my head is throbbing. Yes, I took something. Make it stop.
Anyway.
My quest recently was to see all the movies that I thought would be nominated for an academy award. Well, the nominations just came out a few minutes ago and I am almost done.
The nominees for best picture are:
Brokeback Mountain (check)
Capote (check)
Crash (check)
Good Night, and Good Luck
Munich
Good Night and Good Luck is not playing in any theater around here anymore. So I guess I will not be able to see it before the awards. However, Munich is still showing. I guess that's what I will go see on Thursday.
Oh, speaking of movies - pre-ordered the DVD of RENT. It comes out on February 21st!

something strange
I completely forgot until a few minutes ago that my first call of the day today was a fatality. I didn't really allow myself to deal with it, I guess, because I was just watching Grey's Anatomy and almost broke down. There was a woman on the show who died and at the same time there was a young girl who gave birth. The cliche of life and death that TV always does. But it brought out the feelings that I hadn't dealt with this morning. Each fatality is different. It's different because of who is calling to file the claim. Normally, its not too difficult to deal with because its someone more removed from the person. Today's call was the worse I've had since my first. It was the mother calling. On Thursday, her 22 year old daughter slid on an icy road, lost control of her car, flipped it and ended up upside down in a creek. That brave woman only broke down twice. I was at a complete loss. All I could say was that I was so sorry for her loss. I had to file the claim and wanted to make it as painless as possible. I didn't ask all the details that I would normally ask. I am really surprised that I blocked it out all day and was able to go on with my day. It makes me wonder what kind of person I am. I thought I was a caring person, but I forget? What is wrong with me?

random thoughts
Thoughts on today and car talk
I am still very scatter brained after the whole myspace experience tonight. That is not how I intended to spend this evening.
What I ended up doing today was going to get my feet done. And sister, the fact that I could shave again to get my toes done, never crossed my mind. Especially because the sole reason I shave in the winter time is to get my monthly pedicure. So, I got them done and then went to Target to get coolant. The stupid light never came back on for the rest of the day. I watched the temperature gage thingy and it never went into dangerous territory. So, I still bought the coolant and Chris put it in for me tonight. He also checked my other fluids - IN THE CAR (you sicko!) - and everything looks fine. So hopefully that lovely light coming on was nothing major. Who knows. But one good thing is that in October, we will have paid off our other car. What that means is that I get that car, the KIA and Chris gets to finally get his truck. We haven't decided if it will be new or used, but we have agreed that it will be a quad cab so that it can have a back seat. That was my only concern. So, hopefully my car can last until then so that we don't have to have overlapping payments. But if we have to, it should not be too much of a problem.
Money
So, it's tax season. You know what I hate? Getting your W2 and saying to yourself, "I really made that much money?" Where the hell did it go? I guess realizing that you made more money than you thought is a good thing. The opposite would suck. But we made more this year combined than we ever have. Maybe I shouldn't be sharing that. But we both realized that and both wondered where it all went. We still have debt coming out of everywhere, but we are living comfortably for the first time and its kinda nice. I like that I don't really have to keep track of when we get paid. Not living paycheck to paycheck for the first time in my life. Well, except for when I didn't have to support myself.
Project Runway
Oh my god! Are you watching this season? If you aren't you are missing out. It cracks me up to no end. I love them all. I wouldn't change a single thing about how the season has played out. However, I am falling for Daniel V. Well, he is the only Daniel left, so I can drop the V now. He is so cute in a strange sort of way. I like it when he pulls his bangs back with a hair tie. I think the final 3 will be Chloe, Nick and Daniel. Kara will be the next to go, then Andrae and Santino. I highly recommend watching it.
Brokeback Mountain
I haven't posted my experience last week when I went to see the movie. Here's what happened. I screwed around in the morning and was running late to leave to go to the theater. My head was starting to hurt, but I was late and so I told myself that I have drugs in my purse and can take them when I get to the movie. So I get there after the previews are 80% over and at least it wasn't full. But by the time I get there, my head is in full on pain. I take my pill case out of my purse and guess what, no pills. Empty. So I watched the movie with my head feeling like it was in a vice. I tried to not get distracted by the pain, but sometimes it was too much. I survived and enjoyed the movie. Now since I had read the book, I knew what was going to happen. I still teared up a little at the end. Seeing it is completely different than reading it. It adds a whole other dimension to the story. It was very beautiful and calming to look at. I think that had it been almost any other movie, I probably wouldn't have been able to sit thru it with my headache like it was. Plus, there was this old man who kept clearing his throat very loudly. At first it was startling, when then it became humorous and then annoying. It was a very unusual throat clear also. Another observation was that there were more older people at the show then I thought there would be. And my most thought provoking observation was that people reacted more to the boys kissing than the sex. If you haven't seen it, the sex comes before the kissing. I think that the sex threw everyone off guard and the kiss came more naturally. I don't know why people reacted more to the kiss, but I find it interesting.
Target
I can't get out of that store without spending a bunch of money. Damn Target and their stupid clearance items! I bought this lamp on clearance for $12.50. At least I get good deals. I put the lamp on the hearth in our family room and it's just enough light to give the room a subtle glow. Our family room is really dark, unless you turn on the ceiling fan lights and then its too bright. So, its the perfect solution. But still, Target is addictive. I found this blog a few months ago and I read it all the time. It's totally me. I am a slave to Target.
I am out of my mind right now. I need to try and sleep.
Oh shit. I just remembered something else I love about Target: Cheap DVD's. I have gotten some classics over the last few months, Goonies, the original Willy Wonka. But today-this takes the cake. I bought Lucas. Oh my god. How much do you love that movie? I can't wait to watch it. Maybe tomorrow. That is, if I don't go see Capote tomorrow. I haven't decided what I'm gonna do tomorrow yet. But since it's almost tomorrow, I better get to bed.

