I love stationery, always have. Initially, I began with just cards – birthday cards, the just because funny Hallmark cards, Christmas cards. Then I began a love affair with stationery sets – pretty matching paper and envelopes, most often with some kind of floral motif.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePyRrb2-fzs I’ve heard this song (Apologize by Timbaland) dozens of times but for some reason hearing it last week on the radio got it stuck in my head. I disagree with the artist – I don’t think it is ever too late to apologize. You may not restore the relationship but saying I’m sorry (and…
My list of shipboard romances is relatively small. There is the mediocre Moriah’s Mutiny from Elizabeth Bevarly. The much better Whirlwind from Cathy Hake and the lovely Imagine from Jill Barnett. Christina Skye’s Going Overboard is campy but fun. Then there is Rachel Gibson’s Lola Carlyle Reveals All and Burnfrom Linda Howard. I love the…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LFDWjzaQvU I’m a sucker for Irving Berlin Musicals. Easter Parade stars Judy Garland and Fred Astaire as they sing and dance to 17 terrific Irving Berlin tunes in a story that is as sugary sweet as Easter candy. When professional dancer Don Hewes (Astaire) is ditched by his stage partner Nadine (Ann Miller) one day…
George Michael’s proved to us with I Want Your Sex that a come on song isn’t exactly a love song. Some of those songs can be incredibly fun like Candy Man by Christina Aguilera or Come On, Eileen by Dexy’s Midnight Runners. It’s pretty clear what these folks are celebrating and the information is given…

Born from the ashes of a United States devastated by war and the after effects of global warming, Panem is made up of twelve districts surrounding the heart of the government, known as The Capital. In lethal vengeance for a…

Maybe it’s the brogue. Or the green eyes so many of them seem to have. Perhaps it is the passionate, artistic nature. The Irish, after all, are credited with being great poets and musicians. It could be the magic – the Island is equated with all manner of faeries and myths. Perhaps it is their…
One of my childhood memories is the eating of corned beef, potatoes and cabbage on St. Patrick’s Day. My mother would boil them all together, which left them (in my opinion) a bit tough. The monochromatic flavor also had me wondering what the heck the Irish were thinking to make this their traditional saint’s day…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzA_qmJkmLY I grew up watching re-runs of the iconic The Monkees TV show. I started in the late 70’s, when they were on after school on our local network. This was back before the days of cable, when people typically received about ten stations (if they were lucky). Kids were willing to watch old shows…
