Romie Patterson as Lady Gaga – Monster claw and all
Romie has been dancing around the house for 30 minutes insisting she is actually Lady GaGa. Check her out with her little Monster Claw and head gear.
Overdrive 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot – Sprint
Wow! I’ve recently been assigned to a new project where the customer does not provide the ability to connect to my corporate VPN. As a result, I needed to find a device to connect to my laptop over a cellular network. I figured a mobile WiFi hotspot could kill two birds with one stone so [...]
“Heartbreak Make Me a Dancer” – Sophie Ellis-Bextor
I know “Heartbreak Make Me a Dancer” isn’t a new song, but it’s one I wasn’t familiar with until recently. I’ve actually heard the beats and the melody the Freemasons use in this remix in another recently discovered remix. DJ Billy Waters used the same background music when he remixed “After All” by Delirium. [...]
Futility Relaunch
I know I’ve been gone far too long and I wanted to make a lot of noise when I finally did come back. What better way to make some noise than with a redesigned site. I think the newspaper / magazine layout lends itself much better to my A.D.D. inspired topics. Please be patient – [...]
Almost Home
I’ve been traveling back and forth between Germany and France since the end of July 2009. Most of my time has been spent in Paris, France. In two weeks, I finally get to fly home to NYC to resume my American life. While I have definitely enjoyed my time in Europe, I am ready to [...]
Why Fight It? Shave It!
So I figured I would chance it. Being bored, out of television to watch on Apple TV, and taking one too many pictures of my bald spot finally took their toll. Short video – about a minute and a half. Watch to the end – let me know what you think.
Ricky Martin Comes ‘Out’
Not that he needed to, but Ricky Martin has finally come out of the closet. We all knew the deal. You can read his official statement on his music website once it’s back up. I figure it’s being bombarded by the millions of people who believed he was straight in the first place.
Survivor Season 20 – Episode 6
***THIS ENTRY IS FULL OF SPOILERS. DO NOT READ IT IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED THIS WEEK’S EPISODE.*** It’s taken a couple of episodes, but I think we are finally in the thick of it. Russell is up to his old tricks again, and as usual, is makes for great TV. What makes it about [...]
Survivor Seasons Past: Cook Island Ep. 2
I know my recap of Survivor seasons past are years passed due – but I can’t resist. I have to discuss this game with someone – even if it is an empty blogosphere. I am watching episodes two’s tribal council as I write this. I’m already screaming at the television. The Latino tribe deliberately through [...]
Survivor Seasons Past: Cook Island
So I finished with Survivor: Panama and I’m on to Survivor: Cook Island. First, I was disappointed OK with Aras winning Survivor: Panama. I was glad “Old Navy Boy” Terri didn’t win, and even though I knew Cirie didn’t win, I still found myself rooting for her. Now, on to Cook Island. I forgot that [...]
Survivor – Seasons Past
With this season’s edition of Survivor focusing on Heroes and Villains, I realized how many seasons of Survivor I have missed for one reason or another. I can remember watching most of the first season of Survivor. Richard Hatch made great TV. I then remember watching the premiere of Season 2 of Survivor after the [...]
Struck By Lightning
Yes, you read the title correctly. I wasn’t personally struck, but the airplane I rode in from Boston to Newark en route to Paris was struck by lightning. During our initial decent into Newark, there was a blinding flash and a loud snap outside the left window. That was it, just a bright flash and [...]
European Second Wind
I leave tomorrow morning for my final six weeks in Paris. For those of you that know me, I’m sure you’re aware of my disdain for Paris. It hasn’t been so much a disdain for Paris as it has been the fact that I just haven’t been home since July 2009. I’ve started to feel [...]
Love in a Sandwich
I was making myself a sandwich for lunch today and was nearly in tears before I could put the finishing piece of bread on top. I had an overwhelming memory of the last time my mother made me a sandwich while visiting her in Naples around Christmas of 2008. Deep in her fight with stage [...]
The Amazing Race 16: Oh My Gravy!
*WARNING – the last paragraph states who was eliminated from the race. If you do not want to know, don’t read the last paragraph. After watching episode 3 of The Amazing Race today, I am cheering for cowboy brothers Jet and Cord (hereby dubbed Team Cowboy) to win the race. Hopefully I’m not jinxing them publicly [...]
