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.
Jessica, there must be some places that would give you a free estimate. This site gives a ballpark of $500-1000. (It's a Canadian site so materials may be less. But I don't know if there's a NY premium on labour.) [link]
I would estimate a couple hours work each for a plumber and a carpenter. I would love a dishwasher...really, a whole new kitchen.
TMZ is reporting that Jay Leno will go back to the 11:30pm timeslot after the Olympics, which means that Conan is out of a job.
Boo!
Chicago Snow 2010: STUNNING Pictures Of Winter Storm (PHOTOS)
This pic of a tiny dog trying to walk in the snow is great: [link]
Hee. That's an accusing look on that dog's face. I've seen the same look on my parents' dog when she starts to go outside, and then discovers that it's raining.
Even funnier are 11 Hilarious (and Very Necessary) Newspaper Corrections. They are truly amazing.
That 1969 NYT one is a thing of beauty.
Conan on TDS? No. Stewart would never be able to get anything done.
And the Ottawa Citizen was clearly having some fun with the correction of their correction.
I once read a hilarious correction in the NYT about how many bras Ivana Trump buys in a year. She actually buys one dozen in each color, not twelve dozen in each color. So you know.

Booo!
So I went to the Whole Foods. I hate that place. In addition to the cat food (and they didn't have the flavor I usually get), I got some store-brand crackers and spicy cheddar cheese. So that was exciting.
The corrections were much fun.
I can't really see myself watching the Tonight Show with Leno or Conan because it isn't my thing, but I'm not sorry to see Conan go. I never saw him do the 11:30 thing, but I tuned in 3 times to see his later night show when he had a guest on that I was particularly fond of. All 3 times he knew absolutely nothing about the guest, hadn't seen the work, read the book, whatever. I never watched his show again.
I'm sure he is a talented fellow, but he really turned me off with his lack of preparation. At least when Jon Stewart hasn't read the book or seen the movie he will fess up to it. I hope Conan improved over time, but I never gave him another chance.
Man, I think Conan is so much funnier than Leno, although I'm not a super-regular watcher.
I also had some instant karma action: I found a $5 bill at the Whole Foods, and just shoved it in my pocket. So when I pulled my iPod out of that same pocket outside, the money went flying away in the wind. Easy come, easy go!
