Tweet Reviews

9 Mar

Sorry I’m not blogging much this week…I’m busy planning for my trip to Disney World!  I’m betting I will have post-overload due to that next week.

I am embarking on a new experiment, however, called Tweet Reviews.  I am guessing I am not the first person to think of this, since twitter.com/tweetreviews was already taken, but with all the books I’ve been reading, television shows and movies I’ve been watching, and albums I’ve been checking out, I thought it might be neat to have a page where I could review media in a nice little ADD package of 140 characters or less.

I’m hoping when I find my stride, this will become a weekly segment here.  Follow me @tweetreviews22!

Steampunk Jewelry

16 Feb

I often think about how I’d love to change my name, move to a totally different and random town, buy a house, and decorate it entirely in Steampunk. That is one thing I have Wiki’d and that left me on the computer for hours!  If you’ve ever been to Cake Wrecks, check out their pretty Steampunk cakes.  So. Cool.

I even started a blog solely about Steampunk once, but I never finished it. It’s in my drafts. All of the photos are still hanging out on my computer, though.

So how cool is, it that, even though I never published that, one of my blog followers has his own Steampunk blog and makes Steampunk jewelry? I thought it was so cool that I would share!



And be sure to check out his Etsy Shop!

It’s American Idol Time Again!

12 Jan


2009 American Music Awards - Show

So, who’s excited about the new season of American Idol? I’m a little bit jaded since the space between last season’s finale and now have given our MOST! TALENTED! EVER! group of American Idols from last season ample time to fade into obscurity. All of ‘em. Even that Lambert guy doesn’t make the news much. Oh, what’s that you say? He simulated fellatio on a national music awards program? Oh, okay. But has anyone heard any of his music? Because I watched that video, and all I heard was “Eeeeeeyaaahhhhaaaaaahhheeeeeeeeeehhh!!!!!!!!” and other subsequent phrasings. In fact, I have not heard a single song by one of Season 8’s Idols.

So, it’s another year, another winner. But is it going to matter? Won’t I be more excited about the return of Glee? Wasn’t Anoop Desai my waiter the other night? (What was he thinking, anyway? An Indian-American Idol? He had to have known it was going to come down to three white guys, therefore meaning he could only be a novelty. America! Melting Pot! Huh!)

But, there’s still fun in watching.  The auditions!  The sob stories! The getting to know someone we didn’t know before, and growing to love/hate them! And oh, am I forgetting something?  Oh yes.

ELLEN!!

So, I will have to change up my writing style on Idol Mania this year. Last year recapping went like this:

Simon:  Absolutely horrific. I would rather put my unborn baby’s hand in a blender than have to reduce myself to this rubbish.

Randy:  Yeeeaah, dawg!  You worked it OUT! Little pitchy, though.

Kara: no one cares about Kara’s opinion. NEXT!

Paula:  You were like a adijf daidfjaodfjidfj adfodfjdofj……………(drool)…………kadfjlakfjd………..ladkfjlakjf……???……adkfladkfja…….really nice.

Now, I will have to try to put actual syllables together and make sense of them as being some sort of critique.  Will Ellen become a cartoon character like the rest of them have? Will she have little catchphrases that she will use time and time again?  Well, I guess that is just the fun in finding out! Season Nine: I can’t wait to see what you have in store for me.  My blogging fingers are ready. And hopefully, you will be here to agree with me or curse my opinion, but you will be reading*!

Jebbica, OUT!
