I may not be a good internet auntie, I just know babies with colds are miserable.

OK, no one else can probably follow this, but is that a new Helen ex-Lynley on Inspectory Lynley? Cause I don't recall this actress at all. The other seemed more vulnerable. This one is a badass.

Of course, I could be confused.

Won't help with this project, but might help with the next one....

I dare guess you've never worked with Israelis before. Nobody (other than me) will remember anything next year. But thank you anyway for the offer. It's very comforting to know that I'm not alone in being awake, even if y'all are in different timezones.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I know, Dana! I almost didn't want to say anything.

Inspector Lynley (not that any one cares) so they got a new actress for his ex-wife for all of an ep to kill her off. That's lame.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

LOVE inspector Linley... and that is lame.

Quick question for theater people. A friend got pressured into playing the madman in the Telltale Heart for Halloween. (How original!). The question, at the end when he starts raving he breaks into uncontrollable laughter. Are there any tricks real actors know for not breaking up when delivering lines they find hilarious?

"It's no secret you turn to potatoes in times of need." -- Daniel, Ugly Betty

Teppy, a few weeks ago I got a tape from a friend with the beginning of "Ugly Betty", the first season, and a "You *have* to see this!" excited recommendation. We had an Israeli version (of the original telenovela), which was mostly silly, and not much more than that. My friend assured me that the USA version is great. Your tagline makes me guess that you agree with her?

It really IS great! At first I wasn't sure I'd like it, because I can't handle shows/stories that involve humiliating a character, and I was afraid that "Ugly Betty" could head that way. It hasn't, though, and it's had some fantastic moments.
