Blogger's Block

Tweet I have a severe case of blogger’s block. I’m sure if I sat here long enough, something would appear, but would it be of the quality that I would like? Probably not.  I made a vow for August that I would write one blog per day, but then my computer crashed and I was…

RIP DJ AM

Tweet According to the NY Post and TMZ, Adam Goldstein, aka DJ AM, was found dead in his apartment in NYC today. Police found drug paraphernalia and prescription pill bottles near his body.  He was an extremely talented DJ, spinning records at endless Hollywood clubs and parties.  In his younger years he romanced Mandy Moore and was…

Wordless Wednesday: Britney & Russell Ponder the 2009 VMA's

Tweet

Watch Out! Jessica Biel Can Damage Your Computer!

Tweet Look out celebrity stalkers!! McAfee released it’s annual list of “Most Dangerous” Celebs to Search. Who knew that celebs were so dangerous? I am kind of surprised that Britney Spears didn’t make the top 10. She came in at #12. What is also interesting is that Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox are tied for…

I am a Proud Recipient of the J'Adore Tien Blog Award!

Tweet Staci at Just Bloggled gave me the J’Adore Tien Blog Award.  According to Staci, this means “I Love Your Blog” in French.  Just like Staci, I also took Spanish in High School and I’ll just take Kat’s word for it too. Thanks Staci for thinking of me for the award.  This is my very first…

My Life Without Facebook Games

Tweet Before my computer crisis a few weeks ago, I was a loyal Facebook game player.  My games of choice were Yoville, Farmville and Mob Wars.  I dabbled in Parking Wars, Smarty Pants and My City.  I would go onto Facebook with the primary goal of tending to my crops and working in the Yoville…

#LITweetup: An Evening with Some Local Twaddicts

Tweet I attended my second #LITweetup last night.  It was held at Croxley Ales in Farmingdale. It is so nice to be in the company of other twaddicts.  Every person had some sort of wireless device in front of them, whether it be laptop, netbook, Blackberry or iPhone.  There were several videos taken by tweeps…

Smells Like Mariah

Tweet There was a time when I was a fan of Mariah Carey. That was before she got in a jacuzzi tub in a towel and worked out on a stairmaster in heels on MTV’s Cribs. That being said, I came across this picture on People earlier.  It is the promotional shot that Elizabeth Arden released…

Hey VH1, Megan Wants A Millionaire, Not a Murderer!

Tweet According to TMZ.com, “Megan Wants a Millionaire” Canadian contestant Ryan Jenkins is a “person of interest” in the murder of his wife, Playboy model Jasmine Flore.  If you watch the show, he’s the one that whispered “You are gonna love Canadian bacon” to Megan upon meeting her.  This isn’t Jenkins’ first run-in with the…

Wordless Wednesday: A Year Later

"The Truck Spun Three Times."

Tweet I haven’t been able to blog or tweet too much the past 2 days.  Yesterday afternoon, I got a horrible phone call.  It was a paramedic but he was on a cell phone and the phone was breaking up. All I could hear was “This is Bob from the *static* Fire Department.  We have…

Music Monday: The Maccabees

Tweet Normally I don’t make Music Monday recommendations, however, I recieved an e-mail last week from Alex Monaco.  Alex and his friend Hunter Moffitt are from San Diego and started a group called The Maccabees.  Their first single is “First Night of Hanukah”.  Before I listened, I immediately thought of Adam Sandler and thought it…

Unlimited Flights on JetBlue for a Whole Month…only $599!

Tweet Since I am flat broke and have nowhere to go anyway, I thought I would share this with all of my readers who travel on a regular basis.  I have not traveled on an airplane since September of 2001. Seriously, 8 years ago.  I remember the exact month since it was 2 weeks after…

Give it on up to Homelessville!

Tweet I think that Justin Timberlake missed his true calling: comedy.  His classic clips on SNL remain some of my favorites of all time. Who could forget “Dick in a Box” or the “Single Ladies” video? If he ever decides to quit singing, he would for sure have a career in comedy. Here is one…

Ever Heard of a QLOG? Me Either. Until Amy Africa Started One.

Tweet I found this new blog, no wait, QLOG (99% Queries and Quintessentials & 1% Quibblings) by Amy Africa at http://www.amyafrica.com. QLOG is pronounced CLOG, and besides my love of the shoe years ago (they were comfy!), I wish I had thought of this idea myself, but I’m not surprised that someone like Amy beat me…

New Signature…On a Post-It.

Tweet I uploaded a new signature, well, a signature on a Post-It note, to appear at the end of every post.  I love Post-It’s.  They just make the world a better place.  Especially all the different colored ones.  I used to buy them for myself at my last job, I didn’t like the color selection…

Dave Matthews Band Presents: "So Much To Save"

Tweet Dave Matthews Band’s SO MUCH TO SAVE program is back for a second year of educating and motivating fans to recycle, save energy, and reduce their environmental impact.  The band is hooking fans up with the SO MUCH TO SAVE 2009 album, featuring live tracks from Dave Matthews Band, and supporting acts on tour including…

A Laptop Giveaway EVERY DAY!

Tweet I recently came across this sweepstakes, run by Charter.  Although I’m not a PC person, I love FREE stuff…who doesn’t? Charter is following up on the success of their HDTV-A-Day Sweepstakes from last year (which unfortunately I didn’t hear about until now) with a new promotion that is giving away a laptop computer every…

Tweeting with the Stars

Tweet One could say that I am celebrity obsessed. I read all the magazines. I peruse all the gossip sites. I watch all the shows.  This obsession with celebrity began early. There was that time that I was 12 and was in the Caribbean on vacation with my parents and I saw Jason Priestley. If…

Happy Birthday Harry

Tweet Harry’s birthday was yesterday.   He would have been 33.  Since he’s passed away, I’ve made it through Valentine’s Day and July 4th.  Independence day was hard for me since that was always our time of the year to have a vacation alone.  I pretty much curled myself in a ball & didn’t get…

I'm Back! With a New Hard Drive!

Tweet After 5 long days without my Macbook, I am back.  It was absolute torture. In the middle of posting a blog on Friday, August 7th, my screen froze. I thought nothing of it and rebooted the computer, hoping that it had saved a draft of the post. When I turned the computer back on,…
