We Miss you Already Estelle Getty

Rest in peace, my dear friend Estelle Getty. Although I never knew you personally, you made me and countless others feel like we had. Your quick wit, delivery and timing have made me laugh out loud too many times to count. I never grow old of watching you again and again in The Golden Girls reruns....

It's only my opinion

Ever since I began watching How I Met Your Mother, I've made a rule to automatically love anything Neil Patrick Harris is a part of because I think he's a frakkin' comic genius. His lead role as the title character in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is no exception. While I'll admit it gets off to a...

Catchin' Summertime Flu Bugs

Life has been kind of crappy lately. I am just now getting over some weird flu-virus-blech, although at least I didn't get it until after my birthday. My biggest activities since last weekend included sleep, being bored out of my achy skull, and drinking my weight in Sierra Mist and ginger ale. Here...

Something Funky this way comes

Keeping it short, new concept that can be filed under, 'I have no idea but I thought it'd be cool'. At least four more characters in the works, along with some interesting ideas, that's about it.

Psychic Kids

I've recently began tuning in to watch this show called Psychic Kids" on A&E. The commericals did a good enough job of piquing my interests and I gave in. While it's a nice way to be entertained for an hour, some things about it just bother me. What would you do if your child told you that they hear...

Corky Thatcher's Rap Video

Wifeswap

Somewhat entertaining show where wives from two families swap places for two weeks. Usually they pick two wives who are about as opposite from eachother as possible and see how they cope with a family that is used to doing things a certain way. I always thought it would be interesting if there was a...

Things I Don't Understand: I Love the New Millennium

Why does VH1 feel that it is necessary to have the "I Love the Millennium" show on now? Newsflash to VH1: this decade isn't even OVER. I mean, I could understand the motive if I were typing this blog, say, ten or even five years from now, but it's hard to feel nostalgic about 2007. I guess VH1 is...

HBO's Homage to Carlin

HBO Pays Tribute to George Carlin Early Monday morning when I saw the headline about George Carlin's death in my news feed, I was saddened and confused. I hadn't read or watched or listened to any news yet, but it wasn't even in every feed, so maybe it could be some stupid Hollywood rumor gone...

Famewhore Alert: Michael Lohan

I decided a while back to curtail my celebrity snark. Really, even if you live in Bumfrack, Texas, pop. 81, talking about them, even snarking, only feeds the monster, especially the rabid beast called Famewhore. Like if we all just ignore them, maybe they'll go away. Maybe if the paparazzi realized...

Here is what I said to a friend of mine about the new Hulk movie: I went into the theater on Sunday with very low expectations and liked many things about the movie. Visually it was fairly well done. The extended chase scene over rooftops in Brazil was fun to watch. As for the main character, there...

Pop Culture Commentary

I love Pop Culture. I don't know what it is, maybe it taps in to my deep down desire to be "part of the group," if you'll forgive a half-assed reference to Maslow's Hierarchy. This particular installment is going to cover a few things I've noticed after being out of the loop for over a year. Admin...

Pop Culture Pops

Happy Father's Day to all the papas! I didn't get a chance to write a list of my favorite TV dads for Father's Day like I did for the moms. Lately poor time management is my greatest enemy. Kind of bummed because I had ideas mulling for it. Eh, doesn't matter, missed the "deadline." But, besides...

Motley's Cruise to So Bad It's Good

I'm almost finished with Nikki Sixx's Heroin Diaries (the tale of Sixx's twisted trip to Rock Bottom, weighed down by baggage stuffed with drugs and depression--that he is still around to tell this story and help others by sharing is amazing). Last night, I read an entry where he mentioned filming a...

ACalm,InTheSwirlOfHistory

For the 1sttime in the History of this country, WeThePeople, specifically ThePeople of the Democratic persuasion have offered up, as their Party’s choice to have a Go at the WhiteHouse, someone other than a middle to old aged AngloSaxonMan. That makes my Soul smile, that makes my petrified...

Ink on your fingers

Let’s talk about paper. Print media, to be specific. It’s not dead yet, not in my house. Not even ailing. I love magazines, even though lordy lordy they do pile up. If it weren’t for that, and the fact that I can’t afford it, I’d get at least twice as many as I do. These days when so much...

An Open Letter to Joaquin Phoenix

Dear Joaquin Phoenix, I watched We Own the Night yesterday, and it wasn't a bad movie (I think it was rather unbelievable on some parts but since Patrick always complains that I can't watch a movie without saying something is unrealistic, I will let that quibble pass). And while I was watching it, I...

QotD: XYZPDQ

Are there any people you would not tell if they had food in their teeth or if their zipper were down? Why or why not? Submitted by Charms. Good question. I understand the part about noticing food in someone's teeth, but why would my eyes be on someone's crotch? Nonetheless, my answer is yes, there...

i am a child of the '80s

Natasha sent me an email earlier saying she wanted to post a video on the site and could I think of anything "ironically awesome"? This came to mind immediately: Seriously y'all, this video was considered totally dope when I was 8 years old. p.s. I always thought it was weird that a band named...
