Who Doesn’t Love Getting Mail? Now, Get Free Stuff Too

Time for some seriously fabulous Snail Mail, ladies. (And gentlemen, if you’re paying attention, thinking ahead and efficiently knocking things off a holiday to-buy-your-lady list). Everyone loves to open up your mailbox and find something other than a bill. In fact, although most of us use email, texting and social media to do almost all … Continue reading

Tuesday’s Try This | When Good Food Hits Your Eye

…and nose, and hands and tummy. …And actually, when it slips off the crust and hits the table – or your shirt – because it’s so darn fresh out of the brick oven… That’s how I have to start things off as I talk about two of my new favorite places in town. Yes, they’re … Continue reading

What We’re Eating | The season’s first stew

Beef Stew, that is. And one of my childhood favorites. Although I hated the smell that would wake me up in the morning from the crock pot, I do love the way it goes down on a chilly night. I’ve never tried to make it before, and I didn’t really have a recipe, so this effort … Continue reading

What We’re Watching | The good, the bad and the ABC comedies

As a pretty new TV watcher – meaning, someone who keeps up with live TV, knows what shows are new every season and knows what shows have cancelled – this was only the second season where I had a lineup of shows ready to fill up space and frustrate me on my DVR. There’s the new … Continue reading

Movie Monday | Zach Braff Makes Garden State Again

I wish I was still sitting in The Tate Center theatre, watching (and crying) at the first time I saw Garden State. I wish I still had those goosebumps over just how good the soundtrack was, and how much everyone on campus revealed in talking about it – for months. Unfortunately (only in some ways), I’m way … Continue reading

Something to Drool Over | New Photos on Site

Hello Readers… Who, at this point I could probably call strangers. I’ve been lax. Real lax. And for that, I apologize. Although, I am sure most of you managed to find something to entertain you these last few months, with Game of Thrones yearly showing, The Bachelor franchise steamrolling through ABC and now, with our … Continue reading

Movie Monday | And You Thought Your Breakup Was Bad…

Get over it. Because it was nothing compared to the “real” story behind Sleeping Beauty. In Disney’s Maleficent, starring the born-for-it Angelina Jolie, we find out what made her so evil in the animated stories of past. We get her side of the story – what some would say was the real story – and it’s really, … Continue reading

Tuesday’s Trend Setters | The Met Ball’s Wins and Uglies

There are some things we need to talk about. Like, why the heck Lupita Nyong’o is even allowed on a red carpet after the downhill (mud)slide that has been her awards season? Yeah, yeah, she’s such a talented actress for getting 12 Years a Slave, right after graduation and she dropped my jaw with that … Continue reading

A Dissenting Taste on Transcendence… Still wondering why the rum’s gone

Well, guys, I don’t claim to be an end-all to your pop culture tastes and preferences. And, to show that, I wanted to offer up a (very) well-penned perspective on the movie that hit theaters last Friday. Here’s to healthy debates and a myriad, melting pot of opinions that exist (among friends) in the world today… … Continue reading

Movie Monday | Transcending Talent… all of it.

Gah.   Is anyone planning to see this? It’s not everyday you get to watch Johnny Depp slip into a character that doesn’t require eyeliner (even though I love that character). I mean, he just isn’t doing much else these days.     So, when this film hit box offices this weekend, curiosity and years … Continue reading
