On October 31 last year, my parents’ doorbell rang. This isn’t surprising, it was Halloween. But this particular time it wasn’t a trick or treater…at least, not the traditional type…but it was the son of my mother’s late best friend. They hadn’t seen him for years, but he’d stopped by to let them know he’s [...]

ABC re-ran last season’s final episode of LOST tonight. I was working and I only watched a few minutes of it, but that was sufficient for a big belly laugh! They decided to include fake Closed Captioning on the bottom of the screen…actually, they were more like those pop-up bubbles containing trivia, tidbits, and such, but [...] Have you seen my dental floss? I can’t find my dental floss. How can a person lose a container of dental floss? I don’t know, but I can’t find mine. It’s not behind the bathroom mirror, where it is supposed to be. It isn’t behind the other bathroom mirror. Nor is it in either vanity drawer or [...] As part of their Complete Jane Austen website, PBS has a section about the men of Austen. Go to this page and then select "Show the Men," which is a giggle itself. Once you’re there, read some of the descriptions for a good laugh. A few comments: I think they have exaggerated the "current or today [...] I received the following in an email from a friend. I don’t mean to be overly sensitive, but it seems to me that I’ve been indirectly called a cow. Do you not agree? On the first day, God created the dog and said: ‘Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who [...]
Hmm, too bad I don’t know John Williams. Otherwise I could do a similar storyline myself and be a billionaire. Them’s the breaks. (I’ve seen the above on a few blogs, but nobody credits the creator. No infringement intended.) The first episode of PBS’s "The Complete Jane Austen" has just aired. They started with the novel Persuasion, which is one of my favorite Austen books. Hmm, what to say about the adaptation. Overall it was a fairly decent production, but…and there are some huge BUTS: The ending was very odd and to be honest…a disaster! What’s [...] As I mentioned here, this coming Sunday night PBS will begin airing adaptations of all six Jane Austen novels…ode that there were more. PBS is calling this the "Complete Jane Austen." But is it really complete? PBS has acknowledged that they are airing shortened versions of each adaptation. This is not a surprise, it seems [...] Gotta love the ‘tude. VBG! (Click for cleaner, bigger image.)
Image: Copyright Universal Press Syndicate I took down my Christmas tree and decorations this evening. Tomorrow is the last pick up for the tree, so it had to go out. The house always looks so drab after the Christmas cheer is boxed up and stored away for next year. I’ve spent time each of the past several nights sitting by [...] As I posted several months ago, starting on January 13th, PBS will be showing an adaptation of all six Jane Austen novels and at least one finalized documentary/life in review type thingy. This should be exciting news, but I just can’t get interested. Let’s look at what PBS will be airing: Three new ITV productions: Mansfield Park One [...]
Today’s image: A snow-infested Reggie. It was too cold for this to happen today, but by Friday it’s supposed to be warm enough for the snow to start melting and attacking Reggie’s legs like this each time he goes out. Poor guy. Click for a close up. It was cold today, but it didn’t feel [...] I like to listen to my MP3 player in my car. For years I’ve done this using a tape converter inserted in the car’s tape player. This is no longer working. I’ve tried three tape converters and they just are not working. Two made loud clacking or squeaking noises and the tape player keeps ejecting [...] Happy New Year!!!! I hope 2008 is a good year for each of you (an me too, if I may include myself)!!! I went to see the movie Atonement with a friend today. The theater was packed! Probably because the outside weather was not pleasant and everyone headed to a movie. This is the first time [...] |
