The hills are alive with the sound of mucus.

I'm having food fail tonight. First I get this fresh shrimp spring roll from Trader Joe's and it has a 6" long dark hair in it. That ain't my hair. I'm still a little skeeved by that one. Then I'm heating up some chicken tempura, also from Trader Joe's and as I'm taking it out of the oven, it starts to slide off the pan and some of it falls onto the bottom of the oven. The bottom of my oven needs to be cleaned. Desperately. I ate it anyway. Hunger does that to me. But I did not eat that spring roll! Sure I've pulled the odd cat hair out of a plate of food (pulled a few out of my nose too - how does this happen?) but a 6" dark hair? I say no sir!

Does anyone out there in Internet Land take Singulair? My doctor just prescribed it for me and some of the possible side effects are scary! So far it just makes me feel kind of draggy the next day. I'm kind of liking the lack of crud in my throat in the morning though.

Mary Tyler Moore is going to be on Hot in Cleveland with Betty White. That's almost as awesome as the Sound of Music reunion show on Oprah. Btw, I DVR'd this but still haven't watched it. Don't tell me how it ends. Speaking of The Sound of Music, when I was a kid, I would never watch any show that seemed "wimpy" to me. Don't ask me to explain myself because I was obviously a bit misguided. And what makes this more puzzling? I loved, loved, loved "My Fair Lady". Of course that was mostly because I crushed on Rex Harrison but that's beside the point. Anyway, "The Sound of Music" used to always run on Thanksgiving (or that weekend) and we'd be at my aunt's house and I'd refuse to watch it. One Thanksgiving, they made me watch it and yes, I was hooked immediately. To the point where I could never ever miss it. I even made my mom speed home once (my aunt and cousins lived an hour away) so we could be home in time to watch it. I still refused to watch "Little House on the Prairie" though.

Take the springroll back! I know.. you probably threw it out, I would have. And have done so when the same sort of thing happened to me. But you have every right to take it back. If you still have it, and are debating, the customer service queen says to go for it. They HAVE to give you a new one. They WANT to give you a new one!

I first saw Rex Harrison in Cleopatra. I've been searching out his movies ever since. *Grins*

And to Spottedhorse: Christopher Plummer does plays at a festival not far from my home. And I agree... 80 year old hotness! Weird but sooo true!

You're right, I threw it out. I did think about taking it back but I don't have the time. So instead I went to Whole Foods, where I should have gone to begin with, and got a much better, hair-free spring roll.

Have you seen Doctor Doolittle? That was the other Rex Harrison movie I loved. I liked him in Cleopatra too but I always stop watching when he dies. Oh, another good one is The Agony and the Ecstasy along with The Ghost and Mrs Muir. It's funny that he was one of my big crushes because I always liked manly men and he's not exactly the most manly guy. But I first crushed on him when I was 5 so I don't think manly came into it then.

Sexy Rexy might not have been the most manly man, but he was soooo smooth. Smooth like John Steed! There are some men who are just elegant, like Steed, Rexy, and Christopher Plummer and are still men.

I think it was the English accent that got me. That's what I first loved about Steed. Patrick Macnee's voice was lovely. I know Rex Harrison hated the sing-speak but I loved it.

Btw, you should friend unwrittenkitten. She's awesome!
