Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope you are having a better week than I am. Lots of drama at the Q. I know it will end soon, but I feel like there is a little black cloud hovering over the things I am doing. I have a few work related questions for everyone. I hope you enjoy. I will be blogging about LOST later.
A. What is your favorite thing on your desk today?
B. Do you have a funny nickname for someone at your job that they don't know about?
C. What is the longest and shortest commute you have ever had to a job?
Answers:
A. Today it is my Valentine's Day card from four of my students. They were very nice and shy when they gave it to me and it made me feel great that they thought about me.
B. Most people would think I would, but I actually don't. If this was last year I did, but not this year.
C. My shortest commute was zero minutes because my office was in my apartment. My longest commute was 25 minutes from So. Windsor to Springfield. I hated that ride because gas prices suck. Luckily it is now 3 minutes. :)

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...
80 years old and Oscar doesn't look a day over 25. Since the Oscars are tonight I really felt I should recognize one of the most famous award statues in the world.

We're taking bets that you miss the Hatch...
LOST is on again tonight and I am excited. Hopefully everyone is psyched after last week's shocker. Ben is alive in the future. WOW. This week's episode deals with Kate. According to TV Guide at least. So I have a few things that I wonder about Kate in the present and future and a couple of other things.
* Who is the guy she is with? I am pretty sure it is not Sawyer. I think that she is also working for Ben and her job is to get close to someone. Who would it be? Could it be Penny's Dad or someone related to Penny. I think he is involved somehow.
* Kate looks like she is going to get with Sawyer again. Is she in love with him or does she actually love Jack? It is quite weird. I think this was a little bit like my high school years. No not really, or even close. Does 100 days qualify you to be in love someone? I still think the two most heartfelt moments were with Jack and Kate. Once when she first met him and she sewed him up and second when he told her he loved her last season.
* Why was there a thirty-one minute delay from the ship? That was really weird. My sister thinks Ben or Jacob can bend time, but I think that is a little far fetched. I just don't get that.
* When will Michael come back? I think he is the person on the boat. This is the first place that I have divulged that thought. It has to be someone we already know and Michael really does owe Ben for letting him go free with Walt.
* Will a Taller Walt be a major player in the end of this show? I think that he really will make some cool entrance this season. He might be the most intriguing person on the show next to Desmond.
* Is there going to be another station? Remember how cool it was to find the Hatch? I know they have barracks, but maybe there is another station with stuff relating to everyone. Remember there was the map on the wall. I wonder.
No matter what happens LOST keeps raising the bar. It is a great show that has captured my imagination and makes me truly think. It really is worth getting the DVDs and watching it all over again. I have finally gotten my friend Greg to start watching. Doesn't he have a great name? Just think we have 10 more episodes thing season and 35 more after that. YEAH!!!

We're taking bets that TiVo is awesome...
So everyone who reads my blog knows I got Tivo 2 years ago. It changed my life in a very positive way. I could be anywhere in the world safely knowing that my favorite shows would record. I could watch them at my leisure. I even could try a new show if someone recommended it to me. It was great and I never missed the Daily Show anymore.
Well the day before the premiere of LOST this season it broke. It would no longer receive the signal. This was almost panic time because I then had to be home on Thursday nights. Now I am not a have plans every single night person, but I have some things to do. I was a little bit upset.
I thought it might be the cord and I tried everything. Finally I had to call TiVo to see if the great technicians could figure anything out. They did not have any new ideas. So after speaking to three different people they gave me to the super customer service guy. He saw that I was a loyal customer and offered me a free exchange. I now will be able to record two shows at once. Wow! I know that many cable companies offer DVR, but TiVo is still the best. You should try Tivo because it is AWESOME!!!

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...
Hottie Deanna Russo is part of the new Knight Rider on NBC. She was quite a cutie on Young and the Restless and has my favorite hair on the show. It is an interesting show and I think it might do a better job than Bionic Woman. I hope so because Val Kilmer has a cool voice.

