2007 is almost over! Hallelujah!!! This has not been the best year of my life. I am so over it. Here’s to hoping (and praying) that 2008 is much better!
Today in entertainment history:
- In 1929, Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians’ first New Year’s Eve broadcast from the Roosevelt Grill in New York City was heard over the CBS network. (That would be the radio network.)
- In 1947, America’s favorite Western movie couple, singing cowboy Roy Rogers and co-star Dale Evans, were married.
In strike news, the Los Angeles Times reports that some soap opera writers are returning to work using some weird loophole in the WGA membership I didn’t quite understand.
There isn’t much on tonight, so I’ll probably do what I did last night. Watch DVDs and/or recorded shows. Last night I watched Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (and how does Johnny Depp manage to make such a scuzzy character as Captain Jack Sparrow so sexy???), then explored the bonus goodies on the National Treasure DVD. Have I ever mentioned how much I love DVD bonus goodies? It’s almost like Christmas!
Reading: I’m into the next Ellie Haskell mystery by Dorothy Cannell, Bridesmaids Revisited. Have you notied the last few have had cleverly revamped movie/book titles for their titles?

Are you a Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers fan? TCM is having a marathon tonight.
Happy New Year and may 2008 be a bring you success.

I wondered that about Johnny Depp myself. *g* Tonight there are many tv marathons on. I’ve been switching back and forth from L&O and L&O:SVU. *g*
I hope next year is a better year for you, and for Me! *G*
Have a Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I got hubby the Keen Eddie DVD set. He likes it. I didn’t realize so many episodes hadn’t been shown. I just with they would have extras. Like you posted, that’s one of my fave things about DVDs!
