I am just catching up on the show. You wrote: "And they pretty much intimated that Lynette's cancer had returned, right?".  I was just wondering what made you think this?  I didn't see anything that made me think it. So either i totally missed it. Or you saw something i didn't. Please tell.

At one point in the show, Lynette was talking to Tom, and he commented that her hair was "coming back nicely." After he walked out of the room, she looked in the mirror and said, "Yeah, coming back" and had such a look of gloom and misery on her face. I assumed she was refferring to the cancer coming back, not her hair.

Such a bee-yoo-tiful spring day today.  And more to come this week.

Just watched a movie on DEE VEE DEE titled Harry and Max which was very strange....

I had more time tonight than I expected to have, so I got quite a few things watched. I started by finishing the Ben Hecht documentary. Had some lengthy clips from NOTORIOUS, one of the all-time great films. He didn't need any more Oscars by then, but it is so shocking that he didn't win an Oscar for this screenplay.

Next, I watched the final documentary for this Indy episode: a half hour on the Harlem Hellfighters, the 369th black regiment who fought with great distinction in WWI.

Next, I watched the penultimate Indy "movie," titled "Scandal of 1920." Indy's in NYC and gets a job as assistant stage manager for the GEORGE WHITE SCANDALS of 1920. He's also dating three women at one time, one of them played by Anne Heche.

During the episode he meets and becomes close friends with George Gershwin. He also meets all of the Algonquin Round Table folks as well as Gershwin's pal Irving Berlin and some other Tin Pan Alley types.

I started the documentary on Tin Pan Alley, the first of three connected with the latest Indy program, but I didn't quite get finished with it.

NCIS had what amounted to a clip show revolving around the identity of the murderer of Armand Assante's character from early in the season. I guessed wrong. OK show, but I am so glad that Tony and the doctor daughter of the victim did not pick back up with their romance.

My thoughts on IDOL.

The only singer I could find any enthusiasm for tonight was David Archuleta. He took the sappy "Think of Me" and made something soft rock out of it, turning it into an interesting song, one that I would easily buy if it were available on CD.

Brooke and Jason had disastrous nights as far as I'm concerned. And I can't stand "You Must Love Me," a weak song to my mind.

Syesha's tune was lively enough but she typically lost her pitch on a phrase somewhere in the middle of the song. Not great.

Carly's "Jesus Christ, Superstar" was out of her range. The notes were too high and she cheated MISERABLY on them over and over. Ruined it for me.

As for David Cook's "Music of the Night," it was a pleasant rendition and certainly showed that he can sing without screeching and rocking out every song he sings. But I found it unremarkable otherwise. Nice, secure, nothing weak but nothing phenomenal.

Since I watched IDOL in about 30 minutes, I had 30 minutes to get through about 2/3 of last night's CSI: MIAMI. A vigilante targeting sexual predators was making for a pretty interesting case. I'll finish it tomorrow too.

I finished my evening with tonight's SVU. An excellent mystery, one I barely figured out before the big reveal.

At one point in the show, Lynette was talking to Tom, and he commented that her hair was "coming back nicely." After he walked out of the room, she looked in the mirror and said, "Yeah, coming back" and had such a look of gloom and misery on her face. I assumed she was refferring to the cancer coming back, not her hair.

my take on it was completely different:

SPOILER:






















Yeah, the hair's comin' back, but not enough of it now that Rick is back in town. . . . .I honestly thought Lynette's thoughts were on Rick, not her hair or or her cancer. . .

I hope Cillaliz's trial is going well.

My trial begins in just 7 1/2 short hours.  It was delayed because the judge wasn't able to get back into town on Monday as he thought. So I had an extra day of prep and I'm really glad I did.  Many things have changed in the past 24 hours, a new witness, one less witness....life in the trial lane. Anyway, it will be a very short trial and I suspect we may get through all the evidence tomorrow, or nearly all the evidence tomorrow.

Back from a run-through - not quite as smooth as last night's, but still moving in the right direction.  I became very ornery about the lines that are still being done not exactly as written and I will become worse and worse as it continues - hopefully it won't.

I had shocking and rather horrid news about Ye Olde Motor Car - much more work involved than previously thought - the good news is the transmission and engine are in excellent shape still, after ten years.  The bad news is there are three oil leaks, belts that need replacing, tires that need replacing, starter things that need replacing, wheel things that need replacing, and the tab for it is worse than I could have possibly imagined - as he was tallying up the prices I just said in a rather annoyed tone, "I should just buy a new car."  However, it's a catch 22 since I couldn't trade mine in in its current condition and get anything decent.  I did ask if I did the work if I'd get at least another two years out of the car, and he said yes.  And I've been so lucky with this car and have spent relatively little on its upkeep over the last ten years, that if you amortize what this is costing it's not quite so painful.  What's painful is that I can't amortize - I have to pay it all at once and when I tell you it's HUGE I mean HUGE.

I recorded "American Idol" and am just watching the performances. ::) I liked "One Rock and Roll Too Many" and "Think of Me," and that's as far as I've gotten.