sparkle sparkle
You may be asking yourself, what the hell is up with all these glittery things?
I am asking myself that same question. I found them and like them. But I bet I will be sick of them very soon.

myspace will mess with your head
I am wound up right now that I don't even know what to write about. I have discovered that myspace is evil. Why is it evil, you ask? It is evil because if you go looking hard enough, you find people you really wish you hadn't. I got all gung ho about looking for people I graduated from high school with without thinking that I just might find some people. Not just people. People I used to be friends with. People I used to be really good friends with. People I haven't thought about in years. Some, for good reason. I guess its time to start making that list of people I don't want to see at the reunion and I can start with some of the people I found on myspace...
Stacy
Dina
I don't want to post last names for the sake of search engines pointing people here. But if you know me, you know who those two people are. Apparently they are "best friends." I could go on for hours for why that is weird. But whatever. Stacy is married and lives in California. Whatever. I can't do this anymore. I have been on this computer messing with myspace for 3 hours. I even ate dinner sitting here at the computer because I couldn't stop reading about people and trying to find them. I did find one person that I do plan to contact. Renae. She was one of my best friends in grade school. So, it wasn't all bad, I guess. AH - MAKE IT STOP!

can I make it?
Capote @ 1pm.
I get off work at 11am. Then I need to go get my toes done. That can't wait, because I shaved and everything last night. So, assuming I don't have to wait, it should take about an hour to get the feet done. That means, I should be done by about 12:20ish. I think I can make the movie. We shall see.
Oh and this is great - my "check coolant" light came on in my car this morning. Should I even be driving it like that? Who even knows? Maybe I should wait on the movie and just get the feet done and go home. That sounds like a better plan.
Have I mentioned that I hate cars?

Random things that people have said to me today (while taking their claims):
"I'm not hurt, but I peed myself."
"It's a shame for those people who can't read and I am one of them."
You can't make this shit up.

you know what stinks?
Besides waking up with a headache?
I realized when I was about 2 miles from work, that I forgot to put on deodorant. Nice. I debated turning around and going home to put it on, but I would have been late. So, of course, I started sweating and freaking out. I pulled into work and suddenly realized that I have a membership to the gym at work and... THEY HAVE DEODORANT! Awesome. I stopped in and sprayed. Ah, much better. I can sweat all I want now. Hooray.
Now, if only this headache would go away.

