We made the front of the New York Times TV section...

Even though our names didn't get mentioned... who cares? It's still our baby.

(Probably this article requires a subscription to read. But here are our favorite lines:)

Ms. Loken, who plays Brunhild, thinks that tough female roles find her, and not the other way around. After touching down naked on Rodeo Drive as T-X, the killer cyborg, in "Terminator 3," a barrage of scripts found their way to her, but couldn't hold her interest.

"And then this script came along," she said from her home in Los Angeles, "and I couldn't put it down. I read it in one sitting with only one break -- to use the toilet."

Now, you see, I think that's wrong. Why didn't she take it into the loo with her?

(innocent look) There are bathrooms where the reading light's not great...

[clanwilliam.livejournal.com]

Surely that's why head torches were invented?

I would have. I once read an article on "why blokes like to read in the loo" and wondered what the problem was, I never considered it a "bloke" thing *g* - the quote that cracked me up was something like "You will just have to learn to accept that he may occasionally take the newspaper or the latest paperback in with him. If, however, he's taking the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy you may wish to suggest he sees a doctor."

A bloke thing...? (laughter) Not around here. In fact, increasingly it seems to be the only place that I get any serious reading done... (Right now working on _Flashman and the Tiger_.)

I know it's the only time I ever get to read with! Well, that and waiting for baths to fill. The only problem with that one is the water going tepid while I finish 'just one more page'. ;)

Me, too. With two kids it's hard to just sit in a chair and read a book. The 'library' however has a door. A door that is not supposed to be opened unless there is fire or bloodshed (or a toddler cutting things with scissors).

Our house's main bathroom has a bidet. Or at least I think it's still under there. We took some pieces from an old broken-up set of bookshelves and turned it into a side table/book & magazine holder....

I don't watch a lot of TV, but saw a preview for this while I was at work and thought, "Dang, that looks like it would be good."

Glad you posted this; now I have a more concrete reason to watch it.

Speaking of which... did you actually (as it appears) write your own bio on the IMDB??

[dduane.livejournal.com]

Sure. They allow you to claim your identity, and after that you can update it, etc, when you need to. I try to keep mine fairly dry: there's enough puffery out there already. :)

[zellion.livejournal.com]

Well at least we know it's accurate. Come on though, a little fluff is ok. I mean, you worked on Dinosaucers - I've never met anyone else irl who even remembers that show, despite the fact that I can't be the only one who watched it.
