Dish #64 - Aloha, Brits.

The Dish: Prince William has two new things in his life as of today: a fiancĂ©e and an ever-so-glaringly-receding hairline. Word in, Kate Middleton (the lead lady in question) received the 18-carat sapphire ring that was once owned by the legendary Princess Diana herself. It must be so nice to have royal connections. Apparently, Middleton will be the first commoner to marry an heir to the royal throne in 350 years. 

The Deathly Hallows: Following the British stream of things, I could not be more excited for the new movie. I'm super prepped - I've re-read the seventh book and I honestly know all the trailers by heart. I'm ready for some gloomy, soul-sucking terror. I know it's a children's movie but Ralph Fiennes is just such a good actor. By the way, Emma Watson is rocking the short hair. And I would (almost) die for Daniel Radcliffe to make an appearance on Glee, since I mean, everyone can somehow fit into a storyline on Glee, no?

Hawaii Five-0: I cannot adequately explain how much I love this show. Here's are the Top 10 reasons why I can't stop watching, week after week.

10. A lot of ridiculously gorgeous people. Mostly in swim wear. 
9. The plot is so implausible. Yet who cares - it's entertaining and you root for the good guys.
8. Some poor terrorist always gets their ass kicked or forced into a confession in the most illegal way possible - like strapped onto the front of a racing vehicle with ropes that came from a modern art exhibition or thrown into a shark tank.
7. Something will explode, be totaled or be burnt to the ground in every episode.
6. Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park: Wooh! Asian actors!
5. Pretty sunset, surfing, pretty sunset, wait...hey it's the forest they filmed Lost! It's so green...ooo pretty beach...aww dolphins...
4. The bromance chemistry between Caan and O'Loughlin is uncannily good...and sweet?
3. Fans have now made a FIVE-O bingo card. It's so much fun to play along while watching. Still haven't been able to get a bingo though.
2. Scott Caan has the ability to deliver the stupidest lines and render them into something so funny that you might be confused temporarily that the script is better than it actually is.
1. Alex O'Loughlin is like the human equivalent of a tasty and perfectly baked chocolate cupcake...but he's also the icing...AND the sprinkles on top of the icing on top of the chocolate cupcake. Ya, you get my point...so who cares if his acting isn't so great.

Dish #16 - Life's little treats.


The Dish: Finally, here comes the first post of May. Things seem to be lighting up a little this month. Plans are becoming clearer and I'm getting more things completed. Although none of this relates to job searching, I find it quite pleasing to relax at home and enjoy some things that I never have time for. Say hello to the top five treats!

Treat #1
Coffee truffles! Joyce and I had so much fun making these. I'm gonna keep tweaking the recipe until they turn out even better. For some reason, they melt at room temperature and I've been keeping them in the freezer!


Treat #2
Classics. These almost-new novels are freshly borrowed from the public library. I think this is going to inspire me to write short stories again or at least provide some quality reading.


Treat #3
Adam Lambert. I can't stop blogging about him because he is just so brilliant. Enough said. YES!!! This just in! Tonight's elimation: HE WILL BE IN THE FINALE! Photo courtesy of: tvmadman.wordpress.com


Treat #4
It's fruit season! Cherry picking, I do miss it very much. Photo courtesy of: wallcoo.net

Treat #5
After some bummy winter movie months, the summer blockbusters are finally here!
