  • Whereas last week rocked, this week was rocky – welcome to reality, DWTS

    Week 2 of Dancing With the Stars has pretty high standard to measure up to – last week was amazingly good.  So will the stars be able to handle it this week? Time will tell, my friends.  Time will tell. Roshon and Chelsie dancing the Quickstep. I’m sorry, I still don’t like this guy.  He’s…

  • “All I have to say is ‘Season 14 rocks’!” – Dancing With The Stars hits one out of the ball park in the season premiere!

    Wowsers!  Carrie Ann sure said a mouthful. This was, without a doubt, the best season opener for Dancing With the Stars that I have ever, ever seen!  It was an absolutely amazing night of dancing! Tonight we had the opportunity to meet the new dancers.  The first night is always a little tricky.  We’re establishing our…

  • It’s Almost Mirror Ball Time! (Or, Why DWTS is my drug of choice.)

    ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Season 14 Cast Revealed Photos | ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Season 14 Cast Revealed Pictures – Yahoo! TV. Yes. I admit it. I love ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ Say what you will.  Mock me.  Ridicule me. I stand by my addiction to DWTS.  There are reasons for this addiction. I love…

  • Showtime! Oscar on parade

    Billy is back!  I love Billy’s montage – always witty.  He’s able to poke fun while remaining respectful.  Outstanding.  His jokes are also witty and timely.  Again, poking fun at people and the industry, while maintaining a level of respect.  Take notes here, Ricky Gervais.  This is how it’s done. The song!  The song!!  I…

  • Red Carpet Ruminations

    (Be prepared for stream-of-consciousness writing here…I’m not really thinking this out and I’m not really editing.  Fair warning. Don’t expect good writing or fixed typos.) So they started all of the red carpet stuff earlier than I had expected them to.  Really, how much of it was necessary?  So much was a rehash of what…

  • Preparing for Pre-Oscars

    It’s here!  The Oscars are here! Okay…I still have a few hours to wait, but not many! I look forward to awards season every year.  I’m not sure exactly what it is that draws me to The Golden Globes, The Film Independent Spirit Awards, The SAG Awards…the every other kind of awards…and, ultimately, The Oscars.…

  • GCLS – Day 3

    January 11, 2011 – Orlando, FL This was the final full day of the conference. We started early again, gathering together to listen to the sensational KG MacGregor share her keynote speech with us.  What a spectacular speech!  As always, KG was charming, witty, poignant, and inspirational.  This, my friends, is a class woman.  It’s…

  • GCLS – Day 2

    January 10, 2011 – Orlando, FL The day started early.  First up on the agenda was the presentation by the Special Speaker for the conference – Elizabeth Sims. Now, I have to be honest here…until this conference, I’d not heard of Elizabeth Sims.  I know, I know…bad reader. However, after listening to the presentation –…

  • GCLS – Meet-n-Greet & Day 1

    January 8 and January 9, 2011 – Orlando, FL After months of counting down months, weeks, days, hours and minutes, the annual GCLS conference was finally upon us. Mom and I arrived in Orlando on Wednesday afternoon.  We had an easy check in…that’s always nice.  The suite we have for this leg of our trip…

  • Closer and closer

    Well, today was about driving. We left Indiana at about 5am and started heading southeast.  There were a couple of stops here and there.  Mom wanted to stop to get some music that “will keep us awake.”  Her choice:  The Black Eyed Peas.  🙂 So, we drove through Louisville, Nashville, Chattanooga, Atlanta, and Macon.  (Clearly, there…
