10.29.12 Bearing up well

By Randee Dawn | 10/30/12

Bear with, bear with. (Yes, I am mildly absorbed/obsessed with the British series "Miranda" at the moment, how's that for an obscure reference.) I do this blogging thing a little here, a little there, and then a lot not anywhere. But now that I'm connecting this blog in a couple of places it hasn't been…

Behind the mask

By Randee Dawn | 3/22/11

At the risk of making life sound far more exciting than it has been lately (helping my man recover from pneumonia involved a lot of letting him sleep while I tiptoed around the apartment), I went off to another screening last night.

TV Land I don't care if it is a hunk of wiring and cathode ray, I spend enough time staring at it that when it dies, it's hard not to feel a little nostalgic. My Sylvania God Knows What Model TV set is terminal. She's my second TV set, a used one I'd been given…

Jr. Network News So for those who have an interest in such things, I'll be appearing on Alex Witt's news show on MSNBC tomorrow at 9:15 ET and 10:40 ET. In the ay-em, as they say. Which kills a late Saturday night, I tell you. We will be discussing how Michael Moore's new film "Sicko"…
