End of Summer Season on T.V.
Tonight was the finale for both Big Brother on CBS and America's Got Talent on NBC. Little doubt that NBC had a much better show to present to its viewers as the Big Brother show was essentially a boring and pointless show. NBC however did itself proud with the contestants and guest performers who graced the stage of Radio City Hall in NYC to learn who the vast audience had decided upon to win the huge prize of $1,000,000 and a year long contract to headline his or her own show.
The irony of the evening is that the winning contestant is from Japan but his performance so ignited a fire in the hearts and minds of Americans that he won the top prize easily and deservedly so. He was my personal pick as well. I will post a video from Youtube to accompany this entry if I can...It will follow this entry at least.
Big Brother had an accompanying show which is called Big Brother After Dark which has been a part of the show for several years. I cannot say when it began but I found it for this season's show so that I could watch the remaining houseguests spend a few hours before cameras live to learn what is really on their minds when the main show is over. If any were soap opera ready, I suspect that this is as good an audition as any could get.
America's Got Talent had a few problems imho with the judges who kept inserting their own personal opinions about who should win or who should not win too readily and frequently. Howie Mandel had already told everyone that Kenichi should win long before the finals came around. How that would impact another contestant is more than I can know but it may have made some more determined than ever to do well, but it may have discouraged others. I became a bit annoyed at the bashing of singers against the difficulty of comedians and other variety acts. It is singers who we listen to when in need of consolation, peace, quiet, or even a pick up instead of magicians or comedians or jugglers. So the bashing of the singers began to annoy me at times.
It is over. The jury decided to reward Andy instead of Gina Marie for his ability to be a snitch, a weasle, and a general pest the entire season. The jury is a bit stupid in my opinion for rewarding that kind of cold calculation as he called it. I think most of the audience disagreed with the jury altogether as most posts and comments have revealed.
As I said, i watched BBAD for my own personal reasons and I convinced myself that I was right to do so when the results would expose the fact that either thought transference or eavesdropping is actually ongoing. I am certain that certain cast members echoed my words in a way that made me know that anything I said was picked up and either heard or told to the cast members so that they could send it back.
This business of believing that every word I say or anyone around me says is used by the t.v. has been confirmed repeatedly and so I used BBAD for that very reason, to prove it one way or the other.
When Spencer said pixels on the last night of the show I knew very well that something had gotten through....I will let that be for a while.
End of my entry for now...will try to find a Kenichi video to post on here if I can do it.

Fall House Cleaning
Yesterday I received my order for a carpet steam cleaner so that I tried it immediately to see how it would work. I did the dining room first and then decided to do the living room as well. I loved the way the steam cleaner operated. I had thought I would wait until Monday to clean the bedroom, closet, and bathroom, but after I moved all the boxes out of the bedroom into the living room, I decided to go ahead and finish the entire job. So tonight the apartment is totally cleaned. It looks and feels better. I learned how much cat hair had penetrated into the carpet as well.
I bought the Hoover machine which was offered by HSN. I love it. I recommend it highly. It is incredibly easy to operate and does an excellent job in both its wash and rinse operations.
It has tired me out. I hope that I sleep well tonight. But a leak from the ceiling made me call maintenance so that i had a man come to repair the problem. What a time to have someone have to come into the apartment but I felt that I had to report it. Boxes and litter everywhere. I finally got everything back in place so that I can relax for the rest of the week.

L'Allee du Roi or The Way of the King Movie.
I just watched the movie based upon Chandenagor's novel about Madame de Maintenon, L'Allee du Roi, or the Way of the King. It was made in France and presented on France 2 t.v. I found it on my Youtube page so that I finally spent the evening watching this movie. I had read the book, so I am impressed with the faithfulness which the production team gave to the storyline. It is an excellent film, very respectful, sharing the many known facts of the famous love story.
Naturally, the mvoie made me think. I loved the scenes at the Chateau, and the references to the many known facts about the King and his Court. The first part of the movie deals with Francois d'Aubigne meeting Paul Scarron, a famous literary figure in Paris, a poet, and a host for many famous personalities of the times. Young Francois at the age of 16 decides to marry the poet rather than enter a convent. I do believe that there is some fiction in the early stages of her life, but the movie is tasteful despite the discretion of the famous Mistress. She was well loved for her ability to keep and maintain secrecy and anonymity about her affairs.
The second half of the film spends its time showing how she became an intimate of the King due to her care of his bastard children, whose real mother was Madame de Montespan. The famous Madame de Montespan and Madame de Maintenon make up most of the book but the movie places much emphasis on the King himself. The actor who portrays the King is excellent, as is the woman who portrays the role of Madame de Maintenon. Both are quite convincing in their roles.
I liked the movie very much. It gave me some entertainment and some recollections about the time that I discovered this bit of France's long history. Louis XIV has become a very special person to me since i learned of his life. I admired the effort given to making this film. I recommend it highly. But it is entirely in French without English subtitles. I will share the videos for those who wish to see it.
