One of the things I wanted to pick up at Target this afternoon was PRIDE AND PREJUDICE which they had on sale this week for $10. I couldn't even find a used copy for that price, so I got it.

English singer Craig Douglas's version of "100 Lbs of Clay" is worth tracking down too. He had to re-record it with different lyrics to get airplay by the BBC.

When I got back in, I finished THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH which I still had about 25 minutes of to watch.

JRand is familiar with Mr Douglas as he was in "It's Trad Dad" with Helen Shapiro.

Matt H. · « **Reply #155 on:** January 04, 2007, 01:32:19 PM »

But I couldn't wait to finish it and then put in PRIDE AND PREJUDICE and revel in it all over again. I didn't quite get to the end, but will complete it when I go back down before prime time TV tonight.

ABC is being very cagey tonight. We have a new episode of UGLY BETTY but two GREY'S ANATOMY reruns.

The 8 p.m. CSI episode is a repeat but the 9 p.m. episode is a new one.

All of NBC's line-up tonight are new episodes.

Dorsey Burnette's "The Feminine Touch" was an answer to "100 Lbs Of Clay"

Thanks for asking Dear Reader Laura. It's another total fire ban day today. The pre Christmas fires are still going and there were two new ones yesterday. More rain is expected soon - problem is that it is usually with thunder storms and lightning strikes are the main cause of the fires. Three people have been arrested for deliberately lighting fires in that period over Christmas and adding to the conflagration.

It is like that in Arizona in June and July, until the monsoon begins and raises the humidity level. Often we just get dry storms -- thunder and lightening -- which sets off new fires.

I love monsoons in June
How about you?
I love those Looney Tunes
How about you?

As a fan of "Lost", I am looking forward to its return. I hate to say it, but CBS has lost a viewer of "Jericho." The hiatus pretty much left me not missing it at all, so I'm not gonna bother when it returns.

MBarnum · « **Reply #161 on:** January 04, 2007, 02:11:24 PM »

I forgot all about Jericho. I guess I gave up on it even before the hiatus.

Matt H. · « **Reply #162 on:** January 04, 2007, 02:21:25 PM »

I don't think taking these serialized shows off instead of having reruns is a great idea. Out of sight - out of mind, I think.

Off to read some more KATE before return to Jane Austen-land.

In KATE, I'm up to the publication of Garson Kanin's TRACY & HEPBURN.

So what's this bill the administration's pushing as an excuse to open my mail?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #167 on:** January 04, 2007, 03:08:12 PM »

I think it is the Bill for the abolishment of cheap porn.
They keep trying to push people into expensive alternatives for everything these days.

And the word of the day is: VESTIBULE!

Casey would waltz
With a strawberry blonde
To the muzak playing in their psychiatrist's VESTIBULE.
Fortunately, the doc's receptionist was used to these kinds of things.

Anyone ever Bossa Nova with Eydie Gorme?

No, but I always dreamed of doing the hustle with Steve Lawrence.

Well, he's 72 now. He might accept an offer.

A vestibule is one of those things that looks so swank when you see it in a magazine or on some floor plans, especially of older homes.

In the South, especially, the gracious old homes had vestibules.

Unfortunately, the charm rather goes out of it for me when I hear some curator or other pronouncing it "vest-ee-byool".

I forgot how "Awards" season it is - I'm quite bored by all these Awards giveaways. The actors, the producers, the directors, the writers, the Globes, the Oscars, the People's Choice (do they do those anymore?), and every website known to man now has an "Awards". Perhaps we should start our own Awards right here - the Hainsies/Kimlet Awards.

And our statue would be called The Benjamin.

According to my Futurama calendar, today is Tom Thumb's birthday! If he were still alive, he'd be 169 years old!

169? If he were alive today, he'd be dead.

A good news day. My DVD/CD burner dirve has a two year warranty! My point of sale just rang me to let me know. There is still customer service out there. I'd assumed I had maybe three months! I've had the computer since August 2005 and it has worked hard!

I think the name should be derived from "Hainsies/Kimlets"....like the "HaKis"

Well...if he was "alive" today, at age 169, he'd probably "wish" he was dead.

I wonder what awards should be given!
Most informative post.
Most useless post (We're probably all in the running).
Most egocentric post!
Best New poster!
Most blamed poster. Nah! Only one contender.
Most typographical error posts. There maybe some competition there but Vixmom is a delightful front runner.
Most "adult" posts.
