So I got my pictures back! I was a little disapointed because a few of them came out really blurry. The camera guy said it's probably because John was moving too much. My other camera caught movement... :huh: Anways, here are the best ones. Enjoy!
http://images.ofoto.com/photos595/1/1/66/82/23/6/623826601105_0_ALB.jpgI couldn't help but take a pic of Scotty, the little celebrity he is...
Uh-oh... I don't know if those worked. If you guys can't see them, I'll email them. (Claire and Tash, you'll need to leave your addresses )
katie the ones you sent me don't pop up cept for the cover pic.... you're such a cutie!.......and these say forbidden
Really Nayer? I'm so upset!!! They worked when I emailed them to myself... Did you click the button that says "View Photos"??
YES i clicked button that says 'view photos'....it's my computer, sometimes it loads ok sometimes it doesn't.... i'll keep trying
see told you......as soon as i made the previous post i tried again and they worked! thanks katie...i luv your little captions at the bottom ...i can never think of anything to say.....and you've got a modern art pic of john too!
hey, is sarah related to you?....you guys have a lot of the sam features :huh: or are my eyes playing tricks...i think you guys do
Yay! You saw them! They're not fabulous. Those are the ones that came out the best. I should have taken more. And not used John Mayer as my first go with that camera. Oh well.
I'm going to ask my friend if I can borrow her digi camera because I'm so far away from the stage with the zoom on my mum's camera all I will see is a blob that resembles John.
<span style='color:blue'>I totally forgot to tell you that your pics were great! I've been so busy lately...but yeah. And no wonder mraz was givin' it up to you. </span>
<span style='color:purple'>Woohoo..thanks for the pics. THey are great!!!!! I can't wait until August 7...I am so going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tasha... I know the Local-83 presale for the ON show was a day or two ago. I'm not sure when the public onsale is but if you want to borrow my account for L-83 to see if there's anything left PM me.
i am amazed that i forgot to start this thread!!! last week's episode... with rebecca finally gone, seth and summer reunited, lindsay leaving the show.... omg... was i just the happiest girl on the planet or what???!!!
okay.. first... sandy FINALLY did the right thing and chose his family instead of screwing up with this whole rebecca thing. i was NOT sorry to see her go. poor kirsten. i would never have put up with what she did. she's a friggin saint.
next... i know everyone else liked lindsay, but i never did. there was just something about her that bugged me.... the whole thing with the scenes with her playing that damn oboe. :rolleyes: please. :rolleyes: and now she's going to chicago with her mom. yippee! i am loving the idea of a new love interest for ryan... unless they're going to put marissa back with him.
and oh so very last and best... seth and summer and the spiderman kiss! LOVED IT! i liked zach and all, but seth and summer belong together. no getting around it.
Seth and Summer. When she saw the little Seth kid playing with the horse! Ugh, couldn't you just see the "That's what I want my kids to look like!" look in her eyes?
<span style='color:purple'><span style='font-family:Arial'>I didn't like Lindsey at all, so i'm with you on that one. It was just weird with her and Ryan, and their incest talks Oh, and I totally dig Marissa for the first time, cause she isn't with Ryan. I like her with Alex. But the previews are hinting at Marissa and Ryan getting bak together...which would totally suck. Seth and Summer...finally! They've been dragging us on for long enough. I'd like to see some familar faces back. Like what the hell happened with Teresa. She still has Ryan's baby right? I can't believe now they have some love interest for Kristen, so the tables are about to turn. I'll be mad if she does something. U can't ruin a good thing like Sandy and Kristen..
i think teresa is absolutely coming back into the picture... it's just matter of time. they'll wait till everything is all perfect and going smoothly for ryan and whomever and then... SMACK! they'll bite us in the ass with it!
i'm not sure i want ryan and marissa back together either. but at the same time when she was talking to summer about missing him every day, that was kinda sweet. i don't know... i'm torn.
i saw the actress that plays teresa on that new show numbers and wondered if she was going to be a regular, but i haven't seen the show since the premiere one so i don't know
yeah... she bugs me lately too... she bugged me before, but she's been on my nerves especially hard lately. :rolleyes: it's this thing with alex, i think. i mean, i have absolutely no problem if she wants a chick, but if you're going to be a lesbian then be a lesbian, you know?! don't wallow around looking baffled and pathetic and go "oh... i don't know. i'm so freaked out. i don't know what to do. do i like pee pees or do i like hoo hees? poor me. i'm sexually confused."
oh... i don't know. i'm so freaked out. i don't know what to do. do i like pee pees or do i like hoo hees? poor me. i'm sexually confused."
I know, eh?! What's up! I thought you had dissapear cuz I haven't seen you on the Athletes board for such a long time! How's the baby?
