Soup Opera

You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video
I was cleaning the bathroom and toilet the other day when I heard the music to “soup opera” come on.  I ran to the lounge room (a short run I admit) because I didn’t want to miss out on the creative action.  My nephew [...]

Twilight Zone

As a child back in the 80’s The Twilight Zone scared me, even the theme gave me chills.  Now as an adult I have purchased the dvd’s to relive the thrill, however they are nowhere near as scary as I remember them.  So when Claire (aged 7) asked if she could watch one Luke and [...]

My favourite Golden Girl

I just skimmed the news website and saw …Estelle Getty dies at 84.  Well I can’t write my post on what I was going to now, not after reading that.  Estelle played the character of my favourite Golden Girl - Sophia.  I loved that character, feisty, witty and just plain funny.  Estelle was a great [...]

I just love Wednesdays.  The free local paper arrives and I get to do my favourite weekly task…  program selection duties.  Who cares about the community news I just want that T.V guide and a highlighter.   I sit down and highlight the shows I plan on watching and circle the shows I [...]

Oh brother not another Big Brother

I have noticed ads on the TV for the next series of Big brother, haven’t we suffered enough bad television?  This is no longer a social experiment when the contestants aren’t even using their real names.  This is all about ratings and controversy.  The more boobs and bums they can show the [...]
