Takin' a Dump with Jaime Lee

Jaime Lee Curtis made a name for herself playing memorable roles in classic films such as Halloween, A Fish Called Wanda, Trading Places, True Lies and many others.  Now in her 50's, she seems content being the spokeswoman for Dannon Activia yogurt.  In these commercials, Jaime plays host to various women who have no problem discussing their bowel movements with a celebrity.  I normally ignore yogurt ads, but a light bulb went off in my head.  These commercials are just begging to be spun-off into a full-fledged, daytime talk show.  We can call it "Takin' a Dump with Jaime Lee". 

Stupid DMV is Giving Me Nothing to Complain About

I'm big on waiting until the last minute to do things that need to get done.  Renewing my driver's license was no exception.  Despite having two months advance notice to submit my paperwork through the mail, I waited until three days past its expiration.  Wearing my warm coat of pessimism, I drove down to my local DMV office.  I had counted on leaving with the same feelings of unpleasantness I would have if I rested a hot iron on my nuts.  So imagine my shock and chagrin when I walked out satisfied with the entire process.  I am rather upset about that.

I Hate Talking on the Phone

I just got the Droid. I like using it for many things. I just hate talking it on. It's not the phone's fault. I hate phone conversations in general.  I have nothing personal against the people with whom I'm speaking. I just happen to get very antsy when I'm on the phone, like I want to be doing something - ANYTHING - else at that very moment.

Five Interesting Interpretations of Great Songs

There are plenty of good songs, but very few of those become great songs. They are the ones that go beyond being just music.  They become part of the eclectic soundtrack to our lives. But therein lies a problem. What happens when we need a little more variety and contributions from the likes of Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus just aren't making the cut? Why not just take those familiar tunes you know and love and listen to them performed in unorthodox - sometimes downright bizarre - ways.

Electric Dreams: The Movie DVD Has Forgotten

D.C. Cab, Girls Just Want To Have Fun, My Bodyguard, Just One of the Guys, Midnight Madness:   That was just five examples of semi-obscure 80's movies that have made the leap to DVD over the years.  But why no love for Electric Dreams?  It's a fun, music-filled, geeky amalgamation of science fiction, technology and romance.  With our current economic climate, rising gas prices, depletion of the ozone layer, and lower standardized test scores, we can't afford NOT to have this classic 80's flick on DVD.
