On this date in 1935, Judy Garland signed her first contract with MGM.

In 1954, The Tonight Show made its debut with host Steve Allen. Coincidentally, it’s also the birthday of Allen’s widow Jayne Meadows who turns 88 today.

And here’s something to make a body feel old. Shaun Cassidy turns 50 today!

Not much on tonight except Primeval. Nothing like hot British guys to perk a girl right up. :) Unless, it’s hot Navy SEALs, of course.

I’ll also be watching recorded stuff today. Last night I finally watched last week’s Eureka. Wow! I so did not see THAT coming. Also watched Criminal Minds and CSI: NY. Did the former seem a little, I don’t know, disjointed?

I was lazy last night and only wrote half a page. But, hey! That’s half a page more than I had before. *g*

Reading: Finished up Sofie Metropolis which I enjoyed tremendously (thanks, Brandy!). Then I started Bobbie Faye’s (kinda, sorta, not exactly) Family Jewels by Toni McGee Causey. Should be fun. :)

I just learned that screen legend Paul Newman, he of the amazingly blue eyes, died yesterday at the age of 83. Academy/Emmy/Golden Globe-Award winner, activist, race car driver, organic popcorn & salad dressing mogul. He was, in my opinion, the total package.

I’d heard earlier this summer that he was ill, most likely with cancer. That was indeed what took him from us.

And now I find myself incredibly sad.

Cool story about Hurricane Ike. The hurricane uncovered a mystery shipwreck off the coast of Alabama.

And now for my Survivor report. [»]
