Coolest.Mail.Ever.

Before I mention my cool mail, an update.

My new nephew got to go home from the hospital yesterday. Many thanks for all your thoughts, prayers and encouragment. At birth, he was 7 lbs 9 oz, and 20 inches, which is almost exactly the size his Aunt Kate was. Quite respectable. I'm not sure if they every figured out what was causing his irregular test results, or other issues, but, he's doing pretty well.   

Okay. I can't stand withholding it any more. I got a mailing from Fox today with all of their Fall premieres on DVD. That's right. House. Bones. Standoff. Prison Break. Vanished. Justice. It's beautifully packaged, and it's a week before the earliest of them premieres. And I get to watch them *Now.*  Without commercials. I'm so thrilled. This just made premiere season so much easier. I feel like an actual TV VIP. Legally received screeners. Woot!

Once you've been tagged, you have to write a blog entry with five complete lies about yourself. That is, five things about you that are completely not true. Not even slightly. For the 6th line, write something that is absolutely TRUE. The first person to guess which one is true wins. :) Then tag up to five people you want to turn into compulsive liars too.

1. I once played Miss Malaprop in aproduction of  The Rivals
2. I have a birthmark the shape of Argentina on my left leg.
3. My favorite food is lemon-pepper chicken linguini.
4. I once won $1000 in the lottery.
5. I have been to a Garth Brooks concert.
6.  I once went to a tea with Mollie Sugden and got her autograph.

I'm not sure who to tag, since I seem to know multitudes of meme killers. Feel free to tag yourself if you'd like to play. That doesn't sound very appropriate, does it?

Hmm. does that imply I excrete TV? That might be, um, uncomfortable. ;)

Otherwise, I'm happy to be TVIP....

Brilliant news about your nephew and aren't you lucky with the premieres? Have fun watching :)

Thank you!

I am feeling lucky. It's pretty cool. I'm enjoying the watching, and I will have to post non-spoiler reviews.

lucky girl! Let me know if Bones was any good, ok?

As for the meme I´m guessing

Nope. Neither of those is the winner... *g*

Yay on both counts! Also - Yay you! You're the Yay-of-the-day today at the Beta.

Thank you! I'm feeling a tad sad to have let RL interefere with regular vists to the Beta. And, then, I go back, and it's still a comforting place...

Take a brilliant and sarcastic Dr. Cox, retain much of the humor, and give him really complicated medical cases to solve. Dr. Gregory House.

Mostly, one watches the show for Hugh Laurie. He's basically Shelock Holmes combined with Watson. The brilliant diagnostician who's a colossal jerk. I do get a bit tired of the "McGuffin" patient of the week, who they'll treat for 10 obscure ailments in the hour before House finds the right one. It's not appointment TV for me, it's a "it's not conflicting with anything else I like better," show. I don't tape it. Bones is in the same category for me.

I am sad that 24 has a January start, since *that's* my one Fox appt tv show, so, it's not included in the package.
