Actualy I worked on Valentines Day, and but I watched the Velentines Day "Charlie Brown" cartoons and "House of Dark Shadows," but nothing any more substantial then that.

I liked the Whitney Housetn joke, Nevermore, all though I dont' like it when anyone dies as a result of drug abuse. She did have a few songs that I liked, all though I am not a huge fan.

I thought Whitney had am awesome voice. Shame the way things turned out. I actually caught an episode of American Idol last month, only because it was filmed here, and there was a girl who sang Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love you'. The girl absolutely nailed it! I'm expecting her to go deep into the show. Hopefully homegirl will win it.

The actual song starts at 1:40.

"I Will Always Love You" is not Whitney Houston's song. It is Dolly Parton's song, which Whitney covered memorably. Dolly wrote it for Porter Wagoner, her mentor, when she left his band.

I think Whitney had a good voice, but I was never a huge fan of hers. She blasted through her songs too much for my taste. I think that is the real reason her voice didn't hold up so well. Nobody's voice can go full-throttle like that all the time without damage.

I am sorry that she died untimely, especially so for her family's sake.

hummm, I would disagree with you. While she sang it well, I didnt think she "nailed it", she had too much vibrato in it for me, kind of sounded like she was standing on top of a car while it was driving down a dirt road.....I really hate when amateur singers do that, they sound like someone is just shaking them around or like R&B singers when they try to take that last note in the verse and string it out there for 3 min and pitch the note up and down endlessly...bleh...

Oh course, my favorite version of that song is Dolly's

I totaly agree, NeverMore. Whitney had a beautiful voice, and it truely is a shame. It was the same deal with Elvis Presley back in the Summer of 77. He might even still be alive today if not for the drugs. And it's not just famous people. Drugs, especialy crack and various other forms of cocane are becoming America's number one Killer.

Judy Garland, too. She and Elvis were both younger than Whitney.

That's why I said Whitney's version. She was obviously trying to emulate her and not Dolly.

She was standing on an aircraft carrier. Lots of vibrations. Heh heh...

No, you omitted the word "version" from your post (see above). But I do now appreciate that that's what you meant.

I'm reading the Walking Dead comics on my computer. Good thing they're in B&W!

You dog! How do you like it?

Do NOT... download Angry Birds. You'll never get anything productive done again. I think my favorite thing to do on my pad is reading books when going to bed. Don't have to turn on the lights and it turns itself off when I drift off to sleep.

As to what I'm doing now?
....
....
....
Playing Angry Birds.

I'm currently trying to get 3 stars on Angry Birds :) Once I get there on this level, I'll have total destruction on all levels! After I accomplish that, I'll get back to work...
