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

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 […]
