Yep, I watched The New Americans. I thought it was great. And eye-opening. I actually had a dream about Israel and Ngozi (sp?) - the Nigerian couple. I'm also REALLY looking forward to The Colonial House. I love all the pbs "house" shows. Thanks again for posting about the show! Oh, and I love the Man in Black, but I feel your pain re: the Johnny Cash song. I went to Austin City Limits last September, and it seemed like they played that song between every band...it really starts to get irritating after 20 or 30 listens.

from myra-lee :

Oh hooray! I'm so glad you posted that! I love Steve James (and PBS "reality" programs), and I had not heard about The New Americans. Thank you so very kindly for the tip. I, too, will be parked on the couch...with Thin Mints. Yum.

from flashingreds :

Not only is the news about Bret Michaels disturbing, but it's unoriginal. Rex Hobart and the Misery Boys have sooo already done the y'alternative version of "Every Rose Has Its Thorn." (http://www.bloodshotrecords.com/bands.php3?bandid=19) It's gorgeous.

from myra-lee :

Well, I'm disappointed to read of a hiatus, since I just discovered your diary! But good luck with pondering that problematic "to blog" dilemma. And remember: The Force will be with you...Always.

This is a test. (beep) This is a test of the Emergency Valentine's Day System. (EVS) This test is to see if leaving notes around DLand will make this a wonderful day (and weekend) in spite of not particularly being with anyone romantically at the moment. (ummm) May the results be that all this love in my heart found some productive use. (smile) And maybe a giggle or few (Happy V-Day from my other persona too :)

from coffeebitch :

As a good friend of mine once said about "Your Body is a Wonderland": I liked it better when it called "Crash Into Me" and was sung by Dave Matthews. Blech.

from fussbudget :

"your body is a wonderland" makes me so uncomfortable that i rush to change the channel every time i hear it. it's just so gross...

from fussbudget :

Newsweek did a big cover story on John Stewart and the Daily Show a few weeks ago. Stewart just kept saying, "but we're fake news!" Still, it's one of the few places were political candidates actually get grilled in interviews. It's so weird. Oh, and it was my second husband Jimmy Fallon who made the Newman joke. (Although, that crush is definitely waning.)

from grlscout :

I don't know if you're still redin', but I locked my journal, so if you want to break in, my username is scout and pswd is: cookie. ;) Scout

from fussbudget :

the *other* andre dubus that we all know was andre dubus II (or jr., i can't remember). the dubuses are from my hometown in massachusetts (which is the only reason i know there are two writing dubuses). i've been meaning to read house of sand and fog for ages....

from candoor :

yes positive, but then, I have a rather absurd sense of cynicism, or a cynical sense of humor, or a humorous sense of relativity, or a relative sense of life, or a living sense of the absurd, or something like that... in any case, I like what I read, but then, my approval is rarely something to write home to mom about... merry happy and all that jazz...

from dutch-girl :

I love you new layout. Happy Holidays.

from zoombeanie :

You are hilariously funny. And I love the layout. Hope you don't mind me adding you to my buddy list

from candoor :

you have a lot of energy on your page.

from coffeebitch :

Oh, I'm also a straight girl. This is a purely platonic crush, here. Your diary is great. I'm digging the 1, 2, 3 list format. I'm bad at transitions, so I often just number my paragraphs. Maybe I should make it a more regular thing. In fact, maybe I should update period!

from coffeebitch :

Is it okay for me to have a crush on you? I'm going to fret less and skip more next year, too. And the first time I ever saw the video to "Hey Ya" I stood, TRANSFIXED AND DROOLING in front of the TV.

from mrs-roboto :

That is definitely the funniest entry ever! I was especially entertained by the "it's not a party if I have to buy crap from you" bit!

from ktboots26 :

you don't know me, but I stumbled onto your journal and I had to drop you a note to tell you how damn funny you are, not to mention good taste. Not that you don't know that, but some things bear repeating. You have flair as a diarist and a knack for "finding the extraordinary in the ordinary" and even though I've never felt it before, I suddenly am overcome with a deep urge to run out and buy a paper shredder.

from dutch-girl :

It's been a while. Really glad you're back and survived the fires in Montana. The paper shredder sounds great.

from itzie :

That entry reminds me of that horrible forwarded (and obviously HOAX) message about the woman and the lobster. Had you read that recently? That one is so gross that it just gives me the chills thinking about it. If you haven't read it, don't go seeking it out. You'll never want to go near any aquatic animals again.

from fussbudget :

you don't even know how big my love for john mellencamp is. i would totally support that ticket! "wanna keep your little pink house? vote for mellencamp!"

from polly-esther :

Do you have a guestbook? I can't find it!! Thanks for visiting my diary. I perused a few entries and the word "alderwoman" tells me you might be Canadian. Am I right? I'll read more...

from bs-employee :

Three new notes is not a bad thing in my book. Thanks. Now as far as this black squirrel sighting goes--they're crazy! I went to Toronto a couple of years ago and I was walking around and a black squirrel ran across my path and I completely flipped out. I didn't know about them and I was just awed and amazed. It so funny that we are so shocked by a different colored squirrel. By the way, mind if I ask where in the midwest you reside? I used to be in Michigan and before that I was in Wisconsin.

from reddirtgirl :

That's so funny---I took that test a while ago, and I got almost exactly the same results you did. And of course, I too am a recovered Old Christian (Catholic or Lutheran as opposed to say, Southern Baptist) who considers herself agnostic. We're soul sistas!

from bs-employee :

Thank you ever so much for linking to my diary. I'm sorry it's been so sparse in the past few weeks. But you give me new hope. I'll be reading your diary today, because as you probably know, I have nothing else to do at work today.

from mrs-roboto :

I am going right to the bar to order a Jack and Dianne as we speak!

from mrs-roboto :

And by the way, I think Ben would make the perfect leading man for Can't Buy Me Love II!

from mrs-roboto :

Great stuff! I love your entries thus far. I'll be back soon.

from reddirtgirl :

Hey--this is really belated, but thanks so much for the sweet note. I'll be back!

from theotherchad :

I forgot to say in a previous note, your music faves rock. I thought I was the only one who remembered the awesome Johnette Napolitano of Concrete Blonde. One of the greatest songwriters of the last couple of decades.

from theotherchad :

Cow-workers! Ha! You are cracking me up over here. You will have lots of readers soon, I predict. I don't remember where I found Roadiepig, but he found you through me and squirrelx found you through Roadiepid (both of those guys are pretty entertaining too), and they'll tell two friends, and they'll tell two friends, and so on, and so on, and so on. Also, I bet your hair is really pretty and the bovine chick is just jealous.

from squirrelx :

I clicked on Roadiepig's link to your diary and I'm very glad that I did. Welcome to D-land! There's no more room for 'buddies' in my profile, but I'm fixin' to put a link to you on the additional favorites page I created. Best, Xtine / Squirrel X

from roadiepig :

"Doggy Fizzle Televizzle"? I guess I don't speak 'Rapper Slang'....it won't be as good as it could have been, if Snoop is still off the herb...(btw- I found your diary through theotherchad, and I linked you in my entry today...I will be back for more ;)

from theotherchad :

You're new, but you're good! I'm slightly less new. Of couse, I did know what Constant Comment was, but Cubicle Connie sure has an obnoxious boss. You're going on my favorites list. I like the cut of your jib, whatever the hell that means. I know tea, I don't know sailing.

from ewenorker :

You work in a swastika in The G Spot? Wow. What an interesting job! Keep 'em coming, Dundun.
