I am a little bit sick. So I went home early from work and then my roommate came home and made me tomato soup and grilled cheese.

Well, I could send it your way.

I am just wondering if people, who are posting photos or images along with the names; aren't bending the rules which say no reserching on the Internet, books, or, I would assume, CDs?

As for mine, I already knew the name I was going to post, I just then went and found a photo of her to illustrate (and scare Elmore)....but I did not go searching for people with initials C.C....and I believe that there is what is prohibited.

Mikey, you don't have to explain............ anything.


However, I believe this calls for a full-body search!

Is 8) a positive or a negative comment?

Oh!  I forgot to mention the best part of the TV purchase!  Since my birthday is next month, my sister said that she'd pay for half!!  So it cost me even less!!! ;D

Good Evening!

I headed out earlier down to the Barnes & Noble in Tribeca to attend a reading and book-signing by Chelsea Handler.  In a word: HI-LARIOUS!!!!!

I managed to get down there early enough to get a seat in the third row, and save a seat for my roommate, Jim, as well.  My roommate and I watch her show on E! each night.  She read a good chunk of the first chapter from her new book, "Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea," then took a couple of questions from everyone before signing.  Since we were seated so close, we got out of there pretty fast. But it was also fun watching her interact with her fans - some of whom were actually emotional - crying - when they got up to her.  ;)

Two funny things-
-The area set aside for the reading was right next to the Children's Section, and since Chelsea likes her expletives, well... It was fun watching the looks on the manager's face every time a four-letter was uttered.
-The first person to get their book signed was a 12 year-old boy - who was there with his baby sister and father.  After the boy pointed out where his father was, Chelsea commented, "You're a bad parent."  ;)

And if you've never heard of or seen and heard Chelsea Handler, here's one description of her writing:

"Chelsea Handler writes like Judy Blume, if Judy Blume were into vodka, Ecstasy, and sleeping with midgets and nineteen-year-olds."
-- Jennifer Weiner, bestselling author of In Her Shoes

Had another full evening of INDY JONES and his assorted documentaries.

The episode itself was the one where Harrison Ford guest starred as the 50-year old Indiana Jones though it's really just a bookend cameo. The majority of the episode had Indy in 1920 in CHicago with Eliot Ness as his college roommate, Ernest Hemingway writing for a Chicago paper and his direct rival at another paper, Ben Hecht.

Is there anyone Indy didn't run into during his lifetime?

I got through three of the documentaries associated with this episode tonight. The first was about jazz with El Z'abar and Billy Taylor among the talking/performing heads.

The next featured Al "Scarface" Capone. OK mini-biography, and I did learn one thing. I knew he died from syphilis, but I thought he died in prison. He didn't.

Then I watched BONES which I had started recording but didn't get to until almost 8:30. Good episode, but the murderer was not too hard to figure out this week.

I started watching THE TUDORS, but I only got about 38 minutes into it before MEDIUM started, so I'll finish it tomorrow. Good episode. I have a feeling that next week will be Jeremy Northam's last episode. (He plays Thomas More.)

MEDIUM had another intriguing episode,
































 especially Allison's reaction to the pills. And the Marie subplot was charming.
