Season 2 Episode 16

Since I mentioned the show 9-1-1 in a previous post, I might as well mention the Monday shows that I watch. This will cover things that aired throughout Mondays in midseason 2023 even though they didn’t all air at the same time. Other than 9-1-1, the shows that I watched on Mondays are Alert, Quantum Leap, The Good Doctor, NCIS, and NCIS: Hawaii.

 

The next Money Rock song is called Where the Money Goes which covers what all people spend money on over the course of time. It is hard to better explain in song where all money goes.

The boss of Tower of the gods is Gohdan. It has to keep the fight fair as it is a hero training ground and they want the person to pass in some way even while trying to kill you and not having helpful ways to heal yourself like other boss stages before this. The game is kind of nutty in some ways while trying to be easier than it could be. What is interesting about this video is how it sets up to the next one that I might not have included otherwise without the extra part to it.

Coming up next in Songs from the Heart is The Last Rose Fantasia by Celtic Woman. I have never really liked this song, but you’ll get to what I hate most from this concert later at the very end. It just seems like a bunch of noise and a way of passing the time after the last song before the next one. It might have worked better in the Isle of Hope tour, the only Celtic Woman concert I’ve seen in person.

March Madness update: The other thing that I mentioned in my Survivor blog about which teams to root for in March Madness related to certain states provided that they keep whoever their current governor was in 2020. Thus, since both Oregon and Nevada are out of automatic teams to root for in the future since they both have had new governors elected. The states that still have people that I want around are Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Washington, California, New Jersey, Delaware, and New Mexico. I felt that the governors of those states did one or two things right. There are also some of them that I want to criticize for a pro-choice alliance, but that’s not something I’m going to mention in this blog. I will instead mention that here:

There is a lot to talk about from this old Madam Secretary blog post. I talk about there being potential anti-teams with March Madness. I don’t really do them ever as it just doesn’t really work for me or make sense. I also talk about how they changed where one of the hosts was as North Carolina was not hosting with South Carolina replacing it. While North Carolina hosted again, it wasn’t until this year until the original planned host city wound up hosting again.

 

There were two interesting facts in regards to the host change. One was that there was an upset of a lower seeded South Carolina team beating a North Carolina team that’s mentioned in the post and a North Carolina team wound up winning the tournament. There has not yet not been a case of controversy changing a location since this happened, which is weird since it could have easily happened again.

 

Teams in the tournament from North Carolina in 2017 were Wake Forest, North Carolina Central, UNC Wilmington, Duke, and North Carolina. I rooted for all of them. Kansas also wound up being a team that I root for this time around. If those teams are underlined, they were in the tournament this year and I’m rooting for them again. Note that UNC Asheville was in the tournament this year instead of UNC Wilmington. There were mistakes in this blog post such as forgetting the word with after we begin and saving wave when I should have said waves. I also talk about the annoying neurotypical habit of doing the opposite of what you are told to do.

The next acrostic poem that I’m going to write is on the state of Mississippi. It is also known for having elections in the year between the midterms and the presidential election. I won’t talk about that here. Instead, enjoy this poem.

 

Mostly seen as a crazy state

It can have its benefits

Such as cheap gas

Scenery that’s good to look at

If you want to go there

Seeing great things

Such as rivers and the ocean

It can be worth the visit

Please go there sometime

Point to a good location

I see Mississippi

 

Movie update: For the potential foreseeable future, I may not see any movie on any of my lists for a while. I just don’t have the time and want to stay caught up on some other things as well. I will include these if and when I feel I have the time for them again. Assume no movies from any list were watched until you see this part in this blog again at some point. I will update you one final time on the list should this season ends because at the end of this season, I will post one tentative last update of that in this blog before moving it back to my Survivor blog on the posts on season 45.

 

The first part has a person who was a cleaner seemingly killing people. But it is a guy, unlike the killer cleaner from the second Johnny English movie. Maxine doesn’t want to stay with her family as they aren’t safe at the moment. Well, that is what I can understand about the scene. Another crime scene with a dead woman named Molly is investigated. They tested for two poisons, one of them arsenic. Was the other old lace? There is an outbreak in the lab with Sonja being poisoned by Molly’s body.

 

The second part had Sonja in the hospital with the others okay. I am thinking that Molly was the random dead woman from the previous episode. Pete says that since he had a way of targeting serial killers, the police ruined it and now chaos will ensue. Chaos already happened on CBS and it didn’t last long since it started so late in the season. But these people were just people with mental health disorders.

 

The team looks at the convenient recording of autopsy which I guess they do for some reason? At some point, some previously unseen Ron calls the team on the phone and taunts them as he tries to hunt a new person down and they don’t know what he means as he talks weirdly. Ron is the silver ink killer.

 

The third part has the team wondering how Ron had all of their phone numbers. Jack, the brother of Sonja, feels that for some reason, he should have been the one doing the autopsy as they seek to find out what poison it is that they are dealing with and he is angry. Penny thinks that there is code of some sort or math equation. The team still can’t figure out the poison identification. The evil Ted is taken to a hospital.

 

The fourth part has the team still frantic to find people with a time frame of hours only being used. Sonja is in a coma by now. Ron isn’t doing much, it seems. Ron calls them again and seems to gravitate towards Allie for some reason. They still have a hard time identifying the chemical used in the poisoning. The formula is hinting at an event at a mental hospital that will cause mass causalities.

