I literally just finished watching Boomerang. It’s one of those films that I find on a random channel surf every few years, and end up watching until the end and laughing my ass off. It’s really hysterical! What every happened to Grace Jones? Strangé!!! I digress…
One of the best parts of the film is the [...]

Jukebox: Whitney!
Posted in Jukebox, music on August 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday was Whitney Houston’s birthday. And she’s about to put out new music. This is a cause for celebration – and a Jukebox.
Million Dollar Bill, Whitney Houston. I’m so excited that Whitney is putting out a new album. Really. I have been rooting for this girl for so long, and to see her pull herself [...]
Jukebox: Legal ease

So the other day I heard Crush by Dave Matthews on the radio in the car. I had forgotten how much I loved it. And like other songs from my formative years of my life, it instantly transported me right back to its time: the law school years.
Oh lawdhammercy, the law school years. In the [...]
Jukebox: George is moving me!

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. [...]
Jukebox: The SBW edition

I woke up this morning in need of some serious self empowerment. And the first song that popped into my head was the Erykah Badu track, Apple Tree. A little strange, because I haven’t heard this song in years. It wasn’t even on my iPod – I had to go find the CD and upload [...]
Jukebox: Rain, rain, go away!

I know it has been an eternity since I blogged last. Ok, I exaggerate – not quite an eternity. But a long, long time. Sorry!
But I have good excuses! For those who know, a big excuse has been my new side gig as an original dress maker (for some reason I am not ready to [...]
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: We want the funk! Give up the funk! Ooowww!
Posted in Jukebox, Things That Make Elleen Happy, music on February 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
So this was a rare double concert week for me. Wednesday night I went to see Tom Jones perform. For a 68-year-old dude, he can still put on quite an impressive show!
Tonight, I’m off to see another performer who is still badass despite knocking on the door of 70: Dr. Funenstein himself, George Clinton.
I’ve seen [...]
