Ah, yes. Now you remember. Well the big secret premiere of Yanni Voices we got to see (well, that I kinda got to see) at Blissdom is going to be on PBS this week! I’m totally going to TIVO it and pretend I’m bffs with Ender and Nathan and Yanni.

(By the way, I looked everywhere for the pic of me and Yanni. But no luck. Too bad. I was cute in 1993. And he was totally rockin’ the long hair back then.)

And here’s a little video. To put you in the Yanni mood…

Jeremy Benthem. The Messiah.

in lost

We didn’t get to see the rest of our Losties on the Island. We still don’t know where Rose and Bernard are. Yes, it’s been two weeks since a peek at Sawyer’s shirtless self. But oh, my goodness did I love last night’s episode! I’ve always been on Team Locke and I loved seeing every minute of Locke’s Jeremy Bentham story. There are two things I need to say first off—1)LOCKE IS ALIVE 2)Lost tricked us.

Yes, Lost tricked us. When we first heard about “Jeremy Bentham” they made it seem like our Oceanic Six had many dealings with him. That Jeremy Bentham was a name they spoke many times. And now I realize they did not. They had not. I guess that’s why I’ve been so surprised at how quickly they are back on The Island. I assumed “Jeremy Bentham” would have been off The Island for a longer period of time. Oh well, I guess it’s neither here nor there now. Enough of MY Jeremy Bentham story. Let’s get to the real Jeremy Bentham story! {read the rest of my recap at The Disney Blog…}

I love so much about this picture…her shoes, her headband, the houses in the background, the strange angle and the border [...]

The ohAmanda Reader Survey. Kinda.

February 23, 2009 blogging

I have written and rewritten this post several thousand times. There is a lot spinning around in my head about my blog. But the more I write about the whatif’s and the whataboutthat’s, the more I get a convoluted, wordy mess! So, here’s the deal. I adore my blog. But the reason I do is [...]
