… I’ve been absent. Sorry. I do have lots to say. I’m just wicked busy. I promise to post within the next day or two. Promise.

I normally don’t watch Letterman, but maybe I need to start, because this is friggin’ fantastic! It’s worth watching the whole 9 minutes.
Elleen’s Essentials: Singin’ songs about the southland!
Posted in Elleen's Essentials, Video, music on September 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’m tired, swamped (and more than a bit frustrated) with work, not feeling great physically, and generally in a crummy (crumby?) mood today. So I need a fun song to cheer myself up.
Sweet Home Alabama, Lynryd Skynyrd. That’s right, I said it! Now, before people start emailing me to complain or to question my blackness, [...]
Emmys red carpet: the fugly
Posted in Fashion, TV on September 22, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Some people in Hollywood clearly either have no mirrors in their houses, or no sense of style to speak of. Many of these people were on the red carpet last night. And strangely, many chose to wear white, so as to draw extra attention to their fugliness. It was like March of the Fug Brides. [...]
Emmys red carpet: the bad

There were some disappointing frocks on the red carpet last night.
Obviously most red carpet gowns tend to be floor length. But I’m also fond of those who choose to wear cocktail-length frocks. But – call me old fashioned – I hate dresses that fall in between those two lengths on the red carpet. Really, the [...]
Emmys red carpet: the good

Those who know me know that the red carpet at the Oscars is my equivalent to the Super Bowl. I clear the calendar, prepare a host of snacks, and park myself in front of the television for two hours of uninterrupted viewing (I hardly ever watch the actual awards show. Boring!)
Anyway, last night was the [...]
Elleen’s Essentials: Willie and the Po’ Boys are playin’!

When I started thinking up my favorite songs of all time, I was certain that almost all of them would come from the ‘80s. I was pretty surprised to discover that most are actually from the ‘60s and ‘70s. Like this track:
Down On The Corner, Creedence Clearwater Revival. I luvs me some CCR, and this [...]
Elleen’s Essentials: Please, come take my hand
Posted in Elleen's Essentials, music on September 19, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Many people find this blog by accident, searching the web for various things. The number one search that brings people here is for the song New Shoes by Paolo Nutini (seriously – at least a few times a day somebody Googles something to the effect of “Hey, I put some new shoes on” and finds [...]
Kelly baby daddy discussion time!
Posted in TV, Things That Make Elleen Happy on September 18, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Ok, I gave y’all time to watch the replay of this week’s episode last night, so i no longer consider this a “spoiler.” I’m ready to discuss!!
The more I think about the “Dylan is Kelly Baby Daddy” reveal on 90210, the more I realize that this was obviously the best (only?) way the writers could [...]
Elleen’s Essentials: I want the Young American!
Posted in Elleen's Essentials, music on September 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I love David Bowie. LOVE him. I love his music. I love his one blue eye. I love his wife (I mean, she’s Iman, people!!) Love him!! Can’t believe I’ve never seen him perform live. That’s tragic.
Anyway, this track is crazy sick:
Young Americans, David Bowie. I love Bowie (have we established that?) but I love this track [...]
