Niki's Ramblings!



I wanted to blog for quite a long time now, but I always postponed it or I was just too bored and lazy to do so, but looks like it's time to make another blog post! Yay!! 

I've been busy with college, well mostly when my exams began - which, btw I passed all but one! - basketball  practice and games and also with tweeting. I'm really trying to tweet less, but I don't know, I just LOVE tweeting. There are so many interesting tweeps and so many cool celebs I follow that I like reading them and also retweeting them. Then my whole TV shows obsessing grew even more, if that's possible, when I bought a new computer with a huge flat screen and everything looks so HD I enjoy the shows even more! Me LUVs. So the shows I'm currently watching and will be watching during my Easter break (YAY FOR EASTER BREAK!)  are both new and old! 

Ringer starring Sarah Michelle Gellar is one of my favorite, which never stops to amaze me. 
Today I finally caught up with The Big Bang Theory. Season 5 is hilarious, Sheldon is like the best character EVAR made. Well, not really, we all know Cole Turner is the best character of all time. Duh. Yeah. Don't even get me started. 
During the Christmas Holidays I watched all the episodes of Pretty Little Liars and finished season 2. Let's not talk about the A Revelation, cause it was kinda disappointing and it will take long. 
ALSO caught up with Supernatural! I'm watching SPN with my mom and we were an episode behind and we were like yeah, we got this and now guess what! We're 3 episodes behind and there is an all new episode tonight. Allow me to use the appropriate hashtag here: #Fail. I really really REALLY want to watch Cas' return, I've been waiting for so long and now he is back. We need to watch the episodes ASAP! 
Next is Game of Thrones, I've watched the first 5 episodes and I loved it, but it doesn't give me the feeling of "OMG. I can't wait for the next ep.", so yeah. But now in season 2 I hear the supernatural element begins so it will get a lot more interesting!! 
Another TV show I'm late to 3 years is The Vampire Diaries! What took me so long people? I finished season 1 with my mom and we began season 2. I have to admit that in the beginning I was leaning to Team Stefan, but after he got a little crazy towards the end of season 1, I was more on Team Damon. Man, they are both so deliciously yummy, Elena doesn't deserve them!! Speaking of Elena, I kinda wish they had chosen another actress... 
Anyway, continuing with some old shows, my Gilmore Girls rewatch, started 2-3 years ago is coming to its end, as I'm on season 7. Gilmore Girls is one of my all time favorite shows and I believe that it deserved at least one more season. Lorelai rocks! 
Oh, back to the new shows, Parenthood is the show I started watching because of Lauren Graham(Lorelai!) and it's good. Watched one season in less than 3 days and I'll be watching season 2 some time in the near future. 
Now I know, that it will sound a bit crazy, but I hadn't watched Buffy: The Vampire Slayer before and I started only 2 years ago and I'm still on season 3! LoL I remember people comparing Buffy with Charmed and got me all mad when they claimed Buffy was a better show than Charmed and I have to disagree on this one. CHARMED IS CLEARLY A BETTER SHOW
Profiler is a very old show from 1996 that I started watching this week. It's Julian McMahon's first show and I had to watch it till Julian's new show Rogue begins! OMG. Can't wait, FOX must pick it up! 
Last year, I watched on Greek TV the final season of Nip/Tuck and then I got all depressed, so I had to rewatch the show, as I had missed some episodes from various seasons. I finished season 1 and a couple of weeks ago I continue with season 2. 
Now, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill (can't believe the finale aired two days ago.. *sad face*), Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy and The Secret Circle I must catch up. As I'm writing this post The Walking Dead is being downloaded. It's something that can keep me going till the new season of the epic American Horror Story premieres. 

I think I mentioned all the shows that interest me and it's kinda long and short all at the same time, cause I should have blogged more in the past. Maybe. So, I gotta go now and get ready, cause "Oscarina" will be waiting for me to go to Hamptons Cupcakes and she'll get mad if I'm late! Ha! C ya! xXx

Scavenger Hunt!

 Inspired by youtuber Brittani Louise Taylor's Scavenger Hunt, challenged by the other youtuber, Toby, I was challenged by Kostas to go and find the following items:

- Statue of a politician
- Flower bouquet
- Lantern Lamp
- Church
- Anchor
- Besamel


Photos:


Roses!
He asked me to find a fanari(= traffic light/lantern lamp), so I chose to find the second meaning of the word!

This church is located at the castle of Monemvasia. Took this pic at summer!

Spongebob's anchor!

Mousakas with besamel!

So there! I had one week to find all 6 items. Looks like something is missing, huh? Well, I didn't have time to find a statue of a politician.
5/6 isn't bad at all!!!

New Design!

Niki's Salad has a new design! Black replaced pink and I added two pages; TV and Music, though I'm not really sure how that works... Hopefully I'll figure it out.

I want to start blogging more often, so I thought a change would help.  Let me know if you like it below!

That's all for now, I'm going to watch Ringer starring Sarah Michelle Gellar (Yup. She's back!) and a blog post is coming real soon!

Light me up when I'm down...


  
But, I don't think I can be anything other than me.
No, I don't think I can be anything other than me.

What's new baby?

I haven't blogged for a while, but today I filled my facebook page with some awesome videos and I thought why bombard my fellow facebookers with things they might not even "like" or "comment"? And then I remembered I had a blog, Niki's Salad, so here I am...


The first video I want to share is a music video of "The Lazy Song" by Bruno Mars. I watched it on MTV this morning and I loved the lyrics: 


Today I don't feel like doing anything. 
I just wanna lay in my bed.

Don't feel like picking up my phone,
So leave a message at the tone.
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything.


I can totally relate, plus I love the dancing routine with Bruno and the monkeys. Yes. Monkeys. Check it out!





Do you watch American  Idol? Jennifer Lopez performed her new hit song "On The Floor" along with Pitbull a few days ago. What a performance!! J.Lo is a diva on stage. I love the song and her dance is amazing. Kudos for Mrs. Jenny from the Block! If that doesn't make you want to dance, then go get yourself checked.



Next is an old video from iJustine's youtube channel. It's about the launch of the iPad from April 2010. I was looking through her channel, when I came across this. It is pretty funny and I can't believe people stood in lines to aquire the new Apple device. People were cheering like crazy and Justine did her usual iDancing. The video says it all:

A few hours ago I watched "The Big Bang Theory", episode 21 of season 4 and I laughed my ass off! Not only the guys pranked Sheldon with Greek food on "Pizza Night", but later in the same episode, Amy kissed Penny and then Sheldon and Amy danced Waltz. That episode was top notch. These are my favorite and most hilarious parts of the episode:

Greek Food!

Shamy Dancing!

Last but not least, 2 hours ago Lady GaGa revealed her 3rd CD single, "The Edge of Glory", out of her new record.

What do you think?

Oh! I just realized this is my first blog post for 2011. Hurrah! Hurrah!! Ok, that's all for today.