 

The fifth part brings the team to the targeted building with half an hour to clear everyone from the building and stop his plan from happening. While they catch Ron, they still need to get to the bomb. Its gas gets contained just in the nick of time as it is set to go off. Penny wants to know what another note means with Beau saying that it doesn’t matter anymore. Ron is arrested and the team seems to do better. Even Sonja seems to be doing better, which is good. There are no scenes from next time so I guess that I’ll see you whenever it works out. I’ll want to be back to normal at some point. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Season 2 Episode 15

If by now you haven’t yet heard, there is a season 3 of this show coming in the future. That will be something that I hopefully am caught up on by then as hopefully there will not be much going on in my life then or others close to me. Also, since I had started doing the acrostic poems in this blog because of the warning over a post in my Madam Secretary blog that is still unexplained, note that starting next season, there will be Persian paragraphs to come.

 

Why Persian? Well, the post in question from my Madam Secretary blog included a Russian paragraph. I’m not sharing one in Russian again and will instead do Persian. The only roadblock is getting caught up on last season’s finale of Survivor…

 

Continuing on with more of Money Rock, the next song in question is $7.50 Once a Week. This is about an allowance and budgets. If I ever had kids, I might give them an allowance since birth with them getting the money in person at a certain age, but the rest going to a bank saving account in the meantime before that. I might even get them a CD, that is, a certificate of deposit.

Going to the sub boss from Tower of the gods, we get to a Darknut which must be fought to get the hero bow to defeat the boss of the dungeon. I do wonder why all of the bosses let there be an item that can defeat them in the dungeon they reside in. At least in this case, they want you to prove yourself and defeat the dungeon.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm54WMXUZMY

 

The last song to share from Trolls is Can’t Stop the Feeling and now I’m going to share the music video that goes along with it this time around. It is a good song and one that I will always dance to if it plays at a wedding that I’m at.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ru0K8uYEZWw

 

I should do a note that Trolls 2 songs might potentially come later. I have not yet seen that movie which is the only real reason why I don’t yet just start it right away. I hope to do that this summer, but am unsure right now if I will or not.

 

Continuing on with more of Songs from the Heart, the next song that begins the first act is the fan favorite and one of the best Celtic Woman songs: Nil Se’n La. It was seen as the second Celi song named after a song from A New Journey. My only complaint about this song is that the drum solo in it isn’t on the CD as well.

Football team ranking update: I’m going to mention the three unranked teams for now in what is essentially the final update of mine ranking the football teams. Those 3 teams are the Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens, and Washington Commanders. My only potential current preference for a ranking among them are Commanders, Ravens, and Cowboys, but that isn’t set in stone.

 

So what’s the complete ranking of football teams that I root for currently? They are: 1- Los Angeles Rams, 2- San Francisco 49ers, 3- Kansas City Chiefs, 4- Indianapolis Colts, 5- Las Vegas Raiders, 6- Pittsburg Steelers, 7- Tennessee Titans, 8- Denver Broncos, 9- Los Angeles Chargers, 10- Jacksonville Jaguars, 11- Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 12- Houston Texans, 13- Miami Dolphins, 14- Philadelphia Eagles, 15- Carolina Panthers, 16- Cleveland Browns, 17- Cincinnati Bengals, 18- Minnesota Vikings, 19- Detroit Lions, 20- Green Bay Packers, 21- Seattle Seahawks, 22- New York Jets, 23- New York Giants, 24- New Orleans Saints, 25- Buffalo Bills, 26-28: unranked, (everything after this bad team), 29- Atlanta Falcons, 30- Arizona Cardinals, 31- Da Chicago Bears, and 32- New England aka Fucking Patriots.

 

March Madness update: After the 2020 tournament was cancelled and then the 2021 was largely relocated, I mentioned at the time that these places would have teams rooted for that are around this area until they are able to host. Still haven’t hosted yet: Albany, New York; Spokane, Washington; St. Louis, Missouri; Tampa, Florida; Greensboro, North Carolina; Omaha, Nebraska; Sacramento, California; Cleveland, Ohio; Los Angeles, California; Houston, Texas; New York City, New York; and Atlanta, Georgia from 2020’s planned hosts and Providence, Rhode Island; Boise, Idaho; Detroit, Michigan; Dallas, Texas; Wichita, Kansas; Lexington, Kentucky; Raleigh, North Carolina; San Jose, California; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Denver, Colorado; Memphis, Tennessee; and Brooklyn, New York from 2021’s planned hosts.

 

Now which of these places are hosting in 2023? If I underlined them, then they are hosting this year. Sacramento, California is hosting rounds 1 and 2. Albany, New York is also hosting rounds 1 and 2. Greensboro, North Carolina is a third place hosting the first two rounds. Denver, Colorado is the fourth of those that are hosting this time. New York City, New York is hosting part of the sweet sixteen and elite eight. Houston, Texas is hosting the last three games: the semi-finals and championship. I might mention if it was the same colleges hosting in these same cities later.

 

This leaves the following places still left to host after having not been able to in 2020: Spokane, Washington; St. Louis, Missouri; Tampa, Florida; Omaha, Nebraska; Cleveland, Ohio; Los Angeles, California; and Atlanta, Georgia. This also leaves the following places still left to host after having not been able to in 2021: Providence, Rhode Island; Boise, Idaho; Detroit, Michigan; Dallas, Texas; Wichita, Kansas; Lexington, Kentucky; Raleigh, North Carolina; San Jose, California; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Memphis, Tennessee; and Brooklyn, New York.

