1. That is one remarkably strange schedule.

2. Strange indeed!

You'll note that I've left off trying to 'name' the evening's programming-- it's a melange of weird stuff. Sunday night's not quite as bad, but weird all the same. It's like someone was trying to make tomorrow night's line-up just as strange and 'diverse' as possible, and I think they quite succeeded!!

Thanks about the graphics!

Happy New Year 2011 to you too!! Cheers!! :toast: :party:
