Ok, I enthusiastically feted Prince and Madonna with special jukebox posts on this blog when they turned 50. I was not going to do the same thing for Michael Jackson, who turns 50 today.
Granted, my iPod is full of Mike’s tunes. But I don’t hold him in my heart nearly the way I hold [...]

Red zone

So, I’ve always said that if I were to be reincarnated as a white girl, I’d have red hair. Well, it looks like I won’t have to wait that long.
Keeping with my L’Oreal boycott, cuz I’m still way annoyed at them, I went to buy some color in a box at my local drugstore. Literally [...]
America’s Next Top Crazayzy!

True to my word I did not watch The Hills, but you better believe I will be watching the new season of America’s Next Top Model when it premiers next month! That is one of my favorite train wreck TV shows. This season there is a transgendered model. (I think there may have been a [...]
Dilemma: what to watch?!

UPDATE: As it turns out I was able to watch both the game (YAY!) and Hil (Meh. Her suit was nice, though. Oh, and I liked the ‘Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantsuits’ line. Funny.)
So y’all know I’m a political junkie. And I’m also a rabid fan of a certain team I do not mention here [...]
What made me happy this week

Ok, so I’m not in the deep droopy doldrums that I was in a while back when I started the weekly “What got me through” posts. I don’t really need help ‘getting through’ right now – which is good! Some stuff is just making me happy now. Here is what did it for the last [...]
WHAT?!?!?!

Ugh. I know I declared that this blog would be a politics-free zone. But the blog is about what I’m feeling and thinking, and this morning’s news has me feeling disappointed and thinking that somebody has been smoking some wacky tobacky.
I’ll just refer you to this Wonkette post, which summarizes perfectly what I think.
Oh, and [...]
Jukebox: Fashion, friends, food, fruity cocktails, and fabulosity

I’m back in DC after my quick out-of-town work jaunt, and next on my agenda is a fun brunch I’m throwing at my place on Sunday.
It’s a clothing swap party – some of my girlfriends are coming with items from their closet they have grown tired of. I’ll offer up some of my own pieces [...]
Rock me tonight!

Sorry I’ve been lagging in my blogging responsibilities. I’ve been in Boston for work for a few days, and I was sitting in a place where my computer screen was in plain view of my boss. Hence, no blogging. I’ll catch up with y’all this weekend.
I’m sitting in Logan Airport right now ready to head [...]
No more ‘Hills.’ I mean it!

I will not watch the new season of The Hills, which starts tonight. Call BS on me all you want. It ain’t happening. My television is officially a no LC, no Speidi zone.
I didn’t watch the show in the beginning – I only tuned in to see who the hell the people popping up ad [...]
This week in review

So here’s what was up with me and mine this past week:
Solo Olympics. So I mentioned that my boyfriend is in Beijing. He’s there with a buddy of his to see the Olympics. He is very excited. People are asking me why I didn’t go. Answer’s simple – I’d love to go to China. But [...]
