Limbo


Season 7 Magnum P.I

 My brother and I watched Limbo. Which should have been the last episode of Magnum P.I (Tom Selleck)

Magnum is killed in a warehouse, having been ambushed. ( The ambush may be something of a ret con)

Selleck wanted to quit Magnum- He had been the first choice to play Indiana Jones.  but good ratings in part due to Frank Sinatra guest starring in Laura, and better writing made the CBS network write Selleck a cheque. I think season 6 is pretty forgettable In contrast  I really have enjoyed season 7. A lot of people like Laura,  which is the episode with Old Blue Eyes which in contrast I find hard going. I note that you can actually buy a copy of Frank Sinatra's Hawaiian shirt from Laura

I would have liked to have seen Sinatra return though 

It is a pity because this episode is a bittersweet classic. From the cold opening with TS fighting for his life and sweating hard in the back streets of Honolulu. Honolulu is the State Capital of a tourist paradise. It is also a colonial city next to a garrison, Season 7 has let us see some of the bugs on Lei flowers

  With Thomas following Jordan Peterson's advice and tidying his room  it reminds one of Quantum leap. TS talks Michelle through a car chase.  I have put off watching Limbo. Like all good thing, I did not want it to end. Alas we will never get a follow up series 

I really enjoyed it.

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment. Yes I am aware I have a child’s musical taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOcQnWbk_U&feature=related I used to catch this song,on one of the music channels, a few years ago.  I liked it. Its a nice enough song.  Stacey O, is a sweet young lady. Who tired of the music business and became a volunteer in Africa. I have been listening to it all day today. I downloaded if from Amazon. It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Malchera in High school

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
