Mood:  cool

(Opening Launchcast music break: "Beauty and the Beast" Human Again) Oh, it felt so good for a while, too. Like I said last time, you have those New England "fans" blowing your buzz, but screw them, and they deserve EVERYTHING they're about to get hit with. That goes for the entire organization, because Congress might be getting involved soon.  I wonder if it is possible to like the NFL as a sport, but detest it as an organization. I'm sorry, but they'll fine a player $5K for wearing different SOCKS as the rest of their team, but if an organization cheats, it's perfectly fine. That's sofa king we todd did! (Launchcast music break: Backstreet Boys Back to Your Heart; this is probably their best song, well, it's my favorite of theirs, anyway)

(Launchcast music break: Count Basie You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You) The Pro Bowl was all right, one last gasp of football before you get cut off completely until August. My Snookie was great! He went 5/9, 42 yards, 1 TD (to TJ Humpsallama! ; watching a celebration amongst a Steeler, a Brown, and a Bungle was WEIRD), with a quarterback rating of 104.8, and was the AFC's leading rusher with 18 yards . Although he was second string, he played the least due to a sore groin , because Derek Anderson played the entire second half, and sucked. The NFC won 42-30. All I have to say is that Adrian Peterson is a BEAST!!! Hopefully he doesn't get hit with a sophomore slump. (Launchcast music break: "The Music Man" Ya Got Trouble; this is the Broadway Cast Revival version, Craig Bierko sounds so similar to Robert Preston in certain parts, it's kind of strange, but he holds his own, because Robert Preston IS Harold Hill; Matthew Broderick, not so much)

(Launchcast music break: "And the World Goes 'Round" The Grass is Always Greener; LOVE this song, "You can have my husband." "I already had your husband." LOL!) Daytona; what can I say about the Daytona 500? Smoke was SO CLOSE! He was leading the last lap, when he got passed by Ryan Newman who was getting bump-drafted by Kurt Busch. So, Tony went low hoping that his new teammate Kyle (brother to the aforementioned Kurt) would give him a little help, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. So, once again, victory was snatched from the hands of Tony Stewart at the Great American Race, but he won the Nationwide (what used to be Busch) Series race the day before. On a positive note, the Toyotas ran very well, it was pleasantly surprising. I hope this foreshadows of things to come. (Launchcast music break: "A Chorus Line" What I Did For Love)

(Launchcast music break: Dream This Is Me; strangely enough, this is one song NOT on YouTube) Lost (bestshowever) is too freaking much! The episode focusing on Sayid was AWESOME! The twist at the end, didn't see it coming. Once again, my mouth was open at the end of it. I had guessed Jack's dad, Christian, would be at the vet's office. The only negative about the episode, just a slight, minuscule annoyance, was that in the flash-forward, Sayid had his hair blown out and feathered, instead of curly. I wasn't a fan of that, but still, he is so hot. This past episode that featured Kate's flash-forward was whatever. I can't believe how much Sawyer is still hot over her, but he called her out in the end, when she got upset because he was relieved she said she wasn't pregnant (I believe that was a test, and he failed, miserably); he said that she would be back in a week when she's angry with Jack about something. Kate then slapped Sawyer, only because she knew he was right. She doesn't deserve him or Jack. (Launchcast music break: "Fiddler on the Roof" If I Were a Rich Man) The ending wasn't bad, I was shocked, but I wasn't. Like I had a feeling that she took Aaron, but I didn't want it to be right. Of course, conspiracy theorists claim that it's Sawyer's baby and she just happened to name him Aaron. I sort of hope so, I hope Claire doesn't die. Unless Claire gives Aaron to Kate just to get him the hell off the island, but I seriously doubt she would do that. The way Jack was acting about visiting Kate and the baby, I wonder if he didn't want to see Aaron because it would remind that they left people on the island, or that he found out that Aaron is his nephew and can't face him because he reminds him of Claire, which kind of ties into the "left the rest on the island" thing, except Claire could be dead, which would suck.

