Glee was there for me during a really hard time last February. The Super Bowl episode and the Valentine’s Day episode a few days later made me smile after the worst week ever. Yes, last season’s “Blame it on the Alcohol” and “A Night of Neglect” episodes were misses, but “Comeback,” “Sexy,” “Original Song,” andContinue reading “I can’t quit you, Glee”

A love letter to Rob and Disneyland
Rob loves Disneyland. I grew up in L.A., so Disneyland always has been as familiar to me as the county fair. We discovered Disney’s California Adventure, the theme park next door, on our first visit to Los Angeles together. Since then, we’ve been to the pair of parks in Anaheim a bunch of times andContinue reading “A love letter to Rob and Disneyland”
Good Joss
I’ve been rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and am nearing the end of Season 5. You know, the one where Buffy dies? (Spoiler) I didn’t actually start at the beginning. For some reason, I only own seasons 3 and 6 on DVD. When we got stationary bikes in our backyard martial arts studio, I thoughtContinue reading “Good Joss”
The girl with the Isis tattoo
The fact that I don’t have a tattoo is something of a point of pride, like not being married. The longer I go without having a tattoo or being married, the prouder I am of both. Jennifer Aniston recently had her dog Norman’s name tattooed on her foot. That’s a tattoo that makes sense toContinue reading “The girl with the Isis tattoo”
Spider-Man’s Balls
Here’s where my blog gets all edgy and PG-13. A few years ago, during a visit to my hometown of Los Angeles, we made a couple of laps around the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It’s one of Rob’s favorite pastimes. A dude in a cheapie Spider-Man outfit was crouched on a trash can, facing theContinue reading “Spider-Man’s Balls”
Donald Trump is a big fat idiot
For the past several episodes, I have been falling asleep as soon as the Celebrity Apprentice candidates get to the boardroom. Clearly, I was onto something, because when I replayed the ending of the most recent episode, I got pissed off enough to blog about it. I’ve found Trump to be intolerable during the previousContinue reading “Donald Trump is a big fat idiot”
Roses and thorns
It was suggested to me that I would feel more energized and motivated throughout the day if I woke up early and exercised. And if I spent less time on the couch, watching TV (gasp). This is true, I noticed it when I worked out in my pajamas to a 6 a.m. German exercise showContinue reading “Roses and thorns”
Reading in the dark
I’m using John Henry (my iPod touch) as a Kindle. It might even be better than a Kindle. I read the Wonderful Wizard of Oz first, because it was free, to see if I could actually read an entire book on the device. Even though the “pages” are small, the “page turning” via a swipeContinue reading “Reading in the dark”
Rise of the Machines
I’ve never been one to name faceless objects, like cars. But I call my TomTom a name because I selected for her a voice that was prenamed Mandy. She talks to me, gives me directions, so when I consult her, I call her by name. Mandy. My new iPod touch doesn’t talk to me, butContinue reading “Rise of the Machines”
The Cure
I was listening to New Moon on the drive to San Diego Thanksgiving Day. Rob was asleep. Traffic was slow. I was bored. Turned it off. We went to see the movie. It was boring. I’m cured. No need to finish listening to New Moon or to get the next two books on CD. IContinue reading “The Cure”
