Okay, so I was done for the week, but then I got this e-mail from him and I have to post it because it’s too awesome: “To my wonderful (Girl), I know you’ve been really down about work stuff and everything else. But I want you to know I’m super proud of you for staying [...]

The Dark Side Of Disney
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged childhood, movies, retro, scary things, the 80s on January 30, 2009 | 2 Comments »
It’s Friday afternoon and I’m feeling a little tired so I’m repurposing something I wrote on a blog two years ago about horrifying children’s movies. For some reason, the topic has come up twice recently on blogs I read, so I figured I would throw this little piece into the mix. Happy weekend everybody! It [...]
Damn You, Ovaries!: Baby Otter In A Mailbag
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged animals, cuteness, damn you ovaries! on January 30, 2009 | 2 Comments »
As I spent a lot of my time swearing and telling dirty jokes, I don’t really consider myself to be that schmoopey of a person. However I love otters, so when I saw this this morning, I just kind of felt my little heart squee inside of my chest. It’s a rescued baby otter in a mailbag! [...]
Even Death Doesn’t Stop V.C. Andrews!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged books, craziness, retro, the 80s on January 30, 2009 | 1 Comment »
As I am big on ridiculously retro stuff and of the occasional trashy chick-lit book, when I discovered “The V.C. Andrews Read The Good Trash Movement” a little while ago, I was highly entertained. I’ve never read the books in question, but I saw the movie version of Flowers In The Attic last year and [...]
Things To Give You Nightmares: Prehistoric Shark!

Someone sent me the link to a story about this crazy prehistoric shark today. I am not easily spooked but this thing totally made my skin crawl . . . I think it’s the teeth and the fact that I don’t really understand where its face is. So scary! Update: A clip containing live footage! [...]
Hey, Remember That?: Blossom

I saw online the other day that the 1990s show Blossom was actually being released on DVD. Can I make a confession here, readers? I used to totally love that show and took many style cue from its titular character. Big hats with flowers. Baby doll dresses. Vests. I wore them all, thanks to Mayim [...]
It’s Been A Long Time Since I Played With Paper Dolls . . .

But I kind of love these. I have yet to see the first season of Mad Men, but I enjoyed the second and am very excited to hear show creator Matt Weiner has signed on for a third season. Will they jump ahead two years like last season? Will Don ever stop being a cad? [...]
A Boyfriend By Any Other Name
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged boys, craziness, dating on January 29, 2009 | 2 Comments »
My good Bjork* recently e-mailed me about an interesting situation and I thought since this is a blog, I would put it out there and get audience participation going. After a few nonstarter dating attempts with other dudes, Bjork met a very nice guy at work. He was funny and nice and smart and so they [...]
Well That’s A Bad Idea: Remaking Bonnie and Clyde
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged movies, scary things, well that's a bad idea on January 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Okay so it’s not technically a remake, but it’s a “reimagining” so it’s practically the same thing. According to the buzz from Variety, an indie filmmaker is planning to haul out the old story of everyone’s favourite criminal couple for a new age. The proposed stars of this flick? Hilary Duff . . . and Kevin [...]
Why Clive Owen Should Always Be Middle Aged

The very first movie Boy and I ever saw together was the action flick King Arthur. It’s generally forgettable aside from the fact that it stars Keira Knightley as a war-paint smeared Guinevere and Clive Owen as a scruffy looking Arthur. Anyway, we were talking in the parking lot after the movie and Boy told [...]
