I love Wade!!!



Sabra and Dominic: These two have really grown on me throughout the competition. They have great chemistry and can dance. I loved there routine last night. Dominic being a B-boy and not having any formal training like Sabra he sure does a great job.

Jaimie and Hok: I loved this routine also. I think the judges were to harsh on Hok. I think he did a great job portraying Bojangles. When Nigel was criticizing him about not doing anything to wow him I was thinking he’s supposed to be an old man. What more did they want? I think it would be a shame if Hok wasn’t part of the tour.

Sara and Pasha: I love this couple too. Even though they haven’t been partners since the beginning they did a good job working together. I just love Pasha. He’s sexy and I love to watch him move around the dance floor.

Neil and Lauren: This is one of the two couples I have not connected with at all. They’re a cute couple and they can dance but they aren’t my favorite. Although I really liked the Mia Michaels choreography. Why do we always needs a story or characters to make the dance good? I enjoyed it but I did notice they weren’t together all the time. Which made the dance a little distracting to me.

Anya and Danny: I can’t stand this couple of some reason. The foxtrot is not one of my favorite dances and I found myself not interested at all. The judges praised these two but I didn’t get it. And maybe it was a combination of not liking the dance and the couple. I thought it was very boring compared to the other routines.

Lacey and Kameron: I enjoyed the routine and thought they did a really good job. Once Wade said that Kameron dances a little heavy I was thinking what. But when it recapped all the dances at the end I did notice what he was saying. Although I still love this couple and I hope they aren’t part of the bottom three.

Here’s who I like and in what order (last night’s routines)
Sabra and Dominic
Sara and Pasha
Lacey and Kameron
Jaimie and Hok
Neil and Lauren
Anya and Danny

I enjoyed seeing Travis back and helping out.

Also, I read this comment on TVGuide earlier today and I had to share it with you. I agree 100% although I’ve been smitten over him since his TV show on MTV called the Wade Robson Project

So not only is Wade young, tall, gorgeous, and an awesome choreographer and dancer, but he can also speak coherently and intelligently! I am officially smitten.

I LOVE THIS PLACE...




We spent many weekends here and I loved every minute of it. The Palm Pavilion was an awesome spot to eat, drink and get a little sun. We've taken a lot of people to this little spot. Remember when J.D., Michael and a few others came to visit; this is where we took them. My dad has been to this same spot with me before. And this picture was taken when April and her boyfriend came down to visit. I was so excited that live music was being played, the beer was cold and the appetizers were appetizing. This was also a great place to lay out and still enjoy the live music coming from the Palm Pavilion. We also had access to all the cool surf shops on this side of the beach. I will miss this place dearly. I would love at some point in the near future to take a vacation and stay in the Palm Pavilion hotel and reminisce all the good times we had.

I LOVE MUSIC

Wow! What a night...




I really enjoyed the show last night. I thought all the dancers looked good and did a very good job. I normally don’t vote this early in the competition but last night would have been hard to pick out the best dancers.

Pasha/Sara I loved this routine. Benji did a great job choreographing that one. Benji threw in some of his playfulness and attitude. I would have loved to see him and Heidi do that one together.

Kameron/Lacey are still my favorite. They did a great job last night being the first couple to dance. I think Kameron is doing a great job and I don’t understand why the judges are always criticizing him.

Dominic/Sabra are a hot couple. I really liked this Shane Sparks routine. He was able to show us another side of hip-hop and I totally dug it.

Lauren/Neil aren’t my favorite but how could you not like the Wade Robson routine. Wade blows my mind and I totally get his style and I love the characters he comes up with. Lauren and Neil did a great job I thought.

Hok/Jaimie I think have a little crush on each other. I really like Hok but he looks a little weird doing ballroom. I still think he did a great job and pulled it off but for some reason I think he looks a weird doing it.

Anya/Danny I love their routine too. It was very dramatic and I loved it. I think Adam was right when he said that Danny is a little arrogant. He is in my opinion. He dances and acts like he’s won the competition already. I still enjoyed watching him and Anya dance.

Cedric & Shauna I think it’s the end of the road for these two. I really hope they end up in the bottom three and they both get sent home. They did do a good job last night but everyone did and I think they should go.

I hope nothing big happens tonight because I am going to the Lawrence County fair to watch Kellie Pickler. I will have to wait till I get to work tomorrow to check and see how gets voted off.

Definition of a Friend

A friend should be radical;
they should love you when you're unlovable,

Hug you when you're unhuggable,
and bear you when you're unbearable.

A friend should be fanatical;
they should cheer when the whole world boos,

Dance when you get good news,
and cry when you cry, too.

But most of all -
a friend should be mathematical.
They should multiply the joy,
divide the sorrow,
subtract the past,
and add tomorrow,
calculate the need deep in your heart,
and always be bigger than
the sum of all their parts.

Marissa Dies! Chrismukkah Lives! The O.C.'s Greatest Moments




After four seasons and countless fistfights, the Newport group is hanging it up with a finale that executive producer Josh Schwartz promises will "offer real closure." So what better way to say goodbye to The O.C. (Thursdays at 9 pm/ET) than a look back at the Fox serial's best moments?