 

One last thing to mention for now regarding this is that the states of New Jersey and Nevada were at one point banned from hosting March Madness, but that has ended in recent years. Thus, Las Vegas is now hosting this year. This makes me a bit annoyed as all of these places mentioned in the previous paragraph still needing to have their fair turn, but haven’t yet, and these states can somehow get into hosting pretty quickly.

 

In the next cast update from my CSI: Cyber blog, I mention a show and I wonder, has the cancellation of said show, The World’s Best, ever been made official? It is hard to tell for sure and I don’t really know.

Since it is now time to do an acrostic poem on a country, I’m going to do one on the country of Venezuela. It is quite an infamous country in the present age given how people like to complain correctly how horribly run it is and bad it is to live in. This one might be more political than others.

 

Viciously attacked by Republicans

Even being compared negatively to anything Democrats want to do

Not that we could ever be as bad as that country

Elections as free and fair here

Zoom in on Venezuela and problems arise

Until we can help them

Evil people just send them to sanctuary cities

Liars like Abbot and DeSantis

America should not use migrants as pawns

 

Movie update: On Friday, I did something highly unusual. I watched The Ultimate Gift. That isn’t too unusual given the date that I normally watch it on. What’s unusual is that I was not yet finished watching Star Wars yet. But I was able to finish watching Star Wars that day while finishing The Ultimate Gift the next day. While I did have time based on my rules to see a movie on Saturday, this didn’t happen as I wound up having other plans for supper once again. Joy. #sarcasm. (This may be the last time that I use a hashtag in any blog of mine as I’m largely done with twitter outside of one future date, which will include a hashtag with it.)

 

On Sunday, I watched Runaway Bride. I replaced that with Rain Man. On Tuesday, I watched Fireproof. I replaced that with Front of the Class. I was still finishing that movie on Thursday so no movie from Thursday’s list was watched on Thursday.

 

On Friday, I watched Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration. On Saturday, I watched Johnny English Reborn with commentary. I replaced that with Johnny English Strikes Again with commentary.

 

On Sunday, I watched A Few Good Men. I replaced that with The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. On Tuesday, I decided not to watch a movie this time around with all that was going on in my life. Thursday had the same issue. In fact, here’s a paragraph that I need now to explain something about this blog and my Survivor blog, in addition to the two that I’m forcing myself to do while the others are on a break. It won’t explain the break yet, but it will explain what will happen with the blogs of mine that are being updated.

 

Here’s a paragraph worth posting in both my blog on Survivor and CSI: Vegas. Since I have to drastically scale back the amount of blogging that I am able to do, there are only four blogs that can be updated right now. I won’t know when I will be back to normal with blogs or how long that will take. An optimistic prediction would be April. The absolute latest is July. While there are new episodes of these two shows airing, I am trying my best to at least record them for later if not seeing them live even as the blog posts on them are delayed. I do not know when blogs will be updated, but do know that you won’t see a blog on a show when a new episode of it has aired and I haven’t gotten caught up to the episodes before it yet. I am also keeping my blogs on The Good Fight and Fadam Secretary updated during this time as well.

 

The first part has a kid in therapy. The woman therapist asked what his mother did that made him mad. The team can’t figure out how the killer got the body up there. They never saw the person they were chasing. The body is positioned to look like the hangman tarot card. Diane might have picked her own death. Also, the killer is called the silver ink killer in case I got that wrong earlier. The next note wants Maxine to be the next one killed.

 

The second part has Catherine returning as she can’t stay on vacation with an ongoing case at hand. While the cases thus far have been by lone wolfs who were coerced, the team is starting to think that the killer has help. The team goes through the evidence at the crime scene. Allie agrees to be a dummy since all of what Josh has are too big.

 

A man talks to Maxine, one Mr. Arabic. The team looks at the body. The upside flip was postmortem. Duct tape prevents blood flow. A noise is heard and the team notices a person running away from them. They believe that this is the person that they are looking for. He might have been disguised as a delivery driver whose face was hidden by the packages that he has and not caught by cameras that he might have known are down. They ask a person named Brian for a sketch. I thought that Brian was working on a novel. Some of the team try to investigate what is going on by looking at a house, but they do not get far as the place goes up in flames, forcing them to leave.

 

The third part has the team looking at the place that burned up after a booby trap was triggered. They wonder if the killer wants them to find something. The people there were watching them. They then learn about the note that threatens Maxine. She thinks that the killer is panicking. Brian, the son of Maxine, is told that they would do something like witness protection in the meantime. The team tells Maxine that there are three suspects.

 

I can’t keep these three people straight despite their different outfits. Why couldn’t they do these one at a time? I think that one of them might be the killer, but this might not be the case. This might relate to a boat ramp of some sort for some reason. Josh hangs another person upside down for clues in the case. The team figures out that this all relates to a death wheel of sorts.

 

The fourth part has the team figuring out that each murder leads to the next one. They look at the crime scene again where Diane was killed and might have found their smoking gun. They think that the killer has eyes of two different colors. It turns out that one of their three suspects named Ted might be the killer as he is brought into interrogation and sure seems guilty.

 

The fifth part has the team in either a serial killer’s house or where they think is a serial killer’s house. They look through all sorts of evidence there. There are drawings of all that the likely killer might have done that seems to relate to that kid thing from earlier at the very start of the episode. Allie suspects based on how the plants have changed that there is a dead body in a flower bed.

