JUST ANOTHER GAL FROM CASPER: WHAT I’M WATCHING RIGHT NOW EDITION…  I remember watching Star Trek (The Original Series) in syndication when I was a little kid.

JUST ANOTHER GAL FROM CASPER: WHAT I’M WATCHING RIGHT NOW EDITION…  When I first wrote about watching the TV series Joe Pickett, I’d never read any of CJ Box’s books.

JUST ANOTHER GAL FROM CASPER: WHAT I’M WATCHING RIGHT NOW EDITION… Have you ever watched a show that you both loved and hated? A show so entertaining that you’re dying to know what’ll happen next, but the entire time you’re watching, you’re feeling disturbed and/or yelling at the screen?

JUST ANOTHER GAL FROM CASPER: WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT RIGHT NOW EDITION… I’ve written about how much I love the movie Glory.

JUST ANOTHER GAL FROM CASPER – WHAT I’M LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW EDITION…  This last winter kicked my ass. I mean, I know we live in Wyoming, but three (thousand) feet of snow? Thirty (million) below temps? 65 (gillion) mph winds? By April, I was hanging on by my (still-frozen) fingertips! I love that now, […]

JUST ANOTHER GAL FROM CASPER – WHAT I’M WATCHING RIGHT NOW EDITION…  Yep, I’ve written about Veronica Mars before, but I watch it all the way through about once a year.

JUST ANOTHER GAL FROM CASPER: WHAT I’M LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW EDITION… Patty Griffin is one of the best songwriters I’ve ever heard. I first caught her thanks to — of course — Wyoming Public Radio.

JUST ANOTHER GAL FROM CASPER: WHAT I’M WATCHING RIGHT NOW EDITION… Jack Black: Love him or hate him (I love him), he brought to life one of the best characters of rock and roll cinema in School of Rock. School of Rock‘s Dewey Finn (Black) is what that guitar-playin’ guy who never moved out of […]

Imagine a train pulling out of the station, picking up speed as it goes until finally, it’s slamming over the tracks like some whack carnival ride.
