because i started doing this a few weeks ago, i guess i have to talk about the stupid sopranos today. and the west wing. don't ask why. i just do. i'm weird that way.
however, before i get to that which i must do, i'd like to point out a little something to you kids. remember a few weeks ago, when i told you all that robin & company (on headline news) was the best morning news show, hands 
down? (not to be confused with the daily show which is, hands down, the best show on tv, period). anyway. apparently stephen king thinks so, too. so...um... er... uh...y'know, you should watch. cuz it's an excellent morning news show. and mommy, who knows her, happens to think rather highly of robin meade, as well.
okay, now for a few minor--albeit lame--highlights from the programs mommy & daddy forced themselves to watch last night...
west wing: mommy & daddy are now more upset than ever to know the show is going away--because, in their most humble of opinions, west wing seems to have returned to its original roots, and keeps getting better by the week. 
that, and they reallyreallyreally like jimmy smits (oh how they bitterly lamented his "death" on nypd blue) and think it would be ever-so-fun to watch him play president for a few seasons.
sopranos: bada bing, bada bang, bada...ben kingsley? and a freakin' bada belt-in-the-freakin'-chops to freakin' lauren bacall? color mommy freakin' bada bummed! (mostly because these bizarre guest shots just added unnecessary irrelevence to a show desperately struggling for relevence-of-any-kind. or, at least, a f*cking direction, for cryin' out loud!) with vito still off in new humpshire hampshire trying to stay alive/find himself/find himself a piece of ass (literally), mommy thought the best line of the night 
belonged to christopher (before his hollywood coke-snortin'-hooker-uh--er--hookin'-extravaganza): "We were just discussing La Cage au Fat". pretty good for a wise guy, eh? of course, mommy thinks that line also applies to tony, who's literally growing larger on screen, frame by the 
frame... maybe that's because so much of last night's story line involved restaurants. and eating. and tony eating in restaurants. and on his boat. maybe not, but ya gotta admit, it's food for thought! get it? "food" for thought?? hahahahaha! (can't help it, sometimes i crack myself up...)
"You don't shit where you eat. And you really don't shit where I eat." ~ Tony Soprano (The Sopranos)
Now see...that was worth waiting for and brightened by blue Monday! You are the clever one you!
Love you.

dah dah dah....skipping over the Soprano's review - haven't had the chance to watch it yet. :)
I'm back dear friend! The trip was great, and I sent many a virgin margarita toast your way. And I wanted to thank you for your wonderfully kind & sweet comment the other day. You always make me smile. :))))

You know I am Italian and I have never watched The Sopranos, I suck don't I!!! And Jimmy smits - Well he's mine baby!!! And I sobbed and sobbed and sobbed when he died. He was always too good for that Diane -- stupid Jenny goody two shoes from All My Children!
And a special hug to you, thanks for the support about the post. I really do need to write about it, but God it's so painful. Blah!

I don't watch the Sopranos, but generally speaking any time a really popular tv show starts having a lot of "celebrity" guests...it's a bad sign, I'm talkin' sleeps wit da fishes bad.

Karen: you'd have totally loved this show a few seasons back... it's been a little lame for the past two years (tho' the lingo is still fun!) still, when you're in the mood for good mafia storylines, it's hard to go wrong with The Godfather and/or The Godfather part 2, know what i mean! : D
Sar: yaaaaay! so glad you're back and soooo glad to know you had a fabulous time!! (sorry about the Sopranos "non-review"... after you see the episode i think you'll agree, i didn't give very much away! tee hee!) : D
My Spin: i didn't know you were Italian! i'm Italian by osmosis (through my step-dad). you'd have totally dug the show in the earlier seasons, but seriously? it's not been that great lately. we watch because we're losers... heh heh. no, i think we're just curious to see how it all ends, at this point!
as for the post you're hesitant to write? i think you need to make sure you want to put that out there... clearly it weighs on you, maybe writing will make you feel better. but, here's the thing: maybe it won't. it's a potential can of worms, girlfriend--and sometimes it's better not to let 'em out... sometimes, it's okay to let the past *stay* in the past, ya know? : D
TDB: yep you're right about the random celeb appearances...i'd definitely say this show is gettin' ready to don a pair of cement boots!
by the way, that last post of yours? hilarious!! : D
CJ: i was worried that you wouldn't agree with me today... soooo glad ya do! (i think it's probably a good thing the show is gettin' ready to say ciao...) : D
Jom: the boy told me your test went well! YAY!!! i'm soo happy/relieved for you (i never doubted it would be otherwise!) hope thes next few days of rest and relaxation are filled with fun and laughter... are you going to see your family? or just explore a bit more of england? (you could have come here, you know...)
whatever you're doing, enjoy, stay safe, and take a lot of pictures! and always remember, we love you, sweet Jom! : D

Here I am! Late but I made it! I couldn't last night because I saw the Sopranos mentioned and thought I would watch it first (I watch everything with a one day delay as we download after it airs in the US... bad bohemians!)
Sopranos is just a mess so far... I am not too impressed! It may also be that I am so into 24 and Lost that their formats and fast-paced in your face style (which I love!) have desensitized me to the Sopranos!
You are a bloggin' dynamo my dear Neva! Lovin' your post and am so laughing at the quote of the day as it totally stood out to me when I watched the show!
Love my dear friend mucho!