*yawn*
I just had a realization. I had to get up, out of bed, and write this down.
This is the year of my 10 year high school reunion. I need to go on a diet. How cliche am I that I just decided I am going to go on a diet before my reunion? Yup. My realization was multi-layered.
1. I am 28 years old.
2. It has been 10 years since I graduated from high school.
3. My reunion will be sometime this year.
4. I need to loose some weight for that.
5. Not just for that, but because its about time.
damn. I need to go back to bed.
Before I do... a list of things I need to remember to blog about:
my cracked, dry hands
Brokeback Mountain
a list of people I do and do not want to see at the reunion

the gift of music
Ever since my sister "gifted" me a song when she left for college, I have been a big fan of "gifting" songs to people. What I mean by that is giving someone song lyrics or playing the song for them and telling the person what the meaning of the song means to you or for them. I might not be making much sense, but I often do this. So, I am going to do it now for my sister. I know I have gifted many songs to her, but I heard one over the weekend that I can't get out of my head. Not only that, but it is my wish and hope for her. It makes me cry to listen to it. Here you go, sis. I love you so very much.
Move Along by All American Rejects
Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone stands
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold
Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
Move along
So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold
Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong we move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong, we move along
Along, along, along
When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
[x3]
(Move along)
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrong
We move along
To hear it, click here, select your media player and choose track 3.
And the funny thing is, when I was listening to other tracks, I feel like I should also gift you, Dirty Little Secret. Teehee.
edited to add: the new video for the song is here

cramps.are.the.devil.
I am in serious pain here folks. I know that it seems like way to much information, but I don't care.
I am going home early. I will convienently be able to watch the Broncos game, but that is not why I am going home. I can't sit here like this all day.
I can't bring myself to write anymore either...

totally
I was totally gonna go shopping after I get off work today. Then I totally checked the movie listings and saw that the movie I have totally wanted to see for like ever is going to open tomorrow at the theater that is right by where I was going to go shopping today. So I am totally not gonna go shopping today and I am totally going tomorrow and finally going to see Brokeback Mountain. Then I totally wigged when I saw that Capote is opening at the same theater tomorrow too. I totally thought that I should theater jump and stay to see the showing of Capote after Brokeback. But I decided that might be a little much for one day. So I am totally going to see Capote next Thursday. I decided I need to totally see more movies. I want to see most of the award nominated movies before the academy awards. Even though those nominations aren't even out yet. Like totally.

