Exclusive interview with Elisabeth Moss: That’s not our show
Deborah and I saw Elisabeth Moss on Broadway in Speed-the-Plow and met with her backstage after the performance. She was just a love, and invited us to come back another time for a proper interview. My conversation with her took place less than a week later, up in her dressing room at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, an hour before Elisabeth’s 8:00 curtain. It was October 30th. The previous weekend, not only did the Mad Men Season Two finale air, but Jon Hamm was guest-host of Saturday Night Liv
Thanksgiving Dinner
Don't you just love Maxine! This cartoon describes my turkey yesterday. Wednesday I spent the day prepping everything I could for the big turkey day and making the stuffing and pies. I was wanting a less stressful cooking day. I even had the advantage of having dinner at 6:00 p.m. What could possibly go wrong? I put the turkey in the oven so that it would be done in plenty of time to bake the casseroles and hot rolls so everything would be ready by 6:00. The turkey was a beautiful golden brown

The story is told in first person and covers A'isha's life from childhood to young adulthood (she was 18 years old when Muhammad died.) The Tempest in a Teapot Much controversy has surrounded this debut novel from Sherry Jones. It was originally picked up by Random
The Thorn Birds
One of my most favorite memories from growing up was watching The Thorn BirdsW with my mother on TV over a period of nights the first time when I was a young girl. I was infatuated with the movie immediately. Set in Australia, the story covers 42 years in the life of Ralph de Bricassart (played [...]
Nothing Exciting Going On Here
Its pretty boring around here. I really have nothing to post about today, but I feel compelled to write something. Oh, yeah I was a bad mommy. My son woke up super cranky and was so clingy at school today. When we got home he pressed his little head to my cheek to snuggle and it was on fire! 101.6 and now I feel like the worst mommy alive! He is feeling a little better, but man pre-school is like the never ending sickness!!!!So, we are drinking plenty of apple juice and watching "Alvin and the C
Hooked on Books
Jayne over at Dainty Digs had this book meme last week that I thought sounded fun. So, while I was resting over the weekend – and as a reward for doing some of things I had to do online – I thought I’d play along. Share seven random or weird book facts about yourself. Then tag seven other people. Notify the seven others that they have been tagged. Like Jayne, I’m not tagging anyone. If you’d like to play though, I’d love to hear your responses. Either comment here or link to your own blog entry
Forgive me Father!
They had to call in for back- ups. Someone must have told them I was coming. An unknown visiting priest from about an hour away was the one I chose to burden with my moral deficiencies (randomly and from a distance)- anonymity sounded appealing when faced with the thought of the offenses I would be sharing. While waiting for my turn, my list of transgressions was growing... I'm sorry for the unkind thoughts of the creepy man directly in front of me. The fumes from his cheap cologne bath were g
After the War, Before the Peace by Sharon Poppen
All this week, the National Writing for Children Center is hosting Sharon Poppen as part of a virtual tour for her new book, After the War, Before the Peace. Here’s a summary of her book. Tomorrow, we’ll post an excerpt. NOTE: This book is definitely for YA and older readers. After the War, Before the Peace Follow four South Carolina brothers, post Civil War, attempting to avenge atrocities done under the guise of war. The saga takes them on a journey to manhood, love and peace with
The Long of It!
When I was a child I wanted my favorite books to go on forever – the longer the story the better. Short books were like eating one potato chip – tasty but not enough to satisfy. I wanted to get lost in a book and stay there for days. And I hated reading books piecemeal. Someone was always telling me to turn out the lights and go to sleep, put down the book and go play outside, or warning me that I was ruining my eyes with all that reading. As I got older I read faster so I could get through m
blatantly bad 70s songs: i’ve never been to me (charlene)
cheaterpants, cheaterpants, i know! originally released in 1977, it didn’t become a monster hit until 1982. and still, it’s here, nestled among the 70s freaks, as i feel it’s the ultimate 1970s trainwreck of a song, and, by gum, it’s the ultimate assault on the ears. let’s break down this lovely song, shall we? Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life You’re a discontented mother and a regimented wife I’ve no doubt you dream about the things you’ll never do But, I wish someone had talked to me

In the Heart...
I'm reading a book called The Shadow of the Wind for my book club. It was published in 2001 and translated to English in 2004, so you've probably all heard of it...I'm the one who's been in the dark. Anyway...At the beginning of the book there's a passage that reads:Once, in my father's bookshop, I heard a regular customer say that few things leave a deeper mark on a reader than the first book that finds its way into his heart. Those first images, the echo of words we think we have left behind,
But Soon Comes Mr Night Creepin' Over
Hey, kids. Guess what? I still have tons of photos leftover from Halloween, so I'm going to put more on here. I promise tomorrow I'll go back to posting photos of other stupid stuff, but tonight we're still reliving Halloween through pictures.What made me decide to post more, was that I went through them to post them on Snapfish, and realized that one of the most frightening one of all - this one of the creepy mimes, wasn't even in my post. So, here are the rest of the ones I thought you might l
Kauai Beaches
There are four main islands in Hawaii: Oahu Island, the Big Island, Maui Island, and Kauai Island. Each of these islands has assets and weaknesses, but if you\’re looking for uncrowded, unspoiled beaches with good surfboarding and snorkelling, Kauai Island will deliver more than what you will get on any other island. Kauai is relatively preserved, including 2 highly volcanic mountains that incline steeply down to dreamlike sandy beaches. Mount Waialeale, the 2nd highest peak, is the rainiest s

John Adams
Ahh the period miniseries, we love it so. It’s such a meeting of television and film, with its romantic settings, elaborate costumes, hundreds of extras and grand themes. Shows like Roots, Against the Wind, Water Under the Bridge, Jessica, and The Thorn Birds were marvels of the small screen. We used to do them so well in Australia, too. With the exception of Underbelly, the miniseries barely sees the light of day anymore here, unless you count those that try to pass themselves off as a minis
Shit Hot
The Thornbirds has long been one of my favorite pieces of schlock, and I say that in the most loving way. The book, the TV miniseries - both. I've been trying to convey how compelling the 1983 TV miniseries was to my daughter, but she resisted me. Even after I ordered the DVD, she still felt she had to maintain her hate-everything-that-mom-likes position and wanted nothing to do with it. Last week, she had a soft moment and suggested that we start watching it, but true to form, she reserved th
