Hi Jane. I need to check out “The Office” sometime; just about all of my friends are into it and rave about it.

My respite of choice right now is the NCAA tournament, but baseball is just around the corner :-)

Jane!

hi Jane

madly watching battlestar gallactica season three in time for season four’s premiere.

and booze.

I’m not into network tv and mostly read books but I my guilty pleasure on the toobz is Dexter. I have no idea what that says about me as a person.

My BoSox eked out the first win of the new season, LL! 6-5 in 10 Innings, tomorrow morn at 6am Eastern is game two…!

Judge Judy.

I love it when she nails the cheats who try to collect rent from their deadbeat live-in ex-boyfriends after having welfare pay their rent. I also like it when she screams at the apparently able-bodied, “What’s the nature of your disability?” One woman replied nobly last week, “I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.” Shut Judy up real fast.

There’s something primal and Reaganesque about her.

I’m still having fun finding and publishing odd news stories, spending time at blogs, telling my kid I need more details about the definition of “hanging out, ya know, with my friends,” and holding down two jobs.

Jane!
I’m working my way through The West Wing again.
Yeah, it takes a work of fiction these days to imagine a government with a conscience.

Aloha CT, I saw that — go Sox! Our Washington Nats open the season in their brand-new park this weekend *g*

‘What she said.’ (in my best Michael voice)

Santa Fe and The Fat City Horns, of course.

When it’s gotta be top of the line.

Every Monday. Free. Unreal.

g’evening jane
g’evening pups

osho zen cards

if that doesn’t work, there’s always Francis Crawford of Lymond.

Dude, you must have special dispensation tonight…

One of my all time favorite shows. Newest favorite is Boston legal.

Suzanne! Welcome home!

Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe [tonight–”pancakes” in baby diapers. ]

Prep school for the post-Bush era. Cleaning up is gonna take a lot of willing hands and strong stomachs.

Hi Jane!
Recently saw the most brutal Mike Judge comedy ever (or at least since he grew up). Horrified, helpless, howling laughter-
Idiocracy

was that your ‘one’, ct?

Hi, I’m hooked on John Adams

Mad Men. Back when it was Tricky Dick or JFK.

Oh, and rooting for UCLA in the NCAA’s…

*waving to Suz* Welcome back, hope you enjoyed your break :-)

Evening Suz
Welcome back!

had two days of doing nothing - magnificently i must say

I escape to sports. Got back from a Gator baseball game (that was way too cold) in time to watch most of the Gator basketball game against bmaz’s Sun Devils.

newt, I’m guilty too *g*

Have the DVD of Dexter but haven’t watched it yet. I have read all the books and always want them to never end. Great storyteller.
And, yes, my escape from the madness is books and more books. Believe me, Amazon is my best friend.

Hmmm…I remember sh*t…

Oh, on second thought, now that there is video, I don’t remember the sh*t I said I remembered..

Oh, is that what happened? Oh, well, I talk so much.. a million words a minute…that is why I don’t remember whether I was shot at, ducked and ran for the limo and there was no welcoming “committee” at all, which is what I thought I remembered, but…

Or, Oh shizzola, there were cameras….

WTF?

That’s what I think. BS.

VG
If you’re here, I left the email exchange at the end of the last thread.

oh, and watching my daily “soap” ‘in treatment’. only three episodes left. *sob*

Hiya! Oh, Top Gear on BBC America.

Heh, I fulfilled my pledge to RBG, it’s the start of the new season! Play Ball! Oh and FTFY!

No spoilers, please, I don’t want to know if the Brits or the Yanks win. :)

I don’t have HBO, so I’m going to wait until they release it on DVD. What time period does the series cover?

My respite? Reality.

that doesn’t change FDL into a sports blog, tho CT :)

Howdy, Ma’am! Glad to see ya back in the saddle! *g*

well, it 1 was about the time around the boston tea party, 2 was declaration of independence, 3 is revolutionary war, 4 appears post revolutionary war … I’m assuming it ends with his life ending since there’s a total of 7

Yes’m, I know! 8-P

*putting away sap*

So what’s your respite of choice from the primary that never ends?

Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters.

They occasionally filmed near where we used to live in the SF area, and there are probably pictures of me that got edited out of their shots.

So what’s your respite of choice from the primary that never ends?

music and cartoons

Breaking Bad and Mad Men have been pretty good on AMC!

