. It's like my brother-in-law who hated LotR and thought that "The Fast and the Furious" should have swept the Oscars. We've started taking the exact opposite of his movie advice, and been quite pleased with the result.

His hatred began with the Two Towers, where, he claimed, absolutely nothing was in focus, and it made him physically sick.

The part of the story he leaves out is that he was sitting on the second row of the theater in front of an enormous screen.

Of course, ever since then he's assumed that there are underhanded deeds going on in Hollywood, and that Peter Jackson must be buying all of the critics Cadillacs so that they say nice things about his awful movie.

Hmmm... I've always liked "Imagine". The main thing I like about it is that I was at an Our Lady Peace concert and Raine (their lead singer) played an awesome version of it on piano, all by himself. That was probably the most emotional moment I've ever had at a concert. It just seemed perfect.

returning to Bette Midler, is anyone tempted to sing one of her other songs with the lyrics "Did you ever know that I'm your hero? / I'm everything you want to be / and you can fly higher than an Eagle / Because I am the wind beneath your wings"

Once or twice.

Much less often than I want to sing, "When I see you smile.... I can taste the world.  Whoa-oh."