(Launchcast music break: "Bells are Ringing" Just In Time) The writers' strike is over! I'm pleased, but not ecstatic, because once again, Lost is on the short end of the stick. When they bring Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy back in April, Lost will get bumped back to 10:00, but that's how they lost viewers because of the late showings. The thing is, I don't even know how to work it out; even if they moved Grey's Anatomy, Lost would then go up against CSI, and that's a heavy ratings magnet. Lost couldn't go back to Wednesday's at 9:00, because it would get slaughtered by the crap-fest known as American Idol. Still, I am excited for Ugly Betty to come back, I haven't really heard anything about the other shows on my schedule: Law & Order: SVU, Dirty Sexy Money, Big Shots, and Women's Murder Club. I don't have a good feeling about Big Shots, but I liked it. Well, I do know that the animated shows won't be back until like September because they take longer to produce, but they usually don't come back with new episodes until like November because of football (oh, I miss it so). (Launchcast music break: Harry Connick, Jr. For Once In My Life)

(Launchcast music break: "Oliver" I'd Do Anything) Monk and Psych are also done for the year, but the strike didn't really affect their shows this season. They always start in the summer, run for like 8 weeks, have a holiday special, then return in January. Both of those shows season finales were awesome, especially Psych's. The cliffhanger you could see from miles away, though. I just hope they cast the part well, but they usually do. The only problem I had with Monk's finale was that they didn't get Tim Curry to reprise the role of Dale the Whale. Of course, I learned that the role had been played Adam Arkin originally in an episode I have yet to see, but this third guy was bad. Well, not the acting, but the make-up, it was a different color than his face. Like his face was pale, but the prosthetic fat face make-up was kind of red. But I'm a bit of a fan of Tim Curry and would have loved to see him back on Monk. I also wouldn't mind Eddie Izzard to pop up on either show, but we'll see. I don't even know if they'll push The Riches' return up because the strike is over. I have heard that Minnie Driver is pregnant; I wonder if they'll write it in the show.

(Launchcast music break: Uncle Sam I Don't Ever Want To See You Again) By the by, I got two goldfish two weeks ago, one of them died last Sunday, but the living one's name is Snookie. The other one's name was Snoopy. I took pictures of them with my phone, so the quality isn't the best. I didn't do the naming alliteration on purpose. I just named the lighter one Snookie after, well, my Snookie. It took me ages to name Snoopy, I named it that because of the song Suppertime in "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown", because Snoopy (fish) was always hanging out at the top of the bowl waiting to eat. But Snoopy did really weird things, like he lined the entire inside of the bowl with bubbles one night. When I woke up to feed them, the edge of the water was all one continuous circle of bubbles. Maybe he wasn't right in the head from the get go. I still think Snookie murdered Snoopy, or at least caused Snoopy to commit suicide. I'm sorry that I named a psycho fish after my boo. Snookie is crazy and neurotic. Once second, he'll be swimming along, serenely, the next, he's freaking out for no apparent reason. But he does seem to be happier to have the bowl all to himself. I say "him", I have no idea what gender either fish was, so I was looking to name them silly names, which I achieved. (Launchcast music break: Snow Patrol Chasing Cars; I still love this song)

(Launchcast music break: Matchbox Twenty If Your Gone) This is Snookie, and my fingers on the left of the photo. It was hard to get a picture of his neurotic ass, he doesn't keep still for a second.

(Launchcast music break: "Annie" Hard Knock Life) What did I say? Snoopy was always hanging out at the surface trying to eat, or making bubbles. Another way I could tell them apart was that Snoopy's top lip was black for some reason. RIP Snoopy.

(Launchcast music break: Doris Day Shakin' the Blues Away) That's them together, Snookie (left) and Snoopy. I know, it's sad I'm putting photos of my fish, but it also gave me a chance to actually use my camera phone. I was reading reviews of the phone, it said that the pictures weren't bad on the computer, because they look like crap on the screen of the phone.

Well, I've got to wind this up, but there was one thing I have to say...

(Launchcast music break: SWV You're the One for Me; SO appropriate- "So, what's my chance? I'm willing to do anything to get in your pants.") There is no emoticon for what I want to do to Ben Roethlisberger. Even if there was, it would be highly inappropriate.

I miss you, Snookie (not the fish)!!! Stay the hell out of trouble! Luv ya!

I'm phasing.
