Reading, Listening and Watching

Reading: If You See the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him! by Sheldon Kopp. I'm finding this a bit hard to get through. Also, it seems to be about people who are looking for a guru or treating their therapist as one, and that doesn't seem to be true for me.

The Magnificent Ambersons by Booth Tarkington. I had to skip a chapter or two of this one near the beginning because I just hated reading about that obnoxious little kid. Of course, he's pretty obnoxious as an adult too - ugh.

Listening: Recent Hip Tranquil Chick podcasts. I listened to a couple of these while working out on my elliptical trainer today.

Watching: Curb Your Enthusiam, Season Five. We finished this season, and I believe that was the end of the series. As I said before, the main character is unlikable, and the show is offensive, but it's also really funny.

Miss Marple: The Body in the Library (2004) starring Geraldine McEwan. They are having a run of Miss Marple mysteries on public TV here, with the "new" Miss Marple as played by Geraldine McEwan, and I tape them. This week's coming installment, Sleeping Murder, is one I that I saw before with Joan Hickson in the title role. I think I like Geraldine McEwan even better, and the stories are so good and complex, I can watch them again anyway.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Season Four. I'm about two thirds of the way through this, and looking forward to the release of season five. I'm very hopeful that they will release the whole series eventually. And I saw that season one of Rhoda is now listed on amazon. Its listing says "not yet released" but I signed up to be e-mailed when it is. Rhoda is another of my favorite shows so this is good news indeed.
