The Bachelorette: The Justin Debacle

So last night we got treated to the requisite “men tell all” episode, and not much was revealed that we didn’t already know.  Here are a few highlights: Justin is a jerk (more on this later in the post.) Kasey tried to deflect the crazy.  Actually, I don’t think he is really nuts.  I...

A Potpourri of Distractions: Things To Do During Lock Down

So, yesterday I received a call from my Parents Day Out program informing me that my daughter was ill (strep throat) and that I needed to come get her.  Parents reading this will understand what devastating news this was for me.  Sure, you feel terrible that your child is sick, but I daresay I...

5 Single Malts Worth Trying

Here are 5 single malts that are worth trying if for no other reason than the fact that (1) they kick-ass, and (2) Scotch is cooler than wine.

GoodShit is Fred Lapides: postroad at hotmail.com.  Fred, as it turns out, isn’t your typical blogger.  He posted a story of mine on his website a few days ago, and the traffic jumped up considerably.  Naturally, I wrote to thank him, and...

Spartacus: Blood and Sand. Wangs

The Five Required Cliches For A Successful Lifetime Movie

Indefensible Crap We Love:  V

By Sara Henke Hi, my name is Sara and I am a Pop Culture addict.  (Hi, Sara).  From my earliest memories I have loved all things Pop.  At 4 years old I traded in my Muppet Show records and Disney soundtrack albums for my hippie mother’s box of hand-me-down 45s.  I remember being 5...

Indefensible crap we love:  She’s got the look

    If you’re like me (and thank your lucky stars if your not), the end of the regular television season delivers a mixed bag of emotions. On one hand, there is a huge letdown, much like you might experience after you finally take a trip you have planned for quite some time. It’s...
