As usual whenever Lucy is on something more than plain ol' vanilla TV, I weep and gnash my teeth and curse all my cheap friends who COULD have basic cable and yet don't. (Cable lines ain't strung to our hill yet so I can be self-rightous about this.) I HATE having to wait to see a Lucy performance. Battlestar just about killed me. . . BUT! Imagine this--our secretary (the one whom I had tape Bittersuite for me because I HAD to go a wedding that night and who, when I came by to pick up the tape, just stood in her doorway staring at me in disbelief and repeating, "THIS is the show you love so much?! THIS ONE?" And when I tried to explain that it was not the usual fare, she just handed me the tape and said, " Here-take it and go!" and threw me out of her house. Well, actually, I never even made it through the doorway.) Anyway, she LOVES Burn Notice! I invited myself over and we're going to watch it together tonight. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Happy happy dancing dancing in "I-DON'T-miss-Lucy-tonight" joy! KT ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.
