Sunny day!  Sweeping the clouds away!  On my way to where the air is sweet.  Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?

I Heart Mariska

March 11th, 2009 · 6 Comments

I have always like Law & Order SVU even though it deals with some pretty horrible subject matter.  I think Mariska Hargitay is a great actress and for some reason I just always took a shine to her.  I don’t generally follow celebrity lives, but on the local news last night they mentioned that she [...]

What’s the Story Wishbone?

March 3rd, 2009 · 9 Comments

Jade is at home today thanks to some less than happy moments spent in front of a bowl this morning.  Once things calmed down and she slept for a while, she woke up wanting some “comfort television” – in particular Arthur, Bear in the Big Blue House,  Blue’s Clues and Wishbone.  Of these shows, our [...]

Lil Wayne, Coldplay Lead Grammy Nominations

February 4th, 2009 · 3 Comments

The only Lil’ Wayne song I’ve heard is one about a lollipop – and it was done by a rock band – sort of as a joke I think, because it sounds so weird to hear them rock on the rap lyrics.  Anyway – 8 Grammy nods – I guess I should try to listen [...]

Obama Calls Jessica Simpson a Fatty

February 2nd, 2009 · 13 Comments

Ok – no he didn’t. He was merely MAKING AN OBSERVATION about what is all the news this past week.  He didn’t say HE thought she was fat.  He merely noted what the hub-bub and headlines were about.  I saw this “offending” interview this morning along with the rest of the Lauer/Obama interview.  Any regular [...]

Bridgestone – My Favorite Superbowl Commercial

February 2nd, 2009 · 11 Comments

You know a commercial is good when you rewind the DVR to watch it again and to call others into the room who missed it.  There were several very funny ads, but this was my favorite.

Fox Fear Flakes

January 27th, 2009 · 15 Comments

This bit from The Daily Show cracks me up.  The Fox folks have Fear Flakes for breakfast.
I love the part where O’Reilly says he doesn’t like the part in (Obama’s) speech where he says we don’t have to compromise our values to protect ourselves – then O’Reilly says that he thinks we do.  Then John [...]

And now, in football news…

January 20th, 2009 · 10 Comments

Sunday I turned on the game just in time to see Troy Polamalu make a TOTALLY AWESOME touchdown.  Shortly after that a poor dude from the Ravens bit the dust and was, after what seemed a long time, carted off of the field.  I guess he’s gonna be ok – which is great of course.  [...]

Cities of the Underworld

January 8th, 2009 · No Comments

Don Wildman is the kind of guy a girl likes to daydream that he’s her boyfriend.  He’s rugged looking, a little scruffy, brave and adventurous in that Indiania Jones way that just makes you heart flutter a bit.  Only you probably wouldn’t really want him for a boyfriend unless you plan on admiring him from [...]
