One of the only times I've ever been called a "Good Do Bee", and I remember quite vividly the threats with the hairbrush every day on set by my mother if I didn't behave myself perfectly while the taping went on. It was quite the experience.<BR/><BR/>Laura is a movie fanatic. She quotes constantly-and I do mean constantly. Half of her conversation is made up of things she hears characters say, we all even play the "Who is she being now?" game, trying to guess which character and show she's gotten the newest particular phrase from. Yes, it sounds bad on the first telling, but as you relate with Holy Daughter, Laura's got a vocabulary and a way with words that far outshines most of her age group. That she understands context and inflection at her age and uses them appropriately in an entirely different home situation is quite remarkable, I think, and I have to owe that to the boob tube. That, and of course, my remaining sanity. <BR/><BR/>Now I'd rather set myself on fire and run naked through the streets than watch most of today's television fare, but I do confess to the same Ugly Betty fascination, and I fall asleep to Anderson Cooper every night too. <BR/><BR/>Truly, soul sisters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15797136.post-75179222918538725462007-11-28T18:25:00.000-08:002007-11-28T18:25:00.000-08:00New bio of Friendly Giant - Look Up - Way Up!.

We now have a new family tradition of eating dinner (quickly) so we can watch Jeopardy! The kids think I'm a genius and it's a hell of a lot better than what they used to watch<BR/>What really gets at me is how the commercials are so geared toward telling the kids that they <I> must buy </I> ________ (you name it) because it's the newest, coolest thing ever.<BR/>Bastardo's! It is amazing what the kids will believe because they saw it on TV.<BR/>But then...<BR/>I used to believe I could be David Cassidy... hahahahahaha! Well, I had his haircut for many, many years. hahahahaha! He had one of the original mullets, dontcha know?!<BR/>Romper, Bompers, Stomper, Boom!<BR/>I used to live to hear my name called when they looked through the magic mirror on Romper Room. I never heard it. Natalie was not a very common name then. *sigh*<BR/>Ever since I watched that reality show with Flava Flave, Whitney (Bobby) Houston, and the last episode of "Intervention", I've sworn off reality shows. But they are like watching a train wreck...<BR/>I'm stickin' with Animal Planet, Discover, The Travel Channel, The Food Channel, and CSI. Otherwise, I use it to put me to sleep after all of those quad-espresso's with 5 raw sugars.<BR/>Better than Benadryl!<BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
