My XM In-Flight Radio Music List!
On August 23, 2009 at 2:30 am
When traveling by plane, your carry-on luggage should probably include a few essentials: underwear, toothbrush, deodorant. But when it comes time for me to take flight, I care about having two things with me on the plane: a book and my iPod.
I recently took a trip to Florida for a family occasion, and, in usual [...]
Look At That, I Grew Up Where Hailey Glassman Did
On August 21, 2009 at 1:30 am
We all thought this story was dead. Turns out that Jon Gosselin is still with his young love, Hailey Glassman, no matter what that *expletive* Kate Major says! Hailey spoke candidly in her E! News interview…nah, she’s not fame-chasing at all! I can’t speak for the motives of someone who is willing to date a [...]
Project Runway Season Premiere!
On at 1:29 am
This spring I had a chance to meet Project Runway’s Tim Gunn. Suffice it to say, it was one of my dreams come true. In my shamelessly dorked-out state, I asked him to give me some information about the new season of Project Runway. In his uniquely Tim Gunn way, he told me that Season [...]
Rosie Don’t Go Away Mad, Girl Just Go Away…
On at 1:28 am
Kids do you remember 2007? It was the year Bulgaria and Romania joined the European Union. Nancy Pelosi became the first female Speaker of the House in 2007. Who can forget Steve Jobs introducing the first iPhone in January of that year?
But for now disregard foreign policy, domestic politics and technological advances. 2007 was the [...]
Julie & Julia
On at 1:26 am
“JULIE & JULIA” (Film Review)
Rating: PG-13 (brief moments of strong language)
Director: Nora Ephron
Before Rachel Ray, before Emeril, and even before Martha Stewart (before you were born), there was Julia Child.
Before the current “foodie” audience made possible the existence of the Food Network, Julia Child set out to write the first cookbook of French cooking in [...]
Looks Can Be Deceiving!
On at 1:20 am
There is no such thing as second best when it comes to fashion. There is no alternate solution for the equation. Purchasing the next best thing will never be as fulfilling as purchasing what you really desire. There is a sense of pride that comes along with owning an original. How often have you seen someone [...]
Meghan McCain To Host “The View” On ABC
On August 20, 2009 at 10:47 am
Meghan McCain, daughter of former Presidential candidate John McCain, announced this morning that she will be hosting ABC’s The View while conservative Elizabeth Hasselbeck is on maternity leave. She announced via Twitter:
Yes, the rumors are true, I will be guest hosting The View while Elisabeth is on maternity leave. I couldn’t be more honored or [...]
Is Obama The Anti-Christ?
On at 5:31 am
A friend sent me the following YouTube video:
The video, using a Reconstructionist Rabbi as its source, tries to build a case that Barack Obama is the Anti-Christ. The video claims that Obama’s name, when phonetically spelled in Hebrew, translates to “Lightning from the heights,” which is apparently a New Testament reference to Satan and the [...]
Strange Things Are Afoot At SyFy
On at 5:29 am
Last Saturday, I sat down in front of the TV like I do most weekends, and flipped through the channels looking for something to watch. When I arrived at the list of the Sci‑Fi channel’s programming for the night, after playing with the previous/next channel switcher, I eventually found something that piqued my curiosity. Presented [...]
District 9 Review
On at 5:26 am
Science fiction films have grown old with me. They are full of tired and overused characteristics; there is just nothing new. We had innovative films like Aliens and Predator. Now, all Hollywood can come up with is Aliens vs. Predator! We are finally given a film that has the guts to transform the alien sub-genre. [...]
Flat Out!
On at 4:30 am
There is nothing sexier than a woman in heels. Not just any heel, but a heel 3 inches or higher. Heels have the power to both elongate, and tone a woman’s leg. By adding height and altering a woman’s walk, heels have the power to entrap any man who dares take notice of their Medusa like [...]
Individually Mainstream!
On August 19, 2009 at 4:15 am
Last night I had the pleasure of attending the Ben Sherman Fall 2009 launch party. Ben Sherman is known for it’s Mod inspired design aesthetic, with reference to The Beatles. Everyone in attendance at the event in some way channeled that hippy psychedelic plaid fringe motif. As I perused the event I noticed that the crowd [...]
William Golding And The Rape Of Dora
On at 4:14 am
Upon reading Lord of the Flies, I am pretty sure that I wouldn’t leave any children in his care. But upon reading his memoir, I’m fairly certain that I myself wouldn’t be left alone with him.
William Golding, who penned the dark tale of innocence lost, Lord of the Flies, was a jack of many trades [...]
The Auteur Report Card: Quentin Tarantino
On at 4:13 am
It’s a bit stunning to finally see the trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s newest epic, the World War II kill-fest “Inglourious Basterds.” It’s almost like Guns and Roses finally releasing “Chinese Democracy” this year. Tarantino’s film is one that I’ve heard about for almost ten years. It was always one of his potential projects that one [...]
The Real Scoop On True Blood
On at 4:12 am
Look around on TV or in theaters, and you’d be hard pressed to find something that offends both Christians and gays equally. (Or, should offend gays.) Unfortunately, Alan Ball’s True Blood, the tele-adaptation of Charlaine Harris’ The Southern Vampire Mysteries, on HBO does exactly that.
True Blood represents a departure of sorts for Ball. No stranger [...]
Shaq Vs.
On at 4:11 am
Shaq wants to “prove he’s a world class competitor in all sports” and who can blame him? He’s a competitor who’s won multiple NBA championships so naturally he wants to compete. And if there’s one person in the NBA good natured and entertaining enough for their own ABC show about sports competition, it’s definitely Shaq. [...]
