Need a Heroes Fix?

Go to NBC.com and watch some behind-the-scenes "webisodes". There are 4 up right now: Stunts, Wardrobe, The Score and Visual Effects. OK, I know it's not the same as a real episode but I'll take what I can get over the hiatus.

And good news - the cast is back at work filming new episodes! Come on September!!

I Can Tell It's Summer

Seems like every summer I have to become my mother (and if you know my mother, you know what I mean.).
 
For example:  Today, my kids are playing in the back yard.  My dogs are going nuts barking and one of the boys comes running in to tell me he needs to go see what is going on in the front.  Well it seems a couple of boys (one of whom I have already had to tell not to just walk in my house uninvited) were wanting my boys to come to the front yard.  He didn't like that the dogs were barking at him so he THREW HIS SHOE over my fence at my dog.

I went out back and could not find his shoe anywhere.  We searched and searched and then I had a thought...and I was right.  My dog had it chewing on it.  This gave me quite a delight.

So The Pleaser grabbed up the shoe and we went out to the front yard.  I told the boys 1) not to throw things over my fence, 2) not to throw things at my dog and 3) if they did throw anything else over my fence or at my dog, their mom or dad would have to come and get it because I was not giving it back to them.

So the boy sheepishly took the shoe from me and slid his foot into the dog-slobber-soaked footwear and went on his way.   And once again...I am the neighborhood bitch. Thank you....thank you very much. 

No LOST DVD until December 11?

That's what Amazon.com says anyway. Why so long? If it's not coming back until February, I am going to need the DVD to pass some time. I think they're just yanking my chain and it will come out by September. I'm clinging to that hope anyway. :)

Rumor is that it will have 3 bonus discs with extra features including something for fans to "pass the time" with. Ooooh. I can't wait to find out what it is!

So Isaiah Washington...yeah

So he didn't get renewed. Is anyone really surprised? He's probably lucky the network let him finish out the contract he had. Networks don't put up with that crap.

Personally, I don't think what he said was worth getting fired over if it was a one-time thing said out of frustration. Everybody has a bad day. However, I think the way he handled it was out of line.

I also think if the situation had been reversed, and someone had used a derogatory remark toward him, he would have been the one screaming and throwing a fit about getting that person fired. I think T.R. Knight handled things very professionally and I have a lot of respect for him. Isaiah lost my respect after the Golden Globes.

I won't miss him. I'll look forward to some new doctors on Grey's this season to freshen up the storylines.
