Those little red envelopes you are talking about, do they contain DVDs?<br>Some of the points you take remind me of my friend M., a TV-journalist and filmmaker. Watching a movie with her is always an erudition, I have learned to observe things that previously escaped my attention. And soo does your blog, educate me in many ways. Thank you for that. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35240219.post-89194713757906987332007-07-13T22:49:00.000-04:002007-07-13T22:49:00.000-04:00Awww, Merisi, I'm blushing. Thank you for your kin...Awww, Merisi, I'm blushing. Thank you for your kind words.<br><br>The red envelopes are from Netflix, which is also something I wish I had thought of; for a monthly fee we get DVDs mailed to us and when we're done with a movie we mail it back and they mail the next one in our queue. We usually get the next movie within 48 hours of mailing the previous one back. That's pretty fast when we still have two movies to watch. If we don't remember to watch them quickly, though, it becomes a very expensive rental.<br><br>(They're not paying me to say this, I promise)<br><br>As for Project Runway, though, I've been told it airs around the world, so you may be able to find it in Austria. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35240219.post-90232184427874974292007-07-14T00:29:00.000-04:002007-07-14T00:29:00.000-04:00i'm so with you on "fashion". i hadn't heard of th...i'm so with you on "fashion". i hadn't heard of this show yet, wonder when it will hit germany. heidi is hosting a model show, maybe she'll do this next? anyway ... this is interesting and you tube offers some free insights. i like challenges and i sounds very intriguins being able to watch the designers working on the challenge. and see the result of course. as to airing, it depends on your network whether they show it. need to check it up. my cable station has luxe.tv which has interesting shows every time i zap thru. i'm not into luxary at all, but interesting to find out AND SEE more details about embroidery, fashion, interiors etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35240219.post-31687221059275723592007-07-14T05:20:00.000-04:002007-07-14T05:20:00.000-04:00Oh, stop blushing, I hadn't even told that your bl...Oh, stop blushing, I hadn't even told that your blog musings (hope that's a respectful term *g*) make me feel connected to the place I will always consider my most important "home". *chuckle*<br>I had heard about that DVD-Service (a friend of mine moved to Spokane from DC, sort of very "out there" for her, and she was thinking of subscribing). For me, as much as I love watching movies, it would probably mean paying a lot of late fees, because I usually do not find the time to watch a DVD from the library within the deadline and often end up paying hefty fines for what should have been a cheap entertainment (not even watching that thing, what pits!).<br>I think I did see a couple of episodes of the show you watched, in 2005, or something similar, with young designers working on deadline. I remember one drop dead gorgious woman, mother of a couple of kids, whom I liked very much.<br>Have a great weekend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35240219.post-15893345893069235502007-07-16T07:51:00.000-04:002007-07-16T07:51:00.000-04:00I'm not into reality shows but I kinda like that s...I'm not into reality shows but I kinda like that show - just laugh sooo hard at all the divas.

Though not something I'd want to actually wear myself, he did create something that looked very haute couture with the napkins. I thought it was a fun and interesting challenge - if the show is anything like that little segment I saw, I think I'd rather enjoy it myself. Hope you're enjoying your summer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35240219.post-20810025598972540432007-07-17T15:12:00.000-04:002007-07-17T15:12:00.000-04:00Came back to clarify, I don't normally watch dayti...Came back to clarify, I don't normally watch daytime TV very often - but as I recall, it was on a TV in a waiting room.<br><br>OH MY GOSH!
