Okay, Kari and bob, here's my Media Week. I have to admit, it's doesn't vary much from week to week.
BOOKS
Kevin loaned me 'Tis Herself, a Memoir, the autobiography by Maureen O'Hara. I just started it but so far, it's delightful, just as she is.
I've been carrying a A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry around in my bag, but I haven't cracked the spine yet.
I've been revisiting Craig Zadan's Sondheim & Co., but this is pretty much a constant reference guide.
TV
I've been watching Clean House on the Style network to get inspired about cleaning my apartment. Seeing the amount of junk some people have has sort of shamed me into not being a horder.
The Golden Girls has been back on Lifetime. I just can't resist.
Of course, I have to support my Murder, She Wrote on the Hallmark Channel. It really is true that I loved this show way back when, before I even knew Angela Lansbury was a Broadway Star.
The rest of the time I'm just watching shows I've DVR'd: Seth's Chatterbox, Broadway Beat, NY1's On Stage, The American Theatre Wing's Working in the Theatre, Women in Theatre, Conversations with William Hoffman, and Theatre Talk

Brava! All divas all the time. And that cleaning show obviously had an effect -- next you can come clean my place.
Wow, I can't believe you have so many theater options on tv! My local PBS station just started airing Theater Talk, so I'm pretty excited about that.