blogging the Golden Globes
Lets get this party started. And fer real? Don't Cha? Is that the only song anyone can sing?
7:06pm MST
What's with Adrian Brody's ascot? Why does he think he's cute? Natalie Portman's hair is growing back. That's good to see. Her dress has little boob cups. That's odd.
Does George Clooney really act? I don't think he's that great of an actor and not all that good looking. But that's just me.
7:10pm MST
How beautiful is Scarlett Johansson? My lord. Ah- Rachel Weisz just scared the crap out of me. She looks so scary. I know she's pregnant, but that dress, the makeup and the hair. That's wrong. No wins for Dawson's Creekers tonight. Boo.
7:18pm MST
THE PIVES!!!!!!!! Better win this time! PAUL NEWMAN? You've got to be shitting me! Totally not fair. The new Superman is not cute at all. And Teri Hatcher looks old.
Sandra Oh rocks my world. She is the shit on Grey's Anatomy. She didn't know where to go. Cute. She feels like someone set her on fire. So cute.
I don't know if I can keep up this pace, but I will try. When I have to stop and eat, I'll make mental notes.
7:26pm MST
Drew - put on a bra! MY GOD. She looks terrible. Emmy Rossum is so pretty. I loved Phantom.
7:30pm MST
Love me some Jesse L. Nicolette needs to stop. Dating Michael Bolton? Seriously?
Geena Davis won. What a major upset. No one thought she would win.
7:34pm MST
Dr. McDreamy. Can't Buy Me Love. hehehe Ah Went. How cute are you? At least it was some random that I don't even watch that beat my boy. Everyone said Hugh Laurie would win and that Wentworth Miller was the dark horse. But he looks so cute. How funny about the names in the pocket and picking them out at random. That's really funny.
Damn, this is alot harder than I thought. I am trying to watch and pay attention. But I can only type so fast.
7:40pm MST
Not about the Globes - Chris just dropped a chip in my glass of soda. He then said, blog about that. I said, "ok" and he said, "I was kidding." He said that he wants to get a shirt that says "My life is not your blog."
7:42pm MST
Melanie gets to introduce her daughter as Miss Golden Globe. Cute. I really don't want to see The Producers. I am not impressed.
7:45pm MST
I haven't seen any of these mini series'. Viva Blackpool? What the hell is that? At least the others I have heard of.
Ah, speeches give me time to rest.
7:46pm MST
William Peterson and Pam Anderson. Yikes. She is such trash. Mandy is there with Zach. How cute. Charlie Sheen looks sad and lonely. Deservedly so. Steve Carell won! That's so cool. This is upset night too. No one was predicating any of these winners so far. Wow. Do you think his wife really wrote that speech? It would be funny either way. He thanked her like 100 times. I love that The Daily Show was all inbred like that.
Getting the feeling that I have something to say about everything and everyone? Damn me.
7:57pm MST
Sissy's boyfriend, Tim Robbins.
7:58pm MST
now trying to triple task. Eating too. Come on Reese. SWEET. She rocked that movie. Scarey dress though. Ryan Phillippe is so hot and such a cute husband. They are the best. She almost cried thanking her family.
8:01pm MST
How much as Desperate Housewives jumped the shark? I mean come on. It's not even good anymore. They all vetoed each other out. At least the foreign press knows that Housewives has jumped the shark too. Mary Louise Parker is such a good actress.
OOh, I am staying tuned for Matthew McConaughey.
8:07pm MST
Did you just see that Scrubs commercial? How freaking funny is that? I'll be they made one for every nominee and one for if Zach Braff won. I was not a huge Scrubs fan, but I will watch it if nothing else is on.
8:11pm MST
I'll admit it once and for all. I have a major girl crush on Kate Beckinsale.
8:34pm MST
Just finished eating. Not much to say about what was on then.
Entourage better win. Damn those Housewives. Freaks. I hate them.
8:37pm MST
Penelope Cruz does not look all that great. That color of light pink is not good on her.
8:38pm MST
Matthew - finally. That tease for him was a long time ago. That movie with Sarah Jessica looks dumb. How cute that Matthew, of the Broderick persuasion, winked at SJP when she was walking on stage. They are a cute married couple too. Put them and Reese and Ryan in a competition for cutest celebrity couple.
8:49pm MST
Alanis and her blonde ass hair did not win. Maybe if she didn't dye her hair, she would have won.
8:56pm MST
I'm slowing down. Gwynnie all pregnant like. That dress sucks. But she is so cute pregnant. I vote for the new baby to be named Plum.
Anthony Hopkins...blah...blah...blah. Why does she keep calling him Antony. No h. Why?
9:16pm MST
I really have to see Brokeback Mountain now. Ang Lee won. I think Chris indirectly said that I can take his car on Friday and go.
9:20pm MST
Joaquin was a shoe in. I'll bet that he made a bet with Ryan Phillipe and that's what that "I will pay" meant and the hand gesture from Ryan. Funny. I think that Joaquin is an amazing actor because he is so messed up and strange in real life and you would never know it from his characters. Like I was saying about George Clooney-his acting is not a stretch for him. It's just a slight variation on him in real life. But not that way with Joaquin. Remember when he was Leaf Phoenix?

