Like Movie, Like DVD 2

As I predicted the DVD release date for Pride and Prejudice is dancing around the calendar, just like the movie did. It’s jumped from March to April and now back to March 7, according to VideoETA. This puts them two days after the Oscars. Since the P&P producers have been heavily pushing Keira Knightley for [...]

Mystery Song

This morning I drove Reggie to the groomers–some people taxi their children around, I taxi a dog around! Near the end of the drive I heard a song that tickled my memory. But I can’t place the song and don’t know the name. We arrived at the groomers before the song ended and I didn’t [...]

Ten

In Dec. of 1995 I purchased my current car and it’s still going strong! It’s a 1996 Honda Civic and has been a gem of a car. It’s a big Civic, but still a small car, and has rarely had any problems. It’s currently just under 130,000 miles–cool–and still gets 30 m.p.g. (I won’t say [...]

It’s Back

It was back yesterday, but I never went out in it because the pooch was sick. But I had to be out today. Ick.

Sneak Peak

A friend of mine emailed and told me to look at the Pride and Prejudice screensaver. She didn’t tell me why I needed to look at the screensaver, but I did get a giggle.

Hitchcock’s Cameos in His Films

For the Hitchcock lovers out there (which should be everyone, right?!), here’s a fun site. It describes Sir Alfred’s cameos in his films and lists approximately when he appears.

I know a lot of people list North [...]

A Tree and A Mess

I finally bought a Christmas tree the other day. I got it up and in its stand, draped it with lights, crowned it with a star, and then gave it water. And so it continues…I have a half-dressed Christmas tree that’s been drinking a lot of water–a good thing.

I pulled out all the storage [...]

West Wing Actor Dies

Actor John Spencer has died of a heart attack. In recent years Spencer starred on West Wing,
ironically the current story line has him recovering from a major
heart-attack as he runs for the vice presidency. He’s been on the show
so little lately, until the latest episode, I figured they were going
to get rid of his character [...]

TypePad Meltdown

TypePad, the service on which this blog runs, had a major meltdown last night. So, if you thought this site looked strange…it did. And it still does. They have the service running again, but recently uploaded images won’t be restored for a while.

Unfortunately, this is only one of several meltdowns or shutdowns in the past [...]

Reggie and the Rescue Dog

I finally did some Christmas shopping tonight and bought my niece a Rescue Dog, which she apparently has requested. Well, the pathetic pooch whimpers. I kid you not–it whimpered so much as I walked through the store, it got to ride home in the trunk of the car!

When I carried the bag holding the Rescue [...]
