What the world needs now

There is not enough Kath and Kim in the world. Just saying.

For that matter, we could do with a bit more Campus Ladies, as well.

We're on a brain wave. I was just complaining about the fact that they don't air Kath & Kim here on the old blog today! I've seen the first three episodes of their currently airing series by downloading. They could at least run it on BBC Canada couldn't they? Can you talk to them for me?

Weird. I hadn't read it at the time. Obviously great minds are yet again thinking alike.

I'll get on the phone immediately. BBC 2 is well into the season.

I hadn't seen yours either.

I appreciate your power in trying to rectify this troubling situation with the Beeb. And now I'm curious about Campus Ladies. If you like it, I just might too.

I LOVE Kath & Kim. "Chardonnay, Chardonnay you chunts!"

I could not stop laughing. I remember it clearly as it was the day of the royal wedding when I called and as soon as you picked up the phone I said "what on earth is she wearing on her head?"

My latest Beeb import is Masterchef Goes Large. Kath & Kim aren't in it but there's lots of tension as all the amateurs try to become master chefs! I wonder why they call the show that?

Ways other than Paul Blart and lipstick to combat economic depression

They say that, when the economy tanks and you can't see any way through your pile of bills and are wondering who you'll look wearing one of those barrels with shoulder straps, women buy lipstick and everyone goes to upbeat, escapist movies to take their minds off their troubles. But I'm here to tell you that any lipstick worth having is nigh 'bout $20 or more and you'll just end up regretting it, and Hollywood has not caught up with the times yet. Plus, it's Oscar season, so once you've seen Slumdog Millionaire your choices are sexy Nazis seducing children, attractive suburbanites mourning the death of their dreams, and nuns and priests talking about child abuse. (That said, I hear Gran Torino is a good diversion with a message, and if you don't hate Brad Pitt as much as I do you could probably sit through that Owen Meany movie where he ages like he's from Ork .) And while I'm as big a Kevin James fan as the next person, you can't ask him...

Executive MBA 2006-07 Director's Prize

This prize is awarded to the Executive MBA student who is judged by his or her peers to have contributed most to the overall success of the programme. Awarded to: Me I'm really happy about this - I've been the stream rep between the administration and my fellow students, which is the primary reason I've won this...I've managed a lot of situations and helped sort out problems, and while it's been a bit of work it's also been quite fun. I've got all sorts of thoughts and feelings, and in about an hour I'm calling my mom to hear about Thanksgiving with my brother and to tell her the news, but the over-riding reflection I have is this. My dad would be very, very proud. This would have made his day.

Planning Funerals

We've been picking out hymns and suits to wear at the visitation and crematory urns for the ashes and cemetery plots with a good view. My dad passed away at 1 PM on Father's Day. He'd been in excruciating pain, which progressed as the week went on. By Thursday night we had to up the morphine dose so that he slept all the time, but at least he wasn't writhing in pain. Metastasized bone cancer is an ugly, ugly thing. On Friday, I spent the day with him. I sat in the comfy chair in his room and read him my Managing Strategic Innovation prep work and case study. I guess I'm assuming it was the morphine that kept him sleeping, but we'll never really know. On Saturday, my mom and I played scrabble by his bed most of the day. There were some rousing plays, especially since she refused to let me play 'squab' and 'nori' because these were not familiar words to her and we didn't have an official scrabble dictionary handy. I called her a dirty cheater,...
