This collection of entries is from February 21, 2003.
CBS has given the go-ahead for a 4th season of Big Brother, and has a contingency on a 5th.
It looks like Ground Force America is indeed in production, as last week a garden in Dallas Georgia (I didn't know there was another Dallas) was transformed. They're going to shoot 8 shows and have received 50,000 requests. Looks like a late June air date.
It was a little over a year ago that I had heard about this terrible cold snap in Mexico that killed 75%-80% of the Monarch butterflies in North America (an estimate is near 500 million butterflies) . Now, there is an estimate of 200 million to 500 million Monarchs hanging around in clusters in a 20-acre area of forest back in Mexico. Cool.
Time for another Friday Five...
1. What is your most prized material possession? Wow. I don't really know. I think it was this denim shirt that my aunt embroidered the entire back with a special a drawing by Bill Jackson depicting all of the characters from the kids show I did - Gigglesnort Hotel.
2. What item, that you currently own, have you had the longest? Gee, I don't really know or recall. I mean, I have stuff from grammar school, like papers and stuff like that, and of course photos, but other than that I can't remember any specific item.
3. Are you a packrat? ABSOLUTELY. Carol hates me for it, but absolutely.
4. Do you prefer a spic-and-span clean house? Or is some clutter necessary to avoid the appearance of a museum? I would actually prefer a "spic-and-span" house, but who the hell has time to keep things that clean??? As long as your house doesn't start looking like a senile old-lady's with one hundred cats and piles of newspaper 4 feet tall with only a path to go from room to room. Also, it has to be nicer than that if you entertain frequently.
5. Do the rooms in your house have a theme? Or is it a mixture of knick-knacks here and there? No theme at all. No sense of style much, either. We just don't have the money to get new furniture - the living room stuff is over 20 years old.
