Can you tell me how to get...

...how to get to Sesame Street?

One of the best reasons to own a TV (see previous post of Oct. 21 for two other very excellent reasons), Sesame Street is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. I remember watching this show and I still am a sucker for puppets, muppets, and all things furry and talkative.

After all, I can relate to being grouchy (like Oscar), feeling like I don't fit in (like Big Bird), wanting nothing but cookies (do I really need to specify this one!), or to having good friends (like Bert and Ernie).

I hope the magic continues!

Recovered. (Mostly.)

Feeling much better now, after a full 10 days of a nasty, nasty cold virus. Yuck.

So, did I miss anything?

TV Crushes

TH and I are huge NCIS fans, and I seem to have developed a crush on McGee, the geeky/nerdy computer specialist played by Sean Murray.

Cutie-patootie

I also am not opposed to watching Simon Baker, who plays "psychic" Patrick Jane on The Mentalist.

Book Review

The Grift, by Debra Ginsberg

Marina Marks, a psychic by trade, suddenly becomes truly aware of her gift, but not after becoming entwined in the lives of several needy people. I enjoyed this book, with its combination of cynically hopeful and fragile characters, its safely spooky elements of dreams and visions, and its conflicted heroine. A mystery, a romance, and a view into the minds of people, it's also a really great read that I couldn't put down. Recommended!
