  1. only half my weekend actually….ramadan starting means the first 2 races of the season are saturday races….pain in the arse kinda as now ive got to fit watching in between all the other saturday stuff

    anyways…somewhat annoyingly going by qualifying it looks like it might be another season of rocketship max….im really quite bored of hearing our national anthem

  2. These highlights of Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren from last night’s game between the Spurs and Thunder are amazing.

    Holmgren gets a lot of good plays in, but what happens at the end is going to be going around forever.

     

    • I watched everyone of Chet’s college games & I have to admit, I didn’t see him being as good as he is.  I thought he would get broken in half with his stick body.  I still think OKC will get beat bad by an experienced lower seed in the playoffs but Chet has been great.

  3. When we did our major home renovation I searched architects & design for months.  I kept coming back to one architect’s style & so wanted him to design my home but unfortunately, he is in Australia & I probably couldn’t afford him anyway.  This is one of my favorites of his.

  4. I’m just here for the roller disco

  6. Is it just me, or does the arched stone cellar in photo three look like it needs either a dominatrix or a vampire to complete it?

  7. Last night’s episode of “Hawaii 5-0” begins with an overhead shot of a dapper older gentleman walking along a cliffside path. He turns around. Oh no! There’s a car. He starts running but the car pursuing him, a red Granada we learn, slams into him and sends him flying off the cliff. We have seen this cliff many times before. It must be especially scenic.

    So a hit-and-run, they think, but the victim is a Canadian MP. So they don’t blow this off. From what is on him they learn that he was staying at the Ilikai Hotel. The Ilikai! It was nice to return there, we haven’t been there in a few episodes, although granted we’re skipping around. It’s like roulette. Russian roulette, given how murderous Oahu was in the 1970s if this show is anything to go by.

    They search his room and find an empty envelope addressed to him with a return address. Steve McGarrett pays the address a little call. He’s after a woman named Linda, but her very frosty and uncooperative sister, Diana, with whom she lives, tells him that Linda is a stewardess and off on a flight to LA.

    McGarrett asks for Linda’s address book. Remember those? I still have mine, somewhere. He discovers that there’s only one male name so he decides to check this out.

    It’s a pilot who is at the Ilikai in a hot tub. It dawned on me that there’s a lot of beefcake on “Hawaii 5-0” and hardly any tits and ass, like on “Three’s Company.” Turns out (this gets very convoluted and I was slipping in and out of consciousness) that the pilot is “dating” both sisters. Shortly thereafter he meets up with Diana, who, I should actually clarify, is a blonde uptight librarian stereotype, and tells her he’s transferring to Seattle. Diana begs the pilot to be very careful when he tells Linda, because she’s very fragile and is probably a schizophrenic. Linda is a brunette with a Dorothy Hamill haircut, crazy eyes, and very startling smile. She has a great stewardess outfit, though, cardinal red, with those somewhat triangular caps the stewardess used to wear. Just to pull back a little bit, so Linda had the MP and the pilot and my boyfriend Danno remarks to Steve, “Those stews get around.” Stews!

    The pilot is in his room at the Ilikai and he’s talking to Linda and he says, “There’s really no point but I’m going for a swim so meet me downstairs in ten or fifteen minutes.” More beefcake, because he is found dead in the…artificial lagoon it looked like.

    Diana tells Steve that Linda has asked to meet with her at a florist at some shopping mall. Diana has told Linda that she has had enough and never wants to see her again.

    Steve goes to the mall’s parking lot and decides to follow her. She’s driving a very strange-looking cobalt blue…I don’t what it must have been. An experimental model that was discontinued? Steve of course is in his two-door, which is the size of a squash court. Up into the mountains they go. Eventually they get to a small cemetery. Linda goes to a simple grave adorned only by a cross. Linda lays the huge bunch of roses from the mall florist on the ground and drapes a lei over the cross.

    Steve walks up to her. “Why did you kill Linda all those years ago?” and pulls Diana’s wig off. Very “Three Faces of Eve!” Yes. The same actor was playing these two different parts and you would never guess in a million years that they were the same woman. So then we see that the name on the cross is Linda and Diana is led away by Steve.

    PS: This episode was directed by Jack “Steve McGarrett” Lord so we’re drifting into late-stage “Hawaii 5-0.”
