Regular visitors to Dispensing Happiness probably know that, of all the holidays afforded to us here in the United States, Halloween is my absolute favorite. Perhaps it all traces back to those early days, when I was running around my grandparent's house in my Wonder Woman Underoos, and loving every...
Hi, I'm Stephanie!! (flat out rip from "Welcome to the Hellmouth", in case you're ???) And welcome to another Blog Party, with full-on Buffy-ness. Because it's a Buffy Bash!! Some might think it silly to build a cocktail party around a late-nineties mid-summer replacement show on a fledgling network...
I was tagged for this nice little meme by Pille. I feel that I'm fairly personal here, so you probably already know a lot about me - but well, there's always some tidbits that I haven't talked much about. So let's give it a try! 1. I have a huge amount of makeup. And I mean a HUGE amount. Like 300...
The week of reckoning has arrived: the TV networks spend the next few days announcing their schedules for next season. NBC was the first up to the plate and the biggest news is actually a few days old: Friday Night Lights! Is back! And moving to Fridays at 10 …yeah, not so excited about that part....
.:What I'm Watching:. Annie Hall. [from netflix: Listen closely and you can actually hear the stress hormones pumping through the bodies of the characters in Annie Hall. Woody Allen's real, funny ode to love among twitchy city dwellers scooped up Oscars for Best Picture, Best Direction, Best Actress...
Brilynn, of Jumbo Empanadas, had the results of a very cute 'meme' posted on her blog, and I just felt like joining in. In this one, one blogger 'Interviews' another. Brilynn provided the following questions for me: 1- What 3 people, alive or dead, real or fictional would you like to have over to...
Today was a shopping day. We went to Golden Apple for comics and then to Best Buy to use a coupon that we had. I got Baron Munchausen as my movie. I can't wait to have Belle over to watch it now. Some good Eric Idle goes a long way. As for the comic I got the new Lords of Avalon comic, #5. I have it...
I’ve recently become aware of and been reading Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga. As a high school English teacher, a pop culture addict, and a fan of all things vampire, it’s almost inexcusable that I’ve only become aware of these novels in the past few months. Maybe I’ve been living under...
Hi gang. I'm so far behind here it's not even funny. It's 80 degrees in my house and I'm sitting next to the biggest heat generator that's not my oven, the franken-puter. The networks held their annual upfronts this week, which is when they trot out the new fall shows and try to get advertisers to...
Every now and then I forget that my life is happening. I forget that this isn't a dream, a holding pattern. This...this moment, this day, this hug, this experience, this is my life. This is happening right now. This is it. The other night I was reading K a bedtime story (Harold and the Purple...
I officially hate FOX!! For the 4th time, they have cancelled a show that I absolutely love. This time, after 3 episodes - quoting on the site that they will play the "final 2 episodes in the summer". GREAT! So out of 9 episodes, I get to see 5? Thanks guys! You may as well cut it off now and save...
While I sit here with my hands over my ears rocking back and forth muttering to myself in complete denial about what happened in the Doctor Who cliffhanger, I thought I'd at least do an update of other stuff. I don't know how I'm going to make it to Saturday's 65 minute finale. Sci-Fi announced...
Today we went to Collectormania in Milton Keynes (UK). For those of you that don't know, Collectormania is a bi-annual event held in a shopping centre where a load of geeks go and hang out, buy stuff they don't need, and leer at their favourite celebrity attendee. Great fun!! Straight onto the...

I swore I wouldn't do this. I'm not into making arbitrary promises to either myself or others because most of the time I don't keep them and that just hurts my credibility. If you think about it, nobody is into arbitrary promises; why do you think institutions like marriage, abstinence, D.A.R.E.,...
So, yeah, I've been hitting The Sims pretty hard the past couple of weeks. As expected. That's okay, I'm enjoying the HELL out of this summer vacation, even if I am still getting up at 7 am to go to work every day. Some thoughts.... I have finally (accidentally) seen some promo information for The...
So after having a fabulous week, I crashed and spent two horrible days in bed. I even slept until 5:30 yesterday afternoon. So I took the new meds last night to make sure I'd sleep and I woke up today with joint aches like I'm crippled or something. Again, horrible. Not even Dr. Horrible, just...
I guess I don't watch CBS. I realized that when looking at the Fall 2007schedule. I'm not a fan of taped-in-front-of-a-live-audience sitcoms. And I got over CSI back before Caruso's return to catchphrase television via its spinoff. I don't watch reality shows, although I did catch CBS' RockStar both...
Memorial day means many things. The obvious first one, memorialness. The second one, a three day weekend and to me, and possibly me alone, the pool I go to opens. The thing is unlike the rest of my life I'm not giddy at the thought of it opening. I'm not excited. I'm actually quite dreading....
well, dang! i forgot to do my lil' blog stint last night. so today is so beautiful out. i'm sitting by my open window in my apartment which is on the second floor of a big old house. the breeze blows in on occassion and it's delicious. I am going to put out some job aps today, as i need a bit more...
