Sunset in the MDR


Busted out the camera the other night...beautiful sunset.
More views from my "backyard"

MusiCares Hurricane Relief

Since I'm a big fan of the Big Easy, I've been wanting to make a donation to charity to help out the area for sometime. Well I finally did it today and I was happy to find a charity that will specifically help the part of New Orleans that affected me the most...the city's musicians. Apparently MusiCares is a charity that focuses on helping musicians...in this case they are helping "music people impacted by Hurricane Katrina. Assistance includes basic living expenses such as shelter, food, utilities, transportation; medical expenses; clothing; instrument and recording equipment replacement; relocation costs; school supplies for students; insurance payments and more."

4,8,15,16,23,42


Some thoughts from last night's episode of LOST
(from the boards at www.lost-tv.com and my theorizing with Pam and Becky)

  • Those cursed #'s (4,8,15,16,23,42) are everywhere!!
    • On the bottle that the hatch guy injected himself with:
      "cr-4-8 15 16-23 42 FOR INJECTION _____ MULTIPLE DOSE"
    • Hatch guy was going 16 mph on his bike
    • Pronounced a car accident patient dead at 8:15
    • jack's tattoo
    • the number 108 on the mural inside the hatch
      (if you add all the number 4,8,15,16,23,42 they add to 108)
  • The curing of paralysis:
    • Locke's paralysis was cured after they crashed onto the island
    • Jack's patient/future wife was "cured" right after the scottish runner (aka Hatch guy) brought it up at the stadium
    • Hatch guy also said he was "almost a doctor"
  • Quarantine?
    • The QUARATINE sign was on the inside of the hatch with no lever or handle on the outside...as if the hatch guy is protecting himself from those on the outside.
    • Quarantine also(and originally) means... "a period of 40 days" and it has been 40 days since they arrived on the island.
    • He injected himself with something in the morning.
  • What did Walt say?
    • When you play his appearance backwards, he says: "Where's the button...the button's bad."
    • As in the EXECUTE button on the computer in the hatch that Jack almost pushed until Locke told him it wasn't a good idea.
  • Is Desomnd (Hatch guy) alone?
    (from www.lost-tv.com board - thanks Dantes)
    • A.) Desmond sleeps on a bunk - the top one to be exact. Both bunks have a collection of personal items at the back base; the bottom bunk under Desmond looks as if it was freshly used, it's not made, it's rather messy, and there's a collection of books/items distinct from those Desmond has.
    • B.) After using the computer and turning on the music, Desmond cleans up from the table the half-finished breakfast of either himself from the day before, or someone else. He cleans up a glass of what looks like orange juice, a bowl of cereal, and some other food on a plate. He then goes on to make his own meal.
This show ROCKS! Pretty damn enthralling. Reminds me of the days of watching Twin Peaks with my sister and trying to figure out all the random hints. In that case, the hints barely meant anything (other than DAVID LYNCH IS CRAZY). I think the creators of Lost have this all perfectly plotted out though. At least I hope they do.

New Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Trailer [Moviefone]

Moviefone: 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' Movie Exclusive Extra-Large Trailer

Oooh...look what I found. Lots of new scenes that weren't in the other trailer. Looking good! In the past 2 months (?) I've read Books 4, 5, and 6...now I'm almost through books 1, 2 and 3. I guess I'm following the Star Wars method of how to read a story.




Other trailers for movies that look good:

Interesting TV show on PBS (via BBC): SPY



Stumbled upon ths interesting show on KCET (the Los Angeles PBS affiliate) tonight. 8 Londoners attend "Spy School" to learn the skills of the trade and are then given tasks (like infiltrating a business and obtaining a photograph of a document without being caught). I was quite enthralled...
