Casey wants me to write a blog rant about how we couldn't watch our Thursday night comedy line-up tonight (the only night we watch TV) because the local NBC affliliate interrupted our regularly scheduled progamming to bring us repetitive on-going commentary on a tornado warning in a city almost one and a half hours to the north of us, with the storm moving north, yes, farther away from us. And they continued this coverage for over an hour and a half. possibly longer, we stopped checking. Thankfully (and for my blog-rant, ironically) I don't think there ever was a tornado. I wonder if deep down inside the meterologists get disappointed when the big storm doesn't actually show up, or, if just the "energy in the air" from the storm and from the attention of continuous coverage is enough to get there adrenaline pumping. But I shouldn't rant too much - I just saw on their website that there's a tornado watch in my area until 1am. Not as exciting as a tornado warning, but I don't want to upset the Powers That Be with my arrogance again (yes, a link to that post again!).

The Complete Jane Austen on PBS!!!
For all my fellow Jane Austen fans - this Sunday is the beginning of the Jane Austen series on Masterpiece Theater. In my area, it is on at 9:00 on Sunday nights, but you can check here to find out when it will be on your local station, just click on TV Schedules at the top. I'm very excited about the series, I first heard about it 6 months ago and I've been waiting eagerly. The series will show movies of all 6 of her books and then include a drama based on her life. Maybe I'll try to re-read the books again and work towards my New Years goal. The only one I haven't read yet is Northanger Abbey. I think that Persuasion will be the first movie shown. If anyone is planning to read the books also, let me know.
Do you think Casey will watch it with me?