<span style='color:blue'>I don't like how they made Alex freak out all of the sudden. I mean, Marissa over Seth? C'mon, now. Be realistic. Even Ryan would pick Seth over Marissa.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to Ryan and Marissa! I'd rather see him with... Anyone else. Man, I really do miss Lindsay. Was I the only person who liked her?
I also miss Luke and Jimmy. They need some more regulars on there. I'm tired of someone popping up and having potential but knowing they won't be on long enough for anything to happen.
i have a theory.....everytime sitcoms start adding and getting rid of new characters & changing the storyline around too much it's the beginning of the end.... i hate to say i liked the show more when they had the whole group of regulars and just built on those storylines..... did that make sense?
where've you been bubs? spring break? i'm going thru a 'miss everyone' stage again....i've heard from k2 and she's on overload w school, but where's k1 been...hope she's ok...
<span style='color:blue'> Everyone has been saying the writing has gone down hill, which I agree. I just don't want it to be the end! What happened? I think it's funny how Seth is kinda always playing off of something real. Like last week how he wanted everything to go back to last year... I think everyone else is too. </span>
Oh I know what you mean, Nay. Although at the end of the mall episode when it was just Seth, Summer, Marissa and Ryan at the table and Seth was like "The four are back together again!" my love was renewed.
I didn't like Lindsay, I didn't like Theresa, I don't like that new office guy, I didn't like Rebecca... there is no need for new characters. They're never good.
only julie..she cracks me up in her snooty kinda way....i still loved the episode where she's denying being close to her ex again and her cell phone rings w their fav. song on it....
The multi-tasking Cohens reluctantly sit down for SandyÃ­s Ã¬sneak attack family dinner.Ã® Sorry, no TV, no video and no phones! No exceptions. Except for Ryan, who receives a call from his brother Trey, whoÃ­s getting out of prison the following day.
The next morning, Ryan mentally prepares himself for the trip to Chino to pick up his brother. SandyÃ­s going with him. If itÃ­s a Ryan problem, itÃ­s a Cohen problem.
Zach shows up at school on a sporty new Vespa. Buongiorno! SummerÃ­s worried that sheÃ­s going to get b****-slapped for ditching Zach at the airport, but heÃ­s surprisingly ok. Wait a minute, heÃ­s not just ok, heÃ­s fantastic! In fact, it was the best vacation of his life! But SummerÃ­s not buying it.
At the prison, Sandy and Ryan wait for Trey to come out. Sandy asks Ryan what he thinks about Trey staying with them for a little while. Ryan hesitates. HeÃ­s not so keen on the idea.
Julie stops by KirstenÃ­s office and confesses that back in her wayward youth a boyfriend convinced her to let him film her naked. She was living on Ramen noodles at the time and needed the money. But afterwards she freaked and made him promise he wouldnÃ­t show it to anyone. And he hasnÃ­t. So far. But now, on the eve of the launch of her magazine, heÃ­s threatening to expose her if she doesnÃ­t come up with half a million dollars. Kirsten thinks maybe Julie should tell Caleb so they can bond over their respective past indiscretions.
Sandy and Ryan drop Trey off at a friendÃ­s dilapidated shack in Chino, but it appears thereÃ­s nobody home to greet him. Sandy revisits the idea of Trey coming home with them and this time Ryan goes for it. Excited, Trey hops back into the Range Rover.
Seth runs into Zach at the school lockers and attempts to clear the airÃ– but apparently thereÃ­s no need. ZachÃ­s fine with Seth and Summer being back together. Seth thinks thereÃ­s something different about Zach. Well, actuallyÃ– Zach makes Seth promise he wonÃ­t tell Summer, then proceeds to tell Seth about Francesca, a hot tall blonde girl he met in Italy. They clicked immediately and theyÃ­re still clickingÃ– via internet, web cam, etc.
Ryan shows a gawking Trey around the Cohen estate. He tells Ryan he knows heÃ­s got a good thing going here and he promises not to screw it up for him.
Seth runs into Trey in the pool house and discovers that, like his brother, TreyÃ­s a man of few words. Trey, on the other hand, discovers that Seth is a man of many words, especially when heÃ­s nervous. Which he is. Now. Fortunately Sandy and Ryan enter and save the moment. Sandy hands Trey a wad of cash and tells him to buy himself some basics.
Meanwhile, Julie takes KirstenÃ­s advice and has a chat with Caleb, a sort of state-of-the-union address. First of all, she thinks they should replace the showerhead in the guest bathroom, fire the new gardener, and oh yeah, and she made an adult film with an ex-boyfriend in the eighties and heÃ­s threatening to release it onto the internet unless she pays him a half million dollars. And, sheÃ­d really like to redo the kitchen. Caleb thinks sheÃ­s gotten herself into quite a bind. But before Julie can completely go off on him, Caleb agrees to pay the money.
