No one puts Baby in a corner

September 14th, 2009 · No Comments · Popology

Ah Patrick Swayze.  How many times did I watch that scene in  Dirty Dancing to get a glimpse of inner thigh?  A whole hell of a lot.
But nothing beats the ending.

Introducing your 2030 vice presidential candidate

April 27th, 2009 · No Comments · Popology

I’ve been lax in posting but will be remedying that.  By basically catching up on news that is old and moving on already.  But no matter. There is no shelf life on the internet.
Will I talk about torture? Swine flu?  Obama’s 100 days?  No.
Last week, 51 young, pretty (in that hairsprayed, fake tan way) and [...]

Drive-by blogging: I need a hero

April 10th, 2009 · No Comments · Popology

In an effort to regain my geek cred, I offer up to you my own personal superhero — the woman I would be if I could:

Want to make up your own personal superhero?  Go for it …
And if yours ends up looking this, then call me.  Because I adore men whose superhero abilities include cooking.

Give Bob his due, man

March 18th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Popology, What's in my playlist

For anyone who might have been watching American Idol last night and heard Kris Allen sing and now erroneously believes that Garth Brooks is the composer/writer/creator of “To Make You Feel My Love,” I offer this as refutation:

The reason it didn’t sound like a country song, Kara, is because it isn’t. Jeez. And [...]

Same old story, different network

March 17th, 2009 · No Comments · Popology

We need to make more movies out of Old Testament stories.  I mean, come on, the story of Ruth is crying out, crying out! for some serious HBO attention.  And 1 Kings through 2 Kings? There’s some stuff in there that could be like 300 — but with Jews.
So I was mildly interested in the [...]

To a Levi, dying young

March 16th, 2009 · No Comments · Politics, Popology

I almost feel sorry for Levi Johnston. Almost.
Poor kid impregnated some girl and oops, then he has to clean himself up, get a haircut and a shave, take down his MySpace page and put a ring on it.
But oh, six months and an election later, everything has changed.

5 things that make me feel old

March 10th, 2009 · 2 Comments · 5 things, Popology

Because I’m still feeling a little old and grouchy.

The Jonas Brothers. Really, this is what young tween girls are going for?  They aren’t the Hanson of today.  They aren’t even the New Kids on the Block of today.  They are just … inexplicable.
Watching the New Kids on the Block perform on Jimmy Kimmel. Was it [...]

5 good things about this year’s Oscars (and one bad)

February 23rd, 2009 · No Comments · Popology

1. Best Dressed: Jeez, everyone. Where is Cher and her outrageous outfits when you need them?  All the ladies looked classy and nice (except for Goldie Hawn who needs to stop dressing like a 25-year-old living in 1988) and while maybe I wasn’t super-fond of Reese’s weird straps, who could disagree with Alica Keyes’  and [...]

He never promised a revolution

You must admit that when  Bob Dylan sells out, he does it so delightfully.

Oscar sings a sad song

January 26th, 2009 · No Comments · Popology, What's in my playlist

Here’s my general gripe — again — about the Oscar rules for Best Song.  It has to be a song written for the movie it plays in.
So it isn’t about using the movie that uses a song in the best way; it’s not about how a song can in an instant sum up an entire [...]
