Working...

More working and organizing-especially the Resolution Ball and the Blogger meetup (http://blog.meetup.com/3/). For the meetup, I am working on a political blogging discussion.

Busy, busy

Today was a laundry list day where bills were paid, work was done and plans were made. One of the biggest things I have going on is recruiting volunteers for the Resolution Ball (http://www.resolutionball.com/), which supports the Ellie Fund (http://www.elliefund.org/), a nonprofit that provides assistance to breast cancer survivors by assisting them with everyday needs. I am the chair and it (the committee) has been merged with fundraising and well...we shall overcome.



I was listening to Judge Judy, which apparently is "child support" and "stupid fight" day.

Must see syndicated tv

People are talking about the strike...on NPR's 'Talk of the Nation', they are mentioning the shows that people should give a second look on DVD or RERUNS to watch out for.
My list would read as follows (in no order of preference-just listin'):

Mama's Family
Carol Burnet Show
Good Times
Are you Being Served?
Book of Daniel
Firefly
Freaks and Geeks
Dallas-especially the seasons leading up to and just after "Who Shot JR"?
Newhart
The Bob Newhart Show
Jack Benny-especially when the episodes centered around his life
Maude
Golden Girls
Alice
Cold Case
Roar
Xena
Select episodes of Hercules
Cleopatra 2525
Jack of All Trades
Cowboy Bebop
Ghost In Shell
Digimon Seasons 1-3
Gimme a Break (until the death of the father)
Newsradio
WKRP
EastEnders
The Vicar of Dibley
The Blackadder series (all of them 1-4, the specials and Blackadder: Back and Forth)
Roseanne
Grace Under Fire (up to the last season)
Committed
Close to Home
Hawaii Five 0 (if you must watch the final season, do it to see McGarrett finally get Wo-Fat or to learn how to wreck a good series)
Dynasty (select episodes)
Falcon Crest
The Colbys (select episodes)
Murphy Brown
AMEN (if nothing else, watch the opening-one of the best theme songs for a show)
Lou Grant
Soap
Sports night
Wacky Races

I guess I could go on, but will stop for now. I suspect that future posts will consist of me extending this list.

AS FAR BEHIND AS...

Well, I missed the weekend. There was a lot going on with finishing up work on helping out at Steppin' Out and sleeping. I liked sleeping and watching the Phantom Gourmet on Sunday. I did do some NaNo writing and cleared 2611 words. Pakistan has lost its mind and there is a writers' strike. I wonder if guildmembers will participate in NaNo now that they have some more time (or less-bills still need to be paid).


LOOK WHAT I FOUND:

DAY 2

Sometimes I get annoyed at how much time and energy work takes away from more fun things than can be productive as well. I did write for NaNo during 'ER,' though am a little disturbed that they want to have Abby fall off the wagon. I understand that as a high pressured job, an 'ER' doc who is a mom would be challenged and that something like this would not be completely out of the ordinary, but I feel that I want to for once see a woman doctor on that show who is not a damsel in distress. Someone not perfect but managing, like every other mother does.

November 1st

Today is the day. Today is the first day of the rest of the Blog Post month (NaBloPoMo, y'know). So much to do today and for the rest of the week. I have yet to begin writing for NaNoWriMo, but I will do that during ER...

I listened to NPR as usual. I am so used to hearing On Point between 10am-12pm, that I can't stand to watch tv on my days off during that time period because there is nothing on that I REALLY care about.

One topic of discussion on today's On Point was the fact that the network nightly news as we know it is circling the drain. It's true that I don't watch it much anymore, that is more of a function of me not being home at 6:30pm than lack of interest. Of the big three, I will watch Charles Gibson, since I watched him from Good Morning America. I never liked Katie Couric and I have no idea what crack Les Moonves was smoking when he thought that she was an improvement over Rather and Schieffer.

The day after Halloween is somber-at least for me. It also means 1/2 price candy...
