Morning Coffee (11/9/15)
Me elsewhere: TV news!
Today's Hedy Lamarr Google doodle is very fancy and well done and nicely incorporates the various aspects of her career, so make sure you check that out.
Best headline ever? Ben Carson Defends Himself Against Allegations That He Never Attempted to Murder a Child
Also: Carson claimed West Point 'scholarship' but never applied
Wondering how a night club fire brought down a prime minister? The Romania situation, explained.
I only knew Mark Everson was running in the first place because his campaign manager rented an office next to my friend's law firm. New Hampshire!
This Is Why NFL Star Greg Hardy Was Arrested For Assaulting His Ex-Girlfriend
Wow: "Once they reach 18, children may disavow the practice of same-sex cohabitation or marriage and stop living within the household and request to join the church."
"THE RED BULLETIN: What could we learn from James Bond that would help us in our day-to-day lives?
DANIEL CRAIG: [Thinks for a short while.] Nothing."
The history of seed vaults is really interesting!

Morning Coffee (9/9/15)
Me elsewhere: I'm not sure how to feel about the Shannara trailer.
Today Queen Elizabeth II becomes England's longest reigning monarch, passing Queen Victoria. Let's look at some rarely seen pictures of the young Elizabeth. (You know you pay too much attention to these things when almost all the "rarely seen pictures" look familiar.)
Fascinating and important: Jihad and Girl Power: How ISIS Lured 3 London Girls
NOPE: "Trump said that his experience at the New York Military Academy, an expensive prep school where his parents had sent him to correct poor behavior, gave him 'more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military.'"
Speaking of: Nixon sent Trump a letter in 1987 saying Pat Nixon thought he should run for office. SO. (Yes, Dad, this one was for you.)
Sam Smith is doing the new Bond song. I am . . . underwhelmed by the choice, but had to bring you an article that features someone called Barbara Broccoli who is apparently a real person and not a Sesame Street character.
I really feel like Julie Plec understands me on a deep level.
I'm excited about PBS's new Civil War drama Mercy Street, but it's going to take some time to see Josh Radnor as an old timey surgeon without just giggling. (In the video linked there he says his character is arrogant. That must have been SUCH A STRETCH for him.) (I mean, because of his HIMYM character. I have no reason to think Radnor himself is anything but delightful.)

Morning Coffee (10/3/14)
Happy Friday!
More of my new show reviews: Happyland (cute!), A to Z (very good with one big caveat), Stalker (NO NO NO DO NOT WATCH).
I have never seen Murder, She Wrote, but this makes me want to watch it all.
Likewise, I don't have a waffle iron, but these latke waffles make me want to get one.
This is quite the combination of things I like: The creator of Foyle's War is writing a new authorized James Bond novel about Formula One.
They found a lost Sherlock Holmes film!
Would an excerpt from a Christmas historical romance by a writer I like improve your Friday? Of course it would.
Have they discovered "Dracula's Dungeon"?
This was a great read: Who Killed Bugsy Siegel?
The Reclusive, Doll-Collecting Copper Queen of Fifth Avenue
Secret societies are fascinating, even ones that sound terrible.
what if a duck was sad
i don’t know
what if a pine tree were lonely

Hi there! I hope everyone who celebrated had a great holiday. I just got back home late last night, so I'm still discombobulated. And most of these links were things I found before Christmas and never posted, so apologies if any now seem old. More normal tomorrow, I hope.

Sad news: Mystery author Margaret Frazer has passed away.
Yes, another story on this, but it's important: Racism Doesn’t Exist in Tech Because White Tech Blog Millionaire Jason Calacanis Has Never Seen It
Laura Ingalls Wilder left a family of serial killers out of her books.
ABC might want to rethink the description "murder mystery reality show."
Nifty: The Queen's working day
New Jem and the Holograms dolls!
Whoa, this James Bond travel map is awesome.

Morning Coffee (9/28/12)
Recently at TheTelevixen: I have a feature with Bree Williamson about her new role on Haven (starting tonight!). And I did not like The Neighbors.
This article about a high school female quarterback is pretty heartwarming if you can avoid thinking about how football may be permanently damaging these kids.
They're making a movie of Girls Like Us (about Joni Mitchell/Carly Simon/Carole King)! With Taylor Swift! I... I'm cautiously optimistic.
This liveblog of the Vogue September issue made me actually want to buy it, so there's that. But hmm, is it off newsstands by now? Not sure.
Rebecca update: Things look promising.
June Thomas points out that decent procedurals are actually pretty brilliant.
Is this the real James Bond?

Busy busy busy busy busy.
New Year's Eve won't be the same without Dick Clark. Read about some of the important work he did integrating TV.
Revenge fans: The Treadwell Report is real.
Apparently the strategy here is "Let's show how important it is to preserve art by destroying it willy-nilly!" Um, what?
Amazon has acquired the rights to the James Bond novels. Interesting.
An interesting take: Drama's Star Fades
Why I hate the myth of the suffering artist
