I’ve been busier than usual lately so I haven’t posted much, short of some Instagram moments here and there but I was listening to a podcast this morning and one of the panelists mentioned the theme to Unsolved Mysteries and it reminded me that, while I loved the show, the song itself terrified me! Something … Continue reading »
The GOP presidential candidates met again this week in Arizona for their twentieth debate. TWENTIETH! At this rate they’ll either have a longer run on television than Cheers or M*A*S*H or get their next sub sandwich for free. These debates are becoming ridiculous. The onslaught of far-right rhetoric being spewed over our airwaves is enough to make even Guiliani … Continue reading »
The One Million Moms (a sub-group of another bigoted and intolerant group, the American Family Association) recently attacked JC Penney for hiring Ellen DeGeneres as their spokesperson. I just read some of the nasty, negative comments on the JC Penney Facebook page and had to respond. So, to one particularly hateful senior citizens (Stanley Minor of … Continue reading »
I may have to get cable JUST to watch Game Change when it premiers on HBO (March 10 at 9pm). The trailer has that “you want this, don’t ya” appeal that a red velvet cake does after a three-day fast. And Julianne Moore… what can I say? If she doesn’t at least get to host SNL … Continue reading »

It just struck me that it’s odd we don’t say “in couch” as we do “in bed”. I suppose that’s because we … Continue reading »
Because of the Holiday crunch I’ve been low-key on the site except for some Instagram pics. Until I can get to a full-length post (any day now) I hope this clip from The Muppet Show featuring Miss Piggy and famed dancer Rudolph Nureyev will suffice. While the song is all Christmas, Miss Piggy makes the … Continue reading »
It is hard to imagine that there was TV sixty years ago today, let alone that I Love Lucy, the most beloved sitcom of all time (my opinion but I have little doubt it isn’t true), premiered that long ago. Yes, for those who were there sixty years may not feel so long ago, but when … Continue reading »
Well NYC… here it comes. Hurricane Irene is heading our way and the city is on high alert. There is a mandatory evacuation for all residents living in Zone A, sandbags are being lined up along parts of Staten Island, Queens and Wall Street, and stores are being emptied of paper products and emergency supplies. … Continue reading »
