Steve Jobs died yesterday, in case you missed it. I wasn't going to write about him, but I feel a bit compelled, actually. His stuff is all over our house.By now, you've read some amazing quotes, or have heard a speech or two... the man can wax on life experience in a way that resonates deeply, if … [Read more...]
Zebra – John Butler Trio
I'm just coming off a lazy weekend with family, and I feel like I need to e-a-s-e myself into this week... reggae often does the trick. Buy nature, it's slow-ish and groovy, and there's nothing rushed about it. Feels like my weekend.With reggae, you gotta drop that plucky beat on the one and the … [Read more...]
Something About You
My sister and I were discussing Level 42 the other night. (This is what sisters when they visit each other, over wine and fancy nibbles late into the night, you know.) Anyway, we contemplated one of their most popular songs, Something About You, which is one I listen to with a vague, nostalgic … [Read more...]
Pockets.
As I headed out for drinks with a friend one evening last week, I grabbed a coat I'd not worn for some time... it was pouring with rain, and it was suddenly chilly, even for September.I threw it over my shoulders as I ran down the stairs (late, late...) and searched for the sash to tie it up. My … [Read more...]
Remedy
This morning my son walked to school with our neighbours, and a short time later, I took his sister to preschool for her first morning this year.And then I returned home to some silence I haven't enjoyed since June. Silence really is golden, yo.But, this time of year - the return of the school … [Read more...]
The Celeb Rap….
I love how the new thing to make you hot with the masses is to pull out a rap. The latest is Anne Hathaway, who threw down an awesome one on Conan the other night. I want on that show to do my karaoke of Sing For The Moment by Eminem (give me a couple beers and I'll do it for you - hand … [Read more...]
Amy Just Said No, No, No….
Rachel over at Cocktails and Curtain Calls touched on a very big question that I've been thinking about all weekend...Why do we care about Amy Winehouse giving in to her demons more than we seem to care about the 90 teenagers who didn't ask to die in Norway on Friday? To say I'm shocked at the media … [Read more...]
Your Song
A few months ago, I came home late after some sort of wayward evening with a couple of my foxes, and drunkenly caught the last few minutes of Saturday Night Live. My love for that show has waxed and waned over the years for many reasons, but I often still enjoy the programme.I recently tried to … [Read more...]
The Non-Live Blogging Experience…MMVAs; Miss USA; Emmys
Sunday night was a goldmine on TV. I really should have been live blogging. There were the Much Music Video Awards; Daytime Emmy Awards AND the Miss USA Pageant (what a great Father's Day ...US Open and then Miss USA). It hit me though....If I'm going to celeb blog AND better yet LIVE … [Read more...]
I Guess I’ll Take Up Drinking Tea At 4 PM Now…
Well, by now everyone knows that Oprah Winfrey is ending her daytime television show after a twenty-five year run, this afternoon. It's something I've watched at 4 PM, pretty much every day for close to fifteen years. I'm distressed, to say the very least. There are people out there who are not … [Read more...]
