Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

Newhart Sets Sights on 'ER' for Guest Arc
By Nellie Andreeva

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Comedy great Bob Newhart is embarking on a rare venture into drama with a recurring role on NBC's "ER."

He will play Ben Hollander, an architect suffering with macular degeneration. As his progressive loss of sight increasingly affects his ability to work, Hollander also begins to lose interest in the world. He befriends Dr. Susan Lewis (Sherry Stringfield), who develops an odd attachment to him.

The first episode of Newhart's three-episode arc is slated to air Oct. 30. [...]
::sigh:: Yet another plum role, PLAYING AN ARCHITECT, goes to some other guy. And I WEAR GLASSES, too! AND, I can do that telephone-call schtick just as well as Newhart---"Uh-huh. Uh-huh. You say you're INSIDE the wall? Uh-huh. And the contractor has left for the day... Mmmhm. Are you near the bathroom? Oh. Well that might be a problem then."

I would rather play opposite of Maura Tierney, though. Or Ming-Na Wen.

Rrrowll.
