Simon Baker: Do you think it was wobbly this week because there was another Australian who was playing Australian on the show this week?

Okay, now,this is killing me!

Oh, our dalmatian would be the happiest dog in the world if she could wear a dog caftan. She walks under the curtains all the time, stopping so that they're draped artfully over her, and then she stands there waiting for us to notice her and tell her how pretty she is. When I wear long skirts -- same thing.

If she had her own caftan, maybe she'd stop dashing under my skirt.

Mentalist - went to IMDB, now I feel silly. I thought I recognized the actor who played Dr. Daniel - well I should have he was the main character in Monarch of the Glen. But that accent. . . I suppose it was English not Australian, wasn't it?

It certainly wasn't Scottish.

ugh, yeah, I just found out another friend of mine was laid off yesterday. Fortunately, her boyfriend who works for the same company kept his job.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: adding much-needed zombies to the Austen classic

A review. The reviewer doesn't like Jane Austen.

I couldn't finish it. But I expect if you were the kind of person who loves both Austen and zombies, this book would just plain knock your socks off.

But check this out:

And Quirk Books, the publisher of P&P&Z, was kind enough to give us an exclusive link to the first three chapters online for free, so you can make up your own mind

First three chapters of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

I don't think the book is on sale yet.
