The Friday Five! (Special It's Raining Again Edition!)

1. Yep, it's raining here, which is GREAT. Maybe it will be a wet spring, and we'll get some relief from the drought we've been in, the worst in 200 years? That would be nice. Keep it coming!

2. The paperback of Just Listen made the New York Times Bestseller list, coming in at #4. Yay! I had not even considered this was possible, so it was a lovely surprise. Speaking of books, my friend---and fellow Chapel Hill High alum---Melissa Walker just published her second, Violet By Design, a follow up to Violet on the Runway, a book I very much enjoyed. If you're into fashion, or just good books, check it out.

3. Speaking of fashion, I spent ALL yesterday basically avoiding all things internet so as not to find out who won Project Runway. I didn't even let my homepage, Google News, load, for fear of finding out. Then, last night, I collapsed onto the couch and watched. For those of you who have NOT yet watched and are also in a self-imposed media blackout, I won't comment further until Monday. If you haven't watched by then, though, you are on your own!

4. In other TV news, the fab Meg Cabot emailed me yesterday to tell me that it looks like Friday Night Lights WILL be back for a third season. Which is great news that I would have not known otherwise, due to the whole media blackout. You can learn more here. Thanks, Meg!

5. In honor of this great news---and the fact that we've all been Tim Riggins-less for entirely too long---I have to share this video that was on the E! site. I have said that I love, love, love me some Riggins. But isn't it nice when you think you might like the guy who plays him, too? Sigh. And, um, sa-woon!


Have a good weekend, everyone!

Taylor is SOOO cute!!!

Wasn't the Runway finale amazing? They all did such a great job. It could have been any of them. It was a fantastic season. I'm sad it's over.

Taylor Kitsch sounds so Canadian, though his accent isn't as thick as I've heard it before.

Have you seen this article on Friday Night Lights? It sounds like they/NBC have a deal with DirecTV.

Oh wow. Taylor is perfect. I am even more in love with him now. So glad I saw that video. I love rain too, but there is a lack of it in Arizona!

Sarah, you are too good to me! Thanks so much for mentioning Violet by Design.

And, dude, I was going to break down and cry if I couldn't have my Riggins fix next year. PHEW!

Clear Eyes. Full Hearts. Can't lose!

Project Runway as fabulous, no? I am happy with the outcome. Last season I was disappointed because I wanted Daniel Vosovic to win but mmhm. :) Congrats for Just Listen - that's probably my favorite book by you - but it's so hard to pick, y'know. ;)

A couple months ago I ran into Kyle Chandler at a gas station in Austin. He was riding one of his motorcycles. If Taylor Kitsch starts riding around Austin on a motorcycle, I don't know what I will do!

kindof off topic but...
Congratulations on the #4 for Just Listen! I was surprised about the change to the spine though, I thought it'd have headphones but instead a rose? It doesn't really match the others. I am so excited about Lock and Key but I'm kindof wary of the cover. It's totally cute but IT DOESN'T MATCH any of your other books! It's kindof upsetting, everytime I look at it I'll think about the lack of coordination! o_o I had to tell someone this worry of mine! It seems odd, I'm sure, but I always have liked the way they were all similar in style.

Thanks for letting me get that out! :P

Hi!

I just thought I'd drop you a line saying *drum roll* In the last issue of CosmoGirl (Miley Cyrus was on the cover) had a whole spread on Taylor Kitsch...I know you're a fan of him, so I thought I'd let you know :)

Loved the post! Have a great week!
.:A:.

The Truth About Forever
Taylor Kitsch has always reminded me of Wes from The Truth About Forever.

"Raining Again"
"Raining Again" is a really good song by Moby in case anyone wanted to find a good techno "tune" for messy weather.
