Television
What are they trying to do on Ally McBeal???? I sobbed for the last half hour!
They killed off Billy?!? I knew he was leaving the show, but I figured they’d take him through the rest of the season and get rid of him during the May sweeps. But they killed him TONIGHT!!
I was totally unprepared for this and almost didn’t watch the show because I had started watching the Audrey Hepburn movie. If I had missed this episode I would have flipped out to discover what had happened.
I’m serious when I say I sobbed from the time he collapsed in the courtroom through the funeral. I was just not prepared for this. Of course I would have cried even if I had been prepared – afterall I cry at supermarket openings – but this whapped me out of nowhere.
I really cried when Ally lied to Georgia and told her that Billy’s last words had been "Tell Georgia I love her". It was a nice touch.
I bet Billy haunts Ally for the rest of the season.
While I’m on the topic of television I think that the Audrey Hepburn movie was really well done. Jennifer Love Hewitt did a great job and I thought the movie was very charming. Of course I missed most of the middle while I watched Ally.
Why is it that on those rare nights that there is something worth watching on television there are two worthwhile shows scheduled against each other? I hate that. Especially because there are so many lousy shows out there.
I didn’t make it all the way through the Oscars last night. I fell asleep somewhere around the time that Warren Beatty started his speech. That show runs far too long.
Billy Crystal is incredibly clever. I love his parodies and his quickness with the jokes when something happens spontaneously.
I liked some of the dresses. I found the ones that covered up the cleavage and left something to the imagination to be the most elegant. I hated Cameron Diaz, for example. I thought Cher looked great, Lucy Liu, Nicole Kidman, and Hilary Swank to name a few. And what’s with the hair? Half of these women looked as if they’d been caught in a wind tunnel.
I prefer class and elegance.
I thought the funniest thing was when they lost control of the fog machine and Isaac Hayes was lost in a haze.
Robin Williams and "Blame Canada" was pretty funny as well. Although I was glad that Phil Collins won the award.
I was disappointed that Haley Joel Osment didn’t win, but you know, I wasn’t surprised. I didn’t give a hoot about the rest.
The Tony Awards will be far more entertaining.

Your energies could be a little low today and you might find it difficult to be as effective as you'd like to be right now. In addition, your family could be making some demands on you that you might find a bit annoying, and this could lead to a few disagreements on the home front. Be careful that you don't react to things in a more emotional manner than is really necessary right now.
Be prepared to follow your hunches and your intuition wherever they may lead you. Although you may not understand how you feel so sure about some information or facts or hidden matters, you have probably picked up some clues subconsciously. You have a good feel for how you can profit from your insights and secret information, so get in first and make your move before others wake up to the opportunity.
