I've been gone for 2 1/2 days all because of problems with the cable. It went out on Friday afternoon and has now been restored. These problems also affected my viewership of the first My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic episode of the new half of the season. I've heard that one of the great people I've encountered, the great Stellar Bubbles, has resumed Internet activities. I wish her renewed success on the Net. Cox Communications have done a

A Nevada woman had to go out of her house and do THIS.

Sad isn't it?

Judy McKim decided to paint the notification after she says police assaulted her son, Zachary, at a time when significant scrutiny is placed on officers in the US, whom many believe are ill-equipped in de-escalation tactics when interacting with people with psychological disorders.

Finally got my hands on the titular day's edition of the ARIZONA DAILY STAR. I've long looked for that, and it finally came to my house on Friday. So, I can publish a written schedule of what was on that day. This took 3-4 days to assemble, and plenty of effort too.

Tucson: (4) KVOA, NBC (6) KUAT, ''UA'' (actually, NET; UA does, however, refer to the University of Arizona) (9) KGUN, ABC (13) KOLD-TV, CBS (owned at the time by the late Gene Autry)

In 1958, RCA released the film soundtrack of South Pacific, which was based on the musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein, which had been first staged nine years earlier; Rodgers and Hammerstein had much say in this recording, with many of the songs performed by accomplished singers rather than the actors in the film. Mitzi Gaynor and Ray Walston were the only two leading performers who did their own singing in the film (and on the soundtrack album). The roles of Emile

Jesse's about to drag the Record Ripoffs concept kicking and screaming out of the vinyl age and into the Internet age.

Throughout Magnetic Video's existence, you had to be a wealthy man in order to get a factory sealed copy of one of their tapes (or at the very least have membership in Andre Blay's Video Club of America. That being said:

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn’t you?
People’d call, say, “Beware doll, you’re bound to fall”
You thought they were all kiddin’ you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin’ out
Now you don’t talk so loud

. . . and in that conversation, I used Mike Douglas' remarks about Jerry Springer to demonstrate my two big morals: Be a good sport and be a good role model.

Needless to say, Jerry Springer doesn't happen to fit either category.

I saw some terrific analysis in this one. Back when the original SW films came out, there were parents who actually encouraged the younger audiences to see the films or other ancillary material that the parents grew up with.

I just discovered that one of our friends, RedVelvet Melody, is actually Jewish! You might well call us two the Irish-Jewish FIMFic Buddies! I think you may well do that from now on!

Panorama TV Magazine was a 17-issue short-lived magazine from Triangle (the TV Guide folks) featuring in-depth articles about TV without the artist-and-gossip content found in most magazines.

Hello there.

Yesterday, I went to PDQ Records off Grant Road in my area once again and picked up another few vinyls. Even though I've increasingly gone back go buying VHS tapes (and in fact had a couple on my mind at the time) I never really gave up on collecting vinyl records.

And so I bought 2 LPs and 3 45s, two of which are EPs and one of which is a hit single from the past. Click the little green button to get started!
