Glee

I think I saw a couple of previews, and thought that I would want to watch it. Then I saw that it already premiered. Then I went to see if the episode was available to watch. This is what I found. I want to watch the episode.

Later, I found this:

Somewhere over the rainbow...again

First, I was singing this song randomly one day. Then I think I heard it on the radio and posted the lyrics. Then today at Comic Con, the Lost Panel plays a version of a Hawaiian I believe. Many things going on there. First, I thought the Lost panel was just a panel with little insight, basically true, but on further inspection from the Lost Podcast I went to, and now with this song, there were many little and possibly big things, you just had to be thinking that way.

I just want to discuss the song. I have read how some have analyzed how there are many themes similar to the Wizard of Oz and Lost. I am not going to try and even discuss them all, I couldn't if I try, but I couldn't help but think of how this song is of the most recognized in the Wizard of Oz. But the Lost panel didn't just play Dorothy or Judy Garland's version, they played one apparently by Israel, who was Hawaiian! Not only was this very sneaky, played at the end, but it was a way to kind of say "thank you" to Hawaii-where Lost is shot, AND a way as a throw to some of the themes seen in Lost from the Wizard of Oz. Clever, very clever, I wonder if anyone else got that? It worked too because there was a very moving montage before. Once this song came on, I wanted to cry, but didn't. The montage was beautiful, the special guest who came at the end, Dominic aka Charlie, and that this is the final year, and that the producers say this is their last Comic Con was a little emotional.

My other question is, why is this song keep coming up for me. As we were driving our way home, there was a billboard that said something about where rainbows are found. Maybe it means nothing. But I can't help but wonder if it means something more?

Flashback: Ghostwriter!

When I was younger, :) I LOVED Ghostwriter. Although it was cheesy at times, I realized that even then, I still liked the friendships formed, mysteries, and of course, Ghostwriter. I don't know what made me think of this again-maybe the Ghostwriter vhs I still have downstairs, but I thought this is something to share, and remember. I wish I had the energy, or felt like doing a mini scrap journal entry of it, but I think this is just as good-for now.

Charlie Brown CD

Here is one of my favorite actors, from one of my favorite shows at the Paley Center in Beverly Hills, responding apparently to a question of his best/memorable gift. It's extra special to me too, because it's one of those things that makes me happy.

10 Essentials I am Blessed to Have

The next few days I am going to post some lists of different things about me. I saw this on another blog, who saw it on one of the bios of one of the teachers. It seems like there are several bios, of not all that have the lists that I will TRY to do for the next several days.

Here is the first one: 10 Essentials that I am Blessed to Have-with everything occurring right now, I was thinking of NOT posting this, instead I will say these are "things" that I am blessed to have...in no particular order they are:

1. Sprite-this is on the original list I have. However, I just had my first Sprite, I believe, Sierra Mist before that, from not having it for about 50-60 days. So, although I LOVE Sprite still, I have been without it. So I'll put cell phone as a "replacement" for this one.
2. Television
3. Internet
4. Jamba Juice-Carribean Passion with Immunity Boost is my FAVORITE
5. Magazines-US Weekly, Woman's World, Scrapping magazines, Sunset
6. Zig Black Memory Pen-used for scrapbooking
7. Scratch paper-for my to do lists, ideas, quotes, etc.
8. CNN-I never thought I would be so tuned in, mostly due to the election this year, CSPAN is another favorite although I do not watch as much, it is tied with CNN
9. Movies
10. Talk and Christian Radio

The Torkelsons

I LOVE this television show from the 90s! It was and probably is one of, if not my favorite show. I know many people probably don't even remember it, and if they do or if they were to watch it now wouldn't be interested in it. I think the reason why I like it so much is because I when it was on, I was about the same age as the main character, Dorothy Jane, and could relate to how she was feeling and what she went through. Also, she was a romantic, which I was, and still am today.

I have most of the episodes of "The Torkelsons," as well as the spin off, "Almost Home" on vhs (yes I need/want to transfer them to DVD), except the ONE episode, really scene that I love the most. Well today, I did a search on Youtube, which I have done before for this series, and hit the jackpot because someone posted most of the episodes from these two series. Most importantly for me, the one scene/episode that I love the most. It is the first minute and so.
