At-it-tude

Thanks to The Soup, I saw this jem, and I had to share. BTW, it’s easy to laugh at people’s stupidity when you don’t like them to begin with. Strike one.

First Reviews of True Blood

It is a sad, sad day. It’s not as if I’m going to believe everything I read, but most of the time, Entertainment Weekly’s opinions are very similar to my own, even if they did give a B- to ”The House Bunny,” which I truly doubt is worthy of such a grade.
But, their grade for my most [...]

I Love My Dentist

The other day, Ryan and I had our six month cleaning. And we normally go together, so when the dentist asked who wanted to go first, Ryan and I rochambeau’d for the honor.
I won. AND, if they didn’t before, our dentist really loves us now.
P.S. The free toothbrush they gave us has so many features [...]

Ricky Gervais’ New Podcast Series

There’ll be new material on iTunes beginning Sept. 16 with Gervais, Steve Merchant, and Karl Pilkington. But until then, enjoy this fantastically animated piece of the old podcast show.

Can chocolate go bad?

Twilight Moves Ahead; Potter Gets Grounded

Okay, so unexplicably (and this news is more than a week old, sorry), Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince got yanked from its Nov. 21 release date and moved … to the SUMMER?!
Warner Bros. says that this is to boost their summer 2009 schedule, but I think that’s a BS answer. It’s now scheduled [...]

Whatchamacallit

I just had a whatchamacallit. No, it’s not that I don’t know what it is, it’s the candy bar created by Hershey’s. When was the last time you ate one of those? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
It was delicious. Although it was sad to think that I nearly overlooked it because I thought it might [...]

Birthday Week

Saturday is my birthday. My husband has taken the opportunity to do a “birthday week” where I’ve been getting a gift each day. But today, I got a gift that he did not expect – my season tickets for the Washington Capitols. They came via UPS, and I could have sworn the delivery guy winked [...]

Too Many Letters, Words

What was the thing where each summer, you had a certain number of books you had to read? Well I have more than filled my quota.
This morning I finally finished book 8 of Charlaine Harris’ southern vampire series about the character Sookie Stackhouse. So, from Sunday to Sunday, I read more than a book a [...]

Popular After Death

 
Over the summer, I read a book by a local NOVA writer, Eric Nuzum, titled “The Dead Travel Fast.” It looked at the pop culture of vampires, but was funnier than a typical book on history. More narrative, but with facts weaved throughout, so you didn’t know you were being taught anything, which I like.
Nuzum [...]
