Haines His Way

I never really disliked Heather Mills until this week when she made Jonathan shave his chest.  Boo!

LOL, reminds me of the Super Dog theme

Do you mean Underdog?

We need to do another TOD of favorite cartoon/kids' shows themes.

Well, what a sad day we've had here in Virginia. I found out around noon what had happened, and immediately called my brother, who lives in Blacksburg and attends some engineering classes at VTech. I can't even begin to describe the relief I felt hearing the sound of his voice. He said that he was on campus, but heard the loudspeaker warnings to get away and stay down, and he just turned around and walked right back to his car.

In my graduating class, I would estimate that 40 people are at Tech this year, and as far as I know, everyone is fine- I feel like I would have heard by now if anyone were seriously hurt, or worse. It was a somber day at JMU today, though. We're only an hour and 45 minutes from Tech, and almost everyone has friends who attend. A few friends of mine had friends who were supposed to have been in the class that was murdered, but missed alarms or decided to skip today. A few friends of mine were in a classroom in the same hallway that everything happened in, and they're obviously shaken, and in need of a lot of help, but thank GOD they're lucky enough to be alive.

Most of the day was spent on the phone, frantically trying to get a hold of people we knew- there were so many calls going and coming from Blacksburg that most cell providers weren't functioning correctly.

I just...I can't even begin to fathom how something like this can happen to people who are so close and so much like me. And I also can't EVEN believe why (a) Dr. Phil is being called upon as an "expert" on CNN, and (b), why the media is SO QUICK to point fingers, and blame video games, and movies, and all of this crap. Why they can't just let these families deal with this in peace, without all of the speculation?

And why the HELL wasn't VTech put under security? If this happened at JMU, I can GUARANTEE there would be security EVERYWHERE, and classes would be cancelled until it was guaranteed that we were safe. I mean, I don't know everything, so I'm not going to make judgement calls, but it just doesn't seem right to me.

I think I'm going to bed. This has been a ridiculously long day.

In response to my saying sanjaya was still around:Why would you be happy the worst singer is still around?

It drives me crazy that people are voting for him.

Because, as you all know, I adore tacky things -- leopard spots, casino carpet, etc.

And I have never watched nor particiated in voting in any reality show.  

Next was a pretty funny episode of OLD CHRISTINE. I think her brother steals every scene he's in. The "Meany Moms" have gotten dastardly lately. I really almost hate seeing them because of their cruelty.

What is Paper Magazine?

I just added a link to the article.  As for what Paper magazine is, I've paged through a couple of issues, and I'm still not sure.  Lots of pretty pictures alternating with pretty advertisements.

Seeing how I love tacky things, you'd think I would love reality shows.

Vibes to all the young people in Virginia who endured this day. There are many young people who will be affected for a long time by the happenings.

Then, I watched about 70 minutes of ON MOONLIGHT BAY. Overall, it looks like a fine transfer, but there are a few places where there are definite registration problems with the color. Much of it looks very nice, however, though maybe just a tad less colorful than MY DREAM IS YOURS.

Heading down to bed now.

Good night!

And prayers and thoughts for all involved in today's tragedy...

Oh, now you've done it dear Jose !!  You really deserve "temptress" after letting me read the link to "The Little Pie Company."  Can we go there.... please please please while I'm there???

But, of course.  I do like their storefront on 43rd - just a short walk from Chez FJL - but their kiosk at Grand Central is nice too.  And provides you with a dessert option after lunching somewhere else in the Dining Concourse.  Or at least a grab-and-go place if you happen to be hopping on a Metro North train.


And that Sour Cream Apple Walnut Pie really is sooooooooo good.

And their seasonal pies are quite scrumptious too.  Place those Pumpkin Pie orders early!
