My So-Called TV Appearance

Ooh, it’s a heady week here in the Takoma Garden.  Remember when I wrote about being interviewed for a TV show about blogging?  I’d calculated that my share of the 8-minute segment might be a mere 2 minutes of air time (compared to the 2 and a half hours it took to do the interview).  So the show aired yesterday and my bit was more like 20 seconds.  Oh, well, I shouldn’t be surprised, given how charming the other interviewees were.  So I’m cool with that and the good news is that the segment was a nice long one - 30 minutes - and might just motivate a few viewers to trying blogging themselves. 

And now to pick a nit I know you’ll all identify with:  If I’m not mistaken, and I hope I am, neither of my blog URLs were displayed on the screen, as the other interviewees’ URLs were.  Grrr.  But hey, I’m over it and happy to report that I didn’t hate-hate-hate seeing myself on the screen.  I even got a nice email from a viewer saying she thought I’d "done well."  Blessed be the reassurers.

Wanna link to the story?  Yeah, we all do and I’ll post it here if and when it’s ever available.  And you know I’ll be looking for that URL, too.

ELSEWHERE IN THE BLOGOSPHERE
In another medium I’m much more comfortable with, my second movie review appears today on Time Goes By and thanks again to Ronni Bennett for the assignment.  It’s titled "Growing Old with Rocky Balboa."  Yeah, that’s Sylvester Stallone, all right, still "fighting" at 60.
