I fear I am leaning toward the BK camp with regard to LOST. As I mentioned last week, I was underwhelmed with the season premiere (though Betsy loved it). Even Betsy turned to me last night and said, "I think we've jumped several sharks now."

I'm still holding out hope, but I'm a bit crestfallen after having loved the show since its premiere.

And in other news, the credit union called yesterday to tell me that the loan has gone through and we are more or less the owners of the new house. We actually won't close until February 26 to mitigate owed property taxes.

In the semi-funny department, the one thing the bank financing the loan was freaked out about was the shtuff the seller is leaving in the home, notably the tanning bed. They said they had seen many sales with big televisions left, and even some with pool tables, but never a tanning bed. So I need to write a letter stating what I think it's all worth, which they'll factor into the loan to value ratio. It made me laugh.

I am thoroughly and completely enjoying the final season of LOST. So I am putting some

******POSSIBLE SPOILER SPACE HERE*********

I like the sideways time line. I like, and expected, what may have happened to Claire (although it raises a few questions about Rousseau and her team, Richard, Christian and especially John Locke).
LOST is an incredible journey to a mysterious island. It is HOW the writers and directors are moving us along that journey that keeps me coming back for more.

However, I watched the first ten minutes of THE FORGOTTEN and found that it best be forgotten.

Thanks, DR JRand, for reminding me how hilariously awful it was to watch a CBS late night movie. They used to show some great pictures (I think it's the only place I've seen Robert Altman's "Health"), but the editing was so bad and the commercials so many that you had no idea what you were watching.

I don't envy any of the rest of you with snow. We might get sleet today, which is fun because the folks here can't drive in the rain. Wish I could stay home, but that's not an option.

I'll never forget staying up one night to watch THE DAMNED on the CBS Late Movie. It never played here, and I had read so much about it. Well, it was edited beyond all recognition.

It eventually played in a revival theater in CHarlotte in 1983 or so, so I did see it (and now have the DVD), but its appearance on the CBS Late Movie was a notorious non-event.

I am manically writing and arranging a huge choral piece that will be performed in May as part of a Haitian relief effort. I am really pleased and excited with what is flowing from my (digital) pen, but I have a frell of a lot of work to do.

LOL....yes, DR ELMORE I read that on Datalounge last week.

High school was okay.....but you definitely get out of the experience what you put into it, and it helps to have confidence in what you think and not be easily swayed by your peers.....which usually doesn't happen until one is OUT of high school...

Get up, DR JOSE! It's after 11 a.m. !!!!

I used the leaf blower on the sidewalk and driveway and it worked okay....takes more time, but less effort than the shovel.

Listen, after watching all five previous seasons I want to enjoy and love this final season of Lost. I'm hoping that this setup pays off somehow, but when they introduced this new group of players (a ploy they've used several times now) I just said, "Stop." I especially dislike the second in command, the Manson look-a-like.

The sun is out, despite the dire predictions of more hail today. Maybe it will come later.

BK, that seemed like an almost-wistful wish for hail.

The sleet has started here. But it's time to clean house.

I never think about high school days, which is strange because so many former high school friends have recently sought me out on Facebook. Maybe with that 30th anniversary coming up and time continuing its flight ...

We canceled our plans because of the coming storms. It's not too bad out now.

ASK BK

If you were to release The Best of Guy Haines: His Greatest Hits which 12 songs from all the songs he has recorded (solo albums and rep albums) would you chose to put on it and why

I don't know the why of it, but my favorite of the Guy tracks are When You're Alone, Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, I'm Glad To See You've Got What You Want, Here You Come Again, Past My Prime, Evening Star, Terminal, Marie, You Must Believe In Spring, It Doesn't Matter Anymore, What Can You Lose, and Roadside. Those are the twelve.

ASK BK 2

Do you think using a similar model that Warner Bros is using for their on demand DVDs, that it would work for the music industry? Pressing only the cds that are sold instead of having stock that doesn't sell? Or is the limited edition of 1000 the way to go?

It's already happening with Arkiv Music and on amazon, so it's already working. For us, with soundtracks, the 1000 model seems to be working fine.

I liked Millions of Men. And the one from Cinderella.

re: last night's AMERICAN IDOL hollywood show

I have to say i was disappointed. They spent so little time focusing on the singers. And I hate that they get rid of half after only having them sing once.

There were a few who were featured in the audition rounds who were amazing. They let their nerves get to them during hollywood and they get cut. I was especially upset about the poor country blonde girl whose first time it was on a plane. I loved her original audition (as did the judges). Obviously she was a fish out of water last night. But i really hate that they cut her so fast.