Run through the countryside on my hind legs. Sometimes I don’t feel like coming back. If I decide to run with coyotes permanently one day, I will look back on FDL fondly as one of the last outposts of civilized wildness.

…so if gets to too crazy, and I feel safer out in the wild, and you hear a Yaaaawooooooh deep in the night, it might be me with my coyote friends.

I’m waaay over due on a hair cut -I’m getting already getting ready, maybe.

Suz, are you a fan of the Dog Whisperer?

Mythbusters is awesome. Great scientific method there, plus a lot of fun.

nope, mainly watch pbs, science channel or (hanging head in shame) those decorating shows on hgtv.

any bookstore is a friend of mine *g* Mr and i are terrible in record shops and bookstores.

Sometimes the Dog Whisperer can be, well, a sexist.

I watched “Across the Universe” on PPV…made me and Mr. LS cry…that is quite an accomplishment I might add…. Very well-done 60’s/70’s creative musical, that nails a lot of stuff…other than that…my respite is gardening or yoga or music, and trying not to have a panic attack. Trying to get centered…not easy with that which we all face.

Oh Suz, I love those decorating shows! And, What Not to Wear!

Suz, I hang my head in shame along with you because I’m a Food Network junkie ;-)

I have a few oldies that I used to watch from the BBC. Keeping Up Appearances and Coupling

Mary, well you are right — but darn it those dogs do behave.

I watch those crazy Forensics shows.

Someone recently called me sick and twisted.
Who was that????? mmmmmmmm :)

ot for any d.b. cooper mystery fans: “parachute found in clark county could belong to d.b. cooper”

http://www.kirotv.com/news/15703294/detail.html

I like the Iron Chef showdowns and Good Eats with Alton…! ;-)

Me too — my fav right now is Test Kitchen.

takes one to know one - twas me :)

When your six year old comes home from kindergarten and say “Dad, let’s do an experiment to test a myth today,” you know they’re doing something right. Of course, by the time he gets to high school he’ll want to blow up a cement mixer for extra credit in his physics class or something . . .

just put that in the news box

wobbs, during my last couple of trips to England my friend there introduced me to “One Foot In The Grave” — funny stuff!

Shhhhhhhhhhhh. 10 Years Younger…Shhhh….

Just keep the trout away from the ice cream maker, no matter what that Iron Chef did.

eCAHN- Yes! I read, and left you a reply asking for his email addy, and more.

That was just great! Thank you SO much!

My daughter watches all the time and swears by his methods. She has a chihuahua, a pug, and a half Husky, half wolf - most beautiful dog you have ever seen.

Shall I share my little peeps image?

CT and Chris, kindred spirits :-) Giada and Paula are my faves…

hiya Jane—

the flight attendant let me tap into their Delta accounts on this flight to Hong Kong via LAX…I charmed them…5 hours into this flight already…over the Pacific…my third glass of red wine…

My kids gifted me with DVDs of Seasons 1, 2, and 3 because they were tired of my missing their innuendo and allusions.

It’s a great shorthand; I can now understand them when they say things like: “,,,so she was looking a little too ‘Meredith’ the other morning…”, or (for a guy they didn’t much like) “,,,a little too Dwightish, but without the toys.”

evil laugh

I watch the First 48 on A&E and well my dad works in the field of forensics so we had some interesting dinner conversations.

Suzanne, here’s a hopeful one:

Obama inspires teen
from The Central Tabulator by susan

From The Centre Daily Times

By Dena Pauling

- dpauling@centredaily.com STATE COLLEGE — Krishna Esteva and Claire Gray found the perfect spot to lure first-time voters.

At lunchtime last week, Esteva, 18, and Gray, 17, stood outside the State College Area High School North Building Cafeteria, where they placed voter registration forms and tubs of candy on a table and taped up a “Rock the Vote” sign.

They talked their peers into registering and fielded questions from first-time voters.

“Can I register to vote here? I’m going to be 18 on April 10,” Elizabeth Hunter asked.

“You can actually vote in the primary,” Esteva said, handing her a form. “Just fill out that part there.”

After a few moments of writing, a tinge of panic: “I don’t know my driver’s license number,” she said. “Can I return this to you?”

“Yep,” he responded. “We’ll be here tomorrow and the day after, too.”

Hunter said she plans to vote for Sen. Barack Obama.

