When I was 18, I read The Exorcist. I then slept with all of the lights on for several nights. I used to read Stephen King and Dean Koontz. Then Twilight...
The biggest surprise for me tonight was that Slash actually strings together entire coherent paragraphs of speech. He was more clearly spoken than Randy and Paula put...
I freely admit that this is the greatest effort I've ever put out to see Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in concert. Driving 2 1/2 hours to Miami for a 2 hour...
Even though I live in the Florida Keys, which are about as far south as you can get in the U.S., the island chain isn't what you'd call the Deep South. Too many of us are...
I could fill up all 15 reasons just by listing the names of friends with whom I danced, drank, laughed and hung out with, but that would be cheating. (Besides, if I...
I know I've been MIA and not posting for awhile. I was away at the RT Bookreviews Magazine booklovers convention in Orlando. For several days I shared excellent,...
All of the social media/ social networking stuff fascinates and annoys me in almost equal measure. The only reason that I put up a MySpace page is because friends hounded...
So it was movie song night on American Idol and not one contestant sang anything from Disney. Wouldn't you love to see how Adam interpreted Bibbity-Bobbity-Boo? What...
The movie industry is fond of taking bestselling books and turning them into movies -- often with less than terrific results. How many times have we seen a book's plot...
Ryan says that the night the contestants sing songs from the years they were born is one of Idol's favorite nights. For me, it's the night I officially feel older than...
I could use an extra one this weekend. On Friday, I had endoscopic surgery on my left hand to relieve (hopefully) problems with carpal tunnel syndrome. For years...
Have you ever noticed that Randy sometimes can't commit to an opinion so he hedges until he hears what Simon says? The thing is (God, I sound like Kara!) that Randy speaks...
For the last few months, I've been in the unenviable position of having to prove that my house is what I say it is. Sounds pretty ridiculous, doesn't it? Welcome to...
I don't know a single person who doesn't deserve to enjoy a completely lazy day now and again. We're such a "do this, go there" society that we often feel guilty for doing...
I'll be the first to admit that sometimes my imagination leads me down strange paths, but I like it that way. Right now, every time I see Danny Gokey on American Idol, I...
By popular demand I mean my friend Jane who told me she came to the blog last week expecting to see a recap. Thanks, Jane. To the rest of you, hearing no objections...
My adorable four-legged furkids, Nat and Pyxi, will be two years old in a few weeks. In the 16 months that we've been a family, we've learned a lot about each other. ...
You know how when you buy the DVD of your favorite movie or television series, there are usually extras included such as Director's commentary or behind the scenes...
You know, sometimes we have opportunities to take the high road and then there are times when you just can't pass up the cheap jokes. Today, courtesy of the brilliant Carl...
Most of you know how much I care about dolphins. Did you know that it's illegal to feed wild dolphins? Feeding them also endangers them for a variety of reasons, and is...
I'm old enough to remember when the television censors only let Elvis be shown from the waist up. The Rolling Stones had to change the lyrics of "Let's Spend the Night...
Regular readers here know that I'm a fan of J.A. Konrath's mystery/thriller series featuring Lt. Jack Daniels. You need to read this series. Really. The author...
