oh, the hype...

What were the last shows to generate this much hype when they went off the air? "Seinfeld?" "Cheers?" This entire week, NBC has been one big "Friends" fest. But, truth be told, I'm feeling all nostalgic about the end of the show. 10 years! The show debuted my freshman year of college. That seems like another lifetime. And I hate the expectation that's built up. Is there any way the finale can possibly meet the hype?

It's also got me thinking about other series finales that left me whimpering. "Family Ties" with the final bow. "Buffy" and Anya! But the one that got me the most was the final episode of "Star Trek: TNG." I wanted that show to go on forever. I think I sobbed for the entire two hours.

Are there any series finales that stuck with you? Ones you were anticipating? Ones with big twists? Ones that completely let your down (Seinfeld) or left you hanging (Dynasty)?

Also...mtv has a vote for the best movie awards performance. Vote for 'Nysnc here. Cornrow Justin. Mmmmm.

Eeeeeeeee!

Harry! Ron! Hermione! Sirius! Remus! Snape!!!

JUNE 3RD!

That was so much more stressful than it needed to be and I let it all out on poor kittenfishlambs but we got our PoA line party/advance screening tickets!

Expecto Patronum!

that was perfect...

Absolutely perfect and just what I needed. I want more. Please?

Poor powrhug called me right after the credits and was treated to the sobbing mess. It seems I squeak.

Of the disappointing...I learned that two of the magazines I sent to the school can't be used. "Teen People" and "J-14" are too mature for the kids. References to kissing are apparently unacceptable. I wish I'd known in advance. I could have sent "Nat'l Geo for Kids" or other kids science magazines. Now I'm going to have to win them over with my charm alone. ;)

Fun and love to everyone going to JC's Chicago shows! Have a fantastic time tomorrow!

Now, a few chapters of the 1840's Viggorli AU before bed.
