It is a one year special but I'm moving before that ha ha! Anyway now I watch Showtime and get all the old episodes of their series "on demand." Anyone else watch Dexter? Weeds? I thunk Dexter is one of the best shows ever (which may only prove how demented I really am). I think it catches the philosophical issues far better than Patricia Highsmith's Ripley novels did and far far better than any Ripley movie. Plus it is so well crafted, acted, scripted, and funny. Weeds - what a wacky premise and what a fun show. The Tudors is why I wanted Showtime and that is so well worth it. I think their portrayals of Tudor history and persons (other than the woeful merger of Henry's two sisters and replacing a dead kinf of France with a dead king of Portugal) is really insightful. They have Anne Boleyn actually falling in love with Henry and make clear the abasement of Mary Tudor which is perhaps why later she was so murderous and vengeful. I never thought ever concept before so I am well pleased. Plus Jonathan Rys Meyers is worth watching just because.

Thank you, Vince! ER. Of course! It *was* a beautiful episode then, wasn't it? I was afraid when I saw the subject line that it was going to be Muller pickin' on me again for liking something cheesy or cliched or awful! (I still love Across the Universe, and Sally Field, so THERE!) I just dug a little and found this: 178. On the Beach Community Score 9.3 Superb 33 reviews First aired: 5/9/2002 Production Code: 227271 Mark decides to use his remaining time to help "fix" Rachel and takes her to Hawaii to show her where he grew up. He teaches her how to surf and how to drive a stick shift. Mark catches her chasing one of his Percocet with a shot of vodka and confronts her about wasting her life. One day after surfing he has a seizure. Elizabeth arrives with Ella in town. She wants to take Mark home, but he refuses. Early one morning, he dies. After the funeral, Rachel tells Elizabeth she'd like to visit Ella, and Elizabeth agrees.

No time to check now. Love, Patti P., just home from the eye doctor who said, when she walked in the room: "Well, if it isn't our favorite Joni Mitchell fan! How is Joni these days?" (There is note on the inside of file that says "Joni Mitchell fan". I don't know how she knew that. Maybe she looked into my eyes once and saw that they're full of Joni moon and roses and kisses and pretty men?) I think that was Anthony Edwards dying in ER. There was a song they played throughout his weeks of dying and death and for life of me I cannot remember what it was. I hope someone ele will.

Can't wait for Weeds to start back up. Frankly, I was really surprised they are doing another season. But I'm happy about it for sure! Thank god for the Tudors now. Yes, JRM is stunning. I like the HBO ones too. Can't wait for Big Love to start back up. Yeah Dexter is great - I miss it. We also love the L Word at my house, shallow as it may be. So for awhile it was really great, we were getting 2, count 'em TWO, new Showtime show episodes a week. Sometimes I wonder if these series serve the same purpose, only sort of *bent*, as the Wonderful World of Disney did when alot of the 60's kids were kids. Its almost disconcerting how attractive some of the HBO and Showtime shows are. Easy to get obsessed. I got so obsessed with John From Cincinatti (sp)...but then I realized, after trying to chip away at the meaning of it, "man! there's nothin there! it was a scam" you can dig and dig and there ain't no bone to be found. OTOH, Carnivale provided lots to chew on. A few of the shows I was never able to penetrate, or they were unable to penetrate me. Deadwood and Sleeper Cell come to mind. Also Entourage. Many others I simply need to catch up on, only having seen an episode or 2. The Wire and OZ would be among those. I guess DVD rentals are going to be involved. Maybe some rainy day!

As Joni said circa DED, she had "exorcised her compulsion to consider 'what is love, where is love - the anatomy of the crime' which allowed her to contemplate more on the external and vocalize hard--to-digest truths about life itself and the realities she witnessed all about her: "Oh radiant happiness It was all so light and easy Till I started analyzing And I brought on my old ways A thunderhead of judgment was Gathering in my gaze And it made most people nervous They just didn't want to know What I was seeing in the refuge of the roads" (Hejira) All of this off the top of my head, I'd say that two of her most philosophical songs would be her brilliant adaptations of William Yeat's "The Second Coming" - "Slouching Towards Bethlehem" (NRH) and Rudyard Kipling's "If" (Shine). Sweet Bird is philosophical about life and entire paradigms and civilizations and their apparent futility from a galactic perspective and really approaches nihilism IMO and can be very humbling and alienating if you let yourself resonate with it. There are soooooooooo many, but I'll go with "Come In From The Cold" (NRH) for now, and what to me are her "exploding lines" - usually philosophical in nature. When I thought life had some meaning Then I thought I had some choice (I was running blind) And I made some value judgments In a self-important voice (I was outa line) But then absurdity came over me And I longed to lose control (into no mind) Oh all I ever wanted Was just to come in from the cold On Wed, May 7, 2008 at 11:21 PM, Monika Bogdanowicz wrote: > Well, reading through everyone's exploding lines (not to mention the > interpretations of some of them) got me thinking.