Chris says that Renee Zellweger looks like she just got slapped and is about to cry. He said she always looks like that. He cracks me up. Watching these shows with him are difficult because he tries to act like he knows, but he is wrong most of the time. He asks himself trivia questions and then tries to answer them himself. Then gives up and asks me. Cool that Walk the Line won. At least I've seen that movie.
Seriously. Reese and Ryan are the cutest couple ever!
9:32pm MST
Chris just put two and two together. "It makes sense that it is the globes since it is the foreign press." I told him that he is funnier to blog than the award show. He says that's not fair.
9:37pm MST
Best show - I am torn. Prison Break or Grey's. But I think LOST will win. Look, there's Went again. Ahh. See LOST won. Thought so.
9:41pm MST
Dennis Quaid just made me scream. It rhymes with chic flick. What an ass. That was totally insensitive. I just keep saying "wow." I've heard it called a gay cowboy movie, but never a dick flick.
9:43pm MST
Since I've seen clips of Felicity Huffman in Transamerica, I can't not look at her and think of her as a man dressed as a women. For real. Next time you see her, think of that. Maybe that's why she won, because she really looks like a dude. She called her husband her north star and her haven. That is really sweet. But she still looks like a dude.
augh. This is almost over. I will not be blogging the Oscars, that's for sure.
It makes me not like it. It makes me want it to end. And if you know me at all, you know that I live for this shit. I am a celebrity junkie. I can answer almost any celebrity question you might have. I would make the best phone a friend for celebrity or pop culture questions.
Give Heath the award so we can all go home.
9:50pm MST
Here we go. Oh yeah, I need to see Capote. That looks really good. Damn. Heath didn't win. Upset city again. Crazy. And I thought Heath and Michelle would both win and it would be family affair. I was totally wrong.
9:57pm MST
When they bring Denzel out, you know its almost over.
Brokeback just won for best picture. Director, screenplay and movie, but no acting awards for it. Very interesting.
10:00pm MST
Thank you for reading and goodnight.
7:06pm MST
What's with Adrian Brody's ascot? Why does he think he's cute? Natalie Portman's hair is growing back. That's good to see. Her dress has little boob cups. That's odd.
Does George Clooney really act? I don't think he's that great of an actor and not all that good looking. But that's just me.
7:10pm MST
How beautiful is Scarlett Johansson? My lord. Ah- Rachel Weisz just scared the crap out of me. She looks so scary. I know she's pregnant, but that dress, the makeup and the hair. That's wrong. No wins for Dawson's Creekers tonight. Boo.
7:18pm MST
THE PIVES!!!!!!!! Better win this time! PAUL NEWMAN? You've got to be shitting me! Totally not fair. The new Superman is not cute at all. And Teri Hatcher looks old.
Sandra Oh rocks my world. She is the shit on Grey's Anatomy. She didn't know where to go. Cute. She feels like someone set her on fire. So cute.
I don't know if I can keep up this pace, but I will try. When I have to stop and eat, I'll make mental notes.
7:26pm MST
Drew - put on a bra! MY GOD. She looks terrible. Emmy Rossum is so pretty. I loved Phantom.
7:30pm MST
Love me some Jesse L. Nicolette needs to stop. Dating Michael Bolton? Seriously?
Geena Davis won. What a major upset. No one thought she would win.
7:34pm MST
Dr. McDreamy. Can't Buy Me Love. hehehe Ah Went. How cute are you? At least it was some random that I don't even watch that beat my boy. Everyone said Hugh Laurie would win and that Wentworth Miller was the dark horse. But he looks so cute. How funny about the names in the pocket and picking them out at random. That's really funny.
Damn, this is alot harder than I thought. I am trying to watch and pay attention. But I can only type so fast.
7:40pm MST
Not about the Globes - Chris just dropped a chip in my glass of soda. He then said, blog about that. I said, "ok" and he said, "I was kidding." He said that he wants to get a shirt that says "My life is not your blog."
7:42pm MST
Melanie gets to introduce her daughter as Miss Golden Globe. Cute. I really don't want to see The Producers. I am not impressed.
7:45pm MST
I haven't seen any of these mini series'. Viva Blackpool? What the hell is that? At least the others I have heard of.
Ah, speeches give me time to rest.
7:46pm MST
William Peterson and Pam Anderson. Yikes. She is such trash. Mandy is there with Zach. How cute. Charlie Sheen looks sad and lonely. Deservedly so. Steve Carell won! That's so cool. This is upset night too. No one was predicating any of these winners so far. Wow. Do you think his wife really wrote that speech? It would be funny either way. He thanked her like 100 times. I love that The Daily Show was all inbred like that.
Getting the feeling that I have something to say about everything and everyone? Damn me.
7:57pm MST
Sissy's boyfriend, Tim Robbins.
7:58pm MST
now trying to triple task. Eating too. Come on Reese. SWEET. She rocked that movie. Scarey dress though. Ryan Phillippe is so hot and such a cute husband. They are the best. She almost cried thanking her family.
8:01pm MST
How much as Desperate Housewives jumped the shark? I mean come on. It's not even good anymore. They all vetoed each other out. At least the foreign press knows that Housewives has jumped the shark too. Mary Louise Parker is such a good actress.
OOh, I am staying tuned for Matthew McConaughey.
8:07pm MST
Did you just see that Scrubs commercial? How freaking funny is that? I'll be they made one for every nominee and one for if Zach Braff won. I was not a huge Scrubs fan, but I will watch it if nothing else is on.
8:11pm MST
I'll admit it once and for all. I have a major girl crush on Kate Beckinsale.
8:34pm MST
Just finished eating. Not much to say about what was on then.
Entourage better win. Damn those Housewives. Freaks. I hate them.
8:37pm MST
Penelope Cruz does not look all that great. That color of light pink is not good on her.
8:38pm MST
Matthew - finally. That tease for him was a long time ago. That movie with Sarah Jessica looks dumb. How cute that Matthew, of the Broderick persuasion, winked at SJP when she was walking on stage. They are a cute married couple too. Put them and Reese and Ryan in a competition for cutest celebrity couple.
8:49pm MST
Alanis and her blonde ass hair did not win. Maybe if she didn't dye her hair, she would have won.
8:56pm MST
I'm slowing down. Gwynnie all pregnant like. That dress sucks. But she is so cute pregnant. I vote for the new baby to be named Plum.
Anthony Hopkins...blah...blah...blah. Why does she keep calling him Antony. No h. Why?
9:16pm MST
I really have to see Brokeback Mountain now. Ang Lee won. I think Chris indirectly said that I can take his car on Friday and go.
9:20pm MST
Joaquin was a shoe in. I'll bet that he made a bet with Ryan Phillipe and that's what that "I will pay" meant and the hand gesture from Ryan. Funny. I think that Joaquin is an amazing actor because he is so messed up and strange in real life and you would never know it from his characters. Like I was saying about George Clooney-his acting is not a stretch for him. It's just a slight variation on him in real life. But not that way with Joaquin. Remember when he was Leaf Phoenix?

