This ‘n’ that
Anybody else watching SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE on Fox? Hubby and I are both former dancers (he, ballroom; me, ballet) so this was a no-brainer for us. Although I think if Lauren Sanchez says “Give it up” one more time, my normally mellow husband is going to crawl through the screen and strangle the poor dear. And we could do without taking a half hour and roughly five hundred commercials to tell us which two dancers got the axe. Spare us the sturm-und-drang. Please.
BUT. The dancing is often nothing short of phenomenal. By this point, doesn’t matter who goes on to “win,” we’re seeing most of these gals and guys with nice careers, anyway. As guilty pleasures go, this one’s a winner in our book. Just plain fun to watch.
Speaking of reality shows — we’re gearing up for season four of The Apprentice. Yeah, yeah, it’s shlock, but it’s entertaining shlock. This jury of two is out on whether or not we’ll give Ms. Stewart’s clone a shot. Could be amusing.
Finished Terry McMillan’s THE INTERRUPTION TO EVERYTHING, quite liked it. Felt more focused to me than some of her other books (I’ve read them all), and nobody can touch the woman when it comes to dialogue. Pretty typical menopausal-woman-reassesses-her-life premise, but one that sparkles in McMillan’s voice. Oh, and stumbled across one of Eileen Dreyer’s hardback mysteries in Sam’s Club yesterday — I adored her Kathleen Korbel romances, so will be curious to see if I like her mysteries as much.
