I'm hoping my friends who are also older than 35 will chime in on this post! Because this is the thing: when you're young, and you aren't up on the latest hippest new thing, it can be sort of charming. You can choose to be a luddite and people might find it either tiresome or cute. But once you're over a certain age, you just look like you're ( Read more... )

Took an unannounced internet break for ten days or so (not that anyone noticed, so I'm glad I didn't announce it or now I'd look like quite the egotist!) I'm catching up on a few things, so don't be surprised to get some comments on older entries.

A few weeks ago I made the post on being the bestest little media consumer ever which is a topic I've ( Read more... )

Let's see if I can make it that far!

1. The more I look at Ryan's new hair, the more I love it.

Oh, and he also likes to pull rabbits out of men’s bottoms rather than a lady’s mary." [Holy ( Read more... )

Who doesn't love Count Chocula, Boo-Berry, and Frankenberry, especially when they're played by great actors of our time?

I'm still looking to make an icon of Frankenberry, Jesus and Charles Nelson Reilly (old, obscure Daily Show joke) but I'll take this in the meantime!

This is my favorite thing in the universe right now:

We have Bill Kristol to blame for Sarah Palin, apparently. Rove wanted Romney; McCain wanted Lieberman but no one else did.

Idolator doesn't think much of the proposed cover of D.Cook's record and I have to say, neither do I. It makes his head look like an ICBM.

Justin wants you to put something else in the box. Ryan played this on E!News last ( Read more... )

I went to the market this morning, before it got too hot, and I shared the elevator to the Target with a "team member" who was bringing breakfast from McD's to her fellow "team members." When I was a teen, my ultimate McD's breakfast was a hash brown and a raspberry danish, and even though McD's no longer has the awesome danishes they did in the ( Read more... )
