<\/a>This is a picture of \u201cPersepolis--the Hall of 100 Columns.\u201d Get it? 100 columns??? <\/p><\/div>\n
Right up front, I want to thank Mr. X for always encouraging me, my mystery web manager (what\u2019s with all my men who don\u2019t want to be identified?,) my friends, publicists I\u2019ve enjoyed working with, and most of all, you, the readers. If a tree fell in the forest\u2026.<\/p>\n
So, here are just some quick random thoughts, as my kooky way of celebrating my 100th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\u3000<\/p>\n
TELEVISION THOUGHTS<\/p>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
Here\u2019s my one-word review of the series finale of Lost<\/em>: HUH????????????<\/p>\nAnyway, I don\u2019t feel like I wasted all those hours and years watching the show–it was what it was. I just wish I knew <\/em>what it was! Oh well. And it would\u2019ve been nice if they hadn\u2019t left so many questions unanswered.<\/p>\nIs this report true: American Idol <\/em>is boring Simon Cowell??? Think how WE feel!!!!<\/p>\nAll these season, and series(!), finales this week are making me sad. Well, actually, Idol <\/em>and Dancing With the Stars <\/em>had the weakest seasons ever for me. But I really will miss 24<\/em> and Lost<\/em>. I think.<\/p>\nI wish that NBC would create Medium Loser<\/em>, so I could go on it and lose a few pounds.<\/p>\nTonight, the winner of Dancing With The Stars <\/em>will be announced. It just won\u2019t be fair if Nicole Scherzinger doesn\u2019t win. She\u2019s the best, by far, and as even the inane Carrie Anne Inaba declared last week that Nicole is the best celeb they ever had on there! I really hate when things aren\u2019t fair, so I\u2019m dreading the results, just in case. (And if that really annoying Erin wins, I\u2019m afraid that Mr. X won\u2019t ever watch the show again. How did that chick with a voice like nails on a chalkboard get a job in sportscasting to begin with???)<\/p>\nIt\u2019s also not fair if Crystal Bowersox doesn\u2019t win Idol <\/em>this week. But that show is rarely fair, with its unlimited votes from dorks. So, we\u2019ll see. That<\/em> winner really doesn\u2019t matter, though, because talent often winds-up winning out in the music biz, over time.<\/p>\nAnd then, just when I think I can relax and stop being so tied to TV, So You Think You Can Dance <\/em>starts up again! Only this time with a really dumb idea to have just ten contestants, rather than the usual twenty. This is so they can feature dancers from past seasons, many of whom we were happy to see go. But it\u2019s their copy-cat idea from DWTS<\/em>–to use one known-to-the-audience-already dance partner. I say, if it aint\u2019 broke, don\u2019t ruin<\/em> it! They need to go back to the old format of dancers, the old stage, and the old rotating judges. But get a new, very much less annoying, host. There\u2019s an idea for them!<\/p>\n\u3000<\/p>\n
SPORTS THOUGHTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/span>I sure hope the Suns win their series against the Lakers! That wonderful Steve Nash is sure one hell of a tough guy! Did you see his nose get broken by Derek Fisher\u2019s head in that game on Sunday? Without skipping a beat, literally, he just tried to push it back into place as he ran down the court! My favorite shot was of teammate Grant Hill in the background, looking horrified as he reached-out to help Steve. It looked like he was watching Saw III<\/em>!<\/p>\nMuch as I would love Lebron James to become an LA Clipper or NJ (soon to be Brooklyn) Net, so I would have many more chances to see him play in person, I really hope that he opts to stay in Cleveland. That city needs him. (I have a feeling he will, now that management, unnecessarily, fired Mike Brown, the Cavs\u2019 coach.) I would vomit if he joined that thug, Joachim Noah, on the Chicago Bulls. I\u2019d hate to have my favorite player and my most reviled on the same team. It would remind me of having me and my sister in the same family. [Note: I used incorrect grammar there, but I had to put \u201cme\u201d first in that sentence to match the order of the sentence before: \u201cfavorite\u201d before \u201creviled.\u201d]<\/p>\n
Go Yanks and Mets!!!<\/p>\n
SITE THOUGHTS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nI wrote about this once before, but we\u2019re still having a bit of technical trouble with the \u201cComments\u201d section, so please bear with us. Many of the ones that come in are automatically \u201cspammed,\u201d so we can\u2019t approve them. And about 90% of the ones that were already approved as of a couple of months ago were deleted by new software recently, and we couldn\u2019t get them back. But we\u2019re always working on the issue.<\/p>\n
I really thank everyone for getting in touch with me, whether it be in the comments section or by email, and I really do read every missive that comes in. It\u2019s a bit better to post your thoughts in \u201cComments,\u201d though, because it\u2019s easier for me to answer readers there. My email gets over-loaded constantly, so half of what comes in disappears before I even get to read them. And, if you\u2019re not in my contacts already, chances are I won\u2019t even see what you wrote, and I\u2019d hate to miss what someone took their time to send me.<\/p>\n
I really welcome what every reader has to say, so please keep those notes coming, even if they get here by Pony Express!<\/p>\n
\u3000<\/strong><\/p>\nSOME EMAIL QUESTIONS ANSWERED<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nHere are answers to just a very small sampling of emails I get about INAM:<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re interested in a specific event or review, and you don\u2019t see it posted right away, please check back soon. You know me–I try to get to everything! The last time I slept was 2005!<\/p>\n
And if site goes down, as can happen to anyone, please bear with us and keep checking . I know last week was pretty gnarly in that category, but it\u2019s all worked-out now, knock on wood.<\/p>\n
I know I\u2019ve been promising a podcast, to bring you a mini version of my show, and we hope to have it up and running by Autumn. (I spend the summer in NY, so there will be no time available until then.)<\/p>\n
I\u2019m happy to take suggestions of what else you\u2019d like my opinions on. I think that among all my interests, from restaurants to beauty to theatre to television and movies to sports, as Martin Mull once told me when he guested on my show, I \u201chave it pretty well covered, in terms of the universe.\u201d But I could always be over-looking a topic, so please feel free to ask for it. I\u2019m always planning a \u201cGrammar\u201d section, but there\u2019s just never enough time. I\u2019ll try to begin it on a slow activity day.<\/p>\n
So, that\u2019s it for my 100th<\/sup>! Thank you to everyone again, and happy milestone to me! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n(And if you like the site, please pass it on to your pals. As with many things in life, the more, the merrier.)<\/p>\n