 

They talk to a guy about all of his dark fantasies. He thinks that the death inside is a fantasy. This man, Pete, is not giving them everything that they want. The guy in the white room isn’t Pete, but his MVP. Isn’t that the terrible Big Brother twist? The DNA doesn’t match up to him. It turns out that a message containing all of the members of the team was sent out that Josh notices. A woman is seen being kidnapped. Is this someone that we know? And what’s with the flicker of a flame? Was this going on right when the team was getting there and place went up in flames?

 

On the next CSI: Vegas, it seems that the silver ink killer story will be concluded with the killer being revealed as well. I hope to stay caught up with this show as I can even as the blog gets behind. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Season 2 Episode 14

In case you are wondering why this blog returned a bit before going on a break again, it was largely due to a bit of poor timing. I was wanting to publish all of this blog’s old posts before the start of Lent in case certain songs in them have a word that you can’t say during Lent in which case I wouldn’t share them again until after Easter and would have Lenten songs replace them in the meantime. (I am wanting to record both Lenten and Easter songs on my YouTube channel so maybe I should motivate myself to actually do this sometime. I can record them whenever and schedule the updates for when it will be either of those times.)

 

If you want to know what happened, I wound up too tired and busy on a lot of the days and wanted to stay more caught up on other things on other days. I do also worry about keeping the Survivor blog up to date because as of now, I don’t know if I will be watching it live, but still delaying the posts of it until later. And I don’t know how backed up this blog itself might become over time. I have more important things to do with my life than blogging. Don’t expect posts to be on time. Of course, if you haven’t figured that out by now, then I’m not sure how long you’ve been gone too.

 

Continuing with more of Schoolhouse Rock, we get to the first song in Money Rock and that is called Dollars and Sense. I should have been more clear that the last song shared was the last of Science Rock. I do wish that this song didn’t generalize money as bills with pictures of the presidents since the $10 bill and the $100 bill don’t have presidents on them. The only rule as to who can be on US money is that they must be dead. They don’t even have to be American.

The game of The Wind Waker took a bit of a turn as what you’d think would be the next dungeon for the next pearl would be the set up, but you can’t get there before it gets destroyed. (You have only one chance to potentially do this in game, but the game won’t let you do that. I’ve tried. I don’t think that there’s a glitch that lets you get there before the event happens.) This leads to an adventure where the next task is essentially the bombing whirlpool at Onset Island. I do like that this means that the game isn’t just taking another standard adventure, even if it makes a bit of a segue from any set dungeon for a while.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50gE2jHq7FA

 

Continuing on with songs from Trolls, I’m going to share the ending song, not counting anything that appears in the credits. The movie version of Can’t Stop the Feeling is now included for your enjoyment. It is an original song for the movie.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hPgjW2ou9E

 

Since I had shared the Celtic Woman version of this song, then I might as well share the original. Lullaby by Billy Joel is also known as Goodnight My Angel and his version is longer than the one Celtic Woman ultimately used. So enjoy what is for all intents and purposes the complete version.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcnd55tLCv8

 

In Celtic Woman’s earlier days, they were accused of not being Irish enough. There might be some times when that accusation still stands. Indeed, some international releases of their CDs don’t include the next song. But you have to admit that they owe a lot of their popularity and success to America. Thus, it only seems fitting that one of their songs, the one that closes the first act of this concert, is O, America!

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLNn2YflwNs

 

Football team ranking update: With me very behind on all of these blogs and sad that I did not get an update of this posted in March, I still have noted that the Buffalo Bills are the next highest in the ranking since something bad had happened in Buffalo and I felt that they were next in line. That number, for those who don’t remember it, is 25^th out of all of them.

 

In this post of my Madam Secretary blog, I talk about the special tape I have of The Big Bang Theory season 5 disc 3 (yes, a tape) and other things after it so the tape wouldn’t have a lot of extra room on it that one didn’t need. I also talk about March Madness which had me, at least in that post, rooting for the teams of Wichita State, Butler, and Duke, although that and other teams aren’t mentioned yet. I will now be talking about March Madness in this blog, as I’ll get to later.

 

I also used to have a rule where I would automatically root for a team that wins the game before primetime on Sundays, but that is currently null. In 2017, I sort of was able to avoid discussing politics during Lent. I also wondered in this post: would women who were sexually harassed or worse be okay with being paid off? I wouldn’t see why, but I guess that there could be a reason for that?

 

https://adamdeckermadamsecretaryblog.blogspot.com/2017/06/episode-from-3-12-2017.html

 

What I’m giving up for Lent in 2023: CinemaSins, Jay Exci, The Birdman, TVSins, Channel Awesome, non-English status updates on facebook, CinemaWins, Screen Junkies, and Brian Tyler Cohen.

 

The city that I feel like doing an acrostic poem about right now is New York City. I visited there once in 2019. I hope to go back once they finish making Two World Trade Center so I can visit that. I have no idea what the progress of that would be and think that the pandemic probably set back the construction by a lot. Still, I want to write about this city.

 

New Amsterdam, it is no more

Even if it seems

Weird things happen here

You’d think that no one notices things there

Of course, this is just a movie plot

Right out of one great film after another

Known throughout the country as a great place

Can you do everything there?

