If I lived in St. Louis

I would be buying tickets for this.

I’m not familiar with the theatre company but man I love The Breakfast Club! And the friggin song that I always refer to as “The Breakfast Club song,” played below!

Don’t You Forget About Me by Simple Minds

Worst trip ever

If you’ve been following my twitter feed you saw that this trip to Chicago sucked. The actual time spent in Chicago, that was nice, but the travel part… not so much. A 4 hour direct flight on Thursday turned into a 19 hour travel day with a massive layover in Austin. Thanks to the American [...]

Dr. Pepper Rules

From CNN:
PLANO, Texas, March 26 /PRNewswire/ — Tired of a world in which Americans idolize wannabe singers and musicals about high schoolers pass as rock ‘n roll music, Dr Pepper is encouraging (ok, begging) Axl Rose to finally release his 17-year-in-the-making belabored masterpiece, Chinese Democracy, in 2008.
In an unprecedented show of solidarity with Axl, everyone [...]

Happy Hump Day – 80’s Blondie Flashback

A little something to get you over the hump. Who doesn’t love Blondie? Communists, that’s who.

So this guy I worked with in St. Louis is this crazy talented musician. And he started a band called “Dropkick the Robot.” They’re really good and now have an album available to download for the low, low price of $4.99.

Dan’s got a couple of videos up on the [...]

How we spent our Easter Sunday

The weather was gorgeous (sorry mid-westerners) so we took advantage of it this weekend. I am, in fact, a little sunburned from yesterday’s 5 mile walk about.

Today though, after a yummy brunch, we took advantage of Stanford University’s Art Museum and Rodin Sculpture garden. I’ve uploaded a slew of pictures to my flickr account. [...]

*tears of laughter*

I *heart* Jon Stewart and Larry Wilmore. I can’t get it to embed in this post so go here and watch. We just about lost it at the Ghostbusters bit. Probably not safe for work.

The power of Oprah compels you!

A Chicago woman is running something of a social experiment – to live her live based on the principles espoused by Oprah. She has a daily blog detailing her “progress” and it’s a pretty fun read. Here’s a sample from today’s post:
Ever since I went to the Oprah boutique in Chicago, I’ve been a bit [...]

I’ve been meaning to mention

Is it just me or is this season of LOST crazy good?! I can’t wait to see where it’s all going – maybe they actually DO have a plan?! The only downside of not working is that I can’t go to work tomorrow and have an “OHMYGODDIDYOUSEELOSTLASTNIGHT” fest as usual.

If you’re not watching it, [...]
