(Wednesday)
TAN/OT: HALLELUJAH, the heatwave FINALLY broke today!!! It's been triple digits here in San Jose for 5-6 days STRAIGHT. It's only a mere 85 degrees in my living room at 2am, as opposed to a 94-degree sauna for the last few nights. I had been entombed in my bedroom with my portable air-conditioner AND a big fan for the last 5-6 days STRAIGHT! I never thought I'd APPRECIATE a mere refreshing 88 degrees in the living room first thing in the morning! I shudder to think of what my next electric bill is going to look like, though, after running the air-conditioner 24-hours a day for so long
Did you notice how almost everyone in the bar was staring up at the ceiling throughout the speech? I can see it when people first start hearing it, but it's not like the dead guy is going to fall through a ceiling panel.
Nothing like drunken bungee jumping. They probably cut out the part where one or both of them barfed their guts up in the process.
Okay, I'm paying more attention today and I see what people are talking about with the filming (I was watching from more of a distance on a PC during aforementioned heatwave). If they're going to switch from videotape to film, they should at least get it RIGHT! This SUCKS! I think everyone's movement is out of sync with the audio by just a tiny fraction, and it's very DISTRACTING. It's kind of making me seasick to watch it. Also, there appear to be little cuts of a frame here and a frame there that make it appear to be stumbling just long enough for the human eye to barely detect it, but not quite be sure whether or not it happened. Is this some kind of cost-cutting factor to try to squeeze more commercials in or use less film or something? If so, they are doing a PISS-poor job of it. The handheld aspect of it is ALSO very annoying, but I think it's separate from the slipped frames part. Whatever it is, it is NOT working. I suggest that we should complain to ABC about it.
JAR is SUCH a f**king ASSHOLE! I know I say that on a regular basis, but it bears repeating on a regular basis. How can Babe POSSIBLY love this vicious, toxic, psychopathic weasel?
Why does Lily keep wearing big giant gaudy earmuffs? Earplugs would probably do a MUCH better job and would not be NEARLY as silly- looking.
I cannot BELIEVE that even with KNOWING that what's-her-face is hiding out, the blinds in the condo are STILL open, even at night when it's SOOOO easy to see right inside and VERY hard to see outside.
I thought it was hilarious how quickly Babe and Josh drove away from JAR -- it was about 6 seconds from the time they stepped away from him to the sound of burning rubber