I think that a weeklong visit could be good

To do everything there would be impossible

You should still make a visit there sometime

 

Movie update: On Friday, I had to catch up on shows on my laptop so I couldn’t see any movie then that day. On Saturday, I wound up being busy. On Sunday, there were other plans for lunch in a way that is unusual for now, but could be usual in the future. On Wednesday, I watched Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I replaced that with Kingsman: The Secret Service. I still wasn’t finished with that movie on Thursday so I once again couldn’t see one of Thursday’s movies. This probably won’t happen again for a while since I’m moving Wednesday’s list to Tuesday next week.

 

The first part has a stabbing victim calling 9-1-1. I thought that was a FOX show. He winds up dying with the team investigating it. Josh has put in long shifts, with this being his next double. Allie calls from another place saying that this is her chance to get their main suspect for the recurring crimes of the season which seems to be a long and drawn out plot by now. The team has to figure out more of what’s going on. The victim of the week was at an eating competition.

 

The second part has Maxine finding pulled pork in the stomach which was three times its normal size and had 15 pounds of food in it. Allie wants to nab their therapist suspect, Diane, but Serena, who Josh forced to show up to this, wants to make sure that they have an air tight case to search the suspect’s house while also not getting into anything protected by doctor-patient confidentiality. Most importantly, they don’t want to tip her off as a suspect since that could mean that they could lose everything. As for the case of the week, people are talked to at an eating competition. The stabbing was unusual in some way.

 

The third part has the team talking about how someone cheated to get this dead guy to lose the eating competition by poisoning him. And they think that someone was eating less at the competition as well. They confront a woman named Rita who claims that she doesn’t cheat. Maybe she didn’t know she was eating less?

 

The master of the competition might be the person who poisoned Matt, the dead person. He wants to get a lawyer and suggests that Rita do the same. Mushrooms were how the poison worked this time. Later that night, Allie and Serena enter the house of Diane. They don’t find her at first, but when the lights are killed inside the house, Diane drives away with Serena getting in a car and chasing her while Allie seems to stay at the house.

 

The fourth part forgoes what could have been an awesome car chase and instead just has Diane as having gotten away with Serena and the rest of the team just there at the crime scene investigating the scene. Going more towards the other case, we get to mother of Matt being talked to with her admitting to giving him the mushrooms and killing him in order to stop him from being in eating competitions. But Josh remains skeptical since he thinks that these mushrooms couldn’t kill someone like that since they haven’t yet. To test this theory, he eats them himself.

 

The fifth part has Josh being tested to see how and if he could be like how Matt was before he died. While getting drunk, Josh is told that people knew about how people thought that him and Allie would be together. Since Josh survived this, he is sure now that Matt died through other means. Allie tells the lab tech Chris (I think) that odor might be best used to find things relating to the Diane case.

 

Josh figures out that a low voltage electrocution was what was killed Matt. But what about the stabbing? Did they ever explain how or why he was stabbed? Who did that to him? Did I miss that somehow? I miss too many things, don’t I? While there is a lead in the silver back killer case, which I think of what they are calling it, it turns out that Diane is not that killer as she winds up being killed. Wait. Isn’t that a phrase? Killer be killed? No? That’s not right? Anyways, there are no scenes from next time so I guess that I will be back whenever with a new episode, maybe on that day itself. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Season 2 Episode 13

With the previously posted episode of this blog dealing with something from what at the time would have been four years ago, I will now be sharing my cast update from my CSI: Cyber blog in February of 2019. This means that I will be switching back and forth between sharing the cast updates of the CSI: Cyber blog with the next month after that one and continuing with the blog sharing from my Madam Secretary blog. This will delay the sharing of that blog’s next post to the next post of this blog.

 

Anyways, in this post that I’m sharing, it mentions some of what shows were replacing what at the moment on CBS. I also notice that a lot of things become outdated, but I don’t always mention what or change it to something better later. Note that at the time, two people from Elementary were in that blog as was one person from Madam Secretary. Both of those blogs will be affected when they aren’t in the look backs anymore. I’m not sure how or if that makes sense.

 

http://adamdeckercsicyber.blogspot.com/2019/02/cast-update-2-2-2019.html

 

There were more deleted Schoolhouse Rock songs than I have shared before already. The last one in relation to Science Rock was about the weather and is called The Greatest Show on Earth, which also happened to be the name of the circus that is kind of a mouthful to say, hence the potential issues with that. But at least it exists on YouTube. I have no idea if this is on Disney+ or not.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CahUpy9yknA

 

Continuing on to the next boss in Wind Waker, we get to the boss of Forbidden Woods and that’s Kalle Demos. I wonder why in this video doesn’t have the person trying to leave the flower area before he gets hurt. Maybe they can’t? But they should be able to since that would be helpful and less dangerous.

Since there are still more songs to share from Trolls, I’m now going to share the True Colors movie version from Trolls. This should be my last time sharing this song in this blog for quite a while, if ever again.

Continuing on with more songs from Songs from the Heart, Celtic Woman did a cover of a Billy Joel song and they called it Goodnight My Angel. They actually had to redo this whole song since there was a power outage during it at one point which there is somehow footage of. (It’s a special feature on the DVD.) It would be quite a while until they did another live concert outside again. I think that it was Ancient Land which was at a different castle then A New Journey was. Those who know the Billy Joel version will note that Celtic Woman shortened the song a bit, which if fine by me.

