Thank goodness. After such a horrible season finale, 7th Heaven has a chance to redeem itself.
It has been picked up on the CW Network for one more season. My Monday nights will be complete again.

I can't dance
My students are learning a dance to "Men in Black" for our school's dance festival.
I am trying to learn it too.
Pitiful reminder of how bad I am at dancing.
I want to make a family website this summer.
Reformat the wedding site into a family one.
Not exactly sure what I want on it yet.
I am reading "Creating Family Websites for Dummies..."
I got me a nice sunburn this weekend, while sitting outside to read The DaVinci Code.
Very painful on my legs.
I'm so stoopid.
16 days of school left.
Two weeks.
Two half weeks.
Yikes.
Summer. Takes forever to come.
Flies by so fast.
I live my life like I play the Sims.
Looking impatiently forward to what will come next,
instead of enjoying the moment.
When will my Sims graduate from University?
Will their marriage plans work out?
What kids will they have?
When will my next vacation be?
How long until summer?
When is Cafe Oreleans reopening at Disneyland?
Bad habit I need to break.
"After all that we've been through, I know we're cool"

The DaVinci Code
In the past eight days I have:
Seen The DaVinci Code movie
Attended a talk by Josh McDowell at a nearby Church
Read a book called "The DaVinci Code: A Quest for Answers" by Josh McDowell
Reread "The DaVinci Code", by Dan Brown
I had planned to blog about my reaction to all of these things put together, but I feel as though the blog would be inadequate. My hope was to have some equal examination of both points of view: The theories presented in The DaVinci Code and why parts of them could be plausible, and the point of view that these theories are absolutely fictional in basis.
I understand that much more evidence than this would be needed to really come up with a historical response, but I was hoping to just come up with an intellectual one.
Unfortunately, I found McDowell's book, overall, to be extremely unhelpful.
First of all, it seemed to me that the McDowell was too interested in laughing at the characters and making subtle digs at the author. I could have done without the cheap shots.
Secondly, he tries to point out Brown's inaccuracies with a few examples of mistakes Brown made when describing architecture (the same examples he used both in his speech and in his book.) However, I was astounded to realize when I reread the novel, that Brown points out hundreds of "clues," and McDowell seems only to be able to refute a few of them. Not very convincing.
Granted, Brown claims at the beginning of his book that all descriptions of architecture and art are accurate and McDowell was able to find one mistake that I have confirmed thus far.
Next, McDowell sometimes argues irrelevant claims. I am not sure why he chooses to dispute claims that aren’t made in the book. For example:
McDowell states that Silas is referred to as a monk but that there are no monks in Opus Dei. However, the book refers to Silas as a monk because of the way he dresses, but when he officially announces himself, (or anyone officially talks about him) he is then referred to as a "brother," or a "numerary", which Opus Dei does have. So he is arguing a moot point. Brown never states in his book that Opus Dei has monks. He describes Silas as a monk from other's perspectives because that is how he appears.
Finally, and most irritatingly, every time McDowell made a really good point that I wanted to follow up on, he would reference me to another DaVinci code debunking book. How irritating. He complains about Dan Brown's sources, and yet many of his own (and most of which that claimed really intriguing points) simply refer to other authors who are clearly writing with the same agenda: "The Truth behind the DaVinci Code", "Breaking the DaVinci Code," "The DaVinci Deception," "DaVinci, Fact or Fiction." etc. This is not to say they are his only references. McDowell has many more. But again, almost every time he stated a fact and sited it that I was curious about the source, it was one of these books. Very frustrating.
So, as such, I do not recommend McDowell's book. Also, I feel I have much more research to do to look for the answer I want. If the authors of all these DaVinci-bunking books are merely a ring of authors quoting each other, I may have a problem. We'll see.
“…every faith in the world is based on fabrication. That is the definition of faith – acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that which we can not prove. Every religion describes God through metaphor, allegory, and exaggeration, from the early Egyptians through modern Sunday school. Metaphors are a way to help our minds process the unprocessible. The problems arise when we begin to believe literally in our own metaphors.” – The DaVinci Code

