I am very lucky to be surrounded by so many wonderfully talented people. Two of them took and gone and went and teamed up and created a group they call Murder Ballads. A bit macabre, but thankfully that genre is not the be-all and end-all of their musical catalogue.

Their first album, “Pretty in Scarlet,” was funded by an Indiegogo campaign, and ( Read more... )

If you don't wear high heels, you can skip this one. If you DO wear high heels, OMG, you *have* to try these ( Read more... )

Yesterday I mentioned the cheeses I got - today I will tell you how they were, in my less-than-gustatorily-educated opinion.

We tackled them alphabetically, so that we could remember which was which on the plate. In between each, there were sesame water crackers, an excellent palate cleanser. I know that they mentioned this on Gilmore Girls, but ( Read more... )

Went to go see Nunsense with eruberueth and the moms last week at Allenberry, so that was fun. :) The women who played the nuns were also doing things before the play, all in character: Sister Mary Robert was checking tickets and Sister Mary Hubert was selling tickets for a "50/50" raffle -- Hubert was totally adorable and had these huge glasses (no lenses ( Read more... )

We all know about Dr. Scholl's gel insoles. (If not, let me know and I'll give you the official schpiel.) But as a BzzAgent, I got a free sample to try so that I would Bzz about it, and I also have coupons for $5.00 off a pair of their Massaging Gel Insoles ( Read more... )

I want to get a set of speakers for my iPod. Ideally it would also have a clock, but I can get one of those separately if need be. Any recommendations??

In return for your ideas, I give you: Some Reviews of Stuff I've Tried Recently.

1. Tanqueray Rangpur. ZOMG, that's a tasty gin. Imagine regular Tanqueray with a bit of limey zing - yeah. Is ( Read more... )

I know, I haven't done one of these in a while. My latest BzzAgent kit included samples for got2b's Smooth Operator Luster Lotion. So of course I tried it, expecting very little because I'm not a big fan of hair care products because I don't like goopy/sticky/stiff hair, no matter how frizz-less it looks.
