January in Review

Every year I marvel at how January seems to span on together.  Every other month seems to slip by quickly and quietly, but January…January is a lifetime.
This particular January was no different…in fact, it seemed to last even longer.  I feel as though I have lived a full year in just the span of this [...]

Pure Randomness

Things are a tad crazy in my house at the moment…therefore I haven’t had much time to blog.  So instead of a proper blog entry I will spit off a bunch of crazy randomness off the top of my head.
*I like Amy Winehouse, but I can’t justify buying her albums because I know that money [...]

Heads or Tails: Who Would You Like To Meet?

This week’s edition of Heads or Tails asks, “who would you like to meet?”
There are quite a few people that I’d like to meet in this lifetime.  One the celebrity side, I’d love to meet one of the members of Silverchair (kind of obvious hehe).  I would love to meet Bono, as I find him [...]

Rats!

Yesterday the Diva returned home from her part time job at a local eatery.  She mentioned that she had run into a family friend of ours who works in NYC.
This family friend began telling my sister about a car problem he had when he was in the city.  His car had been working fine, however, [...]

A Pissy End (literally!)

This past week has not been a very good one.  Between the never ending struggles with my laptop, the cancellation of the VMF yesterday and the news that Military Chick was putting her dog down today I was feeling pretty bummed out.  However, I figured that the worst was over and I went into work [...]

The Day the Music Died

In November 2007, the city of Vineland, NJ announced plans to host a three day music festival.  Rumored to headline this event was rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers.  While most of the city embraced the idea-financial gain and a good morale booster being the biggest selling points-there was a very small percentage that opposed [...]

“Me Talk Pretty One Day” by David Sedaris

This is the first book by David Sedaris that I have read…and I’m not quite sure what to think of it to be honest.  For awhile now I’ve heard people rave about Sedaris and how funny his books were…but truthfully I didn’t find this particular one to be too amusing.  I struggled with the first [...]

“Nineteen Minutes” by Jodi Picoult

I haven’t read all of Jodi Picoult’s books, but I have been impressed with the ones that I have read.  It’s funny though, Picoult’s writing alone doesn’t impress me.  Often times I find that the events of the majority of her stories take on a predictable path and many of her secondary characters are very [...]

Fox

I’ve never liked the Fox Network. At first I thought that it was because one of my college professors tainted it by calling it the Fascist News Network numerous times during the semester (the class was sociology on war and terrorism by the way), and while he was a nice guy…he was egotistical and [...]

Dear Dell, you suck

I still haven’t managed to get the sound working on my laptop.  It seems that everything else works fine, but the sound just won’t work.  I’ve tried downloading the correct drives.  No.  I’ve tried installing the sound disk the laptop came with.  Nope.  It just does not want to work.  And now the only sound [...]
