True Blood Ep2: You Smell Like Dinner

True Blood Season 4, Episode 2 Recap

Blogging while I watch...late. Yeah I know...

The episode opens up with Jason Stackhouse in a sweaty heap, writhing against the constraints of the rope tying his arms and legs to a stranger’s bed. Pretty much business as usual for Jason but, oh look, the inbred kids from Hotshot are there and one of them, Timbo, is licking his head wound. How nice…

Ooh Look What I Found

Only in America...

Be Yourself. Happy Independence Day!

Today’s the day for barbeque and fireworks. But while you’re out in the sun or schmoozing at a poolside with cocktails, be yourself; don’t eat watermelon like a poser. Follow THIS guy’s hilarious and possibly offensive advice, readers. Happy 4^th of July.

Manhattan in Mourning

NYC, what can I say that hasn’t already been written about, sung about? I could hyperbole myself to death just attempting to convey just one grain of this wily pastiche of grit, dirt, glass, and brick, rich and poor. So I’ll just break into song: “NYC, what is it about you? You’re big. You’re tough. You’re rough!”

Last weekend I discovered that my aunt, who I’ve never actually met but if I had, would have loved inexplicably, had died of cancer. There I was, feet still died with grapes from the vineyard, learning that I was to fly to New York, post haste.

I’ve been over it and around it, but I’ve never actually been to Manhattan. But now was my chance to finally go! I was in mourning but… really how long can someone stay in mourning when they’re surrounded by the city lights, sipping coffee at Bryant Park, and eating Pizza on Broadway?

My Summah Jam

Say it with me guys; Summah. Summer, or as my favorite comedian Howard Kremer would call it, summah, is here. "You've gotta douse yourself in it. You've gotta get lousy with summah." Kremer says the most important thing you need to have a summah is a summah gum. I've chosen Extra mint chocolate chip as my summah gum, and now I have my summah jam: Nadia Oh’s, M.I.A.-esq, ode to Kate Middleton. Listen to “Taking Over the Dance Floor” above, chew your summah gum, and immerse yourself fully in summah.



Nadia Oh is one GLORIOUS robot

You think I know better than to love Nadia Oh? I play violin, drink red wine, and croon out show tunes in the shower. Should I know better?

I first discovered Nadia Oh, Space Cowboy’s android, on So You Think You Can Dance, like everyone else. Her song, “Hot like Wow” was playing and I couldn’t pay attention to any of the dancers. I’ve never heard anything like it. The most stereotypical Arabic beats were going fast and hard while this mechanical voice droned over the track.
