Rainy Wednesday Dribs & Drabs

( POV and Sarcasm and TV and Travel )

Wow, airline travel has become a pain in the backside. In addition to checking the weather for my upcoming destination, I also checked the TSA website to see if I could bring a soda, a sandwich and my iPod aboard. Frankly I am still not 100% sure.

Why I Should Have Slept Late

( POV and Sarcasm and Shopping and TV )

I have become one of those people.
I swore it would never happen, and yet somehow they weaseled their way in.
Is this the beginning of something that will never end???
I was always so adamant against them.
But I got lured into their evil web.
I bought this after watching an early morning infomercial.
I know how infomercials are, I [...]

Yadda, Yadda, Yadda

( Celebrities and Movies and POV and Reality TV and Showbiz and TV and Work )

Let’s see, what shall I write about? Hilary Clinton running for president? The effects of global warming on the atmosphere? Why microwave popcorn that is low fat, low sodium, with no trans fats tastes like corrugated cardboard?
Not so much.
Hmmmm.
Well, I’m insanely busy at work so I won’t be around as much. I’ll miss you guys [...]

Things I Learned in Film School

( Celebrities and Movies and Nostalgia and POV and Showbiz and TV and Theater and Work )

Fade up to reveal:
Lisa B. sitting in a huge auditorium, surrounded by a bunch of jaded, know-it-all college freshmen her peers.
In my very first film class on my very first day, the professor said, “if you ever want to watch a movie for pure enjoyment again, LEAVE NOW.”
We laughed but boy was he was right. [...]

The Heat is On

( Heartthrobs and Love and POV and TV )

You turn a corner, you are ready for the next challenge, and then it happens. Just like that.
When you didn’t expect it. And suddenly, there he is.
Oh baby, you rock my world, you fire me up.
Yowza.
Say hello to my new hunk o’ burning love. BOTH OF THEM.

It’s Burning Daylight, Baby

( Dad and Movies and Nostalgia and POV and Showbiz and TV and Work )

Once again I’m revisiting a post from last summer. It’s freaking hot outside, so sue me. Enjoy!
I LOVE Westerns. I have ever since I was a little girl. I used to watch them with my father for hours on end. My favorites are “Red River,” “The Searchers,” and “The Cowboys.” Needless to say I [...]

It’s Just So REAL, Dude

( Blogs and Guilty Pleasures and Life and POV and Reality TV and Sarcasm and TV )

Something strange is happening in my world. It’s just all kinds of wrong. And I don’t know how to make it stop.
In the last few weeks, I have watched EVER SINGLE ONE of these shows. Repeatedly.
Project Runway
My Life on the D-List
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy
The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency
Rock Star: Supernova
And I REALLY hate [...]

It’s a Family Affair

( Mom and Nostalgia and POV and TV and The South and Time and Travel )

Mom is doing a lot of work on her house. It’s almost 25 years old and you have to keep your property up, you know? Anyway, the construction guys were up in the attic and found a nest of squirrels who had eaten through some wiring. *&$%@!!! We HATE squirrels around here. I don’t care how cute those suckers are, they [...]

How’s It Hanging… er… Going Sir?

( POV and Showbiz and TV and Work )

Back in my L.A. days, I worked an ongoing TV show for several years. The same production crew worked together for the duration of the show minus a few cool folks and a couple of asshats. Most of us were there from the beginning and stayed until it went off the air. As a result [...]

I Got Soup! And I Got Yelled At!

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

I’m a big “Seinfeld” fan.

One of my all time favorite episodes was the “Soup Nazi.” When the show was still running, I came to New York on vacation. I picked up a local magazine and they were promoting their Best Of issue. They listed The Real Life Soup Nazi Place, as the best soup in [...]
