| What Wendy Watched: SONG CHOICE PEOPLE | August 25, 2009 | Is it too early to hang my head in my hands and sob uncontrollably while watching Australian Idol? SONG CHOICE PEOPLE. You know there have been some decent songs written in the history of pop, rock, blues, folk, country etc etc. I would not include on that list All Fired Up (Pat Benatar), It Must […] |
| What Wendy Watched: Dicko kindly described you as bonkers | August 24, 2009 | Australian Idol Semi Final One was full of feel-good comments from the judges, lots of screaming and home-made support signs. Dicko had a hair cut, Marcia was wearing an odd kind of white collar shirt contraption and new judge JD/ DJ was trying to establish a personality of his own. It’s going to be difficult […] |

| What Wendy Watched: wuthering, wuthering, etc etc | August 23, 2009 | I have now watched two episodes of the 1978 BBC serial adaptation of Wuthering Heights. I have some concerns, mainly revolving around the fact that I don’t think this is a novel that would adapt well to any visual medium. Despite that fact it seems people can’t leave it alone. Why couldn’t they do better […] |

| What Wendy Watched: amazing undie running | August 20, 2009 | Everything is in place for my viewing of The Amazing Race. I have chamomile tea (in case the amazingness gets too exciting and I need calming), I have eaten a yummy piece of a chocolate brownie (only the second piece today – very restrained), I’m sitting on the new comfy lounge and I am watching […] |

| What Wendy Watched: Pedantic nerdery | August 19, 2009 | I am just loving The Big Bang Theory at the moment. It’s been so long since I’ve enjoyed a traditionally styled sitcom and this one appeals particularly because it draws its comedy from the world of research and academia. The character of Sheldon is a delight in his pedantic nerdery. And Leonard (who was once […] |

| What Wendy Watched: We didn’t do amazing things | August 16, 2009 | This belated Amazing Race update is brought to you by the fact that on Thursday evening I had to watch Quiz Show so I could get it back to the library by Friday, thereby avoiding a fine on someone else’s library card. It’s our next bookclub choice selected by yours truly.I like it because it’s […] |