At the diner, Summer seems obsessed with ZachÃ­s quick recovery. Seth remarks that ZachÃ­s a resilient guy but Summer presses him for any footnotes he might have to the Ã¬I love Italy story.Ã® Seth tries not to break his promise to Zach but buckles in about a minute or less.
Julie drops by KirstenÃ­s office with the good news that Caleb agreed to pay the half-million. KirstenÃ­s only half listening and appears to be distracted by something just outside her office. Julie takes a peak through the blinds and sees Carter, the good-looking editor of the magazine. It suddenly dawns on Julie that sheÃ­s been so preoccupied with her own sex scandal that she hasnÃ­t noticed KirstenÃ­s. Kirsten tries to deny it but Julie gives her that Ã¬a girl knows when another girlÃ­s in loveÃ® smile.
Back at the hip clothing store, the threesome appear to be having a good time, when the floor manager stops Trey and asks to look in his bag. Why? Because he observed Trey handling a watch at the counter. Trey takes offense, first refusing to hand over his bag, then dumping the contents onto the floor and knocking over a wooden display case along the way.
Zach drops by SummerÃ­s place for the surprise post break-up stuff exchange. Summer tells him that she gets it that heÃ­s moved on but does he have to totally erase her from his life?
Meanwhile, Caleb drops by LanceÃ­s motel room with a briefcase containing half a million dollars. Lance hands over the video in exchange for the money, then asks Caleb what it feels like to get a glimpse into JulieÃ­s past. Caleb replies that he didnÃ­t get where he is today by being a fool -- he knew what he was getting into when he married Julie. Then thereÃ­s a knock on the door and two thugs enter. Caleb informs Lance that theyÃ­re here to get to know him. And by that he means, hand over the briefcase or else... Lance reluctantly hands it over, then Caleb thanks him for the video and heads out.
Back at the The Newport Group, JulieÃ­s in KirstenÃ­s office debating between two outfits for the big launch party when Carter stops by with a bottle of KirstenÃ­s favorite wine. He thought they could have a pre-party toast. Kirsten, aware of JulieÃ­s grin, suddenly turns on her best professional persona and acts incredulous at the thought of something so obviously unprofessional. Julie doesnÃ­t buy the act for a minute. A confused Carter heads back to his office. Julie heads out too, but not before singing a few bars of Ã– Ã¬Kirsten and Carter sitting in a TreeÃ–Ã®
Summer stops by ZachÃ­s house with a bag of his stuff. ZachÃ­s mom hoped sheÃ­d seen the last of Summer, but Summer offers a sincere apology for what happened at the airport. Then she adds that at least something good came out of it, right? If sheÃ­d been there, Zach would never have met Francesca. Who? You know, six-foot-two, Italian supermodel? ZachÃ­s mom wants to know exactly when Zach would have met her given that he spent the entire vacation in his hotel room sulking over Summer?
In the pool house, Ryan asks Trey how the job hunt is going. Not so good. Trey tried five or six places and they all turned him down on the spot. Ryan feels bad, invites Trey out to the pier for some food. Then suddenly Ryan sees the watch from the hip clothing store. Trey claims he went back the next day and bought itÃ– for Ryan. But Ryan doesnÃ­t believe him, he thinks TreyÃ­s never going to change. Before heading out, Trey throws the receipt at Ryan.
Ryan and Marissa head out to Chino to find Trey, and not surprisingly locate him in a local bar, playing pool.
Back at the party, Carter is introducing the inspiration behind the magazine -- Julie Cooper Nichol! Julie takes the mic and tells the audience sheÃ­s about to give them a taste of Newport Living. Play the tape! But instead of a taste of Newport Living, the guests are treated to a taste of a nearly naked Julie Cooper starring in the Ã¬Porn Identity.Ã­ It seems that Lance, posing as a waiter, infiltrated the party and switched tapes. Julie is utterly humiliated but everyone else, especially Sandy, appears to be quite amused.
Back at the bar in Chino, a local guy tries to pick up on Marissa. He refuses to take Ã¬noÃ® for an answer, so Ryan steps in and not surprisingly a fight breaks out. Trey comes to RyanÃ­s rescue and the trio takes off.
Back at the party, Sandy meets Carter for the first time. Sandy tells him he throws a hell of a party. Kirsten just stands there awkwardly. Sandy heads off for a refill and Carter graciously tells Kirsten that if there was any kind of vibe between then, it was him. LetÃ­s just leave it at that.
