The Joy of Home Exercise

I was originally supposed to start my winter home workout routine on Monday of this week. It’s now Thursday. I don’t know what to say except that exercising terrifies me. My mother had given me an exercise DVD in October. It wasn’t opened when she handed it to me. I stared at it quietly  for [...]

Blonde Ambitions

The student loan people sent me a letter earlier this week confirming I have been accepted into their new program where they pay the interest and balance for the next six months. It’s a nice break after the expensive payment plan I had previously been tied into. My overall balance isn’t staggering anymore. So that’s [...]

Janet Jackson

This weekend I picked up a copy of Janet Jackson’s greatest hits compilation Number Ones. It’s the first collection of her hits to really do her career justice.
Janet Jackson in public appearances, and interviews seems nothing like the sexually charged persona she evokes while performing onstage. I had the pleasure of seeing her live in [...]

George Clooney

In the mid 80’s it seemed like George Clooney was a guest on every television show that I watched (The Golden Girls, Rosanne and The Facts of Life). I was surprised in the 90’s when he landed a lead role in the hospital drama ER (never seen it). His role on that show brought him [...]

Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman is a gorgeous, and classy actress. I think she’s extremely gifted.
In 1989 I saw Dead Calm. The sexy thriller introduced me to a beautiful young Australian actress named Nicole Kidman. Her character started off emotionally fragile, before she becomes a victim, and then evolved into a feisty heroine. I thought she was amazing [...]

The Twilight Saga: New Moon

Yesterday was the premier of Twilight: New Moon. It’s based on my favorite of the four Stephanie Meyer novels about a young woman who falls in love with a vampire. I realize this series isn’t geared for my generation, but like Romeo and Juliet any good love story is timeless. I am a huge fan [...]

Food for Thought

One of the fondest memories I have of my mother when I was a kid was watching her bake bread. Mom was a country girl. She knew how to bake scramble and fry like the best of them. Aside from bread she also made her own cookies, loaves, muffins, pies, & donuts. It was a [...]

Paranoia & Insecurity

The last eight months of harassment have had way more of a negative effect on me then I had previously admitted. I spoke with someone after ranting on my blog this morning about feeling violated by the police. As it turns out, I wouldn’t of heard clicking if my phone had actually been bugged. There [...]

Taupe & Music

Yesterday I spent the afternoon working on one of my many winter projects. I am repainting my apartment. I had decided white walls were boring after two years. I want some color around me. But unfortunately my place is small, so too much color could easily shrink its appearance to the size of a grocery [...]
