I am having a strong allergic reaction to my cats right now. It might be time to pop another benadryl and lie down.

I enjoyed Ugly Betty tonight.  Grey's Anatomy was okay but is not touching me the way last season did.

George, I'm sorry to hear about your wet carpet.  I hope a solution is found soon.

Rain finally arrived, and temperatures will start to cool off tomorrow. It will be COLD by Sunday. Anyway, it was a nice "spring break" while it lasted.

I finished PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, and I'm now ready for whatever DEAD MAN'S CHEST has to offer. Hopefully, I can remember enough about these characters so I won't be lost when they show up on DVD next week.

Next I put in another disc of SUPERMAN episodes. In this one, Jimmy has invented an anti-gravity formula, and a crook is trying to steal it from him. The crooks isn't particularly threatening operating alone without help or back-up. You can tell the show was really made on a low budget with episodes like this.

UGLY BETTY had a charming, romantic, and entertaining episode, and after seeing Christopher Gorman's character on tonight's show, I was glad to read he's been signed for additional episodes. He and Betty are a winning couple, but for now, they've got to find ways to keep them apart.

I agree with you, DR TPunk. GREY'S ANATOMY was an absorbing show, but with everyone so angry and spitting at one another, it's not particularly pleasant to sit through. I also though Kate Walsh (Addison) mumbled her lines terribly tonight. I missed a couple of her dialog moments because of her mumbling.

I got a vibe that maybe McSteamy is going to get interested in Izzy. Am I wrong about that feeling?

For a few nights this month (It's already December here!), Paris will have a production of CANDIDE with Kim Criswell as the Old Lady, and a French actor/singer that DR elmoore and pianoman Jose do not particularly like, so... I won't mention his name!


You must mean Lambert Wilson!  I have two friends in the Paris production:  La Criswell and William Burden.

THE OFFICE tonight was indeed hilarious. One of the workers at the company turns out to be an ex-con, and in hearing him describe what prison life was like (obviously at a minimum security prison since he did insider trading), several workers commented that prison sounded better than the office. Naturally, that got Michael's ire up and he wanted to let them see what a prison would really be like.

A running gag with Jim misleading Andy about Pam was also lots of fun.

Finished the evening with last night's CSI: NY, a very puzzling mystery in which CSI Dr. Hawkes was arrested for robbery and murder with lots of evidence pointing to him as the guilty party. Very ingenious plan of implication as it turned out. Well done.

I pretty much liked Anne Heche in tonight's MEN IN TREES, but I never would have imagined form this episode just how great an actress the lady can be in the right part.

Home after another long day.  But at least I got us out earlier than normal tonight so I can actually sit on my couch like so much fish, which I shall now do.

"Men In Trees" is been shown here in the non-ratings silly season. An indication that there is little faith in its finding an audience.

Is it a grown up version of Carly Simon's "Boys in the Trees"?

If you make it to post #4000 and no one is online when you get there, did you really make it to post #4000?

Over the past few evenings DP Colin and I have been enjoying episodes of the UK series from a few years back "Hustle".  Good slick, and at times amusing, writing.

MEN IN TREES is, as far as I can tell, a TV series equivalent of a chick flick, and I say that having enjoyed this episode a great deal.

And we're still wondering how the song from "Hustle and Flow" was even nominated for an Oscar.
