No, no HD for TV GUIDE channel.

Did Joan Rivers just tell George Clooney he'd be going home with a little gold man and "it's not Jackie Chan"?

Matt H. · « **Reply #153 on:** March 05, 2006, 04:01:39 PM »

Obviously, the E! station is closer to the curb than TV GUIDE since we gets the stars with Joan after they've bee with Iziach.

Yes, one of her more tasteful jokes.

Not a huge fan of Joan.... I do like Melissa though...

AARRGGHH!!!! Yesterday, when I was ushering, my sister called and asked if she could borrow my computer keyboard. Her boyfriend Larry was testing another computer at her house, but she only has a wireless keyboard and it would be too much trouble to hook it all up on this other computer. So I said sure, go ahead. I had logged out of my computer, so all Larry had to do was turn off my computer and take the keyboard. He did. He returned it and when I went to turn on my computer last night, everything seemed fine.

Today, I turned on my computer and there was a problem! My control key didn't work! I use control-alt key combinations to start certain programs. I couldn't figure it out, so I just turned off my computer and jiggled all of the wires connecting to the back and when I turned it on, everything worked. BUT THERE WAS ANOTHER PROBLEM!!! I went to my e-mail and all of the e-mails in my main e-mail address in-box were gone!! Nothing was there except fifteen or so brand new e-mail addresses (and most were spam)!

I don't know what happened. I called my sister and Larry was there (they were having lunch). He said that all he did was turn off my computer, take the keyboard and then put the keyboard back. I don't think he did anything...he actually built/assembled my computer, so he knows what he's doing. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary when I logged into my computer and e-mail. There were only about 30-40 e-mails in my inbox, and nothing contained life or death information, but still, it's damned frustrating to lose stuff like that. However, it's not as bad as a couple of years ago when my whole computer crashed and I lost EVERYTHING! So, I'm fairly luckly.

Lauren Hutton just said there were a lot of people outside the red carpet protesting BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN! That's the first real protests I'd heard about.

Jessica Alba's dress is gorgeous.

Whoh! Felicity Huffman has a VERY low cut black dress. Wow!

Jada Pinkett Smith has this startling indigo dress, very form fitting, and she looks great.

I agree on DAYS, DakotaCelt. The person who bothers me to no end though is Roman or John or whatever his name is. Drake Hogestyn. One of the most annoying actors known to mankind. I haven't watched the show in ages, but I can't even see that guy in a commercial.

Drake is the most favorite (soap) actor of a woman that I work with!

Salma Hayek has a tight soft purple dress hat looks wonderful on her.

I love that Sandra Bullock's dress has pockets- brilliant!

Matt H. · « **Reply #169 on:** March 05, 2006, 04:28:13 PM »

Nicole Kidman's dress is obviously expensive, but it's not eye-catching like some she's worn in years part.

I don't know from the Oscars, so I am planting tomatoe (a Dan Quayle reference) plants.

SW Ohio here, checking in for the Oscar bash! DH Richard and I thoroughly enjoyed Thoroughly Modern Millie at Dayton's Victoria Theatre this afternoon. We stopped and did a little shopping on the way home. We've had some dinner and now I'm settled in here in my computer/dressing room. The TV in here in a tiny B&W, so you all will have to tell me what color the dresses are!

Hi! Hey, my sister and I went to see TransAmerica today - wow. I don't care WHAT Reese Witherspoon "went through"... Felicity Huffman's performance is one of the great achievements. Yowza. What she did... in every way, off the charts. Hope she wins...

S. Woody White · « **Reply #173 on:** March 05, 2006, 04:31:02 PM »

Der B and I just got back from a shopping trip. We're having to replace something the Dalmatian, Fletcher, broke.

What he broke was the toilet seat.

He's in the habit of getting nighttime slurps from the toilet. He sticks his nose under the seat, lifts it up, and drinks what he wants. Then he withdraws his head and BANG! the toilet seat comes down.

Well, he did it one time too many, and the seat cracked. For a while, der B and I tried to cope with the broken seat, but it pinched our... uh, thighs, that's it, it pinched our thighs. We toyed with the idea of using duct tape to work a repair, but in the end (remember, no groaning) getting a new seat won over.

Unfortunately, Home Depot was closed by the time we got going today. Hey, we were tired from yesterday's trip to Philly, we got going late. If Home Depot was closed, we figured Ames would be closed, too. That left us with... Super K Mart.

That place gives me the creeps. It's large and it's blindingly lit, and the workers there wander around like zombies. Still, they did have toilet seats. They had a wide variety of toilet seats.

They had white toilet seats. They had oak toilet seats. They had cheap plastic toilet seats like you find in gas station rest rooms. They had toilet seats with palm trees embroidered on the cover. In the end, we chose a padded toilet seat in a dusty shade of blue. I thought it kinda matched der Brucer's eyes.

He's installing the seat now. Hopefully, when Fletcher goes to get a drink tonight, and he will, the seat will fall down a little more quietly.

Not a huge fan of Reese Witherspoon's dress. It looks kind of puckery.

Matt H. · « **Reply #175 on:** March 05, 2006, 04:33:06 PM »

I switched over to the ABC preshow.

Matt H. · « **Reply #176 on:** March 05, 2006, 04:33:42 PM »

That marbling on Reece's dress kind of washes her out. Not impressive.

Matt H. · « **Reply #177 on:** March 05, 2006, 04:43:00 PM »

That was interesting. They used pipe tobacco in the cigarettes in GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK.

I saw a little bit with Felicity, but didn't get to see the back of her dress...hopefully, I'll get to see it as she's walking up the stairs to accept her award.

The Vixter's 30 Hour famine was a rousing success and the 20 kids ages 13 -17 that participated were very happy to finally sit down to dinner at 6 PM last night.

The Vixter collected $410 in donations all on her lonesome and the gropup collected a total of $575 and seven shopping carts full of nonperishable items from customers of the the five supermarkets where they stood for three hours in the 40 degree temps with the wind blowing.

A nice dedicated bunch of kids. Next week we will learn the dollar total collected by the group as a whole.

Very impressive! Please tell the Vixter congratulations!
