Happy Birthday Burrell!
Natter 54: Right here, dammit.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I should have taken the hint when tornado coverage last night bumped the premiere of Viva Laughlin to 2:07 am in my market. Watching it used up an hour of my life and gave me a headache in return.
I just stuck around to watch Hugh Jackman's arrival, singing/lip-synching "Sympathy for the Devil." That man is smokin' hot, even when he's in something as bad as Viva Laughlin. BTW, all that lip-synching to get around the "musical TV" label? Ain't foolin' nobody, and just annoyed the hell out of me. Either you're a musical and embrace it, or just skip the songs completely. I could barely hear Hugh over Mick and the boys!
Speaking of singing along, this bird is totally rockin' the house!
Oh, and I forgot to say--Happy Birthday, Burrell!!!

They're emulating "Blackpool", the British series on which it was based. But they're not emulating it with enough gusto, at least not in the twenty minutes or so I watched last night. If you're going to be singing along to the soundtrack, you have to go for it. Unless you're Melanie Griffith. Then you should shut the hell up.
Is the lead in Viva Laughlin from the show Monarch of the Glen? It kept weirding me out. Also weirded me out how Madchen Amick has seemed to not age since Twin Peaks.
Happy birthday Burrell!!!
ION, FBI raids illusionist Copperfield's warehouse
LOS ANGELES - FBI agents have seized nearly $2 million in cash from a Las Vegas warehouse owned by illusionist David Copperfield, local media reports said on Thursday.
The agents also took a computer hard drive and a memory chip from a digital camera system during Wednesday's late-night operation. The reports said the raid stems from an investigation in Seattle.
I suppose there's a joke in there somewhere.
No word on what the investigation is about. The $2 mil was probably not intended for homes for homeless puppies....
Happy birthday, Burrell!
Thinking good thoughts for you and K and Gracie, Kat. And K's parents sound like good folks.
Happy Birthday, Burrell!
Tova's mom says: Tova is a long-coated German shepherd. She is from working lines and will some day be a search-and-rescue dog. She already plays "find the treat." I can tell her to sit and have her wait while I go out of sight to hide it, and then when I say "find," she runs over and sniffs and sniffs until she finds it. I can also tell her "out" and have her drop whatever is in her mouth, unless it is bacon.
Awww... future working doggie! She should do fine, as long as she's never called upon to rescue bacon.
edit to fix typo and make actual sense....
