Song for my Dad August 11, 2008

Oh, and this is the song I sang for my Dad. I dedicated it to my Mom too. I changed a couple of words to make it a bit more personal, but kept the gist. They really loved it, which is what matters.

Not the Illudium Q36 Exploding Space Modulator! July 31, 2008

Ok, as many of you know, my favorite cartoon character is Marvin the Martian. Those old Bugs Bunny cartoons featuring his hijinks with Bugs and Daffy are a priceless treasure, and should never, ever be messed with.
Well, someone is messing with them. There is a new cartoon and live action (!) movie in the works based on [...]

Who’s that girl?! July 30, 2008

Ok, I haven’t made any catty comments about celebrities in a while because, frankly, I’ve kind of been busy with my own life (among other things, my in-laws have been staying with us for about a month now, work has been crazy, my illness had gotten better but it’s flaring up again… but I have [...]

Mom’s Day shout out May 12, 2008

Since by my count, no less than 10 of my friends are either pregnant or have given birth within the past year (including one who gave birth yesterday - what a Mom’s Day gift!) here’s a belated happy Mom’s Day shout out to all my mommy homies! Hope you had a great day yesterday!
I was [...]

I’m Back!! May 7, 2008

Ok, I know I have been MIA for a long time now, but I had a weeklong parasitic stomach ailment (!) to contend with, then a visit from my parents (much more on that later) and a crapload of work to catch up on. But my head has reemerged from underwater somewhat, so I’ll be [...]

The Jukebox: Completely random edition April 25, 2008

Ok, because (1) I’m still listening to last week’s playlist and (2) I feel way too yucky to be creative (insomnia+migraines= ) I will leave this week’s jukebox to my iPod to decide. I set the thing to random, and the first 10 songs that it plays (out of a possible 1,791) will be [...]

Oh, no! April 24, 2008

No! No!!!
Just when my already astronomical level of excitement over the upcoming “Sex and the City” movie peaked even higher when I saw a new trailer on TV yesterday, Fergie had to go muss it up with a song from the soundtrack that is just bad. Really, it’s hideous! Worse than “London Bridges.” Way worse. [...]

Housewives, ice cream, and catty snarkiness - must be Tuesday April 23, 2008

UPDATE 2: Jezebel is the best. They have another highlight clip - featuring the disaster that is Ramona! Oh my - she may replace Willem DaFoe as the person who haunts my dreams and fills me with dread and dismay.
UPDATE: Jezebel has a wrap-up complete with a clip of highlights! I can watch this a [...]

Five things you may not know about me April 15, 2008

Ok, so I realized that a person reading this blog who doesn’t know me may think I am an odd, shallow person who doesn’t read anything more challenging than Vogue, and who thinks watching “I Love the 80s” is a cultural activity. So not true. Well, not really. So here are 5 things that you [...]

Study: Pretty wives treated better by husbands April 11, 2008

Ok, I just read a news story about the results of a scientific study, and it just really pissed me off.
The gist: Beautiful women are more likely to be worshipped by their husbands. I am not making this stuff up - it’s what the study said! Oh, and less attractive men make more attentive husbands [...]
