If you read my tweets, you know that I'm addicted to watching the reruns of Miami Vice -- in no small part, to see all the famous folk who show up in the episodes (long before they were famous).
Last night, for example, there was a very young Chris Rock with a pretty big role, but you know all the hoopla at the time was for guest star James Brown. Yes, that James Brown.
It was a great show - a real hoot - tho serious MV fans have labelled this episode ("Missing Hours") the worst of the series. Go figure.
And, when I was surfing around this morning to make sure I was right -- that young kid with the bad hairdo really WAS Chris Rock -- I discovered that you can watch a lot of old TV episodes for free at IMDb.com.
There's over 93 episodes of Miami Vice there for the watching at IMDb. I'm in ReRun Heaven.

How to Re-upolster a Chair From Goodwill
If you follow this blog, you know that I'm on the hunt for the Perfect Reading Chair, and I'm roaming the estate sales, consignment shops, etc. without any luck so far. This week, I realized that I may find the Perfect Reading Chair but it might need some TLC (tender loving care) ... and going to the web, I found this diy video. Don't know if I've got the time or the patience to do this, but if it's the Perfect Chair except for some hideous fabric, I just might ....
Found this video on YouTube, and it's great: here, a wing chair from Goodwill that cost $10.00 is given new life with upolstery fabric sold for $1/yard at a discount store. (If you like this, check the sidebar -- Balusan also has videos on how to redo dining room chairs, occasional chairs, etc. Great stuff.)

Great Sites Where You Click to Give - Hunger Site, Animal Rescue Site
Every day I get an email reminder to click on The Hunger Site, where every day my single click helps feed the hungry (duplicate clicks from my IP address on the same day don't get counted).
And then, because the tabs are right up there at the top, I cruise over and click The Literary Site, The Animal Rescue Site, etc. and contribute my daily click count there, too. There are only a few tabs, this only takes a minute. One minute, max.
They keep their results online, so you can see how your click adds to thousands of others and produces real help. There are also lots of cool products for sale at reasonable prices that help various efforts, too.
Thought I'd share this -- makes me feel good to do this every day, maybe you'll like contributing Your Daily Click too ....
