What Fox News thinks of Generation X

Has anyone seen this program on Fox News called "Red Eye"? It's abysmal and really insulting, not only to people from ages 28 - 38 - because this is clearly how Fox News imagines most of us think and ...

Going white y'all

Wintergreen Topical Analgesic

Otherwise known as Ben Gay, unless you're cheap like me and using some generic brand. I love this shit. Seth hates it. When I pull a muscle and tell him I'm going to use some that night, he says, "Gre...

Bad dreams

Often when my life feels out of control or too busy (which for a control freak like me doesn't take much), I have nightmares with a recurring theme: ZOMBIES. I adore zombie movies, mostly because they...

One of my first BIG crushes

This was pre-Duran Duran, but you can see the start of the pattern. I thought Adam Ant was the coolest thing I had ever seen or heard, for that matter. Of course, I liked Men At Work around that time,...

Fashion Victim or Pioneer?

Today while driving home, I saw a young woman standing on the corner wearing black pumps, leggings and shorts. Now I'm stlil resistant to the legging trend, at least for myself, but I can accept it on...

Saturday (in the park?)

Getting ready for a wedding (I almost typed weeding), listening to OMD and while looking for directions online, made my usual virtual pitstop to one of the best sites around, cuteoverload.com, and fou...
