On Sunday night I fell asleep during Mad Men. This unprecedented occurrence is due to the fact that showrunner Matt Weiner seems to have permanently inserted his head up his ass. In other words, I think he is putting a bit too much credence in his own press. Do I hope that somehow, someway he…

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-wwbO4LUMY I used to watch a lot of sitcoms, but haven’t been a regular viewer of any for years. Recently, however, I happened on The Vicar of Dibley, and am now completely hooked on this hilarious show. My PBS channel is currently showing episodes from 1999. Since the show didn’t end until 2007, I have…

I have no TV at home. I also have no flatmates, a very crappy radio, and tonnes of books. So to scatter amongst the reading and incessant laptop movie-watching, I decided (amongst other reasons) to pick up the guitar. The bad stuff: My fingers hurt. They have semi-permanent lines on them. I have cramps in…
It was a big week for reality TV fans like me, with, for the most part, a lot of good things happening. I was very happy that Rick Bayless won Top Chef Masters, but was disappointed that Hubert Keller finished in third place. The finale was enjoyable, with the finalists being challenged to create a…

Way back in March or April (I don’t remember exactly when), we put out house on the market because we plan to build in a new neighborhood outside of town. Unfortunately, our house hasn’t yet sold. At first, I was okay with the fact that it didn’t sell immediately, but now I’ve reached frustration mode. To be safe,…
Well, holey moley, welcome to Sandy’s new regular Tuesday morning Sunday night TV wrap up. And by Sunday night TV I mean Mad Men and True Blood. (Spoilers ahead. Seriously.) Honestly, I expected to be waxing profusely about how great Sunday night’s premiere was. Only I can’t because I’m not really feeling it.
The past few days, I’ve visited a few local thrift and consignment shops. I’ve never been a big consignment store buyer, but I heard about a good one in the next town over so I decided to check it out– and I am so glad I did. I found a great skirt, a fabulous pair…
