My mother came over today so that I can get some rest (but we all know the real reason she comes over is to see her precious granddaughter), but instead of doing what I was supposed to do — take a nap to relieve my body of the insomnia it has been suffering — I ended up being on my feet the entire day cooking, cleaning, and taking a trip to the Korean grocery store. The two hours between the time that my mother left and J arrived home from work was torture. Comang was being a brat and wouldn't stop barking. Claire was overtired and kept throwing mini tantrums. My entire body was aching, I was having painful Braxton Hicks...

My Favorite Week of the Summer

Aug 01. 2011

...is Discovery Channel's Shark Week. I don't particularly like the ocean, nor am I a very good swimmer. In fact, I have a ridiculous fear of most fish (yes, even goldfish!). But these majestic creatures have always fascinated me. I remember taking out tons of books on sharks from the library when I was a little kid and dreaming of becoming a marine biologist. (Too bad my ineptitude at science — as well as my fear of practically all other fish — stopped that dream short.) I have even made it a goal to go cage diving at least once before I die. (via Twaggies) And yes, Jaws remains one of my all-time favorite movies. :-) Does anyone else get as excited over Shark Week...

Anticipation & Expectations (Movie of the Year?)

Jul 22. 2011

I've been battling a slight cold the past couple of days. Like my sister said to me over an email, "Only YOU would get a cold in the middle of this heat wave." :roll: Seeing as I'm still not feeling 100%, and that it is a Friday — in addition to being perhaps the hottest and most humid day of the year here in the northeast — let's forgo the deep topics and stick to lighthearted subjects instead. Like movies. Last Sunday, my mother insisted on getting some time with Claire so J and I were able to catch the last Harry Potter film on opening weekend. :-) I had been looking forward to this movie for over a year, and had been hearing...

Inside the Architecture and Sets of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

Jul 13. 2011

Unless you've been living under a rock, you are probably well aware that the Harry Potter film franchise will come to a conclusion this Friday. J and I probably won't be able to watch the movie until next weekend due to a lack of a babysitter, but you can bet that we are eagerly awaiting the last film with great anticipation. Lucky for us, the web has been jam-packed with Harry Potter tributes and celebrations. One of my favorites thus far is Architectural Digest's interview with Academy Award–winning production designer Stuart Craig, the man who helped bring J.K. Rowling's vision to life. Here are some of the pictures included in the interview. Click on over for descriptions and even more eye candy. <a...
