I can't say that i was totally surprised. I predicted kristy, sayeisha (sp?) and even remi would be in the bottom. Of the guys david hernandex was the only one i thought did poorly enough to be vulnerable.

So i wasn't surprised to see kristy, sayeisha and david in B3. But i really did think one of the girls would go (mostly because i thought he was more popular). I'd heard a few people say he was their favorite. I can't say i care (since there was something about him i did not like). But it was interesting that his publicity did not keep him around longer.

To be fair, I thought David Archuleta was terrible.  I know that popularity counts for a lot, but David Hernandez was MUCH BETTER than Archuleta...even though both weren't particularly good.

And I don't care what anyone else thinks: Kristy Lee Cook rocks!  That song was very agreeable for the C/W spin she put on it.  It was a bit too C/W for my tastes, but it "worked", despite Simon's hypocritical stance that it didn't translate.  It was as viable for C/W as Amanda's was for a southern juke joint.

Paula is totally out of her mind/out of control and someone NEEDS to do something.  She's a disgrace to the Fox Network (IF that is even POSSIBLE), and certainly a national disgrace to be so visibly drugged-out on a show that draws more viewers than any other.

Simon seems on the verge of having it out on network TV with her.  They've had some ugly moments the past week, and Paula blames Simon when it's truly her fault.

MBarnum, when you visit the Humane Society do you take the dogs out to play?

No, but I was sure tempted to this time!

Wallace sure is a cutie, and very tempting.  His blurb says he isn't keen on car rides.

I would think so, unless he gets sick in a car.  They didn't state he does get sick so I would hope that isn't the reason.  I have never had a dog that got sick, thank goodness, and wouldn't want one.

One of my favorite prison(er) movies is:

George-Good chose of movies.

Where in tarnation IS everyone?  

Will we never get to page five?

Best of luck with these two new dogs!  VIBES to the woman!  I hope she gets her life back, and her dogs.

The female was very agressive towards Buster and it clearly was not to be.


Wiggles, on the other hand, was a love-fest:

Wiggles first trip to the side yard.
 

Sniffing


And more sniffing


And exploring the back 40



He let me push him throught the doggie door both ways, but has yet to so do it alone (he did discover that the yard is for peeing and pooping).

I put a dish with food in the newly cleaned out crate in the Dining Room - said "Wiggels - Kennel" - and in he went.

He is now napping on the hall floor.

The women has another friend with no animals who is willing to take the "robust" female.

When I got in from a late lunch, I put in THE SMILING LIEUTENANT and watched that DVD. Brother, neither Claudette Colbert nor (especially) Miriam Hopkins could sing much. So happy neither wanted to persue a musical career.

The ending of this movie has always been a surprise. You're primed for Chevalier to end up with one woman, and he ends up with another. I'll bet folks at the time were surprised, too.

I didn't have enough time left to start on another movie and finish it, so I put in a CSI: MIAMI disc from Season 3 and watched an episode. This was the one that introduced patrol officer Ryan Wolf to the show, always one of my favorite episodes and a smashing introduction for his character to join the CSI team.

We're STILL on page four?

I watched a truly great dvd last night. . .oh, nevermind, that's TOMORROW's TOD.  

Today's mail brought the review copy of SWEENEY TODD (streets April 1). It's a two-disc set, so it's loaded with featurettes. I'm not going to start on it until tomorrow afternoon, and I think for a change, I'll watch the bonuses in the afternoon and the film at night (after it gets dark, so I can better judge black levels on the disc.)

More silly publicity stuff. The disc came on an aluminum pie plate surrounded by red excelsior and covered with the PR material printed on a round cardboard lid with the liner notes on one side and the movie logo on the other.

. . .and STILL page four.
I listened to Anthony Newley's soundtrack this morning and this afternoon.
