Okay, I have talked about the greatness that is Dr. Pepper with real sugar. It tastes better, I drink less of it in one sitting. Sadly, it is in limited edition. But, and this is the hard part, it doesn't mean it is expensive. In fact, one store is making it really hard not to hoard the stuff, and I am failing at it. Badly ( Read more... )

I have to admit, I'm really not a folk music fan. There are artists who I would really dig whose folk approach doesn't work for me (my apologies to Ani Difranco fans, but yea).

So, if you told me there was a eight minute acoustic song by a folk-influenced singer I would like, I wouldn't be believe you.

But, I was wrong:

In fact, I really ( Read more... )

So, today was a rough day, but it was not as bad as it could have been. You never know with car repair ( Read more... )

Okay, I have to admit, I really am not up on the latest music. However, as I do visit the skating rink, I do hear quite a bit of it. It does tend to blend together for me ( Read more... )

IFC is showing this, no commericals. Been a while since I've seen it, and it is funny to see all the people in the cast you have seen in other shows and movies ( Read more... )

The heat is sapping my will to live. I have a hard time wanting to do anything. It will hopefully cool off this weekend, but right now, it's too warm.

I feel, no fear, I am just treading water, waiting for something, not trying to something different. Just meh. Waiting for a catalyst, but for now, I sit and wait.

I never would have guessed it, but AMC has managed to make not one, but two really great shows. I have to say, Breaking Bad is giving Mad Men a run for its money. I just hope that both the writers and producers know that it is best to not let things go on past their course. Make a solid statement and get out ( Read more... )

A good hobby can keep you sane, or drive you nuts. The trick is to keep your eye on the ball and stay focused on what matters ( Read more... )

I am not one for fine dining. Really, there are very few places I want to go that have that limited menu and refined plates that are the mark of fine dining. For one, wine and beer are wasted on me. The bitter aspects of each completely overwhelm the other flavors that most people can pick up on. No coffee for me. Nothing mocha. Those sweet coffee ( Read more... )

Ah, insomnia. So, I am watching a PBS special. It's Tosca at the Met (2009). High definition really brings out the sets (amazing work, really). But, (and this is a big one), I really do not enjoy most opera. Operatic coloratura just drives me nuts. It's not just the classic soprano version, all ranges bother me. Of course Puccini has some of it. ( Read more... )
