Switched to Buzzr for Press Your Luck. Whammies abounded in this episode, but it came down to the champ and the one lady. They kept exchanging spins for a while, until he finally hit a vacation to Tahiti that put him over the top. Split Second was a less-exciting game. The one man was ahead the entire time, including in the Countdown bonus round. He opted to return instead of taking a trip to the Bahamas.
Did job searching while the shows were on. I did apply to a consulting firm in Cherry Hill, but still didn't see much else. Wish most editing jobs didn't require so much experience, and that some of them were actually in New Jersey.
Headed out to run errands on the White Horse Pike around quarter of 2. I did finally find Spinbrush head replacements at CVS. They always did have a good toothbrush and toothpaste selection. I grabbed that, paid for it, and headed out.
Since the White Horse Pub is two doors down from CVS, I decided to try that for lunch. It's pretty much your typical sports bar and grill, with cracked vinyl seats, wooden floors that match the tables, and permanent barflies teasing the waitress and bartender about her hair. I had today's lunch special, the chicken salad wrap with onion rings, while watching yesterday's hockey game between the Nashville Predators and the Ottawa Senators. Yum! The chicken salad really wasn't anything special, but the onion rings were amazing, crispy and flavored just right, and the waitress was a sweetheart. I left her a big tip...and frankly, I thought her long, curly hair looked just fine.
(Incidentally, the Senators won 4-3.)
Managed to get across the Pike during rush hour to hit Dollar General. Mainly wanted Kind bars here. I also picked up little trinkets, like bead crafts and bubble wands, to put in Valentine's bags for Khai, Finley, and the daughter of a friend.
I hadn't treated myself to cookies at Los Amigos Bakery in a while. In fact, I hadn't been there since I won that yule log cake on Christmas Eve. They're still mostly awash in Christmas decorations and baked goods. I don't think Valentine's Day is a big deal in Mexico. I ended up buying a container of simple vanilla and chocolate butter cookies to try.
At least the weather is cooperating, and looks like it'll continue to for the rest of this week and into the weekend. It's cloudy, gloomy, damp, and in the lower 40's...exactly what it's supposed to do in late January-early February. As long as it doesn't pour or blizzard again, I think we'll be fine.
After I got home, I spent the rest of the afternoon and early evening dusting and vacuuming my rooms and doing the laundry. Watched Swiss Miss while I worked. I go further into this Laurel and Hardy feature about them getting caught between a composer and his opera star wife in the Swiss Alps at my Musical Dreams Movie Reviews blog.
Worked on the review after the movie ended, then watched Match Game '79 during dinner. Gene and the panelists are baffled by the contestant's answer to "I'll See You In __" in the Audience Match. She says "September," which apparently no one in the panel had heard of. A lady in the audience performed the 60's number for them, and did very well, too.
Finished out the night with the third season of WKRP In Cincinnati. "The Airplane Show" has Les taking to the skies in a bi-plane in order to compete with rival WPIG's traffic helicopter. He's ready to give up on the idea, until the former veteran flyer convinces him to fly downtown and have their own parade for Veteran's Day instead. (Incidentally, the stunts were performed by actual veteran Ohio aviator Harold Johnson.)
"Jennifer Moves" into a sprawling Victorian home in a suburban neighborhood. She's thrilled at first, especially after the others help her. Her enthusiasm is dampened by a cheating husband and his obviously jealous wife, a corrupt phone salesman who is not what he seems, and Herb somehow managing to lose her piano.
Herb has his own problems with the reality show "Real Families." The hosts (Peter Marshall and Daphne Maxwell Reid) are supposed to follow him and his family around and see how clean-cut and perfect they are. Herb's family is far from perfect, and the hosts' attempts to dig up dirt at WKRP and at Herb's home only makes things worse. Herb finally reminds them just because everyone has some skeletons in the closet doesn't mean they want to share them.
The entire station is excited when "The Baby" arrives and Arthur's wife Carmen goes into labor. While Andy flirts with nurses and Johnny Fever babbles to nice older ladies, Arthur debates whether or not to be in the room with his wife. Whether he does or doesn't, he's reminded in the end that he and his wife are happy that they had this perfect bundle...and why he loves both of them very much.