1. "Welcome to the O.C., Bitch!" — "Premiere," 8/5/03
Luke's bon mot to new punching bag in town Ryan (Benjamin McKenzie) quickly became the signature line of the series. Says Schwartz, "Kids from Orange County say they're from ‘the O.C.' like it's ‘the Ukraine.' I always found it funny so I gave Luke that line."

2. Marissa Dies — "The Graduates," 5/18/06
Marissa (Mischa Barton) died in Ryan's arms after being run off the road by her bad-boy ex Volchok in Season 3's shocking finale. De­spite what the rumor mill would have you think, Schwartz contends that the tragedy was not dictated by anyone's off-set antics: "Losing Marissa — and Mischa — was a big loss for the show."

3. Julie's Affair with Luke — "The Telenovela," 2/25/04
Jaws dropped — and temperatures soared — when Julie (Melinda Clarke) bedded her teenage daughter's ex-beau (Chris Carmack) while also romancing her best friend's father, Caleb. Talk about multitasking.

4. Chrismukkah Is Born — "The Best Chrismukkah Ever," 12/3/03
Seth's Festivus-like mixed-faith holiday was almost called something else. "A lot of names were tossed around," recalls Schwartz. "Han-umas being one of them." Oy to the world!

5. Marissa Goes Lesbian — "The Lonely Hearts Club," 2/10/05
Coop's sapphic fling with Bait Shop babe Alex (Olivia Wilde) was too hot to handle — at least by Fox standards. "It was post-Janet Jackson/Super Bowl FCC time," Schwartz says. "And we were forced to end the story line much sooner."

6. Seth and Summer's Spider-Man Kiss — "Rainy Day Women," 2/24/05
Ever the pop-culture avatar, The O.C. scored with this cinematic nod to beauties and their comic book-fan boy toys everywhere. "After the epi­sode aired, we got calls from then-Marvel head Avi Arad and Spider-Man director Sam Raimi saying how much they loved it," Schwartz says.

7. Marissa ODs in Tijuana — "The Escape," 9/16/03
The kids' ill-fated run for the border stands as one of Schwartz's favorite eps. "It sums up what I think the show was capable of: feeling real, heightened, funny and, at times, operatically tragic," he says.

8. Oliver Goes Nuts — "The Links," 1/14/04
Although Schwartz calls Marissa's friendship with the unhinged interloper (played by Taylor Handley) "the single most passionately hated story line," he gives the kid props for being creatively crazy. "C'mon, people! He broke a plate, then punched himself in the head — twice!"

9. Sandy Serenades Kirsten on Their 20th Anniversary — "The Power of Love," 1/13/05
Solomon Burke's "Don't Give Up on Me" never sounded so sweet. "It embodies their crazy love for each other," remembers Schwartz. Plus, "after Peter Gallagher serenaded Kelly Rowan, he got a record deal out of it."

10. Cage-fighting Ryan Falls for Taylor Townsend — "The Sleeping Beauty," 11/30/06
"Like a lot of people, I originally thought it was an odd pairing," Autumn Reeser reveals of the romance that juiced the lighter, quirkier final season. It also — finally! — gave Ryan (the best thing to happen to muscle tees since Marlon Brando) a reason to smile. And that's the happiest ending we could ask for.

"Scary Clowns and Shaky Ground"




I think Taylor was a little pushy tonight. Why did she have to pressure Ryan to say something he may not be ready to say, and then try and get him drunk so he would say it. When he finally told her it seemed natural. And his back up birthday gift - a dictionary. I cracked up when he said “The guy said it had more words than others. Too funny.

I wonder if that dictionary had a listing for clown porn. Before this episode I never heard those two words used together. Clowns are scary enough, but naked clowns?

Kaitlin was really giving Frank a hard time questioning him about prison showers and such. But she did make a turn around saying she fears being abandoned by another father figure, and not having time to bond with her mom.

Let’s not forget about the comment Ryan made to her about being her sister in a non creepy way. LOL

Poor Kirsten having to worry about raising another child around the next generation of Newpsies. They made up a group called the six-pack pact In my opinion they were as scary as the clowns. And Jason’s self-absorbed young wife. Run Kirsten, run far, far way from this crew.

The earthquake had me on the edge of my seat! Everyone was in possible danger. I’m looking forward to next week…even though I realize that sadly means we’re down to the final two weeks of life in The O.C.

Here’s to hoping the last two weeks are unforgettable.

"Pictures of You"




Great Episode! I would have loved to take a class like that in high school; I would’ve signed up every year.

I loved the stories each person told, the impressions of celebrities, the secrets and also the photos at the end.

Mouth got a prom date. Go Mouth!!! I was really excited that he was paired with Shelley. I knew they both had a crush on each other and they’ve both been looking for love. I’m glad they finally found it. They make such a cute couple.

