I call the stuff with big hunks of fruit in it that you put on toast, jam. I think Americans do too (?) And you can put jelly on toast too, but it's more, um, gelatinous and doesn't have the hunks of fruit in it. Often jelly comes in different, and sometimes weirder, flavours than jam - for example, spearmint jelly that some people will eat with lamb or whatever. Sometimes the cheap, over-processed jam looks, feels and tastes more like jelly, which is generally translucent. > And for the record, in NZ we agree with the UK where > jelly > is something you eat with ice-cream, not smear on > toast! > I don't even understand that, but I'm not a big fan of jam or jelly. And Jello is something they make you eat when you're in the hospital and on a liquid diet, or something they offer as "free" dessert in greasy spoon restaurants. I sure as heck wouldn't order it.

It sounds a little like an episode of the Australian show "Kath and Kim" (one of my personal favourites). Kim is demanding a drink, and asking for a "Cardonnay". When corrected, she says "No, it's CARdonnay - the haytch is silent." (note she says haytch, not aitch). When corrected again, her reply is "Fine, Chardonnay, you pack of chunts...."

Well, guess who's this month's cover star? That's right. A fairly meaty interview, focusing initially on the ballet, but also covering the forthcoming album and (sigh) Joni's tired old beefs about the music business and the critics. I've always devoured Joni features, and I have to say this one left a distinctly sour taste. It was composed almost entirely of a mixture of grievance and self-aggrandisment, and I really found it hard going for that reason. I won't say much more for now, though I'd be fascinated to know what anyone else makes of it. Martin? Chris? Stephen? Jacky? Jamie? On a more positive note, there is a detailed account of what went wrong with her voice, and how some of the problems have been remedied. Smoking, the Usual Suspect, was apparently not the main cause of the deterioration, although she concedes that it may have buggered up her sinuses, which won't have helped. Anyway, she admits what some of us thought about the last two records, that her singing really *was* underpowered, and insists that it's recovered well. Makes me all the more intrigued to hear the new record...

KW Nope. Capra Dance is a pagan Winter celebration related to blessings, plenty, etc of the coming year. The Goat Dance is, like I mentioned before, part of the Carnival (Mardi Gras) celebration which is before lent and Easter and is a Spring celebration. Victor For all we know, maybe she was in Romania and just said Greece for the sake of the song. KW When California was written, Romania was still a communist country under the harsh rule of Ceau:escu. Even on a Canadian passport I don't think she could enter Romania ...more to the point, it was a very oppressed country back then, why she would even want to? Until the overthrow in '89 they didn't they let westerners in as far as I know. Joni said she was on a Grecian Isle and mentions the Goat Dance. There is a Grecian Island, Skyros, that is famous for the Goat Dance. Pretty clear to me.

Now I myself don't watch too much television but I do have a few select shows. Here's what I watch, what do you watch? - -Desperate Housewives: This is my light, fluffy programming. Good for a laugh, great for a Sunday night. Gabrielle is my absolute favorite. She makes me laugh anytime she's on screen. - -How I Met Your Mother: A really funny and clever show. I like the premise of it--a bunch of friends hanging out, growing together, with good times (and a few bad). - -Lost: A very mysterious show. I enjoy it most of the time. Sometimes certain flashbacks get a bit boring but all is not lost, haha. Sawyer is my favorite! That's all I regularly watch. However, as far as old syndicated shows go, I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Roseanne, Sex & The City, Ally McBeal, The Wonder Years (which I'm looking up to buy on Ebay right now!), Married With Children, Freaks & Geeks, and that's as far as I can recall now. - -Monika

I love the writing and the acting and pretty much everything about this show. - -Prison Break I've been following this show since early last season and love it as well. Very good acting, especially Wentworth Miller (Michael) and Robert Knepper (T-Bag) although most people love Michael and hate T-Bag...still he's a brilliant actor. Anyways, a great story as well with only three episodes left this season.
