A fine line between Comedy and Blasphemy

I am excited for the fall programming. Scrubs starts tonight, The Amazing Race starts in 2 weeks and LOST is on Oct 4th. I love the DVR. I can watch shows I used to not be home for. Interesting side note on Scrubs. I just found out that Sarah Chalke, who plays Elliot on the show, was “Becky” on Roseanne. I know she looked familiar, and I have been watching the show for a couple years now but just found that out.

I went and saw Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby last night with a couple co-workers. It was hilarious. Being a NASCAR fan made it even better. I think I got a few more of the jokes compared to the average viewer. There was one downfall. Not with the movies, but with the kids behind me. Someone decided to bring four 8 year-olds who insisted on talking through most of the movie. Even the guardian was being loud. I just don’t get people sometimes. It was definitely not made for kids that young.

I had that overwhelming feeling of joy again the other day. I realized how much I enjoy going to work and the people I work with. Yes, it has it’s tough moments, but I get to grow and learn from them every day. It has helped other relationships also. I really like helping people and solving problems, and I get to do that every day. Also I work with people that have a great warped sense of humor.

I got a new photo workflow program and it is great for making adjustments to my pictures.
Here is a before and after:

I love it after Labor day. Things seem to rejuvenate. The new shows are on, Hockey starts on October 4th. Their first game is versus the Ducks in Anaheim. Looks like I need to get that day off work (KINGS RULE!) A little Football. (GO Seahawks!) and the NASCAR Chase for the Cup. Plus it gets cooler, and I can break out the sweaters and jackets soon. (Yes I know, it doesn’t get THAT cold in Southern California, but its relative.)

Rad episode. I love when some of the answers create new questions, it makes the story progress. I just hope it doesn’t get so too spread out that they can’t wrap it up when she series does end. . I would love to see the organizational chart for the story lines. I was right that the magnetic force had something to do with the plane crash. I may have been off about them drugging themselves, but I do think they are all still part of a psychological experiment. All of them have some sort of weird trauma in their life and some connection to Hanso or Widmore. I wonder if now that Desmond “terminated” the magnetic source, I wonder if people’s ailments will come back. (Rose’s cancer, Locke unable to walk if he is still alive)
I think Penny Widmore knew that her dad had something to with Desmonds disappearance. Like she said, she has lots of money, and knew what to look for.

The Ducks are on fire. It looks as if my early predictions may be completely off. Ottawa and Edmonton are not looking good. At least Edmonton has won at least one game. It could be a all California Conference final. That would be interesting and probably a lot of people traveling the 5 to go to games in both cities. No matter what happens, I love the Stanley cup playoffs. There is nothing like it. Many good memories of where the series could change at any second.

On to LOST. Amazing shit last night. I think Michael is being blackmailed. It sucks for Hurley. Had me crying when he was saying “Why did I have to forget the blankets” I really like Eko and Locke. they are a great compliment for each other. The big experiment is getting more and more intriguing. It is almost as if they are caught in a time warp and also experiments themselves. All of the passengers seem to have some sort of trauma that would bring them together. Station “Pearl” is intriguing, although I would have done more exploring, and I am sure we will see more connections and maybe a way to the real “?”. I need to rewatch it again and look at some things a bit closer. Like the readout and the “Orientation Video” Same guy, different name. Such a retro-future feeling all around Dharma. I just can’t shake the time-warp lab rat feeling I get about the story line. I love the journey of figuring it out and others theories. I do think it is neat that the directors also only know half of the storylines as to not give it all away. I have been listening to “The Official Lost Podcast” and it is fun how they try to bribe each other with background that has not been revealed. A great show.
I do love the tie-ins with www.thehansofoundation.org and other sites with the storyline. If you read “About the MHA” under “Mental Health Appeal” section of the “Active Projects” it confirms a lot of my theory of why they are there and how they are part of an experiment. More puzzles to confuse and figure out. It will also be a way they can keep interest over the summer until next season.

As for the Amazing race, I am so glad that MOJO are gone and very happy for “the Hippies” It will be a tough finish. All teams have a good chance. While not the strongest all around, the Hippies are my faves and I think they will surprise the others.
