She's Making a List...

Jay's mom has been bugging me for a christmas list. I dread this every year. I never know what to ask for. Anyone else have this problem? And it's not just the coming up with ideas, its the whole concept in and of itself. I'd prefer to be surprised. Gifts mean more to me when the giver came up with it on their own. I know Jay's mom is well-intentioned, she only wants to get me what I really want.

I always ask for CDs since I rarely buy them for myself throughout the year. There are a couple of DVDs I want - Alice in Wonderland and Bedknobs & Broomsticks. I'm afraid Jay's mom will make fun of me for these choices as she mocked Jay for putting Pete's Dragon on his list. To me, these are classic movies that we grew up with. Not only would I like to see them again, I'd like to share these childhood memories with my children someday.

Jay and I have also picked out a lot of Hallmark ornaments that we want. If we even get half of them, we'll have the greatest looking tree for years to come. Clothes are a given request. I always get lots of nice sweaters.

Oh, by the way, my birthday is this week - December 2 (the same as Britney Spears - woo hoo). I will be, dare I say it, 26 years old. Boy oh boy...I'm getting older every year...ha ha. I hope I have some fun birthday stories to share.

Let's Get Sirius!

Uuuugh....

I just came back from Union Square. I schlepped there to go see Howard Stern and the gang. He said he was doing a give-away. It was a mob scene like I expected. He was giving away free Sirius satellite radios with a free year's subscription. For those of us putzes in the back, we got a card (as shown here) to get a free radio with a year's paid subscription. I don't know if I'm gonna do it or not. I don't want Sirius now, Howard won't be on until 2006. What also sucks is that I have XM built into my car although I have yet to subscribe to it.

Opie & Anthony had some people with XM/ O & A signs but they got booed and totally out-numbered - it was great!

At least I got to see Howard, Artie, Gary and Fred...

Happy Girl

I'm a happy girl! My favorite TV show in the whole wide world - NIGHT COURT, is coming out on DVD - finally!

I have 17 tapes of this show that I taped when it was still on the air. I was a dedicated fan. I'm so excited that I'll have nice crisp DVDs of the show.

May favorite character was the womanizing Dan Fielding (played by the adorable John Larroquette.) Kinda screwed up that I had a crush on him when I was in like 5th grade!

Yay!!! It's a good day. I got the following article from www.tvshowsondvd.com

Night Court - Join Harry, Dan, Bull, Selma, etc. on DVD! **Updated** with extras

Warner Bros has announced a slew of new TV titles for release on February 8th. We've already told you that Full House, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Murphy Brown were coming to DVD in 2005, but now Warner has announced The Wayans Bros, The Jamie Foxx Show and Night Court will join them. That's right, 6 comedies will receive Season 1 sets on the same day, and Warner Bros intends to launch a large promotion around the titles.

Disorder in the Court! That's the order of the day when a parade of zany--and bizarre--characters passes before a rather unconventional and unpredictable judge in this hilarious sitcom.

The 13 episodes (338 mins) of Night Court season 1 will retail for $29.98, though you should be able to find it discounted to $25. The season will be released on 2 single-sided discs, with an English mono soundtrack, and English, French and Spanish subtitles. Special features include a look back at the origins of Night Court with Creator Reinhold Weege and star Harry Anderson. Episode commentary also included.

Back By Popular Demand

......well not really, just Diana's demand ; )

I know I've been slacking, but at least I have an excuse. I was sick. I had a rotten cold that wouldn't go away. All better now.

Nothing else terribly newsworthy, I don't think... Let's see.

Well actually, my grandpa is in the hospital. He was having a pain under his ribcage and went in for testing. They just decided yesterday that they want to put in a pacemaker. Apparently, his heart rate speeds up and then drops periodically. Luckily the procedure doesn't sound like a huge deal - only 15 minutes. His health otherwise is good. Not bad for a 92 year old.

I was cat-sitting again in the city last week also. I've been doing that a lot lately. Jay isn't thrilled about it; neither is my mom. They both miss me when I'm there. I enjoy "having my own place in the city," but it does get lonely and expensive. I get chinese steamed pork dumplings like every night. When I want to be cheap, I get 2 Gray's Papaya hot dogs and a drink for $2.75, mmm mmm good!!

I think I did enough rambling for the moment. Besides, it's lunch time yo!
