It’s Halloween, and after reading Charity’s list of favorite scary movies – all good by the way – I decided to bite (pun intended!), and write about my very favorite scary film of all time. I saw in the theatre at least three times (maybe more – I forget) and at least 50 more times [...]

Ethan told me at reunion that I blog about music too much. You know why I blog so much about music? Because nothing else I can think of – not food, not shopping, not books or television or movies or sculpture or any other still or moving art – can instantly affect my mood the [...]

Sorry this post took so long, but I was hit by a terrible cold/flu of some sort in the middle of last week, so I spent must of the last few days unable to lift my head from the pillow. But I feel better now, so on with the Ree Ree concert review!
In short, it [...]
Unbelievable!!

I hope that this dumb trick spends a good long time thinking about how horrible, incendiary, and irresponsible it was for her to tell a lie like that.
And I hope she does that thinking in a jail cell.
What a divisive, race-baiting, bullsh** move. Idiot.

OMG, I meant to post this WEEKS ago. And for some reason I’m unusually weepy today (and I’m not a crier!) so I need to cheer myself up. And this is just the thing to do it!
So I talked about my ‘list’ already. You can read about it here.
Anyway, I have made a trade. Sting, who [...]

YAY! I’m going to see Aretha Franklin, y’all! The Queen of Soul! The show is Wednesday at an awesome venue here in town. I’m so excited that I decided to make a quick playlist of my favorite Aretha songs. I LOVE her!
Dr. Feelgood (Love Is A Serious Business), Aretha Franklin. My favorite Aretha track, hands [...]

I literally just got back from my Colorado weekend a few hours ago. We were supposed to come back yesterday, but more on that later. It feels like it’s been an eternity since I blogged, so here is a wrap:
Colorado, Part I. OMG, my 48-hour Beaver Creek, Colo. vacay was AWESOME! I packed [...]
I need a Colorado rocky mountain high!

I was going to blog about the Project Runway finale and the presidential debate, but you know what? I’m worn out and I don’t feel like it. I’ll just say this – the person I wanted to win PR did not, and the person I wanted to win the debate did (IMO). And in both [...]

I am sitting in the library doing research. The stuff I’m looking for can’t be found on electronic databases, so there I sit amid a huge stack of papers, books, and manual indexes, in search of the information I seek.
I look to my left, and am surprised to find sitting right next to me none [...]

Hell must’ve frozen over, because I love a Beyoncé song.
Yes, I liked a couple of her songs on her first album, but then her work seemed to degenerate into uncreative synthetic-percussion-driven tracks that seem to serve no purpose other than allowing her to do her little booty-shaking dance thing. Throw in a couple of ballads [...]
