Pop Culture
Ok - I am a pop culture junkie. I love Duran Duran - still, I watch reality tv (not all of them - I do have some standards), and I get excited every time
there is a new muppet movie coming out. My family wonders why I enjoy lowbrow entertainment, but have come to accept it. Anyway - enjoy..
This section contains my thoughts and opinions and speculations about the things I like and don't like about pop culture.

Reasonable Explanations
5/23/08
As you may know, I watch ghost-hunting shows as sort of a guilty pleasure. I have no idea why watching people sit in the dark scaring them selves amuses me, but it does. I have been super busy lately though, so I had a backlog of Ghost Hunters I had recorded but not yet watched on my dvr. Turns out they recorded a really cool evp in Mt Washington. Video clip is below. Write Comment (0 comments) |

Stray Dog
5/17/08
My husband and I have been renting Akira Kurasawa films. Sort of as a retrospective for me (as I have seen them all before) and as a new education for my husband (who is just learning about Kurasawa’s work). The latest film we rented was Stray Dog. The cool thing about renting these films is that while I have seen them, I don’t remember them exactly, so it is cool to rewatch them. Stray Dog is wonderful! WONDERFUL!

The Muse of Capt Jack
4/10/08
OK – so it turns out that the super hot gay actor who plays Capt Jack on the Dr Who and Torchwood BBC series is also a stage actor well versed in musical theater. And, he can sing! He has several albums, the latest is “Another Side.” It is an album of covers of love songs. Really quite sappy. And when I say sappy, I mean Lawrence Welk sappy. Lots of violins, soft sappy vocals and heartfelt lyrics. Despite all that, it is a really good album. Write Comment (1 comments) |

Can’t Dance the Tango to Rio
4/2/08
This is a post about the music on Dancing with the Stars for Monday night. Normally, I love the music. The music director is awesome and the musicians and singers are very talented. However, there were some weird musical moments on Monday and I just need to rant a little. Write Comment (0 comments) |

Pop Culture Round Up
3/29/08
Ok – yeah – I know I need to write something about some of the recent news about the religious issues, but right now, I am feeling really good. I got my book done. I finished my taxes and my hubby and I are taking the boy to Disney tomorrow. So life is good and I want to talk about pop culture. So there. Deal with it. Write Comment (0 comments) |

Update on my Life
3/25/08
Ok – so I have really written anything for my website recently. I have a very good reason. I was putting the finishing touches on my first book – which I am happy to say is now basically finished. I have given it to my mom for review and editing. She and her husband are very good at that sort of thing. And, as soon as I figure out which is my strongest chapter and get it cleaned up a little bit (because lets face it, if you read my posts you know that first drafts need editing). The good news is now I can start thinking about publishing options!

I Love FlippyCat

I love this guy. What an artist – and yeah, I realize he is working in colored dominoes. Still, very, very cool. I love the cat too.

Life on Mars
1/23/08
What an amazing finale for Life on Mars this week! Sam Tyler finally got the girl. Granted, he did have to take a running leap off the top of a building and go back into a coma to get her, but it was nice to see them finally kiss. Write Comment (0 comments) |
