Quick Fix 2

In this blog entry I talked about how Keanu is my ultimate eye candy man. Since I am at the office at an ungodly hour (yet again) it's only fitting that I return to Keanu--and analyze why he is my quick fix.

I believe it's because he's got the three G's that knock my socks off when it comes to men:

1. Guns



2. Guitars


3. Games


(You'll have to forgive this child. She is sleep- and peace-deprived.)

In other news, Cybele, Nelson and Tony have left the building. Yes, I know they only moved one street down, but I have lived with my sister all my life, so this will take some getting used to.

And I so did not think I would start crying when I said goodbye to Tony! When this work madness is over I hope to really get down and dirty with cleaning and tsuzing the apartment. Right now it looks deserted in some parts and the home of a boatload of refugees in others.

Birds and the Bees

May every mother, daughter and father talk like this.

After Tami saw Matt Saracen buying condoms
“Don’t you smirk at me right now, I am very upset! You are not allowed to have sex! You’re fifteen years old! It’s not just one body part going into another body part, and the fact that you think it is makes me real clear on the fact that you really are not ready for this. And I need you to be able to hear that. I need you to be able to hear me say that to you. Let me tell you what the big deal is. Let me tell you what can happen. What can happen is that you can be hurt. And you can become degraded. And you can become hard and you can become cynical and I don’t want that to happen to you. This is something that’s special. It’s something that’s meant for people who are in love. And you can wait. I want you to be able to talk to me about it.”

Eric + Tami waiting for Julie to come home
"You know you and I have the exact same amount of experience being parents. We've been doing this job the same number of years and months and days as each other. And the truth of it is we just don't have any control. You know, for the most part, we're just winging it. And I'm…I don't…I don't know what to do in this situation. But I'll tell you what, the most important thing to me is that my daughter be able to talk to me. A girl is entitled to that with her mother. My mother used to tell me I was going to go to hell if a guy ever even touched me and you know that didn't work and I'm sure as hell not going to do that to Julie."

After Eric found out Julie had sex with Matt already
(To Matt)

"I know your father is in Iraq but if he were here we'd agree on one thing,: Women are
to be respected," Eric says. And then he pauses. "That is my daughter," he adds.

After Tami found out Julie had sex with Matt already

Later, when Tami first broaches the subject with Julie, Julie glumly asks what her punishment is. "Your punishment is you have to have a talk with me," says her mom.

Tami: "So, umm. Do you love Matt?"

Julie: "I love Matt."

Tami: "Does he love you?

Julie : "Matt loves me."

Tami: "He does...And what about birth control?"

Julie: "Mom, I don't want to talk about it.

Tami: "Hon, that's the conversation."

Julie: "Yes, we're using birth control."

Tami: "What kind specifically?"

Julie: "Condoms. We're using condoms."

Tami: "Do you know how to use them properly?

Julie: "Yes, I know how to use them."

Tami: "You, know you have to use them every time, because you know sometimes boys try to tell you..."

Julie: "Yeah, Matt's really good about it."

Tami: "And you know, just cause you're having sex this one time doesn't mean that you have to all the time, and you know if it ever feels like he's taking you for granted, or you're not enjoying it you can stop anytime...and if you ever break up with Matt it's not like you have sex with the next boy necessarily."

[She tears up]

Julie: "Why are you crying?"

Tami: "Because I wanted you to wait...but that's just because I want to protect you because I love you, and I want to make sure nothing bad ever happens to you. And I always want to you to always be able to talk to me even if it's
about something so hard like this."

Julie: "I didn't want to disappoint you."

[Tami shakes head, hugs Julie.]

FNL Farewell Promo

I know, I know. FNL again?? Pagbigyan ang nagluluksa.

Siguro kung nakita ko ito bago panoorin ang series finale singkit na ako sa luha.

The last song on Friday Night Lights

And the song that's saving my brain.

May the wind be always at your back
And the sun shine warm upon your face
May the rains fall soft upon your field
Until the day we meet again

And the roof that hangs over your head
Find you shelter from the storm

Before the devil knows you're dead
May you be in heaven, my friend

New Muzwak

Thanks to TV. (TV is probably the only thing that's keeping my music kinda in the know.)

Hold me close, I'm sleeping in
I'm sleeping in, my darling
Close the shades, sun's creepin' in
It's creepin' in, my darling

Don't you wanna fall asleep
Forget about tomorrow
Close your eyes, but not to weep
Forget about your sorrow
Da da da da da da da da da da da

Lights go down, it's evening
It's evening, my darling
And the colors change, you're dreaming
You're dreaming, my darling

Don't you wanna fall asleep
Forget about tomorrow
Close your eyes, but not to weep
Forget about your sorrow
Da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da

Oh, let it go
Let your troubles slip from your mind
And lay here with me
Where there's no sense in keeping the time
Da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da
