Right now, I'm wondering if anyone saw the following last night:

* Spike Lee's Katrina documentary (part 1) on HBO
* Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations episode from Beirut, on Travel Channel

Neither aired here in Canada and I've heard AMAZING things about both.

Wondering if anyone else saw either of them.

right now, yankee, i saw anthony Bourdain's No Reservations episode from Beirut. We are DVRing when it shows again as it was one of the most amazing episodes we had ever seen. If you would like a VCR copy of this, let me know. also HBO puts all of their shows ON DEMAND after they have first shown. you might be able to catch spike lee's show that way.

Thanks, Landi. I have heard through the grapevine (and via message boards) that Bourdain's Beirut episode is INCREDIBLE. I was following along his saga before he left Beirut, and read his Salon article, too. I am trying to get it through my work (wink), but thanks for the offer and I'll let you know if I do need that VHS!

There's no HBO in Canada, so don't think I'll be able to see the Spike Lee thing unless a network up here picks it up. I heard it was very powerful, too.

RN, ahh, rupert!! thanks for thinking of me, saxy! except don't think of me when you are having cramps, okay? :-)

RN, i have to babysit the pill until my dd gets home from college (last class ends at 7:40, but it's 38 miles home and they are doing that darn one-way traffic with the pilot car for another several weeks 24/7. she probably won't get home before 8:45 or so. which means i get to take pill to her house and give her a bath. she is 8. she cannot take a bath alone. mom washes her hair and scrubs her little body...
oh, did i tell you the pill has to wash her hands in the laundry room, not the in the half-bath or the full bath near her bedroom? the mom also told my dd not to wash her hands in the bathroom, but to use the kitchen or laundry room sink. my dd asked why and was told the mom didn't want to have to wash extra sinks when she did her housecleaning, so no one can use certain sinks. huh? are you going to tell a dinner guest to come out of the bathroom after urinating and go into the laundry room to wash their hands?!
dd also has to wash the pill's feet in the laundry room sink EVERY time she comes in from outside, even if she wasn't barefoot when she went out.
too strange for me!
i think i'll have to have an early glass of wine before walking down to the bus stop at 3:11. yes, 3:11. mom told me not to go at 3:05 or 3:15, but to be there at 3:11. aaargh. of course, with the road construction, i got there at 3:09 yesterday (don't tell the mom!) and the bus came after 3:45.

RN I thought she might have been on board longer! Once she gets a folder I will have to welcome her to the world of acutally posting there!

RN, Welcome to posting, Greekbread!!!

RN I feel some of the drainage yuckies coming on! I just took a singulair and my nasal spray (and ibuprofin for the cramps I feel oncoming) so I hope I'm catching things. Otherwise, I may be a little unhappy the rest of the work week! At least I will be with people who will understand if I'm a little sluggish!

Right now I just finished watching this link my dad sent and am quite moved...

Worth your time to look at this.


Here is a powerful and amazing statement on Al Jazeera television.



The woman is Wafa Sultan, an Arab-American psychologist from Los Angeles.


I would suggest watching it ASAP because I don't know how long the link will be active:

Right now...just when you think romance is dead, and the younger generation just doesn't get it...comes this tale from my oldest daughter.

A couple of weeks ago, her boyfriend had the day off. He called her to ask what time she would be getting off work, and would she like to come over to his place afterwards for dinner. She gives him the time, and he asks if she would call when she is leaving. So as she is leaving work she calls to let him know that she is on her way, and he says, "So that means you will be here in about 18 minutes right?" She confirms thinking it has something to do with timing dinner.

When she pulls up in front of his house however...there on the front lawn is an 8 ft Skydancer, flinging and flailing his arms about. My daughter, who thinks skydancers are the funniest things ever, sits there and laughs her guts out until she cries.

She said the neighbors all got a kick out it as well. It was 105 degrees out, and here they are sitting outside enjoying the skydancer's antics.

Her boyfriend told her that when he went to pick the thing up at the rental place, the guy asked him why he was renting it...and he told the guy, "Because my girlfriend thinks skydancers are hilarious." The guy told him that's the best answer he's ever heard.

RN...hubby still hasn't finished that bottle of Mazola oil. In fact, he had another glass this morning, and commented that there was nothing like a glass of Mazola oil to start your day! I am beginning to wonder just how many glasses that thing holds!

A skydancer is one of those inflatable things that look like a person flinging their arms all over the place. They had them at the Olympics a few years back. They are most commonly used for advertising.
