Larry King Live/ good writing/ actors

Dec. 19 Larry King Live: Larry King's last show was on Dec. 16. Arnold Schwarzenegger made Larry King Day. Bill Marh and Ryan Seacrest were co-hosts that night. There were subtitles that are tweets from celebs and regular people telling LK how great he is.

Barack Obama made a video to LK. Regis Feldman, Suze Orman, and Donald Trump made an appearance. Fred Armison (Saturday Night Live) wears the exact same outfit as LK. It was a black shirt, red suspenders, white and red polka dot tie. LK does know how to accessorize with the black watch and red bracelet.

Katie Couric, Diane Sawyer, Barbara Walters, and Brian Williams came on. DS on behalf of them gave LK suspenders with their names stitched on it.

KC read a poem to LK. It was funny and good mentioning how LK was the first one to get Paris Hilton's post- jail interview. They all gave a toast to LK.

Bill Clinton came on via satellite. Dr Phil even showed up.

LK's wife, two kids came on. LK's 10 yr old son Cannon did a good LK impression. The audience laughs. Anderson Cooper thanks LK for his show.

Tony Bennet sings in his concert in Lousiana. LK saw the performance via satellite. The song was "The Best is Yet to Come."

Good writing:

Action scenes: CSI: NY writes really good action scenes. There are some scenes where you can predict is going to happen because the bad guy's going to run. Det. Flack and Det. Messer are chasing a guy in the club.

Flack jumps down from the second floor onto a table below. So the table breaks. I expected the chase, but not the jump.

Here's another scene:

Cut to Det. Flack driving with a female suspect sitting in the back.
A Guy moves in front of the car, and Flack stops the car.
Then Guy points a gun at F, and he shoots at F and the female suspect.
Then two more guys points and shoots at F and the female suspect.

That made me jump because it came out of nowhere.

Dialogue: Also on CSI: NY, the team is trying to solve a murder of a woman named Isabelle. Flack is arresting a guy.

Flack: Do you know Isabelle? Well I'm going to introduce you to Miranda. You have the right to remain silent.

Oh that's good. lol.

Dec. 20 Rant: Today I woke up an hr earlier and then read my horoscopes, and the classified section looking for a job. That took 5 min. Then I took 50 min to read the A section of the Edmonton Journal. My sister says I'm a slow reader, and I was hogging it and that I was inconsiderate. She got to read the other sections and the two other newspapers we get.

I told her that I wanted to read the newspaper leisurely and at my own pace. If I had to go to work, I glance at the A section, and then I pick up a 24 newspaper and force myself to read that one faster while riding the bus.

On my days off I do spend one hr reading the newspaper, and then go to my job search. I have to have a little fun first and then I push myself to work. If I go straight to my job search, then I would feel like I want to read the newspaper and not concentrate on my work. However, I read the life, business, arts section of the 3 newspapers all in 1 hr. Then again it was a Monday so there isn't as much to read.

News: Did you know there's a place called Chihuahua City in Mexico? Seriously. It was an article about this woman's daughter who was murdered. The mother then held a vigil, and then she got shot there. Damn, that's harsh.

Then I read about making crafts as gifts for the holidays. I used to do more crafts as a kid.

Then I read more about Wikileaks. This could be a good story for a movie. A computer hacker that exposes the government. Except I need to delve into it a bit more.

Job search: I applied to 34 office jobs today.

Actors: I was watching Criminal Minds and I saw Leonard Roberts on. He's an African- American actor who played Riley's Initiative friend Forest on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I saw him on that old show Freakylinks. He was on Tru Calling for an ep. That was kind of cool to see him being reunited with Eliza Dushku (Faith on Buffy.)

Carl Lumbly was also CM. He plays a dad on Secret Life of the American Teenager.

John Schneider who used to play the dads to teenagers on Smallville, Secret Life, and 90210 was on Desperate Housewives. This time he played a dad to a grown man Brian Austin Green's character. Nancy Travis plays BAG's mom. She played a mom to a teen on that TV movie The Party Never Stops.

Does anyone remember Trent Ford? He played Mandy Moore's love interest in the 2003 movie How to Deal. He does this big movie, but then he does an ep of Smallville. I then saw him on The Vampire Diaries ep.

I was watching The Mentalist and there's this hot German model. I remember her as Preston's wife on Desperate Housewives. Also on Mentalist, I saw Christina Cox. She used to be on the vampire/ detective agency show called Blood Ties. I have seen her on Chronicles of Riddick.

On Mentalist, there was an ep called "Pink Chanel Suit." Doesn't that remind you of The Simpsons where Marge buys that pink chanel suit and gets into that country club? I saw Christine Rose (Mrs. Pettrelli from Heroes) on. She plays this uptight, rich mother which isn't too much of a stretch from her Mrs. Pettrelli role.

Keri Lynn Pratt guest- starred on the ep. She does a lot of TV like CSI: NY, and Veronica Mars.

Dec. 21 Charity: So my sister donated some food to the student food bank. The Christmas Bureau gives Christmas dinner to homeless people. I've donated to them before in 2003 and 2004. They're at the halfway mark to get their goal donation this year.

My sister has a problem with Santa's Anonymous about giving toys to poor children. She says she doesn't have a problem donating food or money to the food bank because that's necessary. Toys they can live without. I guess the kids could go to the library and read books. That's a good and educational way to entertain themselves.
