Why is it that, in the parlance of our times, when an otherwise-hetero man has a great liking/admiration/fondness for an attractive male celebrity they call it a “Man Crush”….but when an otherwise-hetero woman feels the same for a female celebrity they call it a “Girl Crush”? WTF is up with that? I personally am not […]

I think I neglected to mention that my FiL finally was sent home from the hospital on Friday. Sweet E have mercy, I thought it would never end! I don’t know what to do without the sound of our phones ringing 27 times a day.

Last week I was seized with an urge to waste my time and energy on making some new header images for the ol’ blogstead. You may have noticed them already, if not, refresh your browser and see if you can spot the newbies! (Or for the lazy/impatient, I’ve made up a cheat sheet.)

I’ve already blown four days on Dark Knight/Heath related gibber-gabber, why not make it a full week? I was looking for something else entirely on YouTube, but I came across this. Misery loves company, enjoy…

Isn’t it rich? Isn’t it rare? Me by myself on the ground, you in mid-air. Send in the clowns, there ought to be clowns… Don’t bother, they’re here! So, anyway. Back to the Bat-babble, All-Joker Edition. • It was very strange knowing that this was ‘Heath’s Last Role’ when it really didn’t seem like […]

I’m guessing that you all expect some big long-winded review of TDK out of me. Well, I really don’t think that I can do it. There is TOO much to talk about; the post would be so long that not a one of ya’d read it; I could literally talk about that movie all week. […]

At long last, today’s the day. Can’t believe that my most-anticipated film of the year is a Bat-pic. But it’s all due to one man: Hope I don’t star blubbering the minute Heath appears on screen and 1. embarrass myself and 2. miss anything in the movie. But we have plans to see it twice […]

Cousin R’s wedding date is fast approaching! Her color scheme is black and white, so a long time ago I (rather foolishly) volunteered to make some decorated Oreos for the reception. (I say foolishly because every time in the past that I’ve tried to work with melting white chocolate has ended in tears.) But a […]

If you read my mid-summer Celebrity Crush update, you’ll recall that poor Josh Brolin had taken a nosedive thanks to my glimpse of a photo of him made up to look like George W. for Oliver Stone’s “W” movie. Well, just like the stock market, these sudden shifts tend to self-correct over time. I’m happy […]

Since I don’t have time to post any real content today, here’s another song that I picked up from watching Gossip Girl. It’s ‘Someone Great’, by a band called LCD Soundsystem. I’m SO in love with this song, you can probably guess why — because it sounds like some previously-undiscovered 1980′s techno-pop that an archaeologist […]

Time to admit: BW downloaded the entire first season of Gossip Girl, and I’ve been watching it compulsively. But I’m not ashamed! Though it’s hardly what I’d call “good” or “well-written”, it’s very watchable and compared to everything else on TV these days it’s like Shakespeare. I actually love soaps, but NBC canceled all my […]

I love it when science validates my personal preferences, don’t you? Women prefer men with stubble for love, sex and marriage Stubble is the way to win a woman’s heart, a study has shown. Researchers found that women are more attracted to men with stubbly chins than those with clean-shaven faces or full beards. Women […]

the relaxing weekend I’d had in mind, but it wasn’t THAT bad. Got some stuff done, bought some books. Did not get out to see Wall-E after all. I still kind of want to but I am being kept at bay by the terror of a sproggen-filled theater. And I have an odd psychological […]

My mom is on her way down to spend the weekend, so I’ll be off to shop and whatever for the next few days. BW’s brother will be coming up to hopefully give BW some slack on the hospital-visiting duties; I hope we can get in some relaxing and try to see Wall-E this weekend. […]

Somebody gets paid to “discover” these “findings”?? Sheesh. The most recent comprehensive study on the emotional state of those with kids shows us that the term “bundle of joy” may not be the most accurate way to describe our offspring. “Parents experience lower levels of emotional well-being, less frequent positive emotions and more frequent negative […]
