Mes amis, one of the secrets to better living: sleep. Miraculously, I got eight-plus hours of sleep last night, woke up at 6 a.m. this morning, watched Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, cooked breakfast (scrambled eggs and potatoes, topped with grated Gruyère, thank you very much), and still had time to check my e-mail over a cup of coffee before leaving the apartment. Go, me.
However, now it’s mid-afternoon, and of course I’m ready to crash. TV note: Yes, I will be watching Martha, Inc. on NBC tonight. Artistic integrity, whatever… I would so love to be Cybill Shepard playing Martha Stewart, just to tramp around the meticulous mock-up of the Martha Stewart Living set and yell that line featured in the commercials: “Did I not ask for merlot?!” So bad, it’s good.

Silly me… I thought there was nothing on TV tonight. Thank goodness – I was afraid I’d have to read, or listen to music, or something like that. Dodged a bullet there!
As regards your last paragraph:
I concur with everything!
Is it just me, or is the constant violin underscore in the Martha Stewart movie driving anyone else completely nuts? It’s annoying, constant, and unyielding, much like Martha herself.
Heh, well put. I thought I heard a cello in there too, but in any case, yes, it’s kind of insidious. (I’m otherwise oddly enjoying this.)
