This Week in Jeff's World

The first thing I'd like to say is I'm tired of the Gosselin's. Kate and Jon. First thing, the name John should have an "h" in it. There, I've said it! Further more, these two should NOT EVER been in the news. Every news website I go to has a story on this couple. They are not, nor will they ever be news. They got a television show just because they had a crap load of kids. The success went to their heads, he allegedly cheated on her, she said she didn't and then divorced him, and not she wants to get into acting. Hey Katie, why don’t you spend years learning you craft like most great actors instead of using your tabloid fame to cheat your way to a job!

Got that rant out of the way!


Over at the wonderful Broken Hearted Toy, Terry reviews The Urges new CD, Psyche Ward, as well as some information on the The Hollies were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame. Check out Terry's site for a very good read.

A podcast I'd like to recommend is Wiretap from CBC radio. Written and hosted by Jonathan Goldstein, it is very funny. Jonathan has a dry, witty sense of humor. Originally broadcast on Radio One: Saturdays at 1:30 p.m and Thursdays at 11:30 p.m and on Sirius Satellite 137: Fridays at 4:30 p.m., Saturdays at 3:30 a.m. & 8:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 a.m., it is also available as a podcast on iTunes and the CBC website.

Turner Classic Movies continues its Akira Kurosawa Every Tuesday, marathon to celebrate his 100 birthday. Kurosawa was a Japanese writer/director whose films are some of the most influential masterpieces ever created.TCM is showing a bunch on his films, in Japanese with English subtitles.

Last weekend my wife, Dawn and I enjoyed the music of Goin' South with a bunch of good friends including my cousin, Willy and his wife Lisa, Buddy and Threshold founder, Brian and his girlfriend, Tammy, my brother Brian and his wife Beth, A friend I have not seen for 25 years, Rick, and finally, Cassie, my childhood friend that I had not seen in too many years. If there was only one downside to the night is the fact, with so many wonderful people around, a beer was never not in my hand. In fact, usually before one beer was empty, I had another. What is wrong with that you ask? Let's just say, Jeff might not known when to say when.

New Show this weekend!
