That I'd like to see. ^_^

  Can I put this on my web page?

Sure, but let me clean it up a bit and correct some things, so you have as
good a copy as possible. I can probably get it to you tomorrow. 

<< Hey Pixi, is what another poster said about there being an alternate

Yeah, it's true. ^_^;;

<< Tenchi is doing a bit of spring cleaning. At the beginning, his apartment
is
  a mess (looks frightenly like my place does every once in a while ^_^;;).=
  But he collects all the magazines and ties them together in stacks, fills
up 
  several trash bags, washes a HUGE pile of dishes (built up over the course
of
  several weeks no doubt), cleans the toilet, etc. When Tenchi is finished
  cleaning up, he then sits down to a nice satisfying cup of tea. That's when
  the phone rings, it's Sasami she sounds upset and cries "Save me!"

  Comments: Was he cleaning up because Sakuya was coming over?
  >>

No, he just does it because the place is a total wreck. ^_^

  Hmm, Interesting. Boy, Shin Tenchi really dosen't pull any punches with
it's
  continued villification of Aeka and Ryouko (I assume Mihoshi and Kiyonne
are
  not in here, and I would be suprised if Washu is). 
  >>

When I say all the girls, I mean all: Ryouko, Aeka, Mihoshi, Kiyone *and*
Washu.

 And Tenchi made this comment without Blushing?
  >>

As far as I can recall, yes.

<< This is something that IMHO, Shin Tenchi has been doing better then the
 OVA's or 
 TenchiTV (But not TMiL), mixing commedy with serious plot line. 
  >>

The comedy is one of my favorite things about this series! ^_^

  No Sound for this part, dramatic showcasing? Do both Sasami and Yuugi see
  this?
  Foreshadowing for the entire series?
  >>

Being unable to hear what is being said is definitely for dramatic
showcasing. No, Sasami and Yuugi are still in the store, they switch scenes
to the courtyard where Tenchi and Sakuya are, which is around the corner from
the store. Foreshadowing, I don't know, but it definitely re-illustrates
Yuugi's goal of pairing Tenchi and Sakuya.

 Oh, first foreshadowing of the impending doom, and it is given to Sasami?
  >>

Yup.

<< Tenchi looks at the music box, listening to the music and remembers his
 conversation with Sakuya. She asked him to go steady with her. He tells her
 >he isn't in a position to do that right now and that he's sorry So it's no
 >I guess", she says. He cries out "No! It's just ," but Sakuya is already

 Gentlemen, we are off to the races.......
 If Yuugi is manipulating Tenchi, she is being far more subtle about it here.

  >>

I'd say that all the things Yuugi is doing are definitely aimed at
manipulating Tenchi.

 >Meanwhile, at the house, everyone is dying of hunger (or acting like they=

 back!"
 
 Hmm, I wonder how long and permenent this breakup between Tenchi and Sakuya
 is, at least 2 episodes, and when Tenchi does have another date, Ryouko
screws
 it up......
  >>

Not even one episode. Sakuya doesn't give up that easily. ^_^ Though it seems
like she almost ready to by the end of episode 8. I won't know until next
month where it goes from there. **Sigh**... I hate waiting. 

<<  I love shin Tenchi

Me too. ^_^
