I haven’t been a regular radio listener for several years. But now that I’m back in the burbs and driving everywhere, I listen quite a bit and I have this question…when did all DJs start trying to be comedians? They’re so unfunny and inappropriate it’s painful, right? I want them to just stick to introducing the next song and promoting local hair removal clinics...
I went to see Rachel Getting Married yesterday. I was confused by Anne Hathaway’s doe eyes and thought I was going to see Bride Wars. What a pleasant surprise! I think I’d like a lot more movies if my expectations were at the Bride Wars level when I entered the theatre.
Deep thoughts at Costco
This weekend, I discovered what exactly my own personal hell would be…I’m waiting for the mini-quiche samples to come out of the toaster oven at Costco. But, I don’t want to be obvious about the fact that I’m stalking frozen mini-appetizers, so I stand in front of the freezer, pretending I’m considering purchasing the Cheesecake Factory multi-slice pack for about 15...
Self Esteem Crusher of the Day
While running yesterday, I was passed by a middle schooler who was at least six inches shorter than I am and was leisurely talking on her cell phone while kicking my butt. Also, my ipod randomly shuffled to an acapella version of Build Me Up Buttercup which just added to the misery of the moment.
I always read the About the Cast section of the playbill when I go to see a show. I love seeing which of the actors were characters on Law & Order and then looking at their pictures and trying to remember that episode. Normally, I do…which I probably shouldn’t be as proud of as I am.
Anyway, this weekend I went to see a show and the playbill contained the most amazing actor...
Do you ever have so much leftover moisturizer on your hands that you can’t turn the bathroom doorknob and you think you may be trapped in there and then you wonder how long you could survive on toothpaste alone? ME TOO!
Ok, TLC, you’ve won me back. On today’s Rock the Reception, the story-line involved one military deployment to Iraq, one woman fighting breast cancer, and MC Hammer. How can I hate on that?
Up until this week, my daily schedule was to wake up and from 8:30 to 9:00 eat shredded wheat, drink coffee, and watch TLC’s A Dating Story. Then I’d start my day. But on Monday, TLC changed their programming and now have some awful show about brides and grooms who want to wow their wedding guests by performing stupid choreographed numbers for their first dance. The dancing is...
This week I stopped reading a book 100 pages in. I’ve always been a “just finish the thing” kind of reader when I’m reading something I don’t like, but this time I decided to put it down and it feels amazingly liberating. Like after a wedding when you take off an uncomfortable strapless dress that didn’t really fit because it was from six pounds ago and then...
I spent the better part of a minute trying to get into the gym with my library card this morning. That is all.
For the past few days I’ve been feeling especially old…and not in a wise, experienced, says things like “time heals all wounds” kind of way. In a wrinkled, smells like mothballs, back achey kind of way. I think it started because I ran out of under-eye concealer and had to go without for three days while a new tube came from Sephora.com. Needless to say, it was a trying...
