Remembering the great Maurizio Pollini
Legendary pianist Maurizio Pollini defined modern piano playing through a combination of virtuosity of the highest degree, a complete sense of musical purpose and commitment that works in complete control of the virtuosity. His passing was announced by Milan’s La Scala opera house on March 23. Read more >>

Yeah, either that or about 24 hrs.

Speaking of which, I just thought of a great TV show.  They should make a show that lasts an entire season, where the total time lapse is supposed to be 24 hours, and each hour that the weekly show is takes place in real time.  It can be an hour by hour show where we just sit and watch Thal's beard growing back.

It can be an hour by hour show where we just sit and watch Thal's beard growing back.

This is a great idea. I will keep a photo diary of my beard just in case any of the TV channels want to buy the rights. I will give you 50% of the profits as it was your idea.

Incidentally, i often think of great ideas for gameshows. I once thought of one that i called "Celebrity Suicide". Basically, you invite a group of celebs and give them 15 minutes to top themselves on live TV. You then get the audience to press a button on a handset to nominate their favourite. The winner gets their funeral expenses paid, but all the losers are buried on unconsecrated ground and rot in hell for eternity.

I did write to the BBC, but they never responded. Channel 4 however, did think that it might go down well on a late Friday night slot and Peaches Geldof had already put her name forward.

Nah, you'd leave 1/2 of the celebs out of it, and the remainder probably couldn't find them with a map.

You seem to have this obsession of thinking me a she which, on last check, I most certainly am not.
Hopefully there is no "wishfull thinking" on your side....

I would block those who behave like spoiled four-year-olds, especially when they're over 40. It's up to anyone to fill that description, if they so want....

Just confused about some things about on people's behavior and how
nice it feels that somebody cares enough to ask:  *How are you?*
And really mean it.  Indeed, in this world of stress and strife, people has to
text messaging, twitter, msn messenger , emailing, cell phones, and etc., in order to
just keep in touch or connected;  well, I don't think it really matters
afterall.  And I'm sad about something that I have no control of and it's
the pits on how I feel;  it's hard to feel a connection anyhow.
Why bother anyhow.  Life will go on as usual.  The sun
will rise in the morning and set at night.  I will go to sleep and wake up; I  do
this day after day.  *sigh*   *sigh*  *sigh*
