In happier news, I got home today to find a belated birthday gift from my friend
Mark in Toronto
The thing about mail from Canada is it always looks so exotic because of those crazy Quebecois insist on everything being in French. I hurriedly tore into the wrapping paper and cried out in (honest to God) glee:
Of course, I don't have a DVD player, but still!
It's very exciting.
I remember when I first met Mark, years ago. We were walking through the French quarter and he commented
"you're like the Gay male Mary Tyler Moore"
I was floored.
It was uncanny, because that's exactly a running joke I'd made about myself too.
(with (we agreed) more than a good dash of Rhoda Morgenstern.)
Mary and I were (well, then at least) both young naive singles....going on lots of dates...but never quite putting out.
As time has gone on, I think I've become more Rhoda-like than Mary like, but I guess that's inevitable, isn't it?
Now, what I want to know, is why can't one find Rhoda on DVD? (What kind of evil shiksa conspiracy is going on out there?)
I'd even buy a machine for that, I think.
Musical Monday: WHITE CHRISTMAS
-
Darlings, it’s time once again for our annual Christmas tradition (now in
its 18th year, if you can believe it), the perennial “White Christmas,”
done up...

Whether you're a Mary or a Rhoda, it's good to see you *smiling* again!
(I've always been more of a Phyllis, myself. With a little Sue Ann Niven thrown in the mix. Watch out!)
(Nah, who am I kidding. I'm Rhoda's sister Brenda...)
Sue Ann and Phyllis?
But of course, the two most fabulous!
Do you have Brenda's sexy voice? :)
I'm Bess. ;o
Yeah, I can totally see you throwing your beret up on the air, Jason.
I used to have a beret actually....remember?
lol
I bet Mary had nose bleeds, too. Probably from not enough put out.
Of course I remember your beret. That's the picture I had in my head. You, with your big face mole and accent, throwing your leather beret up into the air. :)
MrPeenee:
lol
you're probably right
I am always right. It's a burden I bear.
