Jude's Thursday Dish

So, here's some cold Dish for you. Yesterday, our largest issue of the year went to press. I worked twice my hours last month working on it. Everything around me is in shambles, but hey... it's going to be a great issue! So if you see it, pick it up, so I feel like all my hard work went to something (other than just paying our bills).

Since I'm SICK of being on the computer and I need to get back to my life, here's just some quick LUNCH RUSH bits to tide us over.

- Michael Sarver on "American Idol' should be counting his lucky stars he got that far and got to go on tour.  Alexis Grace SO deserved that spot over him.  But Matt Giraud in the bottom two?  Maybe if he didn't look so pissed off all the time, people would vote for him.  He definitely has the talent, just not sure about the personality.  And I have to say.  I'm still TOTALLY digging Adam Lambert.

- So, Madonna is adopting another child from Malawi.  I mean, it's really great, but I have to go off on this tangent that I know I've blogged about before.  Don't you just love how celebs can just drop the big dough and pick up a baby as easy as you or I would get groceries?  But if you're poor and regular folk, you have to go through all the ropes and pay more than you can afford just to open up your home to a child who needs a family.

- Have you seen the new "Where the Wild Things Are" trailer?  When I heard they were doing this movie, I wrote it off, but this trailer looks very cool:

- And finally, quick LOSTapolooza.  Go AWAY if you haven't seen it.  Another STELLAR episode.  I love that the writers appreciate what the fans are thinking and will have the character's say our thoughts.  Like when Hurley was talking about Juliet and Sawyer hooking-up, something to the effect of "Didn't we all see that coming?"  Loved all the turmoil with who I would say is the show's most tragic character, Sayid.  They still had me guessing.  At first, I definitely thought Sayid was there to kill Young Harry Potter -- I mean, Ben -- but when they showed that scene with him an Old Benry that he was trying to change, it really seemed like Sayid thought he was there to reform Young Ben.  I actually tihnk it might be the same as when Benry killed Locke.  He really intended on saving Locke from hanging himself, but then he snapped.  I choose to believe that Sayid was really going to try and help Young Ben, but when he saw Jin's gun and the opportunity came up, he couldn't help but shoot Young Ben because that's really who he is - and he knew he'd be saving GENERATIONS by killing him off.

Young Ben is obviously not dead.  The Island will save him.  But I think it's interesting when Old Benry said to Sayid back in the episode where he was bandaging up his shoulder, "Remember what you did the last time you followed your heart?"  Does Old Benry remember Sayid shooting him when he was 12?  They MUST address all that.  In the future, do these people remember meeting all of these peeps in the 70's?

That's it for this week!
