Sorry it’s been so long since I blogged. I moved (ugh!), my job never ceased to kick me in the rear, all the puppy drama left me sad, and Facebook is just too easily accessible and hard to resist.
Anyway, I think we all need a pick-me-up, don’t you? It’s too early in the morning for [...]

Jukebox: George is moving me!
Posted in 80s, Hot, Jukebox, Things That Make Elleen Happy, Video, music on June 15, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Moving sucks. I hate it. More than almost anything.
Don’t get me wrong – I love getting a new fresh start in a new place. But the sorting through of things, packing things, throwing away things, losing things, repacking things, unpacking things, not being able to find things, breaking things…it all sucks rocks. All of it. [...]
Friday Jukebox: Springtime with Paula
Posted in 80s, Jukebox, Things That Make Elleen Happy, Video, music on March 20, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Twenty-one.
That is the number of Paula Abdul songs on my iPod. I know every word to every one. I am not ashamed.
I know, these days Paula spends her time acting completely high on American Idol, acting completely high on home shopping channels and, for a little while, acting completely high on her own reality show. [...]
Jukebox: Friday the 13th edition

So it’s Friday the 13th. For the second time in as many months. Because I don’t need any more bad luck than I already have, I’ve decided to fight back. So here is my lucky playlist, full of superstitious references. I figure if I just put them all out there, the bad luck will stay [...]
Jukebox: Pick-me-up edition

So this has been one tough week. The financial crisis hit way too close to home, and I had a mini breakdown followed by a mini depression. At least the weather warmed up this weekend, which gave me the opportunity to spend lots of time outdoors trying to help my dog and myself walk off [...]
Friday Jukebox: Doin’ a little New Jack Swing (Yip yip!)

So last night I met up with one of my best friends in high school, Angie, who I had not seen in about 17 years. She’s still a big ol’ dose of awesome. We caught up and reminisced about the good, the bad and the ugly of our little tiny Michigan Catholic school, which was [...]
Elleen’s Essentials: Ihn liebten alle Frauen

I know every word to this Elleen’s Essentials track. I do not speak German. But I rap along to this joint like I was born in raised in Vienna. At least that is what it sounds like to me, in my own head:
Rock Me Amadeus, Falco. And I mean the original, not he weird American [...]
Elleen’s Essentials: I light my torch and wave it!

Happy Monday, y’all! Good day for this next essential tune:
New Moon on Monday, Duran Duran. My love for this band is no secret. My childhood crush on John Taylor has long worn off (I still think he’s hot, tho), but I still think the album Seven and the Ragged Tiger is brilliant. Good, good, [...]
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 [...]
Jukebox: Diamond is a girl’s best friend
Posted in 80s, Jukebox, Movies, Video, music on August 2, 2008 | 3 Comments »
UPDATE: As I listened to Neil’s Glory Road double CD over the weekend, I realized I made three glaring Jukebox omissions. Not that the list was meant to be exhaustive, but these three can’t not be on it. So now the list is a nice, round 20 songs.
Excited! Excited! The Neil Diamond concert is Tuesday! [...]
