"Will & Grace" v. "Desperate Housewives" - pairing Will against Bree, Susan against Jack, Lynette against Grace, and Gabrielle (not housewife, not the sidekick) against Karen...based on personality and attitude.

(Warning: From the website affiliated with a gay-oriented magazine. There's nothing vulgar in the article or on any of the ads. For the most part, it's all pretty PG-13. But in case you prefer not to go to certain sites, there's fair warning. )

Season premiere is September 25th...

I have pre-ordered the Season 1 DVD due out September 20th.

Two...months...away...?

Hey Shawn....here's something to drool over, while you're crawling on the desert floor waiting for season 2....Marcia Cross is featured on the cover of a current hairstyle magazine...forget title, maybe something to do with Celebrity Hairstyles? Her hair is curly, instead of straight for a change. She looks as pretty as she does on DH! So rush out and buy this issue....

Yes I'm still trying to find "my" hairstyle.....and then have to decide who I'll go to. Without a hairdresser right now.....

PS - oh I have to tell you all something so funny! A friend of mine lives in a suburb, started the same year as ours. She asked me if some of the homes on our street have had many owners now (after 16 years). I said half have had turnovers and of course younger families.....then she said the street next to her (small culdesac) has 7 divorced women on it!!! SEVEN!!! I said that sounds like a soap opera to me and a contractor's dream come true!!! Picturing Nicollette Sheridan opening the front door in skimpy clothing, to have her repairs done.

Two...months...away...?

Look on the bright side... we are now over halfway through the summer break. May 22nd was the finale.

Duckie slept with an Emmy!!! I can see the next newsletter headlines.....quack, quack!!! LOL

Had to buy another software CD for my camera from Ebay. (Note to self -- just because it's a CD doesn't mean it belongs with all your music. ) Now that I bought another one, the original will probably turn up.

Anyway, finally got the pics uploaded.

Not sure what's up with the one close-up...it's too bright. Notice I made sure to get S2K in the pic.

[Miss Mary]

Cool pics Shawn! Is that a sign that says simply, "Imagine" on your wall? If so, my daughter Laura would love one for her room. She's a devoted John Lennon fan and practiced for many months, learning his long version of Imagine, to play at her piano recital. I had goose bumps when she performed!

Got off on a tangent there.....LOL

Yup, Mary, it is an "Imagine" sign, but it's not mine...nor my wall...nor my Emmy. I didn't even feel worthy enough to *touch* the Emmy! From the photo, it looks like the Emmy is on the computer monitor. But actually, it's sitting on one of those small display shelves that attaches right into the corner of the wall. To the left of the "Imagine" sign is the certificate that goes along that Emmy (she has two certificates, but just one statuette -- two Emmy awards for two different documentaries).

I'll have to ask where she got the sign next time I see her.

Tangents are okay. After all, you're a mom who is proud of her daughter. Very cool. I bet it was beautiful to hear. Has she ever seen "Mr. Holland's Opus?" A Lennon fan who is also a musician would love that one.

[Miss Mary]

Years ago we watched that movie. But I'm sure she was too young to remember it. I'll rent it soon, thanks for the reminder.

I'm going to search for that Imagine sign! I'll just google it.....she has her iPod engraved with "John Lennon" "Imagine all the people". Two lines, one on each. I saw it and said, how about your name (thinking as a mom, if she loses it). The look on her face - my name instead of John Lennon's? A few years ago both our daughters wanted to know if we had any Beatles music on CD. We had bought a double disc set, their greatest hits. And of course have their work, not everything, on vinyl (we are baby boomers). Heck, I probably have a few 45's too.....he he. They started listening to these greatest hits discs and long story short, they know more about the Beatles than I do at times! It's true. They each have Beatles T-shirts (Laura, at least 4), their own music now, etc. I guess my vague comments over the years did the trick. I've been known to say many, many times - the saddest day in Rock & Roll is when Dec. 8, 1980 happened. THE saddest I still say (Elvis did himself in, very sad, but he didn't have to over-medicate himself to that extreme), we were robbed of Lennon. I could cry all over again.

Another tangent....on a DH thread....wow, you can tell the show is in reruns....LOL

I promise not to do this in the Fall - I'll stay on subject....
