Happy Hump Day: James Callis

james_callis

I definitely have something for British men, so it was no surprise that I immediately loved Baltar, played by James Callis, during the very few episodes of Battlestar Galactica I caught randomly as my husband played catch up over the weekends. I then unfortunately embarrassed myself to no end last year at Comic-Con when my friend, Fullman, got us tickets to see the BSG Orchestra in concert and I drunkenly stumbled towards Mr. Callis, grabbed his arm, pulled him over from his group of friends and told him I thought he was “so awesooommmme.” True story. Now when I see the poor man on FlashForward, that is basically all I can think about. Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol. 😉

Enjoy the nerd-licious picspam, ladies!

The Dead Weather – Sea of Cowards

SeaOfCowards_cover

Thanks to Filter Magazine, I was able to score a digital copy last week of The Dead Weather‘s sophomore album, Sea of Cowards, which is officially released in the US today. I have to say at first listen, I was missing the fun, yet raw tunes from their 2009 debut, Horehound, but that was very short-lived. I popped my copy of the album in my car as we took a road trip this past weekend and was really able to sit back and enjoy it. After all, isn’t music better at maximum volume while barreling down a barren highway?

But I digress.

Weekend Highlights

Saturday we went on a mini-road trip up to Orlando to pick up some white laminate flooring for the hubs’ office. Unfortunately, our IKEA doesn’t carry laminate flooring any longer and they refused to ship it down to our Sunrise location (which I thought was silly) so we just had to take matters into our own hands and drive up there to grab it ourselves! Since we were making the trek, we decided to make it worth our while by stopping in to Orlando’s new H&M at the Florida Mall. I wasn’t very lucky with clothes (either they didn’t have my size or it was ill-fitting), but was able to stock up on cute accessories including the two pairs of shoes above! The striped wedges were only $20, while the orange ballet flats were $10! I definitely cannot wait to have one of these closer to home! 😉

1. Anthropologie's Bustled Shower Curtain

Now that we are almost ready to move into our new home (squee!), I’ve been shopping for a lot more home accessories than usual. Unfortunately, I stumbled upon this gorgeous ruffled shower curtain from Anthropologie. I say unfortunately because this pretty little lady is $118! Of course, after seeing it, I became obsessed with having a ruffled shower curtain in our master bathroom and thankfully after some Internet scouring, I found a more affordable ruffle action from Target. But I’ll most probably still find myself lusting after this one from time to time. Oh, how you pain me so, Anthropologie!
