I'm such a good Netflix customer. In fact, I'm so good they just sent me a notice that my monthly price is going down. I've never heard of such a thing. But I know they're making money off of me. I've had MI-5 for several weeks and The Razor's Edge for at least one. The former I'm very slowly working my way through; I want to see all the episodes with Keeley Hawes in it. The latter is the old film version of the Somerset Maugham novel, not the one with Bill Murray. I believe this one was made during the Second World War. I hope they get the costumes right. And I hope I can send these back on Monday.
The Mrs.
- The Village Carpenter
Mrs. Fruit's woodworking blog, filled with pretty pictures and words I've never heard of. I really don't know what she's talking about. There are also a few cute pics of our companion animals, because we're gay and it's a requirement.
My other blog
- My other, more boring blog
Expressing the history geek side of myself. And no swear words, which makes Kari very happy.

Podcasts I listen to
- Answer Me This Podcast
Funny stuff from three smarty-pants young Brits. - Cast-on with Brenda Dayne

Short summaries of good classic mysteries. - Craft Mentality
Amber and Tasha talk about kntting, sewing, cooking, reading and Project Runway. - Craftlit

A podcast about life in the Presbyterian Church (USA), by four pastors under 40. - Fresh Air With Terry Gross
- Girls on Girls
Two really funny and cute lesbian comics. I listen while I walk the dogs, grinning and guffawing down the street. - Great Speeches in History
These are great. If possible (e.g. JFK), they come with the original speaker. If not (e.g. Jesus), they have really good readers reading the speeches/lectures/sermons. - Jonathan Ross
Not as sexy as old Russ, but funny and good interviewer. Except he asked Keeley Hawes about her poo; I didn't appreciate that. - Matt's Today in History
Matt Dattilo reading about stuff that happened today in history. Obviously. - New Yorker

Alas, old Russ resigned from the BBC so his podcasts are no longer available, but here's a link to his youtube website. He's smart, articulate and damn sexy. And he knows that "drugs is bad." - Savage Love Podcast
Profane, disgusting, entertaining and very educational podcast based on Dan Savage's sex column. I've learned about some things I rather wish I hadn't, but can't stop listening. Mrs. Fruit refuses to partake----too many F-bombs. - Stephen Fry's Podgrams
Writer, actor, comedian, filmmaker, Mac enthusiast and really interesting podcaster. The worst thing about this podcast is that he doesn't do it enough. - The Archers
My current, hopeless addiction. A daily podcast of the world's longest running daily soap. - The Football Phone-in 606
Folks call in after soccer games to rant, give props, etc. - The Lesbian Mafia
