Hi CillaLiz.. that must have been very frightening for your brother. I am glad he is okay.

Hello all

I have now survived two days of work in the new place, and I think I'm gonna love it. Of course there are drawbacks...a couple coworkers I could live without, 3 year olds who aren't QUITE potty trained yet, and having sore feet at the end of the day...but really, I'm having a great time and I really feel in my element.

The place is exactly the kind of childcare center I want to work for, somewhere that provides childcare for those who can't necessarily afford it. The quailty of care a child recieves should simply not be determined by the financial situation their parents are in. Kids do not choose to be born to teenagers, or be put in foster homes, and should not suffer a lack of care because of it. All kids deserve great care. OK, end of rant.

So I'm in a good place, people, and I thank you all once again for the copious amounts of vibes

Massage time. I do hope that the WUSSBURGERING hasn't already begun. That would be too too frightful for words.

I am going to attempt to post some pictures lets see if my attempts at resizing have worked.

These are my nieces Katy (7) and Jenn (11) and the Vixter

I am pleased for you Ann. It is very important to have a job you like. I am suprised though, that they would hire threee year olds, particularly ones that haven't been potty trained.....

Mr. Vixmom and I drove over to Jones Beach (its about 20 minutes from my house) a couple of weeks ago when the Vixter was at Luther League

and this is what I saw

TAR finale was great! No spoilers here, but it was quite a race and great to watch.

I'm glad your job is going well, Dear Reader Ann. In fact, I am drinking a Cherry Coke to celebrate. That, and I need all the caffeine I can get my hands on for the last all-nighter of the semester.

I'm glad Dear Reader Jane is entertained by my misfortunes.

So am I, in fact, when I'm not yelling at the wall and resisting the temptation to tear my teacher's textbook to shreds. That's what F. Scott Fitzgerald is for.

And speaking of F. Scott Fitzgerald, I am happy to report that he has found his way into my IAAAAWWOTD paper. You didn't think I could get him into a paper about feminist African and African American literature, but I did it. It makes me feel like I've really accomplished something.

And now, the all-nighter commences...

Thanks Vixmom. He's fine. He was pretty shaken, though.

I have heard no one but Clark predicted to win that Best Musical Actress Tony. I would be very surprised if she didn't.

I would imagine so. His eyesight wasn't permantly injured I hope.

I am so excited I finally figured out the resizing thing!!! I shall now proceed to torture you all with my vacation photos!!!

Well actually, this is a picture of the Vixter with one of the Lost Boys. he is also the son of a couple I have known since we were all kids

IDOL tonight:

I didn't care for either of Carrie's renditions. She sounded more nasal tonight than she has ever sounded and with a speedy vibrato just this side of a goatherd.

I thought Bo gave two excellent, professional performances. For me, he is te best of these four singers.

Vonzell's two numbers were both terrible. She was all over the place on the first one, and the second one was better but still too screechy and desperate to make up for the disastrous first song.

Anthony, to me, is the most improved of all 12 finalists. He's had many poor weeks, but I think the last two weeks, he has been spot on with clear, solid vocals and some sparkle in his naturalness before the camera.

I'd rather see Anthony and Bo in the finals rather than Carrie or Vonzell.

Because Vonzell alluded to a bad day and broke down on camera, I suspect sympathy vote will send either Bo or Anthony packing, more than likely the latter.

Thanks for the heads up on NUMBERS, DR Jane. I still haven't gotten to last week's show, and with SCRUBS and WILL & GRACE recorded tonight, plus DEADWOOD and ROYAL WEDDING (which I'm dubbing over to a DVD-R tomorrow), my DVR has a full slate of things for me to watch. But I'll get to NUMBERS before another couple of days pass.

I would imagine so. His eyesight wasn't permantly injured I hope.

It happened at 1:00am on a highway in the country so it was pitch black out and he was temporarily blinded by the light, so to speak. He said everything was white and he couldn't see for awhile, but said he's ok now, so I'm assuming he can see.

I asked him if he was sure it wasn't an alien spaceship and told him to call me if he suddenly develops an intense desire to start making models of Devil's Tower....I don't know why, but after I knew he was ok, I kept thinking of the scene in Close Encounters where Richard Dreyfus' truck is caught in the beam from the ship!!!

It took him a minute, but he did figure out what I was talking about and started laughing. He's fine.

DR Sandra - Is they any chance you could compile all the various sentences and/or paragraphs into which you worked F. Scott Fitzgerald? I sure would like to read them.

American Idol:

I have a different viewpoint from DR MattH.

Tonight was Anthony's. Vonzell's first performance wasn't great, but it wasn't awful. Her second was just fine.

Bo's first performance was boring, as Simon said. The second was another in a string of songs written for singers with Bo's vocal range...delivered in the same way...with the same schtick of 70s rocker -- which is now looking tres cliche to me. I did not care for either of his vocals.

Carrie was hideous. Simply hideous. Whatever she thought she was doing when she tackled "If You Don't Know Me By Now," she was clearly out of her element in ways which have heretofore been unexplored by her. It was beyond awful into a realm of incredibly, impossibly horrendous.

Anthony's songs were delivered with sincerity, power and a nuance he has seldom displayed on the AI stage. He was in command of his vocals -- and with the best range of any of the contestants -- and delivered in spades. He was, quite simply, A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I got goosebumps!