Bevin popped one on Rachel and proved she’s not as dumb as everybody thinks. The storyline there was a bit boring at times since Rachel was too busy smoking a dobie while Bevin tried to take the assignment seriously. But in the end I enjoyed Bevin giving Rachel a piece of her mind.

Nathan and Peyton took a stroll down memory lane. No hard feelings just a strong friendship. I do agree with Peyton, Nathan needs to put him first sometimes. And the answer he gave Peyton. Saying “if everyone else’s dreams come true then I know I will be fine”. So sweet, I’ve really grown to love this character.

I thought it was really nice of Peyton to give Brooke Chase’s name. Brooke really seemed as thought she appreciated it too. I couldn’t believe the teacher just blurted out that Brooke was failing calculus. That was wrong and I felt really bad for Brooke at that point With that said she was able to tell Chase the truth and it mattered because he was still into her.

Lucas and Glenda bonded, which was cool. I loved how he went over to the car and gave her his novel. The mother seemed really surprised and it made Glenda’s whole year. And Lucas saying “hi Mrs. Farrell” was priceless.

And last but never least, Skillz and Haley. These two are without a doubt the nicest people in Tree Hill. I really like the chemistry between the two. Haley was so proud of Skillz for getting a scholarship. She tricked us all by telling him he would have to go to the factory only to tell his dad he received a full scholarship to college. I think she’s going to make a wonderful mother.

Next week: the sex tape…..what do you think….Payton, Brooke or Haley’s sister?

My guess is Payton. The look on everyone’s face and it could mess up two relationships at one time.

" A Case of the Franks"



I loved last night’s episode. In my opinion it was the best episode all season. Did I mention I loved this episode - from the flashbacks, to Kaitlin, Ryan & Taylor competing over whom gets Julie for Valentine’s Day, to Summer trying to figure out if Seth is her Sandy Cohen and etc. I could go on and on…

So were you rooting for Team Bullit or Team Frank? I was rooting for Team Frank. And not because it was Ryan’s dad and Marissa’s mom but because it was a nice change for Julie. She wanted to be with him because they had a connection and not because he had a ton of money. Plus Bullit was so annoying and once Taylor started asking Julie questions like - he will be the one you wake up to every morning and you will be able to explore his body and etc. You could tell Julie was getting sick just hearing it and she was only considering Bullit because of Kaitlin. I was so happy that after telling Frank no, she had to look out for the only daughter she had left, she finally came back. Kaitlin could see it on her mother’s face she wasn’t happy about telling Frank no. Go Team Frank!

The flashbacks were awesome. I had no idea Kirsten was pregnant with Jimmy’s baby. She decided to abort it and go to a separate college. Thank goodness she did, because she met Sandy Cohen. And what a great couple Sandy and Kirsten make. They are so opposite but it doesn’t matter they connect and it works for them. I’m happy she finally told Sandy the truth, it was eating her up inside.

Now on to the Seth and Summer flashback. Summer didn’t write the mermaid poem, it was Taylor. I didn’t see that one coming. She offered to let her come to her birthday party if she gave up her poem. And Taylor happily did so just to be invited to Summer’s party. I loved the collage of couples Summer had put together and then she told Seth she was hoping they could one day put their picture in the middle. So sweet.

I’m happy to see Taylor now with friends and a boyfriend. She’s grown into a beautiful lady despite all the rejection she was shown as a kid and who could forget her evil mom.

Oh yeah, I can’t forget about Taylor and Kaitlin fighting over who Julie will be with. Kaitlin cracked me up when she said you’re going down bitch. Right when Kaitlin thought she won Ryan and Taylor tricked her and her mother was in the wrong limousine. I didn’t see that one coming either.

Also a few things to mention that I didn’t catch last night…..While reading the blog on TV guide Jennifer mentioned two things that didn’t cross my mind. I was just wondering if you picked up on them.

1st was that she remembered Kirsten telling Theresa about the abortion but didn’t know it was Jimmy’s baby.

2nd was Marissa’s name was never mention in the 5th grade class flashbacks. They mentioned Luke & Taylor but not Marissa.

UP

Lovers of the English language might enjoy this.....How do non-natives ever learn all the nuances of English???

There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is "UP."

It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?

At a meeting, why does a topic come UP ? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?

We call UP our friends and we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car.

At other times the little word has a real special meaning. People stir up trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.

To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special. And this up is confusing:

A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.

We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!

To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP , look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions

If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.

When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets UP the earth.

When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP

One could go on & on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so ....

Time to shut UP.....!

Oh...one more thing!
What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night?

Cops Want Prison Breaker Hit with Manslaughter


Police investigators have asked Los Angeles County prosecutors to charge Prison Break alum Lane Garrison with felony gross vehicular manslaughter, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, for his involvement in the Dec. 2 car crash that left a 17-year-old high-school student dead. (According to the AP, Garrison had a blood-alcohol level of 0.20 percent, and had cocaine in his system at the time of the accident.)

If charged and convicted of gross vehicular manslaughter, Garrison, 26, could face up to 10 years in a real prison.