The next video, if you are able to see it, is one of the recurring bits from the current version of The Tonight Show: Jimmy Fallon thank you notes. I felt that this was worth sharing. I can only hope that it shows up for you when you click this video. I had some issues sharing some of his videos to facebook and now must find another that is public to make things “equal” if you will with what I feel that I owe posts on.

Football team ranking update: If you read my Survivor blog when I was explaining that if an area that has an NFL team suffered a misfortune, I would put that team as the next in line to root for. Well, in 2021, there was the storming of the capitol, but I won’t be rooting for the Commanders as a result because it just doesn’t seem like what would affect the city as a whole. It was a different type of bad thing happening. But there was later a hurricane that affected New Orleans. Thus, the Saints are the next highest team to root for.

 

Finally getting back to acrostic poems, I will be doing one on the state of Kentucky. Depending on how many of these that I get, I plan to cover all of the ones with major election cycles in 2023 before getting to the ones with major elections in 2024. By major, I mean just gubernatorial.

 

Kentucky can be a great place

Especially with their famous fried chicken

Not to mention, plenty of other great things

There is a lot of good in this state

USA is great to have this state

Can you imagine it not being around?

Kind, southern people would be less plentiful

You would miss a lot of generosity

 

Movie update: On Friday, I decided that I couldn’t watch a movie yet with all of what was going on in my life. On Saturday, I wound up eating supper at my neighbor’s house instead of at home so I couldn’t watch a movie this time. On Sunday, I watched The Emperor’s New Groove. I replaced that with Catch Me if You Can. On Wednesday, I watched Despicable Me 3. I replaced that with Dumbo. I didn’t finish that movie until Thursday so I once again wasn’t able to see any of Thursday’s movies. This will more than likely change soon.

 

The first part has two men and a kid named Billy mining for gold. It isn’t that safe of an area as a body is found and the team is brought it. It is one body and two skulls. A person there has been missing for days. We switch to another crime scene where there are gnomes. Those fucking bastards. A woman thinks that people are reading her mind while a man lay dead. They think that he was killed in self defense. We also get a note that says, “Cull the rotten fruit.” As for the first murder victim, he and the ancient old skull might have been killed by the same weapon thousands of years apart from each other.

 

The second part has people talking about the cases at hand. Allie shows people the rare skull and both are amazed at it. I have the feeling that this will become an important plot point as that man and woman who were shown that were both very fixated on it and also having a bit of a tiff. Beau talks about always being a “lab rat” as he doesn’t want to work in the field and thinks that others think lowly of him as a result. Both Allie and Maxine want to figure out who sent the note to the woman, but they can’t seem to make sense of what she’s saying. More stuff happens.

 

The third part has the people trying to figure out what might be up with a potential career defining find in regards to the potential rare skull. As for the recurring case, they can’t figure out why some notes are typed and others handwritten. There are three things wrong with those who could identify these people: they are dead, in a mental hospital, or in jail. It seemed as first that Beau had a new lease on life when he became a field agent. But he seems to want this job in the lab more. As for the other case, they find the original crime scene, I believe. Also, Molly is the name of the person who thinks that her mind is being read.

 

The fourth part has Maxine talking to Molly after other stuff happened. I keep just watching this and forgetting that I have to blog about this too. And I get distracted by other things too. I really should have napped today, but just didn’t have the time for that. Supplies might be stolen somewhere out of the archeologist’s place. Allie is there with Serena. At least two suspects are interrogated.

 

The fifth part has a break in the case, or one of them, at least. It was that one man who they first talked to that seems the likely person responsible. And tests that were done on the crime scene proved this. He just wanted credit for what he did. The man that was killed by this archeology guy, Harrison, wasn’t someone he found worthy of making the discovery since he told his victim about this place where this old skull was found. After a montage of things that I can’t understand all of, we get to a link in the recurring case of the season.

 

A therapist named Diane has all of the evidence of the recurring crimes linking back to her, seeming to identify her as the big bad of the season. Um, who is she? I hope that she was mentioned well and clearly in this season so far, at least in my blog.

 

On the next CSI: Vegas, they try to find Diane, but lose her at least once, if not more often than that all the time. I can’t tell for sure what all might be going on. I want to nap, but it is after 10. I need to make sure that I shower and do some of the laundry before just doing to bed for real. And I don’t even know when I’m publishing this blog post yet. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Season 2 Episode 12

When The Golden Globes aired on a Tuesday this year, it made me think about the shows that I watch on Tuesdays. I was watching New Amsterdam until it ended. I had thought that I missed the ending of La Brea, but that it still on for a while, now in double timeslots, airing back to back episodes. It might be a bit of a surprise that it was renewed, but there’s likely not going to be any more beyond that. I would watch Night Court, but I am seeing too much on Tuesdays right now already.

 

What else am I watching? Well, I’m seeing 9-1-1: Lone Star on FOX, FBI, FBI: Most Wanted, and FBI: International on CBS, and The Rookie, Will Trent, and The Rookie: Feds on ABC. What’s terrible is that once the CW brings back some shows that I like, I’ll have four things to watch in the same timeslot. What’s even worse is that I can watch four things all at once.

 

Since the last Science Rock song was about the skeletal system, it makes sense to share the song that helped inspire it that uses part of the song at some point. That song is called Dem Dry Bones.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVoPG9HtYF8

 

The next song that they did in Science Rock was A Victim of Gravity. I’m sharing that now. It seems that I was prepared enough for some of these posts to not know what I was sharing once I eventually published them. I am now working on five different posts of this blog at once and will be starting a sixth soon as I work to publish this and the next three over the next three days for reasons that will be clear soon.

