update at 7:47 pm (est): d'oh! how lame am i? so lame that i only just this moment realized that i used the same "heading" as daddy. holy crap. oh well... you know what i always say about great minds don't ya? no? too bad.... maybe you don't have one.
last night, i had a dream. in this dream, i wasn't the glorious/fiesty little puppy girl you all know and love, i was the mild-mannered whimpy boy max that some of you love but who is a royal pain in my glorious/fiesty little puppy girl butt, which, of course, has nothing to do with my dream, but needed to be said. anyway, in this dream, i didn't know where i was, but i think it was a kennel of some sort. (me? in a kennel??? that's a laugh! to know me and/or my mommy and/or my daddy is to know that would never happen...)
in this dream, a guy named tony soprano came into the cage i was sitting in and tried to steal my akc papers because, and i quote, "my show's turning into a dog... at least with these papers i can say it's still worth a lot of dough". i got up off the pillow i was resting on, walked slowly over to where he stood, and, because i was max, lifted my back leg and pee'd all over his big fat foot. then he started to cry. and i laughed and laughed and laughed.
now, i can't be sure, but i think i had that dream because mommy & daddy were less than impressed last night with the 2nd episode of a show they've described in the past as pretty freaking ball kickin' awesome! last night, it was, apparently, sort of freak-ee but not so much ball-kickin' and/or awesome. for a true "overview" (i.e. "daddy's review-ish rant") of last night's episode of the soprano's (along with his thoughts on that sluttywhore, meredith, on grey's anatomy) check out bobo banjoey.
i hope the sopranos gets better... mommy and daddy have so few joys in life, and, sadly, most of 'em seem to be tied in to a handful of television programs. i've said it before, but it does bear repeating... pity them. i know i do.
now, as long as i'm on the subject of television (and i am) i have a little 
tv related question: what in the wide wide world of sports is up with tom cruise?? i read this, and all i can say is he scares me. gotta love south park creators matt stone and trey parker tho'--mommy wonders how long before they do an episode (or film) called "the million-year war for earth" featuring tom cruise. i figure the kids will lure him back in stan's closet (maybe feature george "i did not write that blog" clooney, again as sparky, stan's gay dog) lock him (tom "i am a scary scary man" cruise) in, and throw away the key. (not a bad idea, really)
scientologists... can't live with 'em, can't make fun of 'em.

You put me to shame! That was great. That little Sophie has such a vivid imagination - who knew. As for Tom Cruise...please, please get over yourself because we're over you!
love you

Sopranos: I don't think it was that bad of an episode, granted it wasn't the best either. The best parts for me was watching 'the guys' interaction with eachohter. I guess I am most interested in seeing where that all goes. I am wondering if Tony's demise will be because of his constant seeking of approval and love from his family. That would be quite ironic. Anyway, I love the show and am waiting to see what happens next - maybe this will be like a boulder that just needs a little push to get its momentum.
Tom Cruise is a 1st class fruit loop. I think Tom is makig his way into Michael Jackson territory - and he should be quite frightened. I firmly believe had Micheal Jackson had people surrounding him who said "no" and brought to his attention when he was doing something that he shouldn't be doing or was wrong that he wouldn't have become the freak of nature that he is. I think that once people have so much money, so many people surrounding them saying "yes" and "kissing their asses" 24/7/365 that they loose touch with reality.... and once you've been gone for so long you never come back. Tom is the latest victim of not having any boundries anymore in life. Tom... I think Tom left for the mothership years ago, and we will never see him again.

cj i totally agree with you about tom... bless his mis-guided little heart!
and i hope you're right about the sopranos... cuz it would be nice to think the show could build from this week's episode! we would be sooooo happy if it ended as well as it started out a few years ago. actually, joel and i thought the last episode 2 years ago (before it went on "hiatus") was perfect. not sure why they came back! but i do think the whole seeking family love/approval is what the dream/coma sequence is all about... whatever, we're in this thing to the bitter end!
oh, i also agree with you that the dynamics between the rest of tony's "family" has some interesting potential... guess we'll have to wait 'n see... : )

jom! what a treat! i'm so glad you're writing... i just went over to "visit" you... and i'll link to you as soon as i figure out how to do it! i think a lot of folks will enjoy getting to "know" you... who knows? you may discover all kinds of new and interesting friends in the blogosphere (at least i hope so!)
seriously, i think blogging is a brilliant way to document your time in england... maybe even provide inspiration to others interested in studying abroad but fearful of doing so. you go girl!
thanks for letting me know you're doing this--can't wait to read more! oh, and happyhappy 1st day of spring!! : )

Oooh! A juicy post indeed! I am SO glad to hear I wasn't the only one who did not like the latest installment of the Sopranos! The first thing I wondered when it was finally over was where on earth the writers were planning on going with the storyline? To do this so early in the show can equal digging your grave! They'd better work their way out of the hole soon!
Tom Cruise... I never liked him and am at least glad the world knows what a freakin' nutjob he is now! I read somewhere that he is against a woman having sex during her pregnancy although I would not know how true those reports are though as I already read it in one place and never came across it in the better entertainment sites...
Did you read Parker and Stone's press release? Brilliant!
Miss Puppytoes, this bohemian just loooooveeees you!
