Irrational Pet Peeve of the Week

I’ve been slacking as of late – remember that one time, two weeks ago, when I had something for you every day? Yeah.. hope you didn’t get used to it. Not that I’m going to go all MIA on you or anything. It’s just, I’ve been busy. Plus there’s several other posts I’m working onContinue reading “Irrational Pet Peeve of the Week”

Top 10, take two

To kick off blog birthday week, my suggestions this week are a bit on the self-promotion side. OK, they’re all the way on the self-promotion side. I can’t lie to you guys. This week my blog turns two. Hopefully, unlike I’ve heard it is with kids, this two-year-old won’t have anything remotely close to terrible.Continue reading “Top 10, take two”

In lieu of a suggestion…kind of

So Sunday’s the day I usually give you a suggestion of some sort – read this, see that, don’t waste your time, this is amazing, blah blah blah. Well I don’t really have a suggestion for you tonight. But that doesn’t mean I’ll leave you hangin’. On nights like these, when I don’t have somethingContinue reading “In lieu of a suggestion…kind of”

The end of an era

So my love affair with Johnny Depp – the Depp that starred in such awesomeness as Edward Scissorhands, Benny and Joon, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Blow, Sweeney Todd and the FIRST (only the first) Pirates of the Carribbean – is over. Yep. It was good while it lasted, Johnny,Continue reading “The end of an era”

You need to see this movie, trust me

Rent/buy/borrow/download “The Town.” If you haven’t already, I mean. Not gonna lie, probably the best movie I’ve seen in the last year, at least. It’s like Ocean’s 11, except badass. And in Boston, so the accents are wicked ah-some. Oh and Ben Affleck looks pretty good in it. When I told people I’d seen itContinue reading “You need to see this movie, trust me”

Better than Twilight – which, lets face it, pretty much everything is

You know how I feel about vampires. I’m all for this one: And not so much for this one: But there is a series of books about vampires that I did like, because it wasn’t about some weak girl having to be saved by a vampire all the time and blah blah blah. Don’t getContinue reading “Better than Twilight – which, lets face it, pretty much everything is”

When surfing the Internets

This week’s suggestions are for if you want some ideas for Christmas shopping, or stuff to read in between visiting sites to do your Christmas shopping. They’re either sites I’ve bookmarked or sites suggested to me by friends or family. The shopping ones are cool if you have some one you have no idea whatContinue reading “When surfing the Internets”

Take a look, it’s in a book

A few months ago, I went to Half-Price Books (best bookstore in the world, if you ask me) and spent about $50 buying a huge stack of books. On account of I LOVE TO READ. So this week’s suggestions are authors I think you should check out. It’ll be worth it, I promise. Have IContinue reading “Take a look, it’s in a book”

Tradition (just imagine me saying it like Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof)

In honor of that awesome holiday that’s only four days away, tonight my suggestions are going to revolve around some rules that I abide by and traditions I take part in during and around Thanksgiving. And if you do them too, I guarantee they’ll make the holiday even better. 1. Watch “Planes, Trains and Automobiles”Continue reading “Tradition (just imagine me saying it like Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof)”
