Werewolf Bar Mitzvah

Sick all day with pain and fatigue that’s been worming its way through my entire week. So, again I find myself looking for solace in the TV show, “30 Rock.” I am quite pleased with how worldly “30 Rock” is.

Growing up I read Entertainment Weekly religiously and I was the kind of girl who dreamed of having her own personal theater. Though, we only saw movies on… Continue reading Television Woes

Sunday laziness

Wow, Desperate Housewives is really interesting. Charmed is crazy. I still haven’t graded a thing. Sigh.
