Methinks Mr. Shayne has been skipping pages of posts, otherwise he would most certainly know what Claus Ogerman CD we're all talking about. Very few copies left now.

One is mine

I am listening to KMTZ, very relaxing.

Tomovoz, this birthday # 1 hits of HHW sounds like a fun CD...if you get my hint!

Just finished watching the finale of "Lost" courtesy of the DVR. Very well done.

Of course, now my roommate and I are discussing the episode and trying to tie everything together. And speculating about next season. Lots of speculating.

It is quite late and I am tired so I must toddle off.

I will ask for continued vibes for little Sarah and her family. She has just started a new round of chemo that is going to make her hair fall out, her throa swell (she may need a feeding tube) , stunt her growth and possibly cause permanent hearing loss....

Thanks---got it. I have never gotten an email from this particular address so it is now added. The spam trap has cut down on my spam at least 95%!

Something a bt sillier to end my day... something I have lifted from vixdad's blog (you know the players by theirother aliases!)

Quote

The Stevieling has been working on a project for her Spanish class, a slide show on Columbia, in which she has shown some encouraging signs of being a chip off the old block. She had downloaded a plethora of pictures of Columbia for use in this powerpoint project but, because her access to the internet is strictly controlled by netnanny software which blocked references to Columbia, Central America (presumably because of the death squads, drug cartels and so forth), she had inadvertantly concentrated on shots of places in Columbia.

Columbia, Maryland.

Which is a beautiful place as I can attest from personal knowledge, and from where I'm standing a much nicer prospect than Columbia, Central America. The death squads are much more discriminating in Maryland for example, and kidnappings are at an all-time low. Anyway. Showing a delightful lack of insight from such subliminal cues as the accompanying text being entirely in English she assembled a prodigious array of incorrect visual aids and would surely have gone down in the annals of that Spanish teacher's all-time memorable students were it not for the interferring of Mrs Stevie, who insisted that the whole thing be done over.

To get around the vexing problem of the references being blocked (and what we are talking about here is Google hits being blocked), Mrs Stevie decided against examining the firewall settings for a breathtakingly simple plan of giving the Stevieling her, Mrs Stevie's, sign-on credentials. Elegant. Simple. Completely counter productive, as we shall see, but that's neither here nor there. The women of the Steviemanse don't hold with educating themselves about their computer equipment and are adamantly proud of that.

The first product of this new largesse was that the Stevieling complained that all the sites in Columbia (Central America) were in Spanish. It was, of course, entirely unreasonable of her teacher, her parents and the entire nation of Columbia to expect her to actually read any Spanish in a project set for a Spanish class. The next was a suspicious period in which the Stevieling locked the computer room door while she "checked something". I put a stop to that in short order but of course the damage is done. What is the point in me providing software to watch the Stevieling while she is on the web if someone goes and gives her an adult account to play with? I pointed this out to Mrs Stevie who thought she might change her password.

If I would just show her how.

Next season - - - - which begins in February 2008!!!

ARGH!!!!

During the LOST commercial breaks, I flipped ahead on the cable guide to check out tomorrow night's shows, and for the first time in months, there is not one single network show on that I haven't seen or need to see again!

Therefore, I'll be DVDing it all day tomorrow. I'm lining up the films now. I want to watch the Charles Laughton LES MISERABLES. I have Tyrone Power in THE BLACK ROSE lined up. Doris Day and James Cagney in THE WEST POINT STORY may make an appearance.

And then there is always Vil Kilmer is MOSES!

Have I gone nearly tone deaf, or did a major star just crash and burn on AI?

Hmm...

If you mean during the Beatles medley at the end of the program... Well... I'd just it was an unfortunate incident. A one-off.

But if you're talking about a "MAJOR" star, well... I don't think it was a crash and burn. Just someone who shouldn't be singing that song in the same key she sang it in 15 years ago. Especially when over-singing it.

I think.

Well, I had to go back and listen and watch that performance again. It really wasn't that bad. And, heck, the voice has never really been that pretty, so... I just sensed she was trying to fill the cavern that is known as the Kodak Theater as if she did not have a mic. And she also sounded a little sick to me too.

First TV series I remember was "I Led Three Lives".

I adored I Led Three Lives, and I learned never, ever to trust a Commie.

Jennifer · « **Reply #443 on:** May 23, 2007, 10:21:10 PM »

I did not care for that song on AI (that was one of the few moments i did see). Although i recorded it.

Since i knew who was going to win i just decided to watch LOST and then wait for the 2nd half to start here after IDOL.

Not too amused that AI went over by 10 minutes. Hopefully not too many people here got screwed by that (LOST was concluding after it). I saved the end in case my sis missed it (they caught up pretty nicely but they still did not end by 11pm).

RE: LOST finale

SPOILERS

I thought the second hour was much more exciting than the first.

I am so sad about what happened with Charlie. Just as i was starting to really love him.

Nice moment when Ben introduced alex to her mom. So happy that the Other guy (Tom) did not really kill sayid and jin (i was really thinking they were dead). I actually thought locke was going to kill jack. Totally crazy that naomi is not with penny. Totally totally crazy that jack and kate get off the island and that his flashback was really a flashforward. I guess i'm trying to figure out how this with "change everything" as they writers/producers put it. Is it the fact that we now know that they get off the island?

I loved jack telling kate he loved her. But i am so curious whose funeral jack went to in his flashforward. Any ideas?
Well at least it was an interesting finale. Can't believe how long we have to wait for the new season.

Oh and loved loved loved hurley driving the van to help Sawyer and the Castaways. Too funny.

DR Jennifer - Thanks for that link. Alas, there's just too many pages and posts to slog through. But what I did read was entertaining. However, there's one question that everyone was asking, but no one seemed to remember something that happened earlier in the show. -Check your PM.

And, now, I sleep...

Goodnight.
