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!

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 [...]

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 [...]

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!

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 [...]

Over the past week or so, I’ve noticed a lot of awesome people having birthdays, and realized that I share my astrological sign with some kick-ass folks. Holla! Here’s a sample:
Diana Ross. Ah, the original diva turns 65 today! I’m truly happy to share both my sign and my hometown with this lady. Happy Birthday [...]
Friday Jukebox: Springtime with Paula

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. [...]
