Thoughts on Judy Garland

I watched Easter Parade on TCM last night and am currently watching In The Good Old Summertime. I don't think in all of these years I've actually watched anything with Judy Garland in it except the Wizard of Oz. Is it me or was she not really that good of an actress? She seems so stiff and wooden. I know she had some severe psychological problems and took drugs. I don't know if that affected her acting. It's sad because she had such a wonderful singing voice. There was a scene last night where you could really see the sadness in her eyes and that wasn't acting.

It came to Marcus' and my attention that we will be losing our east coast/west coast network station packages on December 1. Even though, Dish Netowrk had something worked out, some stupid judge butted in and declared that they had to stop offering them. I've emailed my senators and congressman, but I seriously doubt they'll do anything to save them. How stupid! There is no way I'm going to be able to record all the shows I normally watch now. Who does it really hurt if I watch the NBC from New York or CBS from L.A. Don't give me that local advertising crap because I fast forward through commercials on every station. Besides, I watch plenty of TV with my attenae back in the bedroom where I can't FF. The only other solution is to eventually get another PVR, but we don't have money for that now.