The Da Vinci Code Message Boards
I've been hanging out over at the Da Vinci Code message boards on the IMDB and I have found some thread titles that were quite amusing.
For example:
"Is atheism a religion?"
"There is more truth to the Da Vinci Code then the Bible, True or False?"
"what has God done for us lately? Let's see..."
"The DaVinci COde is setting the stage for the Antichrist!!!"
"I bet a lot more athiests will be praying..."
"Why Christianity is fake"
"Who are you guys talking to"
"This is about movies. Not GAYS or RELIGION please respect"
"To all the ITS JUST FICTION parrots"
"STOP IT! I'M JEWISH! AAAAGGGHHHH!"
"If we evolved from monkeys, how come there are still monkeys today?"
"Can anyone be intelligent and religious?"
"Why did God give us unwanted body hair if we came from Adam and Eve?"
"INTELLIGENT DESIGN"
"Regarding all the "Why do Christians say I'm going to hell" questions."
"This book was written on a fourth grade reading level."
"Jesus Saves"
"Athiests - IF GOD WERE PROVEN TO EXIST"
"You guys need therapy"

Hooray for Hollywood
So this weekend, Grant and I went to LA! We took the train up after school on Friday (It was very close, the train pulled up a minute after we got on the platform... yikes!)
We arrived at Union sation and took the redline to Hollywood and Highland and checked into the Marriott Reniassance Hotel at Hollywood and Highland. Our room was on the 14th floor, overlooking the Hollywood hills.
Then we hopped back on the redline and took it to Hollywood and Vine, where we walked to the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood to see The Da Vinci Code. COmplete with protesters and a news van. Sweet!
After the movie we went to dinner at Miceli's Restaurant which was very cool, complete with a piano player and at an opera singer and great Italian food.
Finally, we swung by Coldstone Creamery at Hollywood and Highland before heading abck to our room to watch some TV and go to bed.
On Saturday we went to Universal Studios. We went ahead and got an Annual Pass, which is good because Fear Factor Live was closed, and that was the one thing we wanted to see because it was new since we'd last been.
And I was SO excited (Ok my nerdiness comes out, again, here) on the tram tour we went by the old courthouse square... you know, my favorite part where the clock tower scenes from Back to the Future were filmed... Yeah, well its dressed up for something else, and it happens to be one of my current favorite TV shows... Ghost Whisperer!!! The courthouse Sqare is the Grandview Mainstreet, complete with the plants, the memorial in the middle, and on the left "Same as it Never Was" antiques shop!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! How cool is that???
We left Universal at about 6 and had dinner at the City Walk before catching the redline back to our hotel to pick up our bag, and then taking the redline to the Union Sation to catch the Amtrak home.
What a great weekend, and I still have all day today!

why i do not like the frat brothers
Ok, the frat brothers are like mean ol' bullies. They are just like those jerks who keep talking trying to make people feel bad and deflect what they've done.
You know those people. They are jerks, and do jerky things. And then, someone plays along, follows thier game, jumps in... so the jerks wine and loudly talk abou what the other people did, becasue they are mad that they got a taste of their own medicine. They're goal is to embarrass and make the others feel guilty.
The worst part about jerks like that is when they prey on those that actually have a conscience... because the guilt trip can sometimes work.
When BJ and Tyler beat the frat boys in a paddle race to the pit stop, the boys were embarrassed and angry that they'd lost, and loudly in fromt of Phil, complained that the hippies were "playing dirty" because they mislead the frat boys about a clue... Thne frat boys saying the hippies are playing dirty? Thats the pot calling the kettle black... the frat boys once called the taxi company and canceled everyone's taxis! The most annoying thing was that they wouldn't shut up about it! It was irritiating...
God, I hope the hippies win!
TTOW!!!!!

Subscribers!
Well, Its official. Grant and I are subscribers to the Orange County Performing Arts Center Broadway series. WOW!
Grant and I have talked about it often in the past, but we've always opted not to, due to the expense.
This year, I had decided to get the tickets for Grant and I for my first year anniversey present to him (built in dates throughout the year, plus, traditionally, the first year gift is supposed to be paper, right?)
SO last week, Grant says to me, "Hey! Let's get season tickets to the broadway season at the Performing Arts Center!"
"Well," I stutter, "Isn't it kind of expensive?"
"Come on, we've talked about it, and I know you want to!"
sigh. "yes Grant. I do..." IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR ANNIVERSERY GIFT!!! grr..
Well, see, on the bright side, that's why we belong together. We think alike, and like the same stuff!
So this season, we will be seeing:
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Sweet Charity starring Molly Ringwald
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Annie
The Light in the Piazza
All Shook Up
Pippin
Chita Rivera - A Dancer's Life
Mamma Mia!
Riverdance