Meanwhile, JulieÃ­s upstairs in the bedroom sulking when Caleb comes in and offers to take her on a nice, long trip. He tries to comfort her by reminding her that, knowing Newport, by the time they return something else will have happened to make everyone forget this. She canÃ­t argue with that.
that WAS long... but a lot happened in that episode tho. it was a really good episode for julie fans. i loved that the porn popped up on the screen at the magazine launch party!
my favorite line from that episode.... when seth and summer were talking about the fact that he's constantly being insecure, but that summer keeps getting drawn back in... and he says something like (and i'm paraphrasing here)... so the more insecure and nerotic i am, the more you want me? summer says yeah.... and seth says "in that case.... do i look fat in these pants?" ah... i love seth.
i didn't know bill campbill who plays carter? i think was in it now....he was my brother's student when he went to fork union military academy...and use to go into the bar my sister worked at in charlottesville and tease her cuz he couldn't believe her and my brother were related think: no nonsense chemist vs. party girl....
new show tonite! geez i am so glad i have something to look forward to!!! zach was home sick today coughing and all snotty, but not quite sick enough to lay there on the couch and be a good patient. just kept walking around wanting to play and touching all of ashley's stuff so she can get sick next. by about 9:00am i was thinking "if he doesn't get his little hind end on the couch in five minutes, i'm going to get him dressed and take him to school!!! so what if it's only for a couple of hours!" but i didn't. and then on top of all that, ashley decided that today just was not a nap day. YIKES!
oh! and i was scanning thru the guide for next thursday's episode and it says something about sandy, seth and ryan going to visit nana at "leisure land"! that should be pretty funny!
<span style='color:blue'>I missed the last half. I got all up and ready to "casually" run into Eric... just to not see him and miss the OC.</span>
the way your mind moves it's way thru the mazes of not so obvious/obvious run ins that appear so innocent and unnoticed...well it's just not right when they don't work
<span style='color:blue'>I have to go to their meeting Thursday. I don't even think he goes to meeting, but still. I don't know why I'm so nervous, I volunteered. </span>
who else was pissed that the o.c. was bumped for the president's speech instead of that retarded "simple life" show?!!
yeah.... well, right now that sounds good, but at the time it was torture just thinking about having to wait another week for my o.c. fix tho. i went on to the fox website that nite to find out for sure when the re air was going to be and ended up on the message board for the o.c. -- and wow! those people were ANGRY!!
I'm taking an English Literature class on Thursdays, so no O.C. for me. But this Thursday, no class!!! So it's a perfect day for a double-header!
<span style='color:blue'>I'm glad because I've missed the past 4 weeks! I'm so clueless on what's going on...
I heard Ryan and Marissa kissed, but does anyone else feel that she's going to end up w/ his brother? Again, I don't know what's going on. I just want that to happen. </span>
i've missed a bunch of shows too and couldn't believe it last wk cuz i was all set to watch that episode....
is it sad that i'm dreading the end of the season for all my shows...... ok, it is...but i still hope there's some good summer shows they bring on.....big brother would be good....i need a life
for everyone who isn't caught up, go read the little blurbs on the fox website. things are getting WAY serious in newport. only two episodes left!
did everyone watch this past thursday? the trey incident really got to me. i was starting to kind of like his character too. what a loser. poor ryan... always being stomped on by his family.
missed it....got home later than we planned from picking up nick....didn't know i'd be srubbing his dorm room
my first college roommate was a total pig. :rolleyes: i had even been friends with her in high school and somehow had never realized what a total slob she was. i used to get so p-ed off at her leaving her crappy ramen noodle bowls in the sink where we had to brush our teeth and stuff. that is just nasty! she would just move the bowls aside and spit around them!! and that was only beginning....
oh man, a friend at nick's school who was living across the street this year w some seniors was found dead at high pt the other day...nick left school on a thrs and didn't hear about it until his suite mate called....from what they know the boy went out friday after graduation w the seniors to a sports bar and decided to leave early cuz he was tired and getting ready to go back home the next day...well he never made it back to the house off campus and was found down a slope in a small creek that was no where near the direction he would have walked home to from the bar...the police are saying it looks suspicious...no sh**....nick's a mess i do not want him back at that school in the fall.....
<span style='color:blue'>I thought he was going to switch schools? Or did he already? :confused: But that is awful. A guy from my school went missing in December and they still haven't found him. The world's a crazy place. </span>
the world is crazy...yeah he's applied to two other schools...so we'll see, but he'll be at ap state for the summer and hopefully will con't there in the fall...otherwise i don't know what we're gonna do cuz i really don't want him back at high pt
