[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uelHwf8o7_U&feature=search I’ve had “Love The Way You Lie” by Eminem and Rhianna stuck in my head lately. I’m not a fan of Eminem’s rapping style, but Rhianna’s part is compelling. The thing is… the song’s lyrics are awful. Not awful as in poorly written, but awful in its references to domestic violence. “If she ever…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d97O5zOBwcw I was re-watching Never Been Kissed, which is one of my favourite romantic comedies. I really like Drew Barrymore (she’s so darn friendly and relatable), and John C. Reilly always brings a smile to my face, and man oh man, is Michael Vartan yummy. But there was one thing running through my head that…
And no, even though I am an avid fan of Elizabeth Peters’ Amelia Peabody mysteries, I’m not talking about whiskey and soda. For me, during this unbelievably hot and humid summer, my refreshing beverage of choice has been iced tea (or do you say ice tea?). While I still begin my days with a mug…
The Teen Choice Awards aired on Monday night. As its name suggests, the winners are chosen by the viewers rather than a mysterious “Academy” or other exclusive group of critics, executives, and showbiz insiders. Not surprisingly, Twilight won a lot of awards. As has been the case in every other viewer-voted awards show in the…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9POCgSRVvf0 What I liked: Alan Rickman as the caterpillar. Anne Hathaway as the White Queen. What I loved: Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen. Hilarious. What I wasn’t nuts about: Everything else. It was okay. It wasn’t bad. But except for some highlights, it was pretty meh. Especially the ending. – Jean AAR
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQChahZAmZQ First, a disclaimer. This is not my cat Princess. Princess is not a frisky little kitty, but an aging, but elegant, 13+ yr old. But at her advanced age, she’s currently acting just like this little kitty. Until a few months ago, I’d never lived in a place that had door stops. To be…
One thing about New Zealand is that for a relatively large piece of land, they have a small population. Picture the UK minus Ireland, spread 4 million people around it, elongate it like a fish, and you have New Zealand. Which means the people have a highly developed sense of communication and travel. One way…
I dream. A lot. And vividly. Sometimes it’s hard to remember what’s a dream and what’s real — I’ll have a vague memory of some incident, or something that someone said, that looking back could very easily be a dream I had, or something that actually happened. It’s sort of confusing. I don’t put a…
It’s the time of the year again that shopping malls and boutiques become a danger zone. I avoid them as much as I can. I keep telling myself: Yes, many lovely pieces of clothing are dramatically reduced, but I’ve bought enough clothes this summer, thankyouverymuch. If I buy any more, I won’t be able to…
I’m a huge fan of almost every summer fruit, and have been enjoying a great many of them this summer. A few weeks back Lynn posted about her experiences with blackberries. I don’t usually eat blackberries plain, but have mixed them with strawberries and raspberries this summer and found them to be delightful. However, the…