Going to the next dungeon in The Wind Waker and the sub-boss from it, we get to Mothula from Forbidden Woods. It seems a fairly easy enemy. It gets even easier to beat later in the game with other weapons, such as the one you get in this room.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra0uqCVvLoc

 

Since there are more songs to share from Trolls, the next one that I’m doing is the True Colors lyric video from Trolls. I haven’t shared any of their songs yet, so this will be the first one that I’m doing based on sharing the Celtic Woman version of this.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=la0-5QFLr14

 

Speaking of Celtic Woman, their next song from Songs from the Heart is Galway Bay. I like it as it is a good Irish song and they are often criticized for not being Irish enough in the end. It is one of their most Irish songs that they have performed.

There were more Jimmy Fallon things to share and I’ve been gone from this blog too long. Not only that, but I would have had a long gap even without the hiatus since it had been so long since new episodes aired. This video that I’m sharing of him from his show relates to football raps.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAqk57AS3gM

 

I should warn you that this paragraph and a bit later are a bit political. I forget why I wanted to share it. This video explains Biden versus Trump in regards to covid deaths that have happened. In case anyone was thinking that Biden was worse because there have been more covid deaths since he took office, this video debunks that.

Football team ranking update: Anyways, when it comes to ranking the teams that are numbers 21-23 in the ranking, I had to wait until a New Year’s Day game was played in order to complete this ranking. The Giants are the lowest, having lost to both the Seahawks and the Jets. When the Seahawks and the Jets played, the Seahawks beat the Jets. This leaves the ranking as 21- Seahawks, 22- Jets, and 23- Giants.

 

Were any Nobel Peace Prize winners a US secretary of state? Yes. The following all were: Elihu Root, Frank Billings Kellogg, Cordell Hull, George Catlett Marshall Jr., and Henry Kissinger. Thank you, Wikipedia.

 

In the following old post from my Madam Secretary blog, I talk about being behind on what I have to watch on tape. To think, in 2020, I was once one roll away from taking that choice off of my list for a bit. Now, I have 8 tapes to watch and episodes of shows that have ended on it like 2 of Charmed, 1 of Dynasty, and 1 of Tom Swift. I have the feeling that I will see political commercials for the 2023 elections before I’m done with the tapes from before the 2022 elections.

 

WARNING! Political section

 

I also talk about doing bets. I bet my cousin over the 2020 presidential election and he has yet to pay up. He’s just proving to me that Republicans aren’t men of their words. I also did change my mind about wanting Pence as president. He’s such a boob. Also, who would Trump’s 2024 running mate be? I’m almost surprised he hasn’t said yet. I would think that he would pick Kristi Noem before anyone else. But we may never know for sure.

I’m going to forgo doing an acrostic poem again to do an election countdown to 1-3-2025. I will keep this section apolitical at times since a bunch of people from both parties are likely to leave office then. The only problem is a lot of them are running for another office so we won’t know if they’ll win that other office or not. Still, it would seem that Democratic Michigan senator Debbie Stabenow is the only senator or Congressperson who is not running for another office. I can mention more later as time goes on and mention the countdowns to 1-3-2027 and 1-3-2029 in the future. It is also know that Mike Braun is running for governor of Indiana so it is known that he won’t be taking a potential new office on 1-3-2025.

 

Still, I better get to how many days away that date will be from the time that you see this blog post. I posted the amount of time on facebook on 1-24-2023. I have also decided that I will include the countdown to when Jeff Landry is out of office in this blog only if he doesn’t win the office that he’s running for now. Anyways, as of the day that this episode aired, the date of 1-3-2025 is 701 days away.

 

End political section

 

Movie update: On Friday, I watched a home video. This could be the precursor to a new list, but I can’t start one until Tuesday’s list is dissolved. Meanwhile, my longer home videos can’t be watched again until I’m done watching the shorter home videos. On Saturday, I watched Finding Nemo and had to replace it with Finding Dory instead of something from Tuesday’s list. On Sunday, I watched The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. I replaced that with The Emperor’s New Groove from Tuesday’s list. On Wednesday, I watched Bean: the Movie. I replaced that with Fireproof from Tuesday’s list. While I was still finishing that movie on Thursday, I still watched something from Thursday’s list: Mr. Bean’s Holiday. I replaced that with It’s a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie.

 

On Saturday, I watched Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I replaced that with The National Parks. I won’t be able to finish moving Tuesday’s list around unless I either finish with an s choice on most of the lists or watch something from Sunday’s list. I was not able to see a choice from Sunday’s list this week due to other plans for lunch. I had the chance to see a movie from a scab list. I decided to do it even though I wound up rolling one of the choices that I wasn’t wanting to, Toy Story 4 from Thursday’s list. I wasn’t wanting to roll it since I’m watching it with Spanish subtitles. I only started it on Sunday. I continued it on Monday. I finished it then. I replaced it with Tower Heist. Here is Everything Great about Toy Story 4.

On Wednesday, I watched The Empire Strikes Back. I replaced that with Return of the Jedi. On Thursday, I watched none of Thursday’s movies as I was still finishing Star Wars. On Saturday, I watched Finding Dory. I replaced that with Downton Abbey: A New Era. On Sunday, I watched Liar Liar. I replaced that with the last thing that I could move from Tuesday’s old list: Stuart Little. Tuesday’s list is now dissolved. Yay! This means that I can add new lists now. I will when it works out.

