Who Knew?

( Ally da Pup and Bloggers and Health and POV and Snark and TV )

You know the cool thing about having conjunctivitis and a bacterial infection simultaneously? Actually not a damn thing, but I’m trying to look on the bright side. So without further ado…
You get to watch made-for-tv movies like “A Woman Scorned: The Betty Broderick Story,” and the sequel, “Betty Broderick is Still Batshit Insane” on Lifetime. [...]

And The Star of New York’s Restaurant Week is…

( Celebrities and Food and New York and POV and TV )

…. Tom Colicchio!

Whose restaurant Craftbar was hands down my favorite dining experience – no contest!
Some of you may also know Mr. Colicchio as the head judge

of the tasty Bravo series, Top Chef.
A little backstory here…
Every 6 months I am a patron of New York’s Restaurant Week. It’s twice a year, usually around July and January. [...]

That’s What I Get For Watching Cable

( Life and Movies and TV )

I can’t believe this still makes me cry after all these years!
I’ve got the empty box of kleenex to prove it though.
And swollen eyes.
Damn it.
And when she says goodbye to her two sons? Buckets!
Hokay I’ll stop now.

My Mother Has An Eldin

( Mom and Movies and POV and TV and The South )

My mother keeps a lovely, well maintained, home. It’s over 25 years old though, and with a house there’s always something. Last year my mother decided to get a new roof. It was more preventive than anything but she wanted it done. She asked around and several of her friends had used the same contractor. [...]

Don’t Make Me Come Talk To You

( New York and POV and Reality TV and Stuff and TV )

Another typical Sunday night at Casa de Lisa B., Chinese food delivery, (Beef with Broccoli and a Spring Roll in case you were wondering,) eaten in front of the TV. Glamorous eh?
Don’t you wish you were me?
Pffffffftttt.
But I do feel the need to issue fair warning, right here and right now:
if Extreme Makeover: [...]

My Civic Duty

( Celebrities and New York and POV and TV )

This past weekend I opened my mail and there it was.
“Important: Jury Summons Enclosed.”
F*ck!
Now what? Do I try and get out of it, or do I go and do my civic duty? As I haven’t participated in jury duty for quite a while, I’m feeling like I need to get my booty down to [...]

My Trendy NY Life

( Bloggers and Doctor's and Friends and Health and Movies and New York and POV and TV )

Once again it’s mid-week and I’m at a loss on what to write about.
Hmmm.
The fact that it was 70 degrees over the weekend, 45 degrees today, 38 degrees tomorrow and that everyone around me is sniffing, hacking and blowing?
How about that a letter from my doctor’s office took 3 weeks to get to me. 3 [...]

Exactly What Kind of Workout Did You Have in Mind?

( Celebrities and Exercise and New York and POV and Sarcasm and TV )

I’m starting to feel like an anthropologist as I watch the mating habits of people at the gym.

Sigh. I go to the gym to work out, not to score a date! I don’t want to be one of those women who put on full make-up to exercise, only to sweat it off 45 minutes later. [...]

Even More Hollywood Translations

( Celebrities and Hollywood and Movies and POV and Sarcasm and TV )

What they say and what they mean:
“I’m thrilled to be performing for your audience on Christmas Day.”
Yea, I love getting up at 4 a.m. for hair and make-up on freaking Christmas to sing for a bunch of losers who will actually be watching morning tv. The things I do for my career. F*ck! My publicist [...]

What If…

( Ally da Pup and Life and Movies and Nostalgia and POV and TV )

Do you ever have those moments? Where you wonder what might have happened if you had made a different choice in your life? Hat tip to Wombat on this post. Anyway, I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately. Must be the time of year. The holidays tend to bring up all sorts of mixed [...]
