It's been awhile. I know. Just wanted to share a sketch of Ewan McGregor on Craig Ferguson (it was on repeat last night, and I hadn't seen it the first time around). I love Craig Ferguson's show, by the way. He always cracks me up. Then, getting to see Mr. Ewan McGregor on the show was just an added bonus. After the interview and a commercial break, they came back to do a sketch that had me

So much has been going on lately that I don't know where to begin. Do you want the long or short of it? I'm opting for the short because I don't feel like typing too much tonight.In a nutshell, my job searching continues. I know what I want, but have yet to get it. Basically, I am looking for a teaching position at either the Elementary level (grades K-6) or in Middle School English (grades 7-9).

So that I don't have to hear Tom badgering me anymore, I've decided to post something. I don't really know what I will write about or anything, but it will be an update, nonetheless.Let's see...hmmm...Tom ate 4 slices of pizza last night before Jon finished 2.Tom needs to thread a string through the waistband of his sweatpants, pronto.Jon put on my scarf and then complained that it smelled "all

Last February, I posted a mini-review of a band I went to see, called Downtown Harvest. I was so excited when, in November, the band surfed onto my blog and left me a very nice comment on the post. (Check the comments link on the original post.) So, today, I am looking at DH's website, and realize that they put a link to my blog on their press page! Now I'm even more excited because, well, I

After 17 years, Montel is saying goodbye. Hopefully it doesn't have anything to do with his health (he was diagnosed with MS in 1999). I can't tell you the last time I watched his show, but I remember the days of coming home from high school and tuning in. I especially liked watching when Sylvia Browne was going to be on (even though throughout the more recent years, there has been much

This will be a short update because my wrist is hurting even worse today, which makes it hard to type. I was awake until almost 3 a.m. last night trying to get comfortable enough to sleep. I am one of those people that won't take meds for something unless absolutely necessary. However, I think some Advil may do me good and is worth a try. Perhaps playing Guitar Hero with my sister yesterday was

New year. (Hope you all have a great '08)New month. (It's January!)New stories. (Eventually!)New pictures. (In a bit.)New problems. (See below.)Okay, first let's get the problem out of the way. It's not a major problem, though...just more of an inconvenience. As some of you know, I hurt my wrist last week on Thursday when I tripped going down my basement steps. Stupid slippery slippers. Anyway,

Is anyone else looking forward to this show's return? I know I am. I was a big fan of the original. Erin and I used to watch it on Saturday mornings after, what else, "Saturday Morning Cartoons." That was when Saturday morning television was actually good. Aaah, yes, the good ol' days of Laser, Nitro, Turbo, Ice, and all the other gladiators. Well, I will be tuning in to see how this one compares

Nirvana's Unplugged in New York is finally getting released on DVD after almost 14 years.This performance was recorded for MTV in December 1993, just 4 months before Kurt Cobain's death. I've had the CD since it's release back in November 1994. Every time I've listened to it, though, I've gotten a very sad and eerie feeling, and I'm sure the DVD will do much the same thing. Nevertheless, I'm

No, I'm not talking about massive freak waves...I'm referring to one of the best bands you've never heard of. Well, maybe you have. If you are a Heroes-watcher, you may remember hearing their song, Eyes, in an episode last season. (You can hear the track on their website, here).I saw them in Philly last weekend with my friends, Patrick and Kendra, who also happen to be fans. We saw them at a

First, here's some candy for ya...just take one!---------------------------------------------------------------------------Have you ever heard of Darwin Chamber? Well, that's not his real name; it's a stage name. His real name is Mark Greenfield. DC/MG is well-known for his "environment" albums...you know the ones where you hear the sounds of a particular environment? He's got everything from

So, if you haven't seen this video yet, here's your chance. A model named Sarah Welch fell through a hole in the runway during Fashion Week. Apparently she was a former contestant on The Bachelor. Her name sounds familiar but I'm drawing a blank on remembering her on the show. Anyway, if you watch Heroes, you might recognize the guy who helps her up...yep, that's Jimmy Jean-Louis, The Haitian (

I want to share a great website my sister sent me (thanks, Kel). Xerox is sponsoring the "Let's Say Thanks" program. Basically, people can visit the site and view cards to personalize and send to our troops. All of the card designs were done by kids from across the country. Once you select your design, you choose a pre-written message (or write your own) and then send. It's that simple! It's

Apparently, my family and friends have caught on to the fact that I like to cook and bake. So every once in awhile I receive homemakerish type gifts. For example, for my last birthday, my sister Erin bought me an ice cream maker. This one, to be exact. This summer, I used to it to make a Vanilla Custard Ice Cream...it was delightful...so delightful, in fact, that my cousin told me that I had to

If you happened to see the Ellen DeGeneres Show today, you probably saw her crying over a dog she gave to her hairdresser's family.Here's the scoop in a nutshell...Ellen had adopted this dog, Iggy, from a non-profit agency but realized, even after spending thousands of dollars for the dog to be neutered and trained, that he just had too much energy and was causing problems with her cats.

I was fortunate enough to be at the Phillies game yesterday as they beat the Washington Nationals...and, boy, was it exciting! As we watched the Phillies, the whole park had a collective eye on the scoreboard showing the Marlins/Mets score. Each time the Marlins' score increased or the Mets went out of another inning without scoring, the Phillies fans cheered. The energy was indescribable.

I'm looking forward to some new shows this fall, but there are also quite a few I've been hooked on for awhile. Here's a breakdown of what I'm interested in watching as of the present time.

I hate job hunting. Just when something was looking promising, it turns out I still have to wait...I went on an interview yesterday for a position in the field of Education, although not teaching. Unfortunately the first training day is also the same day I have a screening interview with a very well-known (and well-paid) school district in the area. I can't miss the screening interview because

No, not this one. This blog is here to stay...at least for now. I decided to let go of my second blog "Just Me From Here." It wasn't worth having, as most of my updates come on this site.Exciting news, ain't it?Even more exciting is that I just used "ain't" in that last sentence!