 

On Wednesday, I watched The Return of the Jedi. I was still finishing that on Thursday so I was not able to see any of Thursday’s movies. I replaced that with The Force Awakens. I will not yet know when I will start a list on Friday, but plan to watch the two Celtic Woman Christmas concerts first on that day of the week.

 

The first part starts with two women hanging out. But a noise has to be investigated. Both of the women start coughing. One of them winds up in the hospital being read to by a third woman. This woman in the hospital wakes up. Catherine then takes a girl into this place. Is her daughter a kid again? She is pineapple years old. Maxine talks to Roxy some about an old case regarding an old case in Catherine’s tenure. This happened four years ago. The woman woke up and said that her sister’s death was not an accident. Catherine leaves this child with other members of the team.

 

People take out the exhumed body or something else that smells. Maybe now I should bring up that song that I hate about that smell. Maxine thinks that it isn’t coming from just her body. Was it chemicals used or murder? The crime scene is nearly four years old. Some people on the team talk to people about the coma one of them just went through. She thinks that her sister and herself were poisoned. Someone had broke into the salon. Catherine thinks that it isn’t too late to find the truth.

 

The second part has Catherine taking a child to see a crime scene. Why would you do that? Who do you think that you are: Temperance Brennan? That is her name, right? The one on Bones? The child is taken away, perhaps to be with The Mandalorian. There is a lot of formaldehyde. There are ingredients in shampoo that aren’t supposed to be there. Could it have been the brother in-law of Mimi who she thinks was there with him? Sasha is the person who died. He deals with a lot of pickleball. (Is that supposed to be two words?) He is an instructor of that.

 

Hannah is the name of the kid. Chris takes her away. There are different footprints that they found there. At least six were found. A woman is also interrogated about some of what went on that Saturday as those are busy days. A gay man is also there since I guess one is legally required to work at a hair salon. After all, that’s what Coby Archa does or used to. A woman of Asian descent is also talked to. This is a woman named Nikki, I believe. This is an addition to a man named Nick and Nicole as well. I think that the first woman is Nicole and the gay guy is Nick.

 

A black woman had cut off some of Nikki’s hair since she had an affair. We then get to a biracial man who also worked there at the time. After all of these interviews where I’m already guessing that multiple ones of them will be involved, we get to team seeing that a ventilation system was shut down meaning that the sisters were certain to be killed because of this.

 

The third part has people looking for the right shoes and some are ruled out for being the wrong size. It’s almost a curse to have this on tape as I can rewatch parts of this episode as much as I want to. William, Nikki, and Nicole are the wrong sizes. William is the son of Sasha. It is not a giant who has these shoes. Maybe it’s a jet? Wait. This is Vegas. Maybe it’s a raider. Ken (Sasha’s husband, the pickle ball guy), Heather (Sasha’s best friend, although I forget which woman that is), and Nick, who was fired, are the three main suspects who are left. Three suspects? Is this a classic Matlock episode two-parter? I wonder what continuity error will save the day.

 

The killer appears to be going bald. They have hair loss medication. Would you really want to spend money on that? Are you afraid that someone will mistake you as a Hollywood villain? What about a comedy person like Howie Mandel? Or a badass action star like Bruce Willis? Mimi gives her testimony and why she is convinced that it was Nick and it was a grey face person with a snout. If I had to guess, it probably was a mask that someone was wearing. And it probably wasn’t Nick. It wasn’t a dream like Maxine first thought as she found a photo of this person.

 

The fourth part has everything about the night she went into a coma adding up in the end. But is this really Ken? They might deal with forensic shadow puppets. Maybe that will be a show on Adult Swim. Or FX. Or Comedy Central. Or Netflix. The best bet right now would be Paramount+. I’ll write it if no one else will. A suspect is brought in, but let go due to current lack of evidence. What caused this grey man? There could be talons. Wasn’t Talon the protagonist of The Outpost? I was going to write a bit about that when I start blogging about Blood versus Water again.

 

Beau goes through a lot of what might be going on and is annoyed that Josh always has to get the last word. You know, when someone does that to me like on facebook, I tend to not give them what they want and don’t give them any response. Why prove them right? As long as it isn’t a shut the fuck up kind of thing, I’m going to be quiet if they either ask me to or insist that I need the last word. Anyways, a piece of plastic seems to be the key to this all.

 

The fifth part has Catherine talking some about taking a break from a while to be there for her daughter Lindsay and granddaughter Hannah. Lindsay is upset at Catherine, needless to say. Everything comes together with gum revealing that Heather is the killer. Basically, she was selling fake shampoo and pocketing the difference. She was likely going to be caught, but tried repeating the phrase that Ken killed your sister to Mimi. But it turns out that the team was able to catch her.

 

The episode ends with Catherine offering to take her family to Hawaii. Maybe there will be a spin-off there. I mean, CBS can’t let NCIS: Hawaii be their only show set and filmed there with NBC getting the benefits from Magnum P.I. in the future. I have no idea if ABC is making use of their former Lost set, first given to Off the Map and then to Last Resort.

 

On the next CSI: Vegas, there is a crime written on a card with a sick mind behind all of these stories. I wouldn’t call Anthony Zuiker’s mind sick. And it is far better that he writes crime shows than actually do this in reality. I don’t know what else there is to say this time so I’ll be back whenever with the next episode. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
