‘Happy Town’ follow up
Image via Wikipedia This isn’t exactly a review because I couldn’t make it through the entire first episode of ‘Happy Town’. A lot of people might not get it, but I found the music derivative of ‘Eastwyck’ and ‘Desperate Housewives’ (two shows not really known for the backing music) and extremely distracting. On those brief…

MIA – Born Free
I watched this video and just said “Wow” when it was finished. Very powerful stuff that is NOT for the weak or easily offended. There is nudity, profanity and lots of violence, but I think watching this video is worth it. M.I.A, Born Free from ROMAIN-GAVRAS on Vimeo. The only problem I have with…

Happy Town?
I’m on the fence about the new ABC show ‘Happy Town’. It appears to be a murder mystery, not a crime of the week cop show like Castle or The Mentalist. The producers wanted to make a truly scary TV show because they think nothing like that has been done so far. However, when someone…

Sometimes I Just Miss My Dog
We currently have two dogs living in our house. Lola is a short-haired pointer mix (with what we aren’t sure but possibly pit bull) who is without a doubt a Mama’s girl. If Patti is in the house, Lola is either right next to her or laying down somewhere keeping a watchful loving eye on…

My Thoughts On St. Patrick’s Day
Image via Wikipedia My thoughts on St. Patrick’s Day are quite simple. If you refer to it as “Amateur Night for Drinking”, then most likely you are an asshole and have a drinking problem.’ Beyond that, I don’t get gifts or the day off, so I don’t care.

Does Gmail’s Spam Filter Still Work?
Image via Wikipedia I have putting off writing this blog post for one reason or another (I’m not really sure to be perfectly honest with you) but something today the question has popped into my head once again: Does Gmail’s spam filter still work? I went from getting one or two spam messages in my…

My Food Allergies
Pork Milk Corn Rye Beans Peas Pepper Brewer’s Yeast Eggs Codfish UPDATE: Tomato. I can’t believe I forgot that one. UPDATE 2: Garlic and lamb should also be on the list. I’m pretty sure there may be at least one more, but I cannot remember it right now. I will update this post if I…

What To Eat After A Clear Liquid Diet?
I am going into the hospital today for an outpatient procedure (Hint: It rhymes with Schmolonoscopy) and therefore have been on a clear liquid diet for the past 24 hours. In fact, the last solid thing I ate was a plate of crab legs on Saturday night (delicious by the way). Since then I have…

Apathy Is Not Negativity
Maybe I’m missing something, but I get the impression that a lot of people don’t realize that apathy is not the same as negativity. There is a big difference between saying “I don’t care about that” and “I don’t like that.” It is very possible to look at a situation or circumstance that makes other…

A Pretty Random Admission
Not that this will make a difference to anyone but me, but I have always preferred ‘Don’t You Want Me Baby’ by The Human League to ‘Tainted Love’ by Soft Cell. And to top it off, I like ‘Promises Promises’ by Naked Eyes more than both of them. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9ol1qLyYwE httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3fCFkl-BFU httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJP2PH8WKaI