We're taking bets that today is a made up day of love...
Hello WTBT readers!!! Happy Valentine's Day! I hope that everyone is making Hallmark successful. I think it is funny how many people hate Valentine's Day. People should appreciate that there is love in this world and not hate the fact that there is a day dedicated to it. Oh well enough ranting. Here are a few Valentine's Day related questions. I hope you enjoy.
A. Who is your celebrity crush currently?
B. Where would you like to go for a Valentine's Day dinner if money was no option?
C. How many Valentine's are you sending today?
Answers:
A. Ellen Page from Juno. She is quite a cutie although she is a little young for me.
B. I would go to Anthony's Pier 4 in Boston. It has great food and overlooks the Boston Harbor. Their popovers are excellent and I love Seafood.
C. Over 600. I have a lot of students. :)

We're taking bets that's a relief! I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to use the liar, liar, pants-on-fire defense.
I have been relatively quiet regarding Roger Clemens and his alleged HGH/Steroids use. The evidence is starting get stacked against him and I truly think he used some bad stuff. I have not been a fan of Roger since he left the Red Sox in a huff because GM Dan Duquette said he was in the declining years of his career. It was true at the time and surprisingly he started to become an even better player over the next 10 years.
He is now in front of Congress calling his ex-trainer Brian McNamee a liar. He said that one of his best friend's Andy Pettitte misremembered conversations regarding steroids even though Andy has admitted his use. Funny that he doesn't call him a liar too. I think that Roger Clemens is a cheater and he truly ruined what was a great career by using performance enhancing drugs. He was never Nolan Ryan and he never will be. It is a shame we villified Dan Duquette, because maybe he was right. More information will come out and Roger will one day be apologizing to all of his fans. I just wish that the Barry Bonds case could be more conclusive.

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...
Hottie Miranda Lambert goes for a Grammy's tonight. She heated up the charts with Kerosene and is now a Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. She is only 24 and seems to have many great albums ahead of her. She just needs one megahit to join Carrie Underwood, Shania Twain, Faith Hill as one of the most popular country singers.

We're taking bets that the new LOSTies are evil...
So it was another fantastic episode of LOST last night. Of course it sparked a ton of questions to go along with the answers that we were given. Here are a few thoughts that I had and I am wondering what you all think.
1. Who was Daniel's wife in the first scene? I am pretty sure she is related to someone from LOST. I don't know why the first person I thought was she was Jack's wife. It is always interesting when they one show someone, but only their bottom half.
2. Who is the creepy tall black guy? He obviously knows there are people on the island. Why does every bad guy have some odd distinguishing feature. Ben has the eyes and this guy has the veiny neck. He definitely does not work for Oceanic.
3. The pilot definitely knew not to get on that plane. Why do you think that was? Who tipped him off?
4. Who and what put the plane in the ocean? Was there really a person in the cockpit or was it just a mannequin to look like the pilot? I think that it was another plane crash that they covered up.

We're taking bets that itching happens...
Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope that things are going well today!!! It seems like time is speeding by and March will be here before you know it. Thankfully the UCONN Huskies are playing well so it could be a fun March Madness. Below are a few questions that I think you will enjoy answering. Invite others and have fun.
A. What is one place on your body that itches, but you cannot figure out why?
B. If you have an itch in a private place are you afraid to itch it in public or do you just go to town?
C. What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word "giggle"?
Answers:
A. I get an itch once in a while right in the middle of my chest. I don't know why, but it bugs me.
B. I believe that if you have to itch go for it unless you need to go into your clothes. Then it is too much for public viewing. Also if it is longer than 10 seconds you are probably just playing with yourself.
C. My little brother when he was 2 years old. He had the best giggle I have ever heard.

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...
To honor the NY Giants beating my beloved Patriots I thought I would show Wellington Mara's granddaughter Kate. She is a hottie who has been in a bunch of movies and on TV. Congrats to the Giants and the Pats for perhaps one of the best Super Bowl's ever.