And the most disappointing finale ever goes to...
The 7th Heaven Series Finale was tonight, and it was majorly dissapointing.
The first 50 minutes (of the one hour episode, mind you) was the same Simon and Rose, will they or won't they get married debate. Sigh. Then, they come back from a commercial, and show everyone at the reception!! (Waaaa? What happened to the wedding? Well they keep us guessing for the next 8 minutes...)
In the mean time, they squeeze in that Matt and Sarah are pregnant with twin boys, Lucy and Kevin are pregnant with twin boys, oh and Carlos and Mary (who calls - and doesn't even join the family in person) are back together and, guess what? They're pregnant with twin girls.
Uh huh...
SO then, Sandy shows up with her baby and Simon explains that he and Rose were NOT married. They both realized that they shouldn't go into a marriage so undecided. (Good decision - 1 thing that made me happy)
And then Sandy says, "Did Rose talk to you about the baby?"
Simon says, "No.."
and Sandy says, "We need to talk." and the freakin episode ends. Waaaa???
So lets start with the positive:
Rose and Simon don't get married.
Carlos and Mary are back together.
Mary is suprising her parents with the fact that she is graduating from college.
Mary, Sarah, and Lucy are pregnant.
The negatives:
Mary, Sarah, and Lucy are pregnant... with twins (how unbelievably cheesy corny retarded is that? You could argue that fraternal twins are genetic, but that doesn't exactly help Sarah's case... and besides... at the same time??? whatever.)
Mary comes back for a "what if" sequence with the family, but doesn't appear in real time with the family... which she should have... this is the series finale! A phone call doesn't cut it! I'm glad Jessica Biel came back for the episode, but it should have been more connection with her family. Even if she only came in at the very end. It would not have been unlikely for her to show up for a wedding.
Dropping a bomb by implying that Simon might be the father of Sandy's baby. I mean, I understand that they want us to realize that life with the Camdens is going to continue, but seriously... a bomb like that in the series finale?? Totally unneeded. That's more like a season finale cliff hanger. Series finales are supposed to tie up loose ends, not create a bunch more!
Where was Martin?
No emotion. Except for a couple of flashbacks, there was very little different about this episode then any other. I didn't get all weepy (I can cry at the drop of a hat, especially on goodbye episodes...) I mean, it was so empty, with so much crammed in the last 10 minutes, most of which was idiotic.
that's it??
I seriously hope the show comes back on the new CW station. That the script was so bad, because they really believed that they were coming back, so they left a cliff hanger...
If this was truly the last episode, they should have ended it with Matt and Sarah's graduation from Med School, which was happening the next day, or with Mary's graduation, or some big momentous ceremony or event, that left us believing that life was good, the family was together for a special event, and some hints about the heppy future they would have together...
...an ending is not a 50 minute, will-they won't-they build up to a half-assed wedding that didn't even happen... followed by 10 minutes of hurried conversations to tie up loose ends in the crappiest manner possible, only to put the icing on the cake by dropping a bomb that could totally alter the course of a major character's life...
...and not one tear. Not even a sniffle.

Vote for your favorite Survivor
Watch Survivor? Terry made it to the final four, which by default gets him to the final 3. hee hee.
Anyways you can vote for your favorite Survivor to win a new GMC.
I voted for Cerie, because Terry already won. It was between Cerie and Dan, the astronaut for me, and I thought with three younger kids she could possibly use it more.

Hodge Podge
I love the new Strawberry Mini-wheats. They're not as good as the old kind, but I dig them.
I rode my bike home from school yesterday. That was fun. I might try to do that once or twice a week. It really wiped me out, though.
I am so sad Paris was voted off American Idol. I think she is SO GOOD, and truly an American Idol.
I love 24, but it stresses me out so much!!! I almost bit Grant's head off the other night while I was watching it because he asked me a question in the middle of a particularly stressful part.
I hate state testing.
I am SO EXCITED that Rosie is going to be on The View in September.
Bye now.
