Moonlighting

One of my favorite shows from the 80's was Moonlighting starring the great Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd.  I have the first and second season on DVD.  Here is a classic clip from the episode called The Murder's in the Mail.  Enjoy!

Good book

I just finished reading a good book called I've Got Your Number written by the British author of the bestselling Shopaholic series.  It's a fun quick read and I really enjoyed it.  I've read most of Sophie Kinsella's books and this one doesn't disappoint.

Here is a summary of the plot from the author's website -

Poppy Wyatt has never felt luckier. She is about to marry the ideal man, Magnus Tavish, but in one afternoon her 'happy ever after' begins to fall apart. Not only has she lost her engagement ring but in the panic that followed, she has now lost her phone. As she paces shakily round the hotel foyer she spots an abandoned phone in a bin. Finders keepers! Now she can leave a number for the hotel to contact her when they find her ring. Perfect!

Well, perfect except the phone's owner, businessman Sam Roxton doesn't agree. He wants his phone back and doesn't appreciate Poppy reading all his messages and wading into his personal life.

What ensues is a hilarious and unpredictable turn of events as Poppy and Sam increasingly upend each other's lives through emails and text messages. As Poppy juggles wedding preparations, mysterious phone calls and hiding her left hand from Magnus and his parents... she soon realises that she is in for the biggest surprise of her life.

If you enjoy chick lit, I'm sure you'll like I've Got Your Number.  I think I read it in 4 days.

Jon Hamm news

I just found an old article in the New York Daily News where Jon Hamm talks about his struggle with chronic depression -

I'm glad he found the help he needed to deal with the problem.

Jon Hamm not handsome?

In the following New York Daily News article, Jon Hamm is quoted as saying,"I just don't even consider myself handsome."  He names George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Ryan Reynolds as truly handsome guys.

Woody Allen news

According to the following article in www.variety.com, Woody Allen's next film will be shot mostly in San Francisco and New York not Copenhagen as was reported.  His newest movie since winning the Oscar for "Midnight in Paris" is called "To Rome With Love" and stars Roberto Benigni, Penelope Cruz and Alec Baldwin.