And just like that, the presidential hopeful picked up another likely vote thanks in part to Esteva, a State High senior. MORE

Just keep the trout away from the ice cream maker, no matter what that Iron Chef did.

Hah! For sure! *g*

YES!!! that is awesome too. I have a dry sense of humour so british comedies play well with me

Diggit

a peep show?

very nice! safe flying.

Los Angeles Angels of Anahiem baseball! We have been lucky to have a few spring training games televised and the season starts in a week in Minnesota. We hate the Bosox! Here’s a pie thrown in the direction of CTuttle. Ha, ha.

As I put on FB too, Gordon Ramsey Kitchen Nightmares…

Jeebus Peeps

Left you an answer to yours.

We are currently working our way through Season 1 of Heroes on DVD. Demetrius watched it live, but missed some, and he got the DVD set for Christmas. The whole family has been watching it a couple episodes at a time.

Actually we’ve only got one episode left to go, which I know is supposed to be a cliffhanger. And apparently the Season 2 DVD release is months away. :(

Sounds like you’re right above me, Bio!

VG - bad link in email from you.

oh and well I loved MST (Mystery Science Theater) that was hella funny

i’m on my second … cheers!!!! How’s it going?

hehe…

Salut, Biodun!

When I freak out, I watch stuff like Garden Police and stuff like that…or, Paula’s Home Cookin’ MaMa….

Dexter. I like to watch Dexter. Goes hand in hand with my Forensics fascination.

Hysterical.

A worthwhile WaPo0 chatz tomorrow:

Frontline producer Michael Kirk will be online Wednesday, March 26 at 11 a.m. ET to discuss his two-part film “Bush’s War,” which reviews the genesis and full history of the five-year U.S. war in Iraq, drawing on fresh reporting and interviews and more than 40 previous Frontline films that have documented the war on terror.

thanks tex

kinda bumpy..I hate turbulence…have never gotten used to it…the woman next to me is fast asleep..kinda hot..Chinese…hmm…don’t have any ideas…two movies already…

thanks dood :)

Salut!!!

Mr wobbs told me to confess my collection of old movies that I watch (okay okay, I love old movies…favorite is Love Crazy (Myrna Loy and Willian Powell) well before they began doing the Thin Man series. ( I also have a few Joan Crawford movies…)

My respite has been watching movies from my rather eclectic video collection. Esp. comedies.

Earlier today I was rewatching “When Harry Met Sally”. God, I was laughing so hard during the “fake an orgasm” scene that I almost gagged on my home-made asparagus quiche.

“I’ll have what she’s having”. ;)

See my comment @5

No more wire hangers.

My six years old used to run through the house yelling that.

I like “Moving Up”…everybody freaks when the house they used to live in changes when people who now live there freaks out and changes the house…funny…things change…so it is….

mr wobbs is watching Blazing Saddles and after we will watch Monty Python (taping the PBS special)

It is sort of creepy but exciting.

And the gentlemen who bust the myths are easy on the eyes, as well!

Salut Biodun,
Ca va bien? Over which ocean?
Christine

well, tomorrow is one of those odd times when they actually want me to come to work at the same as other people. oh, the horror of it all!!!!

night y’all

My Pleasure of course!!
How are you doing Suz?

Peterr- try googling “cspan Krauss science anti-science” link should come out at the top of the list- not sure why the link didn’t work. p.s. my other respite has been watching Lawrence Krauss’s talk at the AEI.

LMAO…I did too when I saw the movie. I used ot be able to do whole scenes from that movie…

Joan: Why can’t you give me the respect…THAT I’M ENTITLED TO

Christina: Because I’M NOT ONE OF YOUR FANS

Blazing Saddles is my all-time favorite comedy. I watch it at least once a year. My favorite old movie is Separate Tables - just wonderful.

i always bring my own movies, thank goodness for laptops!

You like the beret, Teddy? ;-)

John Adams! GAWD. I can’t get enough, just keep watching it and looking up facts and biography of everyone and totally marveling at how appropriate it is to have made and shown this AT THIS TIME.
Here! Here! to Tom Hanks. It just couldn’t BE more timely and what a magnificent production, attention to detail and providing us with the feel of the era. And the music! wow, it’s a great respite from the spiteful primaries!
And thank you for asking.
:)

Boa noite, Betsy

Man, that Office YouTube is good.
Whoever put it together deserves a Dundee Award ;-))

Aloha, Ma’am, sleep well!

definitely
