You'll Never Nanny in this Town Again
I read this book on the way to Amsterdam.
Its about a girl who was a nanny to the rich & famous.
It tales from her experience working with Producer Michael Ortiz, Debra Winger & Rhea Perlman/Danny DeVito
Its a quick & easy read - gives some insite into the lives of the rich.
I recommend.
Anyone else read anything good lately?

Greetings from Amsterdam
Hello - I hope this comes out in English - I have 5 mins left on the internet
Let me just say Amsterdam is wicked. Its buildings, canals & scenry are awesome.
Everyone rides bikes here & I have almost been run over a few times.
We have gone to the Van Gogh Museum, Red Light Direct & saw many cool other things.
(4mins) Right now it is 2:18pm here & I have no idea what time it is at home. Both phil & I are having a hard time adjusting - we can sleep at night & sleep in late. We are in Leiden whish is west of Amsterdam today for Phil's conference. I have seen windmills, rented a bike & have taken lots of pictures.
Oh shit - I have 2 mins & haven;t gotten to any of the good parts - we'll we head back to Amsterdam

How cute are they?
The pocket pigs are a variant of the rare kune kune breed, which is native to New ZealandChris Murray, co-owner of the farm near Buckfastleigh, began cross-breeding the pigs nine years ago and believes he has the perfect pet pig.
Mr Murray said: "They are easy to house train and have a good temperament
These pigs are just at home indoors or outdoors."
Phil - can we get one of these? The type of hair doesn't shed either.

Would you buy scrubs from Izzie?
Does this mean she is a medical industry spokesperson now? Hmm... Apparently someone decided she is a great fit to endorse medical uniform, the one of a fashionable kind (I had no idea this kind exist)! Eonline reports that "Scrubs & Beyond proudly announces the exclusive 30-day launch of the Katherine Heigl™ Collection of medical scrubs by Peaches™ Uniforms

Article on Greys: Argee or Disagree
Found this article on Grey's on MSN - Titled: How 'Grey's Anatomy' evolved from the show we loved, to the show we were rooting for, to the cringe-worthy mess is it today
Grey's is in need of a serious face lift— and fast. I want to hold out hope that writers will craft fresh storylines like in the sophomore season, or that Seattle Grace will rebound without Addison and Burke, the two strongest characters. But in all honesty I'm starting to feel like a mother who just doesn't know when to let go of her kid's hand on the first day of school.
I held on tight through the roller coaster that was Meredith's fake-death plot. I defended the Gizzie effect to the best of my ability, even though it was more creepy than cute.
Finally, I continue to watch Private Practice, just so that I can get my Addison-fix. But even that's lost its appeal now that Kate Walsh is playing another one of Shonda Rhimes' whiny characters.
Why it is that every strong, free-willing character that puts on a stethoscope is morphed into an emotionally unstable snot rag?
In the name of character development, we need to see evolution, that's more than fair. But what used to make this show work was the different levels of characters intertwining together. If Izzie was depressed, George was in love. When MerDer was dark and twisty, Cristina and Burke were working it out. When Alex was playing the jerk, Addison would be ready to grab a drink.
At least, that's the way it was until about midway through Season 3, and 4 is shaping up to be more of the same. If this show is going to keep its fan base, it needs to do some, if not ALL of the following:
The Chief: Needs to either fix his marriage or get off the pot. There's no need to continuously reiterate Adele's feelings towards his allocation of personal time.
MerDer: Either put them together or end it. For good. Meredith made the passionate "choose me, love me" speech, and now she's reneging. Now we're going to meet another love interest for Derek. Anyone else reminded of the triangle from the end of the first season?
Cristina: If she can't have Burke, give her someone or something else. A cold scalpel and a hard exterior are why we love her, but as we've seen with McSteamy and Bailey, those characters don't get much screen time.
George/Izzie/Callie: Someone gets fired, and I'm betting it's the new chief resident. You know, rather than letting her work herself into the position and take out some revenge when she finds out about her husband's affair. How about Denny has some sort of long-lost brother for Izzie to fall in love with instead? It's more plausible than what's going on right now.
Alex: I guess they completely dropped the Izzie/Alex storyline, because Alex visited "Jane Doe" during his break. She's coming back for more episodes, which means Dr. Karev will probably deal with more indecision and soppy heartbreak. Glad he finally wants the girl, sad it's a character we don't really care about. Ok, that's a lie — I do care about her, but only if she signs on as a full-time character.
Bailey/Sloan/Lexie: more, please!
Here's crossed fingers that tonight picks up from the first three lacklustre episodes. However, I'm not holding my breath.

What do you think? Rough article - but kinda on the ball at the same time

Best hair of the week -
My vote for Best Hair this TV season so far, goes to Blake LivelyThe Gossip Girl star has great hair - its thick, shiny & should be in a shampoo commerical.
I'm jealous.
Idiot of the Week -
Britney Spears not only lost her kids this week to KFed,
but she didn't even show up for her hearing yesterday, while KFed did. KFed 2 points, Spears 0.
Judge has made Spears visits with her children supervised visits -
What an idiot - She'd better get off the crack fast -
