No, I'm not talking about Kellie Pickler...I'm talking about a new cd that I bought by the band She Wants Revenge that is fabulous!   I unfortunately just missed them when the visited Detroit.  They sound like Bauhaus meets the lead singer of Interpol, with some interesting lyrics.  They make me want to smear on loads of eyeliner, dress in black ( Read more... )

Many of my LJ friends are aware of the detrimental effect that Dominic Monoghan has on technology. One should be very careful when downloading photos or clips of him, as it can cause serious complications for your computer.

That is why it is my duty to warn you all that Ace Young is even *more* dangerous than our Hobbit friend.  In less than one ( Read more... )

When I put on the computer yesterday the screen was all wonky. Nick came home from work and tried to fix it. It now seems we have a problem with our Operating System. WTF? This computer is only 1 year old. I can get internet access, but the screen looks very 1980's and I can't operate anything with Flash ( Read more... )

That peircing cry of despair heard around the USA at 8:27 p.m. Eastern Time?  That was me freaking out cos Ace got voted off American Idol!

I am so bummed.  I really like him and want to rip his shirt off to see his music career blossom.

This brings up a plethora of questions:

Will he be able to get a music career going after the way the media ( Read more... )

Last night's Idol worship has revealed to me an inner truth: I am a born-again suit slut!

It's true.  I'd grown so fond of Ace Young's post-grunge, floppy-haired look that I didn't think it was possible.  But I have a new-found respect for the suit and the chiselled man who was wearing it.  I'd post a picture that would convert you all to the suit ( Read more... )

Just found this on a Boulder Colorado site:

Our community is a paradoxical mix of left-leaning politically-correct environmentalism and yuppiedom. Righteous bicyclists and SUVs. It is home to innumerable environmental and spiritual groups (mostly new age and eastern-oriented; fundamentalist Christians are politely directed to Colorado Springs). For ( Read more... )

Stayed up late drinking vodka and lemonade.  This Easter Bunny is feeling quite tired today.

I've been daydreaming about moving again. We've been home from England for nearly 6 years now. This is the longest I've stayed anywhere in my adult life. I want a new house, a new challenge. We're getting ready to put the house up for sale, presumably to ( Read more... )

I was driving down the road today with the family listening to music. I suddenly was aware of a little voice singing along to the radio in the backseat:

"Wake me up, when September ends."

I think I have lived down the Cake/country music debacle. Aidan knows the words to Green Day!

My kids are obsessed with death. It all started about a month ago when they had a few lessons about the human body in their pre-school science class. They've been talking about brains mostly, and skeletons a bit. Aidan announced at breakfast yesterday, "Mommy, I don't want to eat my brains. That's groase. That's what aliens and monsters do." WTF?

[randyjacksonvoice] Yo yo yo, check it out, Ace didn't get voted off!  Know what I'm sayin'? [/randyjacksonvoice]

Rod Stewart week is next on American Idol.  Let me just take you back in time to August 14, 1984.  I was in love with INXS, but my mom wouldn't let me go to the concert because I was only 14 and it was at a tiny club in downtown Detroit ( Read more... )
