"Dancing With The Stars"

I don't watch this show but as it often goes over into the
next time slot I have seen the endings many times.

My comment is where are the stars?

Surely the title does not refer to an ex Carlton footy
player a minor singer only known in Australia and a
morning T.V. presenter? They are NOT famous perhaps well
known by some and as for the other dancers I have never
heard of them and wouldn't know them if I fell over them.

But I guess theat no-one would watch this rubbish if they
called it "Dancing With Mediocre Personalities."

"What's Your Number?"

A light funny romanic comedy that is not pretending to be anything else.

But when I saw one of the minor characters, 'Daisy Darling' played by
Ari Graynor I instantly thought it is Bette Midler, but then realised
that was impossable as Miss M is my age and this actress was in her
late 20's. So naturally I thought it must be her daughter.

I looked up the name on the web and it said that she was born in
April, 1983 (29) in Boston and was raised by a Jewish family. That
implies she was adopted.

Further enquires led me to a site called 'Cha Cha' where someone back in
January asked the same question. The answer was NO yhey are not related.

You can't tell me that this woman is not related, it was like two peas
in a pod. If you put a picture of the Divine Miss M at the same age,
up against a picture of Ari you would see what I mean.

Has anyone else seen this movie and thought the same thing?

"In Time"

Not even a new idea! this must be one of the worse movies as
far as errors goes.

"The Butterfly Effect"

Kirsten and I have been watching "Two and a Half Men" with
Aston K as a new charcter. I explained to Kirsten that he
used to be in a show called "That 70's Show" and he played
the same sort of charcter a boy-man who seems to be all fun
and games and even a little dim.

Then low and behold a couple of weeks ago I saw an ad on T.V.
for a screening of "The Butterfly Effect" so I recorded it
and watched it with Kirsten but I told her she had to be
perpared for a sad ending.

Well iminage my surprise when I see the ending which comprised
him telling his 'childhood little girfriend' when he first meets
her to fuck off,or he would kill her and her whole family. Then
skips ahead ten years to show them passing in the street, he of
cousre recognises her, as he often saw her as an adult, after he
passes he turns and looks at her then turna away and keeps
walking!!! THE END.

I watched it when it first came out on video, and the ending I
remember is he decides tha teveryone would have been better off
if he had never been born so he travels back into his mother's
womb and strangles himself with the birth cord! THE END.

So I looked it up on the web and there are 4 endings, 1.Theatrical
ending 2. Happy Ending. 3. Open End Ending. 4. Director's Ending.

I will have to ask Meg can I view the endings on her computer as
she has gig download than I have. As I'd like to know which are
the endings I have seen.

Friday 13th Strikes Again.

Went shopping with Kath at Coles, George St Morwell.
A young man named Nick served us. At the car I
noticed that Kath who had only spend $125 had received
a 12 cents petrol discount coupon whereas I who had
spent $170 had only received a 4 cent petrol discount
coupon so I went back to query it. The girl said
Kath used a master card to pay and I told the girl
we both used our fly buys with our triple points
coupons and I paid for both lots of groceries with
my credit card. So we couldn't figure out why the
difference, so she issued me with a 12 cent coupon.

When I was going through my purse on Saturday to
clean it up and put my cards in their proper places
I found that the triple Fly Buy coupon had been
handed back to me with my credit card and fly buy
card, so I reckon that the young man did not swipe
it and that was why I did not get the 12 cent coupon
and thus have also missed out on over 200 Fly Buy
points!!!

Just before Easter I walked into the laundry to find
water all over the laundry floor. I was washing but
the water was not coming from the machine but from
under the door where the hot water service is. Called
the plummer and he said that there was a split in the
service and it needed replacing. I got the service in
November 1993 18 1/2 years old. The plummer said that
they usually last 10-12 years so I did well.

It is illegal to have them indoors now so it had to
go out in the pergola area. The next day I went to
use it only to find the water was cold, it seems the
pliot light went out. Now he did say that could happen
as it is 'an energy saving unit' and the pliot light
is turnd down very low. But it continues to happen
every time we use the unit!!!

So the second thing to go wrong today, the hot water
service went out AGAIN!!!

Third thing the washing machine stopped washing!

Truly a wonderous day!!!

Donald Turns 38!

Whet around to Donald's house at about 7 p.m. to wish him
happy birthday on Friday 6th April, and it turned out that
he had gone to Lisa's family for tea as they were celebrating
Lisa's mum's birthday which was on Sunday 8th April.

There was no point in ringing him as he had left his mobile
phone at home on the mantle!

He complained NO ONE had rung him for his birthday, when
in actual fact he had quite a number of missed calls on the
phone! Typical male!!!

Fouth Anniversary

April 2nd was the fourth year since Don Snr died from
cardic failure, due to lung cancer.

The children had intended to go for a quiet drink to
celebrate their father's life, but Kath made the
mistake of reminding Nathan about the date, and
suddenly he can no longer mind the kids on that day,
but needs Kath to look after them.

Meg and Mick came up with a couple of drinks to
Donald's house, but they really couldn't talk about
what they wanted to with Kath's kids there.

Just another mark against Nathan.

April 1st, I Ain't Anyone's Fool.

Went off very quietly. No-one played any jokes on me
and I was the one who got in first with Kirsten and Cliff
with "a pinch and a puinch for the first of the month".

On-one came back at me with "a hit and kick for being so
quick."
