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 [...]

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. [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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! [...]