I am the shit!
I got the following email from one of my bosses today:
XXXX Insured, Bernard XXXXX from XX, sent a letter praising what a great job Laura had done on his glass claim. He stated that, "He was very satisfied with the entire process. Laura was courteous, arranged the repair at his convenience and set the appointment with a repairman, while he was on the phone with her. He just wanted to tell XXXX, that it was a pleasure to do business with a great company with truly dedicated people."
Thanks for the TERRIFIC JOB, Laura !!!!
I rule! (picturing Kevin Spacey in American Beauty)

ICANNOTBELIEVEIFORGETTOBLOGABOUTTHIS!!!
Yesterday I discovered something so fabulous that I floated around the house. I found that... wait for it... wait for it... the John Mayer Trio will headline the second day of the Tempe Music Festival. Tempe. As in Tempe, Arizona. Less than 15 miles from my home!!!!!!! I am so excited! It is March 31st and April 1st. That is the weekend after I get back from seeing my sibling unit. I asked Chris if we could go and he said yes! I thanked him for not fighting me on it. He said that he didn't really have a choice anyway. And I said, "no, not really. But you could have fought me on and then gone anyway."
I am so excited!
I am so excited!
upset city
I am loving this weekends NFL playoff games! Last weekend sucked, with the Bengals losing and all. But last night, the Broncos won!! I am a new Bronco fan for the last couple years. Ever since Jake Plummer left the Cardinals. Well, needless to say I was very excited that the Broncos won. Not just won - they beat the defending champs, New England Patriots. How cool! Then today, the Steelers beat the Colts in the upset of the year. That means the Broncos will play the Steelers next week and the winner of that game gets to go to the Super Bowl!!!! WOOHOO! That gives the Broncos a real chance. I knew that if they played the Colts, they would lose. But now that the Colts are gone, they have a good chance.
Are you ready for some football?!?!?!?!
Yes. I am a girl.

People's Choice Awards
Hooray for Prison Break! It won best new drama. I was watching the show with my mother on the phone and she kept trying to tell my father which of the boys on the show I like while they were playing a clip of the actual show. She kept saying that I liked "that guy" when Dominic Purcell was on the screen. I kept saying to her, "No. The other guy." So that explains the alterations to this picture! hehe
