UPDATE: Yay! He’s gone! To the LA Dodgers, where some other once-beloved-Red-Sox-turned-punks went. Like this one. And this one. You’ll fit right in, Manuel! Adios!
I actually have a ton of work to do, but I keep seeing stuff that compels me to comment. Like this.
Y’all know I luvs my Red Sox. I [...]

Speaking of questionable cartoon movies
Posted in Misc on July 31, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Ok, so I was pretty excited about the prospect of Disney making a movie featuring its first black princess. I know there was some trouble reported early on, and the writers ended up redoing parts of it. (Among other things, I’m glad the original title of The Frog Princess was changed to The Princess And [...]

Ok, as many of you know, my favorite cartoon character is Marvin the Martian. Those old Bugs Bunny cartoons featuring his hijinks with Bugs and Daffy are a priceless treasure, and should never, ever be messed with.
Well, someone is messing with them. There is a new cartoon and live action (!) movie in the works based on [...]
Please help me choose a song for my Dad
Posted in Misc on July 30, 2008 | 4 Comments »
UPDATE: I picked a song. I actually found it on an internet list of possible bride-father weeding dance songs. It’s well-known, but a bit unconventional. And best of all – I already know all the words so I don’t have to worry about messing it up! I’ll tell you what it is next week (just [...]
Who’s that girl?!

Ok, I haven’t made any catty comments about celebrities in a while because, frankly, I’ve kind of been busy with my own life (among other things, my in-laws have been staying with us for about a month now, work has been crazy, my illness had gotten better but it’s flaring up again…) but I have [...]

I got an email from a nice person I don’t know (and I thought only my friends read this blog!) asking what kind of dog our sweet boy is.
The answer: We don’t know for sure. He’s a rescue – my boyfriend and I adopted him from the local Animal Welfare League. Our best guess is that [...]
DC apparently luvs Stacy and Clinton

You know the show What Not To Wear on TLC? Well, I’m addicted to it, but in case you aren’t, it’s a makeover show where the friends or family members of a fashion victim enlist the stylish duo Stacy and Clinton to ambush the poor unwitting person with a $5,000 wardrobe makeover. (Oh, by the [...]
I get so weak in the knees (cuz’ I’m old and they creak)
Posted in Misc, Video, music on July 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
So, since we are on the subject music flashbacks, I was giving the interwebs one last surf before calling it a work week and I came across a Jezebel post about the song Weak by SWV, and how crazy it is that it came out 16 years ago. I know!
So I’m watching the video, singing [...]
Jukebox: Black Kids and 80s music edition
Posted in Jukebox on July 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
So I’ve already professed my love for the Black Kids’ album, and I realize that the reason I love the cuts so much is because they all remind me of other artists. Artists who I adore. Mostly from the 80s. So I made a playlist of all the songs that I thought of this week [...]

I know the week’s not over, but I have suffered enough. Also, this week brought a surprisingly large number of happy diversions for me – just when I needed them most. So I must share them with you. Right now. Here are the things that got me throught he week of July 20, 2008:
