Are you familiar with Ovation TV? Artsy-fartsy cable channel. Every year, they do a “Battle of the Nutcrackers“, where they play the performances of a bunch of different companies and viewers vote on which they like the best. I often have it on as… Continue Reading “Ways I Torture Myself Every Season”

Adams isn’t my favorite President – that would be Abraham Lincoln, duh – but depending on what day you ask, I might… Continue Reading “John Adams”
Weekend Assignment # 341: Overexposed Some things (or people) explode into the culture, are really big for a while and then overstay their welcome. Who or what are you really tired of seeing, hearing or reading about these days? Extra Credit: What discarded bit… Continue Reading “Overexposed”

I watched Zodiac on Friday and got to Hamlet today. It was the one the Royal Shakespeare Company did with Patrick Stewart and David Tennant. Stewart was great, as always, but it… Continue Reading “Hamlet, by the Royal Shakespeare Company”
Because a girl can reasonably watch every single game of the season. One game a week. I can plan my life around that for six months. Of course, I have to exchange my Writers’ Theatre tickets because someone forgot the date of the bloody… Continue Reading “Why el Futbol Americano is the Best Sport”
You all know I don’t watch reality T.V. Partly because I really like scripted shows, with writers that are thinking ahead and creating characters that I love and conflicts that make me think. Or you know, they blow things up. But mostly I don’t… Continue Reading “Hell’s Kitchen”
I’m not watching any new TV shows. I finished Season One of Mad Men the other day and have no more new TV on DVDs so I actually watched a movie. A film. A two-hour story. I don’t think I have seen a movie… Continue Reading “The New TV Season”

The setting is Manhattan, 1960. An advertising agency and the people that are employed there. The men drink, sell stuff to the clients, harass their… Continue Reading “Mad Men, Season One”

I’ve waited for-about-ever for the series to be released on DVD. The problem was in getting the rights to all of the music on the show. … Continue Reading “Daria, The Complete Series”

I find Sookie Stackhouse immature to insipid and Bill Compton rather tragically clueless for a vampire his age. The first season of this show, I was trying to decide if I bought in… Continue Reading “True Blood: Season 2”
