If you saw the photo of Wally yesterday, you will understand why people were yelling “Olé!” at him all day.
I finally bit the bullet and bought my ticket to Australia and New Zealand for next summer. I can’t get a refund, so I’m obligated to go. However, I can change the dates if I have to, so if we end up working through hiatus due to the pending writer’s strike, I can just reschedule it. I’ve been mapping out my trip for some time, so I knew what dates I needed to travel. I didn’t check the updated work schedule, though. I thought I was leaving a week after I wrapped out, but now I’m leaving the day after. No decompression time, just off to the airport for 12 hour flight.
I forgot to mention after I watched “Heroes” on Monday night –
Holy crap! Is that show awesome, or what? Every week, when I see the “To Be Continued…” slate come up, I think, “Noooo!” I am so totally hooked on it. “Lost” now seems so completely lame in comparison, though I feel compelled to watch it through to the bitter end so I can get some closure on the many, many unanswered questions.
Every time I pick a song of the day, I try to pick one by a band I haven’t used before. I flip through the iPod looking for something interesting, and I’m always surprised to search my own blog and find I haven’t used a particular band before. I feel that way today as I choose “Keep On Loving You” by REO Speedwagon. The song was originally recorded for their 1980 album Hi Infidelity. I always remember it from the movie “The Last American Virgin.” This band has the most unlikely lead singer for a rock band. Have you SEEN Kevin Cronin?

oh man, I envy your trip to Oz . . . Cronin is a bit trollish, but I used to think the lead guitarist was cute - of course, this was in 1978. I'm going to wait and get the Heroes DVD - I hear good things about it
p.s. nice use of the link to yesterday!
Edit - Regarding a potential writer's strike... if, for example, a show has an executive producer and creator who also happens to write many episodes, would s/he still be able to write under the guise of his/her other roles on the show? Hypothetically speaking, of course.
Congrats on taking the plunge to Oz. You're going to have a fantastic time. I think my dad traveled there 25-26 times in his life, he LOVED it there.
Hysterical people were shouting Ole to Wally!
OLE' hahahaha I wish all the best for Wally - he's a beautiful pup.
Btw I'm so glad u got ur tickets done, I can't wait till u come over - I'm writing a list of places to go to, The Penguins are a definite yes.
la - Nope. The creator is a member of the WGA, and if they strike, he can't write.
Congrats on your upcoming trip. You're going to love it. If you happen to find yourself in Christchurch, New Zealand, check out a pub, located right in the city center, called Bailey's. It's on the ground floor of a youth hostel that I stayed in for months. I had many a fine evening at Bailey's, some of which I even remember. As of last year there was still a picture of me and some of my ice-friends on the wall. I got married there too, but don't hold that against them...
