They should also provide a company credit card for emergencies, which they did not. (This was a well-known company that both Der B and I used to work for.)


Well I had a company AMEX Gold card, of course I suspect some penile endowment was a requirement).

Nice article in the Times, DR elmore3003.  Too bad they didn't mention more about the musical part of the celebration.  

I assume the fire-works were the main-event. That the musical accompaniment was not noted could be a tribute to the creator - setting the stage for others to shine is commendable (but rarely noted),

Good Afternoon!

I'm up, I'm up... And I guess I got eight hours of sleep too... Fell asleep around 5:00am, got up at 1:00pm...  Hmmm....

SUMMARY of last night's HEROES from televisionwithoutpity.

http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/portal/site/TelevisionWithoutPity/menuitem.766266d5c663f366b180b41045001d30/?vgnextoid=e09c3f6b1fe55110VgnVCM1000006dc1d240RCRD&vgnextfmt=default&ShowName=Heroes


SPOILER COMMENT on last night's HEROES:[/color]

*
*
*

I like to read these summaries in case there is something i missed.

In reading this summary there was one thing i had not noticed.  When the warrior guy with hiro had those arrows in his body (that killed him). Did you guys think that he healed himself or that hiro healed him? I thought the latter. But it makes more sense i think if he healed himself.

[size=8]SPOILER CONTINUED:[/size]

First, I am not convinced Erin at TVWithoutpity is correct on this issue of who healed whom.  It MAY BE that Kensei self-healed, but a very important point to remember is that both of Hiro's hands were on Kensei's shoulders at the time.

I also did not think Claire's snipping her toe off was cool....I thought it was way gross and ewwwwwww.  I literally held my hands up the moment she got the scissors in position to snip.  I did, however, watch the toe grow back.  Double EWWWW.

Intriguing, however, was learning about the male twin's power to not only soothe his sister and eradicate all that hemorrhaging damage to her eyes, but to also restore life back to the victim whom I believe was dead as a squashed bug before his power took effect.

RE: last night's DANCING WITH THE STARS.

Last week DR Cillaliz asked who my favorites are. I think i know the dancers better now so i can respond.

There are a bunch of female professionals who i am very fond of: julianne, kym, karina. And i also like edyta.

I think so far the best dancer is Helio (with julianne). She is just so fabulous. She knows exactly the right choreography (most of the choreography has been beyond boring these first 2 weeks). I think she really lucked out (again). I think she got one of the strongest dancers.

There are a bunch of others who have a lot of potential. I think wayne newton has little (and cheryl is not my favorite). Same with the billionaire guy (although he does try very hard which i like). I thought cameron mattheson (sp?) would be better. But he has the right build. He's just stiff.

Not sure how i feel about albert (the male model). He does well. But i'm not crazy about his partner.And i'm not sure how much i like his personality.

I think the boxer is good too.

As for the woman, i'm not sure i am fans of any of them. Although i love jane seymour and her attitude. And i think she could get better (although her back issues will always be a problem).

I thought marie osmond also did well last night. Although i don't really think she could ever win.

I felt bad for jennie garth. And i also like her attitude. She did pretty well last night.

Not that crazy about spice girl.

Then we have sabrina (who everyone is oohing and ahhing over). I haven't made my mind up about her. I think she will be around for a while. But since i've never heard of her i wonder how many fans she will have near the end.

DR MattH - Well, it seems like the "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" Blu-Ray Disc at the Virgin Megastore seems to be an on-going/never-ending sale.  Just sayin'.  ;)

I am not totally convinced that kensei healed himself either. I am going to read some of the posts on that board to see.  Although she is usually correct.

I was also freaked out by claire. I could barely look. So gross.  Although it was interesting that her stalker boyfriend saw it. I wonder if we will ever see her old "friend". I loved that kid.

DR elmore3003 - perhaps DR JoseSPiano should take a look at it, first?  If he can get it going, that might save you a bit of money, for now!

I was planning on buying a new Mac in September but it wasn't possible with estimated taxes and a quarterly health insurance premium.  I've already decided to buy a new Mac this month.

DR Jennifer....I added one more paragraph to my "Heroes" reply to your last one....check it out.

Thanks for the heads up.

Btw, for anyone who is a HEROES fan the forum is extremely cool:

http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?showtopic=3159725&st=0

I did not get a chance to read it last week. But the people here are very bright. And they always give me lots of insight into things i may not have thought about.

Btw2, DRRonP, every comment i've read has indicated that they believe kensei healed himself.  A few have wondered if he was the first hero.

Also what does grandma petrelli and hiro's dad having had sex mean to the story?

Well, I could still come over and see if I can get your printer working in the meantime.

*And then I could also pick my birthday present!

**And maybe even buy you dinner/birthday present!

Now I've just discovered that the drainpipe under the sink has been leaking for God knows how long and my entire space under the sink has about 4 inches of stagnant water and a lot of damaged crap I have to deal with as well.  I'm glad yesterday was wonderful because today is fuckin lousy.

And three of the love-interest characters were actually ONE guy, with whom I spent 17 years. He's not actually French, and we actually met in the cast of Carmen - he was Escamillo...

That's interesting...most times in fictional accounts, multiple people are consolidated into one character.  But what I really want to know is...were you REALLY offered a role in Sunday in the Park with George??
