Redemption
For the first time in weeks, I am actually home to watch Lost while it is on and not a day or two behind everyone. I am so loving this season. It's all about the choices we make in life.

You got chocolate in my peanut butter!!!
Whoohoo! Don't you love it when two of your favorite things mix together??? I just found out today that Wentworth Miller has joined the cast of Law & Order SVU!
I've been in one of my phases where I don't watch TV and thought I really wouldn't until Lost comes back on. Well, not totally true, I turn on HGTV and can probably remodel your home but other than that, I have no clue whats out there. This totally gives me a reason to come back and also start catching up on some other shows like Nip/Tuck,Cougar Town and True Blood.
I've only ever seen Wentworth Miller on Prison Break and I am hoping he is believable in another role cos even though he is cute, it sucks when a cute guy is a one trick pony.

You can lead a horse to beer...and it will probably drink
Just haven't been out as much lately. They don't like it when you show up to school drunk.
Fado- Scalp Sugar Ray tickets. Go drinking at the Irish bar with Scottish men and then go dancing at the gay disco. Watch one 25 year old, who had been hitting on me, make out with a woman he doesn't know is really a man. Or maybe he did. Sounds about right.
Blind Pig- Reminded me that everyone is younger than me but was a good place for eye candy and dancing on the roof patio.
Trulucks- Jaspar's bartender moved over here so went for drinks. The bar is gorgeous. Great lighting which I love.
Common Interest- I can never get the name of this place right. Its usually a better crowd but was still fun. Best performance was a girl who rocked a Bjork song. Never cease to find the giant plastic syringe jello shots amusing. Thank you to my friends who came for my 80th b-day.
Tailgating- Never thought I would do it because it was too much like camping but i did it and it was fun! (though i still believe that camping is the root of all evil). Our friends do their tailgate right outside the southeast entrance of the stadium so we could see the crowd. Lots of food, beer and good company.

Smoke up Arnold!
California: Pot tax could generate $1.4 billion
Making marijuana legal could help state fix money problems, report says.

California's problems could be solved with a little weed.
In a report released late Wednseday, the State Board of Equalization said that California could reap $1.4 billion in revenue from taxing and regulating marijuana. The report estimated that retail sales of marijuana would bring $990 million from a $50-per-ounce fee and $392 million in sales taxes.
And that revenue could be put toward the state's $26.3 billion budget gap.
San Francisco Democratic Assemblyman Tom Ammiano proposed a bill in February that would allow adults 21 and older to legally possess, grow and sell marijuana. "It defies reason to propose closing parks and eliminating vital services for the poor while this potential revenue is available," Ammiano said in a statement.
Hearings on Ammiano's bill are expected in the fall.
About 16 million ounces, or 500 tons, of marijuana are consumed in California each year, the Equalization Board calculated, based on law enforcement and academic studies. In 2008, law enforcement agencies seized nearly 5.3 million marijuana plants.
In late June, the state started issuing IOUs for the second time since the Great Depression and the first time in 17 years as Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and lawmakers continued to battle over the budget gap. The IOUs help the state controller stave off a deficit of nearly $3 billion for July.

Prison Break
When I first heard about the show, Prison Break, I thought, WTF?. A whole show based on breaking out of prison? That won't last long. So, I never watched.
Earlier this year, I started watching on DVD and found myself in love with the show. This was no show about some dude taking 25 years to dig out of prison with a spoon. Don't get me wrong, I loved Shawshank Redemption. But that movie was about patience and a dream. Prison break was a show with a plan. It was intelligent and had strong personalities. The plot and dialogue were well written. I took pleasure in waiting to hear what crazy twisted use of words would come out the mouth of a murdering, one handed, southern pedophile named T-Bag. How many times in your life will you get to say that?
I just finished watching the final season on DVD. All around I would say another good story. I could have gone without the flashbacks that dominated the first half of the season though I can see they were used to show motivation. It wasn't my favorite season but I am glad they ended the show before it jumped the shark. The ending was sad but all good things must come to an end. Right?
They played this song in the final scene. I thought it fitting.
If you got dreams in your heart
Why don't you share them with me?
And if dreams don't come true
I'll make sure that
You're nightmares
Are through
If you got pain in your heart
Why don't you share it with me?
And we'll just wait and see
If it's half what it used to be
And lay it down slow
Lay it down free
Lay it down easy
But lay it on me
If you've got love in your heart
Why don't you keep it with mine?
I can't promise a miracle
But I'll always be trying
And lay it down slow
Lay it down free
Lay it down easy
But lay it on me
Lay it down easy
Lay it on me
Lay it down easy
But lay it on me
