Wake Up World! online "morning show"


I was reading in the Sunday New York Times an article about Lizz Winstead, formerly of Minneapolis and creator and original writer of "The Daily Show" that she has a new "show" in New York City. They perform this on Monday nights and it's a spoof of all the morning "talk shows." I had to check it out, of course. I had met Lizz way back in the early 1990's when I was working at the Children's Theater Company, she is a very good friend of a woman who was in Marketing at CTC at the time. Well, this show is hysterical and they put clips on their website (click here) I especially enjoyed the "Where in the **** is Davis Miles?" a great parody of Matt Lauer's "travels" on the Today show.

Project Runway spoof

OK, so I am a big fan of "Project Runway" on Bravo. This last season was very interesting, and funny. SNL did a great spoof of the winner of this past season, with Amy Poehler as Christian Siriano. Check it out.

Winter, will it ever end?

So it's been lightly snowing for the last day and a half. That's so tiring to me right now, heck it IS officially spring. Although the "wet" snow is pretty, I'm so over it. I'm ready to get out and about biking, walking in the sun, walking the dogs when it's nice out, and not have to put the dogs' little winter jackets on them. And Max hates the snow and cold and the wetness. He'll basically just stand there sort of "shaking" like it's the worse thing ever for him. Even when it's 40 degrees. The poor little thing. :) And I'm more than ready to get my fingers sunk into the garden areas again, we have plans to extend the main garden area and pretty much get rid of grass in that area and just have plants and flowers. And if the roses did well over the winter... we are going to add more rose bushes. What else has been happening? Not a lot I guess, I've been busy at work with our new season being on-sale. Haven't seen any films lately, but we did attend "Jane Eyre" at the Guthrie last weekend, which was incredible. "Jane Eyre" is one of my favorite classics, and this adaptation was really really good, without being six hours long. It was about 3 hours long, pretty typical for the Guthrie.