I was arrested in a civil disobedience action at UMass-Amherst on the 19th anniversary of Kent State. I didn't even know about the anniversary at first. We were protesting Pentagon-funded weapons research at the University. Anthrax, microwave weapons, robotic weapons, etc. There were several sit-ins I took part in, and was arrested at two of them. The second one was at the Graduate Research Center, in the Vice Chancellor's office suite. I remember marching into the guy's office, Silvio Conti was the guy's name. Boy, was he pissed! :) I remember my friend Daniel from UMass-Boston (outside agitator?) was right behind me and Mr. Conti was trying to push him back out of the office. Now, Daniel was this big Haitian guy, he looked like he could've been an offensive guard, and Silvio Conti looked tiny next to him. And he was pushing with all his might, red faced. Funny, I don't know why he didn't go for me instead, I was as skinny as a rail. By the time he gave up on Daniel and turned back around to his desk, his chair was being occupied by my good friend Diane (I haven't seen any of these people in years, God I miss them), with her feet propped up on his desk. I seriously thought the guy was going to pop a vein in his head. He stormed out at that point, and we were in for the night. The next afternoon the state police cleared us out. Friends of mine got seriously roughed up. Diane got a dislocated shoulder (not from that action, but one of the previous ones) and I know a couple of people that got hurt. A common tactic seemed to be to handle a protester in such a way that it caused them pain (e.g., twisting an arm) and when the person yelps and squirms, the officer says "(S)he kicked me, did you see that?" and a fellow officer would say, "Yeah, I saw it." And they'd charge the protester with assault on a police officer. Nice, eh? Of course, these days they would've just tazed us and been done with it. Nothing that bad happened to me. I just got dragged out to the bus where they were collecting us, and the police called me a pussy and a faggot and a fuckin' hippie, etc, etc. And they verbally threatened me with violence. Outside the building there was a huge crowd, several thousand I'd say. And the tension in the air was palpable. People were angry. Some with us, some against us. Lots of yelling people, lots of police in full riot gear. It was very loud. Students were laying down in front of the bus, and those kids were getting arrested too. My hair was standing up. I swear, it felt like we were one thrown rock away from an actual riot. When I was tossed onto the bus, the kid I ended up seated next to leaned over and asked if I was aware that it was the 19th anniversary of the Kent State massacre. I said, no I didn't know that. Thanks for telling me, I feel so much safer now. That was my last day as a student at UMass. I was summarily suspended, pending a hearing, which I ended up skipping. There were so many that were arrested that day (a couple hundred, I believe) that they didn't even bother jailing us. They took us to the football stadium (shades of Santiago?) and processed us there, and then let us go. I caught a ride back to campus from a friend and we saw several police and fire vehicles off the road a ways and a medical examiner's car. And we said, crap. If there's a coroner there, then somebody is dead. WTF is going on here? As it turned out later, it was just an accidental drowning. But, we didn't know that then, and it just added to the general creepiness at that moment. Definitely a very hair-raising ordeal. Rumor had it that the National Guard was on standby to be called in if the "crisis" on campus escalated any further. I think there was one other building occupation the following week, and still no Guardsmen, so maybe that was just a rumor. This was in the Spring of 1989 while the Tiananman Square pro-democracy protests were happening. I seem to remember there was also a massive protest happening on a missile proving ground in India in order to block the testing of a medium-range missile, or something along that line. And of course the Berlin Wall came down later that year. It was a time that I will always remember clearly. Ultimately we failed, of course. As far as I know, the military-academic complex is alive and well at UMass and other universities. And microwave and robotic weapons are now a reality. :( Ironically, one of the primary uses of the microwave weapons will be to disperse large gatherings of people without resorting to fire hoses and German shepherds, and other things that look bad on TV. > P.S. I read today that McCain wants to kick Russia out of the G-8. Oh, wonderful. Not a sign of good > judgment, or intentions, imo. America and Russia, always keeping score....another cold, cold war, with no diplomacy. Deja vu. Gorbachev was in the paper today (Boston Globe) lamenting the ratcheting up of tensions between the US and Russia. And he sure wasn't blaming Russia for those increased tensions. I agree with him. Our leaders, and I use the term loosely, have made the entire world less safe over the past seven years. I really don't think we can handle another four years of this crap.
