"Wendy Richard's agent Kevin Francis reported she had died on the morning of 26 February 2009, at the age of 65, in 'The Harley Street Clinic' in Harley Street in the borough of Westminster, London, after being diagnosed with cancer since October 2008. Her husband John Burns was at her bedside at the time. Mr Francis said: "She was incredibly brave and retained her sense of humour right to the end. On the day of her death, a remembrance programme dedicated to Richard was broadcast on BBC One." [via wikipedia]

2009 deadpool update [LOST spolier alert]

2009-02-13T23:16:22Z

[2009 deadpool]

"In season 5, Daniel notices her having a nosebleed. She later complains of a headache, and says that she once had a thought about her mother, but then couldn't even remember her mother's maiden name. She knows that Daniel knows what she is experiencing, but before he could say, the survivors are attacked by an unknown group of people.[8] Later on in episode 3, she and the survivors time travel to and from the Others' camp, where Charlotte suffers from a severe nose bleed and falls face down on the ground while Daniel rushes towards her.[9] As the episode "This Place is Death" comes to a close it is confirmed that Charlotte's mother was a part of the Dharma Initiative and that a scary man once told her that once she leaves the island, never to come back or else she will die. She tells Faraday that he was the scary man, and soon after dies in his arms." [via wikipedia]

2008-02-07T16:38:13Z

i'm thinking of starting a witless sports livejournal community. no I'm not trying to compete with KSK; i'm just stealing their idea. i tend to have a lot of sports related posts, so it would be nice to have them committed to a separate blog. if others are interested i'll start working on it. if you have better name idea than "witless sports", let 'em rip. technically it could be hosted on another blogging service that supports open-id but truthfully i'm lazy and livejournal would just make it easier to integrate.

No Time For TV live!

2008-01-28T11:50:00Z

Hello again!

Just a reminder that Monday night is my next installment of No Time For TV, my live plays consisting of new episodes of hit television shows. This Monday's show is CSI: Miami, and I'm really excited about it. Last weeks went great, so come out and see what at least ten people are talking about! Here's the details:

Monday, 7pm doors, 8pm show, 400 Bar. There'll be music afterward, possibly my friend Will, possibly more, but it'll be good. And here's the best part, it's free! Well, only if you're 21+, if you're under 21 it's five bucks, but for most of you that means it's free! We also have our full range of excellent tap beers back (tennets, beamish, sam adams, karlsberg, pyramid) and two new additions, Summit big bottles and Fat Tire big bottles (just like at First Ave!). So come down early, have a beer, say hello and enjoy the show.

Here's the link to last weeks show in case you didn't get to see it yet:

Calling all indie radio fans!

2007-11-07T22:31:46Z

A plug for two of my favorite independent radio stations that I think some of you will enjoy.

KAXE-FM Northern Community Radio, Grand Rapids/Brainerd/Bemidji:

Founded in the mid-70's, KAXE serves north-central Minnesota communities with its variety of music and talk programming, mostly by an all volunteer staff. The mix of blues, folk and rock music is definitely unique to any radio station in Northern Minnesota, but also to most stations across the nation. The highlight of the talk programming is the station's live call-in trivia show, Green Cheese (Saturday's 7-9 PM), which attracts callers/listeners from all over the state and nation, despite the show's non-syndicated status. The station also broadcasts NPR programs such as Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and Car Talk. One of only 12 truly independent radio stations in Minnesota. Audio streaming at www.KAXE.org.

KCRW-FM, Santa Monica College, CA:

Broadcasting some of the most innovative programming and eclectic music over the past thirty years, KCRW has gained a reputation as one of the finest independent radio stations in the nation. From news and talk to music of all genres, KCRW programming is the highest quality of any I have ever heard. My favorite music programs: Sounds Eclectic (Sundays 9-11 PM, CST, also broadcast in syndication on The Current, Saturdays 6-8 AM), Morning Becomes Eclectic (various times), Nocturna (Sat & Sun 6-8 PM CST), and Chocolate City (Sat & Sun 4-6 PM CST). The station is available in three channels: live, music, and news streaming formats, as well in podcasts, at www.KCRW.com.

Enjoy!

witlessworm.com meetup: part two: saturday

2007-10-25T19:08:17Z

One Night Stand, this Saturday,

I can hardly believe it myself, but I'm letting you know about a reading with more than one days notice. It's this Saturday, it's just two short hours (7 to 9) and it's at the Acadia, which closes (sadly) at the end of the year, so it might be your last chance to check it out. The cover is only 5$ and you'll get to see a whole bunch of performers and other readings (we each get ten minutes and the program is pretty full, so should be fun). The Acadia is a pretty small room, so it won't take much to fill it up, so I'd love to see any or all of you there. One old story and a couple of brand new ones for the event are coming from me. Hope you can make it.

Acadia Cafe
Saturday, October 27th
7 to 9 pm

Oh, and feel free to wear a costume if you so desire. There will be other people dressed up, I swear.

Cool.

us: hi lala, you're in.

you: what do i do? i've never blogged before and it seems hard to get started.

us: don't worry! worm 1 & 2 have a new side project called "pimp my blog!"^TM it's a new witlessworm.com service that designs a blog or social networking account for you with witlessworm flare. [only the way worm 1 can.] act now! don't delay! the 1st order is free but you'll be back for more. trust us.

witlessworm.com meetup: 400 bar reading tonight

2007-09-25T20:37:58Z

It's me, again. Telling you about another reading late, again.

The 400 is doing a tribute to Shel Silverstein tonight for his birthday. Andy Ulseth and Nick Africano will be performing the songs of Shel Silverstein, while I will be doing several readings from his book Where the Sidewalk Ends. The cover is 5$, doors are at 7. It won't be a long show, so come out and have a drink and still get home in time to catch House. I hear Hugh Laurie is going to say something dry and witty tonight, so you probably won't want to miss it.

If you can't make it out tonight, I'll recommend tomorrow nights show as well. Caroline Smith. Michael Morris. Johanna Kunin. And the fantastic Horse Feathers (all of the other performers are great, too, but these guys are hawesome). And it's only 5$, too. That's four amazing bands for just five bucks.

website update

2007-09-04T08:57:26Z

1. The redirects to the worm blog pages should be a little bit faster.
2. The awesome mixtape podcast page now has the promo video embeded.
3. Our book worm page has always been pretty pathetic. It's now a little more "flashy" with some help from http://goodreads.com.
4. yetiyenta is now wittyworm.
5. the tip jar now has a 12 month payment option.
