When we moved to Maine, the husband and I decided not to get cable. This was before the digital conversion so when the weather was right we could sometimes get the three major networks to come in, but this was rare and it was always static-y. After the conversion, and even with a digital converter, …

At least I’m not apathetic about the apathy
It’s kind of a dark time for me right now – which is kind of ironic. For the first time in five years I’m out of debt to anyone who can sue me and overall things are going well. I have a job, I recently got a (small) raise, the car is still running and …
The problem with Pond
Last year, soon after it was released, the husband and I picked up the first Matt Smith series of Doctor Who. From the beginning I liked Matt Smith. He’s quirky, like David Tennant, but a bit more old-fashioned and aloof like past doctors. He has the exuberance we’ve come to expect since way back during …
The art of silent comedy
From the 6th season episode “Three Valentines” from the situation comedy “Frasier.” Featuring David Hyde Pierce
Things I Have Learned
No resolutions this year. I know what needs to be done, I know what I want to do and making a list won’t help me accomplish anything other than making yet another list to add to the plethora of lists I’ve made every year for decades. Plethora. I’ve always liked that word, although I have …
What a perfect summation
This is a few weeks old but I wanted to post it anyway. Craig Ferguson recently had Matt Smith, the current Doctor of BBC’s Doctor Who, as a guest on his nightly late-night talk show. (The only one I even bother trying to watch). Ferguson likes to do little musical and puppet-show intros for his …
Surprise, Surprise, Surprise
I never thought I’d ever say this but…I’m going to miss Star Trek: Enterprise. So, let me back up and explain. Back when Enterprise first aired, my husband and I gave it most of its first season to impress us. It failed, miserably. We didn’t hate the characters – which made it a huge step …
Does it all come down to Peter?
SPOILER ALERT: This post discusses things that have happened in season 5 of the new “Doctor Who” series I’ve really been digging the new “Doctor Who” episodes. I’m warming up to Matt Smith even faster than I warmed up to David Tennant (whom is one of my top three favorite Doctors). But I’ve noticed something …
20 Years Ago Today…
The word linkage reminds me of sausage! Never cared much for the links, preferred the patties! But breakfast is a real good idea! – Gordon Cole (David Lynch), ‘Twin Peaks’ I know this is going to sound dramatic, but twenty years ago today, my life changed. Yeah, that does sound pretty dramatic, especially considering that …
Fans is short for Fanatics
So, here’s another “Lost” post for you which will probably include spoilers. If you’re not caught up with all the new episodes and don’t want anything ruined for you, go away now. I’ve been watching “Lost” since it first aired way back in 2004. I even liked the ‘slow’ part of Season 3, especially the …
