movies
Interesting few days around here - woke up two days ago to no heat and today, a huge wind and rain storm had me on edge all day. Our neighborhood is on the oldest grid in the city, so we lose power if someone breathes too hard. We did lose power for about two minutes, but other than that, we’ve been lucky. Most of my city - county, really, is without power. So I’m pretty grateful.
So is the four year old - because, no power = no Elmo. And that’s so not good.
Anyway, I’ve spent the last days catching up on movies I should have seen much sooner but never did - Million Dollar Baby, Batman Begins and Mr. & Mrs. Smith. And I truly do believe that the universe leads you where you need to be at a particular point in time - and even though I’m still semi-stuck on DI, those three movies gave me what I needed. Hard to explain, but they all have themes that tie in to DI, and I just think it’s cool when that happens.
And then, the past two nights have been spent watching American Idol, although thanks to Larissa and her likening all those people who think they’re good and really suck to writers and rejections, I can’t help being paranoid. And I’ve got no excuse for watching Skating with Celebrities. Please tell me I wasn’t the only one watching it.

Chick I was watching Battlestar Gallactica Season 2…….I think you were it. *wondering what you learned from MDB and BB* hmmmmmmm

Raine & Sasha - you don’t know what you were missing…
I guess I have to blame the migraine drugs for rendering me helpless against bad TV.
Cece - Just you wait - someone else will admit to watching it…as to what I learned - well, especially from BB, his IC with the guilt over his parents death had my newest hero written all over it. And MDB, well, I just loved the set-up, with the boxing as life metaphor thing…(I can justify anything, can’t I)

I’ve sworn this year not to watch AI until it gets to the top 12. I love the singing. LOVE good singing. I don’t enjoy the snark so much. It’s gotten old really fast for me!

I admit…once it gets to Hollywood I’ll probably start watching. I’ve watched it the last two years…:oops:

Oh Jill - don’t give me any more reality TV to watch.
Alison - this is only the 2nd season I watched, so I never knew just how bad some of those people could really be.
Sasha - I don’t know why I lose interest when the good singers come on. I really did like that INXS show over the summer, and those singers were wonderful from the start. Maybe I’ll force myself to watch this year.

I was watching Criminal Minds and CSI NY. We are talking Wednesday, right?:frazzled:
January 20th, 2006 at 11:35 pm
*waves to Jordan* Yep - Wednesday! I never got into CSI, which is weird, b/c I love Law & Order and all the spin offs. And I don’t think I’ve heard of criminal minds - I might have to check that out…
Because I’m not watching Skating with the Stars next week - I swear it!
