Under the Knife

haikugirl's been busy recovering from surgery so that's why you've seen no new posts for a while. Thanks to everyone for their support and concern - I am definitely on the mend but these things always take more time than you think. It's amazing how much we use our stomach muscles every day.

surgery went well
4 holes in my stomach and
5-inch fibroid gone

For more under the knife, I saw Nip/Tuck tonight (the Lulu Grandiron episode). Talk about night of a million stars (or should I say night of a million 80's has beens). This one included Donna Mills of Knot's Landing fame, a freaky-looking Joan Van Ark (who appears to have had too much low-budget plastic surgery in her real life) also a Knot's Landing alum, and even a handsome-looking Shari Belafonte. They were playing a group of Miami socialites who wanted Christian (the dreamy Julian McMahon) to do all their plastic surgery. It had a funny twist ending which I won't spoil. It just made me want to search IMdB to get all the names right. And I was wrong about who played Eden, Dr. McNamara's new love interest. I thought it was Kelli Garner of Lars and the Real Girl and Thumbsucker but it's AnnaLynne McCord. And Sharon Gless of Cagney & Lacey is the doc's lying agent. Could they cram more beloved has beens in one 42-minute hour? I think not.

ungraceful aging
how many 80's has beens
can Nip/Tuck cram in?

Addicted to Sopranos Season 6

Okay, I never gave this show the time of day for the first 5 seasons but now I am hooked on The Sopranos Season 6. They had a catch up weekend and showed the first 4 episodes back-to-back on Saturday and then the 5th episode on Sunday night. It is so well done. Forget the violence, it is a total psychodrama. I must see all the episodes this year.

I've seen 3 episodes of Huff season 2 and it's okay ("a-ight"). It seems to be missing some soul. But Tony Soprano has got soul and self-discovery in spades.

Or maybe I'm just watching too much TV.

I admit I'm hooked
Sopranos on TMN
Tony - what a guy
