Whats good for the goose....

Quote
A Jordanian man divorced his wife after discovering that she was also his virtual girlfriend.

Bakr Melhem had been flirting with a women on an internet chat room for several months.

But, when they finally met up at a bus station, in Zarqa near Amman, he recognised her as his wife Sanaa.

Bakr Melhem immediately shouted the Arabic words for 'I divorce thee' three times.

The husband had assumed the online identity of Adnan, while his wife had described herself as an unmarried Muslim lady called Jamila whose cultural interests included reading.

Jordanian news agency Petra reports when the man uttered the Islamic words, effectively ending the marriage, the woman responded by calling him 'a liar' before she fainted.

Note to Elmore:

Some Amazon.com seller has a copy of Where, Oh Where? for sale!

(Sorry! Had problems placing the link!!)


I'm crazy about Judy Kaye's talents and one of my favourite recordings of hers is the little known "Americanegro Suite" under the same label as "Where, Oh Where!"...

Lunch was a frustrating experience since every place we went was packed and the wait ended up being long. I hadn't had anything solid to eat for a long, long time and was actually feeling light headed until I finally got some food in my stomach.

Once back I did enjoy OUT OF PRACTICE from last night though it wasn't quite as funny as some episodes have been. I really like all of the actors, and I noticed they've started giving Jennifer Tilly a lot more to do and say than earlier in the season.

COURTING ALEX had some fun experimentation with British accents, but the idea of the Dabney Coleman character still disliking Josh Randall's character is so contrived now as to be irritating. He's proven over and over to be a nice guy and a guy worthy of his daughter, so this hateful distaste he continues to harbor for the guy is ridiculous and lessens the humor content of the show for me.

VERONICA MARS had an enjoyable mystery at the college where, despite her objections, it's obvious she's going to be attending next season (if the show get renewed).

And we moved a step closer with more clues about background information we need to solve the bus "accident."

LAW & ORDER had a relatively minor case about tactics police use in obtaining information under duress. Interesting subject but the resulting case wasn't very dramatic.

Back from a good class and a good lunch.  Am now waiting for actors to arrive for a line-through - hope to be finished with that by three so that I can buckle down Winsocki and get some writing done.

DRs Ron Pulliam and Francois, thank you!  I've been off the site for the past hour and a half with laundry and buying a used CD on Amazon.com!  I appreciate your kindness.  I remember the vinyl quite fondly.

I know what I'd like to have that wasn't recorded - WHERE'S CHARLEY with Ray Bolger and Allyn Ann McLerie and LOVE LIFE with Nanette Fabray.

I'm watching the NBC news, and they're playing the newly released 911 calls for help from the World Trade Center on 9/11.  They're also interviewing the parents of the victim making the call from the 106th floor.  It's so sad.  And infuriating.

There was a humorous bit of gossip in the rags yesterday:  there was a showing of BASIC INSTINCT 2 and the writer said the most terrifying part of the film is Sharon Stone's implants.

Back after the first meeting of a new grants management committee - the top administrators of the library system, my manager, and l'il ole me.  My presentation was the bulk of the agenda and they took notes, asked questions, and even participated in the "audience participation" portion!  I was more nervous about today's presentation than I am about tomorrow's interview.  But, thanks for the vibes for that and keep 'em coming!

The COMPLETE Original Broadway Cast of Sondheim's Follies!!

I'd also love a recording of Angry Housewives.  This is a great show. :D

A recording of ANGRY HOUSEWIVES would be very helpful to those doing a production of it!

Thanks, DR MattH.  

Now I'm off to a meeting in which we will decide how to disperse the proceeds from the used book sale I helped with a couple weeks ago.

Bye for now.

Just learned that PERRY MASON vol 1 Season 1 (19 episodes) will be releasing in July!

I just love that show and I never tire of watching it! So I imagine I will be springing for this set as well as most of the rest of the season should they decide to do them all!

I'm going to an interesting event tonight at the TV Academy. WOMEN IN PRIME. Dealing with women in front of and behind the camera in Prime Time. For those interested in taking a look, there will be a LIVE WEBCAST at www.emmys.tv which is scheduled to begin at around 8 PM PST.

Good line-up of panelists scheduled:
Diane Burroughs (Creator, Executive Producer, Still Standing)
Laura Innes (ER)
Melina Kanakaredes (CSI NY)
Janet Leahy (Executive Producer, Boston Legal)
Janel Moloney (West Wing)
Kathryn Morris (Cold Case)
CCH Pounder (The Shield)
Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer)
Greer Shephard (Executive Producer, The Closer)
Holland Taylor (Two and a Half Men)
Jeanne Tripplehorn (Big Love)
And special guest Ms. Angela Lansbury

Should be fun. I'm hoping to say hi to Kyra Sedgwick at the reception afterwards. Haven't seen her since the 1993 Golden Globe Awards when she was nominated for Miss Rose White. During Rose White, BTW, she was invisibly pregnant with her (and Kevin Bacon's) daughter, Sosie, who now must be 14. How time flies!
Their son Travis was 3 at the time. He was very musical and, as I remember, Kevin B. had made him a little guitar which they played on the set while waiting for mom. Very sweet. After I came back from location (Richmond, Virginia as 1940's NY!) I sent them DD's miniature violin which she had outgrown.
