Review of 2/9 “Lost”

Standard disclaimer here: If you haven’t watched the episode, stop reading here. Blah blah blah…
I dreamt the series finale to Lost the other night. It was pretty cool. Not sure if I should give away all the details, just in case I’m right…or if I’m not right.
On to this episode:
1. [...]

Review/Comments on last night’s “Lost” (2/2)

Here’s my standard disclaimer: If you have not seen the show, stop reading right here. Seriously. Because you will find out things that you do not want to know. And your right to comment “OMG!!! You TOTALLY ruined it for me!!11!!1!” has been rescinded, as usual. Onward…
1. How many [...]

Review/Gabbing on Grey’s Anatomy “New History” (10/12)

Okay, this isn’t a “review” in the literal sense of the word. Just comments and stuff I am…commenting on.
1. Has there always been *that* much of a height difference between Izzie and Meredith? Holy cow…either Katherine Heigl was wearing heels and/or she really is that much taller, or Ellen Pompeo is [...]

Happy 40th Birthday, Sesame Street! (My favorite videos)

I love Sesame Street. And I’m not afraid to say it. My mom said that when I discovered Sesame Street, I dropped Mr. Rogers “like a hot potato”. lol
I can still hear “Abierto” and “Cerrado” clearly in my head…(why learning “open” and “close” was of the utmost importance – I have [...]

And this is why I love Anderson Cooper.

Start watching this video around 1:58.   Anderson starts playing with (and talking to) the stray puppies instead of doing his broadcast.  “Hey, you…Hey, you…I’m sorry…” I love his empathy.
I love how Paula Zahn repeatedly tries to redirect him back to the story – she sounds just like an annoyed teacher. “Anderson…”

Anderson and the [...]

Mac and PC in therapy

After working on my laptop today, I am seriously considering attending couples therapy with Windows Vista. We are having major issues. It looks like Mac and PC have already tried therapy. I think this is hilariously funny. (Why are we always portrayed as wearing glasses and having our hair up? [...]

The “emotional snow day”

Last night I was watching “Pushing Daisies” (a great show, although it has recently been cancelled), and one of the characters, after having a rough time, says, “I need an emotional snow day!” 
Emotional snow day…I like that concept.  Maybe if more of us took emotional snow days there would be less illness, less relationship issues, [...]

Dear George W.,

I just saw you get interviewed by Bob Costas during the Olympics coverage.  While I was pleasantly surprised that you were actually articulate, you need to SIT UP STRAIGHT.  You slouched and leaned in your chair for the whole interview.  Not only that, but when you slouched, your coat was all bunched up in odd [...]

Comments on tonight’s Lost (5/29)

Stop reading if you haven’t seen the episode yet.   Consider yourself thoroughly warned.
I have one word to sum up this episode:  Huh?
My brain is tired.  From what functioning neurons I have left, I was able to come up with the following observations/comments/questions/inane banter:  (Wait, can it really be ”banter” when it’s just me typing?)
1.  So [...]

Thoughts on last week’s Lost (5/22)

I know, I slacked and didn’t post about the Lost episode until today.  I had a mini-vacation.  I’m allowed.

1.  So, Jack and Claire are brother and sister?  Huh?  When was this ever discussed?  Just kidding.
2.  So now we know that Jack did in fact know that Aaron was his nephew when he commented [...]
