The Last Five Years

Five years ago, I came back from the most important, life changing, and just plain FUN experience of my life.

I challenge you to find anyone who was once a castle dweller to not say the same thing. For those who don't know, I was lucky enough to spend three months living and learning in a medieval castle in the Netherlands, and bonus: I got to travel Europe on the weekends. Suffice it to say, it was the best few months of my life. Here are a few memories from my time in kasteel well...

first day jitters. staying up for 24 hours. team emerson. huberrrr. coochies. missing friends. making friends. belgian wafels. stroopwafels. meermarkt. strippenkart. hagelslag. frites with mayonaise. the horrible coffee vending machine in the VB {that we had anyways}. birthday dvds played on repeat. scouring the internet for the latest gilmore girls episode. walk for weed. ipod jacking. spice girls song of the day. changing the guard - abba style. best sunset ever in nice. carnival. the olympics! death cab for cutie and john vanderslice in barcelona. ordering a cheese plate for dinner. sangria and chocolate on the beach. czechziety. dusseldorf train station. nippon. sound of music tour. disco bathroom. family dinner at happy hostel. captain planet. do you know the dunleavys? st. patrick's day in doolin. st. patrick's day in galway. emerson hofbrauhaus takeover. greece face. pee stick. pee bed. wanting to leave. not wanting to leave. muffins for life.

I can't believe it's been five years since we've returned home from our 'second life' in Europe. I can honestly say that I would not be where I am today, emotionally and physically, if I hadn't gone to the castle. Dank u wel to everyone that was a part of my kasteel life then, and my american kasteel life now. My life is forever changed because of it.

Old School Jamz

Hey, remember Montell Jordan? Of course you do, but I'm not here to remind you of "This is How We Do It". I re-discovered this jam and forgot how good it was. But you know when you're young and you just sing along to the lyrics without thinking about what it means (see: "Too Close" by Next)? Yeah, that happened with me and this song. "I've got a girl, but you look good tonight"?! Oh Montell. I can't say this might have be the reason of your decent into the two hit wonder universe. But I am.

Do You Mind If We Watch You Hike?

In a continuation of my love for tv and my recent post about Dirty Sexy Money, I bring you one of the stars of that show, Blair Underwood, in a role you've never seen him in before. Hiker.

Beautiful, Dirty, Rich

After swiftly going through 2 seasons of Party Down (which ended up being hilarious through the end, btw), I managed to swiftly go through 2 seasons of Dirty Sexy Money in a couple of weeks. Don't judge. Although two very different programs, both had quite a few similarities. Each only had about 10-13 episodes each season. Both were abruptly cancelled after their second season. And both had two leading men whom I'm now obsessed with - Adam Scott & Peter Krause respectively. (PS, if I haven't mentioned this before, you need to watch Parenthood. Legit the best show you're not watching. Unless you are. In which case, you're da bomb).

In short, Dirty Sexy Money centers around the Darling family, the richest family in the country (think the Hiltons), with Tripp Darling, played by the excellent Donald Sutherland, at the head of the family, along with his wife, and their 5 adult children. Thrown into the mix is Nick George (Krause), whose father mysteriously dies in the pilot, and happens to be the Darling family lawyer. Tripp hired Nick to carry on his father's legacy and the madness ensues.

Overall, I was totally hooked on this show. From murders, affairs, illness, and scandals, it had all the makings of a great night time tv drama. The characters were strong on their own, including my favorites Brian Darling, the son who became a priest yet has a child out of wedlock and the mouth of a sailor, and Jeremy Darling, half of the twin combo who is a party animal/ladies man who turns into a clever hopeless romantic by the end of the series.

Albeit there were a couple episodes that just plain out sucked, I really enjoyed the show. My one complaint - and complaint for all future tv series i decide to watch - is that it didn't have a real, solid series finale. They weren't sure if ABC was going to pick up the show, so they kind of left it as 'this could be the end, yet we're leaving you with a story line that could continue for another season' (see: gilmore girls, series finale). I guess it's not as bad as leaving the show on a complete cliffhanger, but it's still really frustrating for a tv nerd like me. This being said, if you like drama with an dash of soap opera in your tv shows, add this to your netflix queue. The only thing you'll regret is not having watched it when it was on to save the ratings.
