This week in review August 18, 2008

So here’s what was up with me and mine this past week:
Solo Olympics. So I mentioned that my boyfriend is in Beijing. He’s there with a buddy of his to see the Olympics. He is very excited. People are asking me why I didn’t go. Answer’s simple - I’d love to go to China. But [...]

What I covet August 17, 2008

Here’s what’s on my material lust list this week:
I can’t help but wonder: should I buy this dress? Ok, remember when I wrote about the dress Miranda wore in the Sex and the City movie, and how I had to have it?
Guess what? I found it!! And it’s actually affordable.
I’m in a quandary, though. After [...]

Jukebox: Material Girl’s golden birthday edition August 16, 2008

Tomorrow Madonna turns 50. To celebrate a half century of the Material lady’s existence on the planet, I’ll be rockin’ her tunes all weekend. Probably longer. (My BF is en route to Beijing for 10 days, so I have the run of the entertainment system! And luckily, my dog loves Madonna too. His favorite track [...]

Get well, Bernie and Morgan! August 5, 2008

I am saddened today by the news that two of my favorite entertainers, Morgan Freeman and Bernie Mac, are both in the hospital (Freeman after a car accident, and Mac with pneumonia), and one or both or neither of them may or may not be in serious or critical condition or near death (publicists are [...]

Jukebox: Diamond is a girl’s best friend August 2, 2008

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! [...]

Adele, you are my new favorite June 19, 2008

So last night the BF and I caught the Adele show here in DC. And it was awesome! In addition to being really, really ridiculously talented, the girl is just adorable.
You forget when you are listening to her larger-than-life singing voice that she is a 20-year-old kid. But then, between songs, she reminds you by [...]

Mark Wahlberg is my favorite person today June 13, 2008

Oh this is great!
Remember my disappointment in the New Kids reunion? And how I said I wished Donnie Wahlberg had followed the wisdom of his brother Mark after establishing a respectable acting career?
Well, when Mark was asked if he would ever consider a Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch reunion, the same way his brother [...]

Jukebox: All hail the Prince! June 8, 2008

Today Prince turned 50. FIFTY!! Isn’t that absolutely insane? Oh, and he looks exactly the same. So in celebration of a half century of purple majesty, here’s this week’s Prince-themed Jukebox. And since picking just 10 Prince songs is like eating just one Lay’s potato chip, it’s an extended edition (there are 70 Prince tracks [...]

New York swept me off my feet - literally June 3, 2008

As much as I have hyped and psyched myself up for the SATC movie, I was fully prepared to be disappointed Saturday. After all, the movie could not possibly live up to my expectations, could it?
Well, it could. And it did. Exceeded them. That movie was effing AWESOME!
I am not even kidding, it was great. [...]

Jukebox: The SATC in NYC edition May 30, 2008

So as I head off for my weekend in New York for the Sex and the City movie and to see my friends and indulge in other things about NYC that I love (my new favorite eyebrow threading place, which is way better than the other place I used to go to; having Sunday brunch [...]
