I pick "whatever."  

Careful! Those who pick "whatever", and then do "whatever", often contract "whatever".

...And since I had allowed myself to sleep in a little bit this morning, I was rushing a little bit to get out of the house.

I blame DR elmore.

Moi (gasp!)? You pestilence!  J'accuse!

[singdaw]

DR elmore3003, thinking of you and your ongoing estate/legal issues.  That can be a full-time job, in itself.

You will let us know, won't you, if your remote shows up?

[elmore3003]

The show's stylists do all the hair.  The contestants just sit there and express their wishes.

Sanjaya credited one of the guys doing hair and said he'd told him he wished he could have a mohawk...so he did seven centered-on-the-head pony tails using Sanjaya's own too-long hair.

It looked like crap...but it certainly matched Sanjaya's performance.

DR RonPulliam, add me to the cheerers of your new plateau.  

I've been thinking about Sanjaya and the manipulayions of show biz.  How do we know the public hasn't continually voted him off each week and the producers are ignoring him?  I don't believe in honesty on any of these manipiulated reality shows, and I think AI is no exception to the rule.  Sanjaya's complete ineptitude on so many paramount levels makes him a fascinating study in utter cluelessness.

I think it's cruelty and humiliation from AI keeping that poor fool on the program.

Good Afternoon!

Lunch: Orange-Glazed Chicken Breast with rice and veggies. Quite tasty - and healthy (for a change!).

DR elmore3003, thinking of you and your ongoing estate/legal issues.  That can be a full-time job, in itself.

You will let us know, won't you, if your remote shows up?

Oh, it did.  Yesterday.  I had accidentally swept it up with the garbage and it was in my recyclable paper basket.  I'm lucky I found it before I took the stuff to the basement.

[singdaw]

Great!  

So now, we just have to find DR Michael S's cell phone.

[JoseSPiano]

As for Sanjaya...

At this point, it seems to me that Sanjaya is taking advantage of his "invincible" status now.  I mean, what does he really have to lose at this point?  He can sing well.  He can sing not so well.  He can choose to shave his head.  He's gonna get the attention from the judges - and "America", regardless of what he does.  And I'm betting the producers are probably advising Randy, Paula and Simon to be careful with their comments since there seems to be a bit of "reverse psychology" as it were going on between them and the voters.

In any case... I have a sneaking suspicion that Sanjaya will make it to the final five.

Red River Zoo in Fargo ahs three Red pandas. I love to go and watch them. They are beautiful.

I also love wolves.

In Tenino (about 20 minutes from Olympia), there is a place called Wolf Haven.  It's pretty cool.

[DERBRUCER]

I think it's cruelty and humiliation from AI keeping that poor fool on the program.

You give so little credit to the perversity of the voting audience! (Put in terms you'd appreciate: if the voters [from a pool of presumably at least semi-literate adults] can re-elect Bush, certainly the AI voters [from a pool of opposable thumb test-messagers] can enjoy a good joke.)

Now I just have to wonder if that girl is still on her hunger strike until Sanjaya gets voted off.  -And if that guy is really sending her boxes of Twinkies each week.  

*If you don't know what I'm talking about, check the late nights posts from a few nights ago.

[JoseSPiano]

OK... Back to those tapping feet...

Laters...

RE: sanjaya.

I know many have said he could win it all. But i don't believe that.  There are many more people who don't want him to win (than want him to win). The fewer contestants left the better chance he has of leaving.

Right now we have 9 (is that right?). I don't see him lasting more than a couple more weeks.

[DERBRUCER]

 I had accidentally swept it up with the garbage and it was in my recyclable paper basket.  

Good Grief! I thought I, alone, had the housekeeping skills that would allow a remote to go unnoticed amongst my still to be collected garbage.

Tiny Tim, Sanjaya, now her!

Back with the first batch of CDs.  List coming right now.  As I said, send your wants to haineshisway@aol.com asap - I normally will have fifteen copies of each title, but there are a handful with only five to seven copies.  I've tried to pull interesting stuff, but a lot had to do with what boxes were easy to get to.

Anyone hear from Danise? I thought of her because beginning Tuesday one of her favorites, Michael Ball, is doing a series of six programs on BBC Radio 2

BALL OVER BROADWAY

Tuesdays from 3 April 4:30-5:00pm EST

Musicals continue to dominate Broadway, and there is no shortage of exciting new shows finding success down the Great White Way. In the latest six-part series of the award-winning Ball Over Broadway, West End and Broadway star Michael ball samples the latest in musical theatre entertainment. The series will feature six very different shows reflecting the best of contemporary Broadway. There'll be contributions from a powerful line-up of performers, writers and directors, as well as a few choice words from New York.

BALL OVER BROADWAY

This isn't an operating link, it just takes you to the site so you can read about it and other radio "documentaries" on BBC Radio 2

Five!
Five!
Five! Five! Five!
Let's sing a song of five!
How many is five?

Oh man. That's good.  You know you can look those up on youtube and watch them? The chef falling down wrecking all those fine desserts.

[Dan (the Man)]

Oh man. That's good.  You know you can look those up on youtube and watch them? The chef falling down wrecking all those fine desserts.

And weren't they produced by Jim Henson?

[Rodzinski]

The thing is, according to the sites that track the calls, Sanjaya hasn't even been one of the bottom SIX people the last couple weeks. Every week he lasts, the phenomenon will grow. People will say, "Hmm, wouldn't it be funny?" and his votes will increase. That's one scenario anyway.

Well, they were part of the Sesame Street show. They do seem to have his sensibility. And the other thing is, the voice of the chef actually sounds like Henson's voice.

[DakotaCelt]

In Tenino (about 20 minutes from Olympia), there is a place called Wolf Haven.  It's pretty cool.

Interesting site

There are a couple of sanctuaries and research facilities in Minnesota. The best known one in MN  is  theInternational Wolf Center in Ely, MN.  

adn the other is Wildlife Science Center in Forest Lake, MN north of the Twin Cities.

Have I ever won anything?

Lemme see. A Sparkling Prize and one of those deals where you guess how many pieces of candy are in a jar.

Thank you Jeanne.

Anyone hear from Danise?

I heard from Danise on Sunday, no news she was just checking on Sherlock.  

I emailed your post to her so she doesn’t miss it.
