What is it?!? I can't see it cuz I don't have Windows. (Not bawling cuz I don't have Windows, mind you ... that pleases me greatly. Just don't appreciate being excluded by stinkin' Microsoft.)

Brooks announced Thursday afternoon that he'll start a series of solo acoustic concerts in the 1,500-seat Encore Theater at the Wynn casino and resort in Las Vegas as part of a multimillion-dollar deal with Steve Wynn, the hotel's billionaire developer. B-b-but I am nowhere near Las Vegas!!! He could still sell out arenas.... Still. that is one big EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! for my chunky songwriting, guitar-strumming, smooth-talking...

Woot! Chris Pine is a hottie, bayou . And he picks up on the nuances of Kirk beautifully. I thought all the characters really paid homage to the original performances by the original cast while still making the parts their own. I especially loved the guys who played Bones, Kirk and of course, Spock. That guy was amazing. Actually, I loved all the cast. Nk , I've seen previews of Pirate Radio and it looked really interesting. I'm...

So I have a new obsession. Ever heard of Jack's Mannequin? Well, in 2005 their lead singer Andrew McMahon (basically he is the band from what I can tell) was diagnosed with the same leukemia my nephew has. A year of chemo and a stem cell transplant later, he's in remission and released a new CD late last year. He's also started a charitable foundation geared toward raising money for blood cancer research, and specifically draw...

Harry Potter vs. HWMNBN (He Who Must ....eh, you know who) Rap Battle. EPIC! I can't wait to see the THBP. I hear it's fantastic.

Went to a movie this weekend (which I never do, hate theaters) and saw a sweet little film called Pirate Radio . Loved the movie, loved the cast and loved all the music in it! criddlesing .. I think the last time I was 125 lbs I was 14.

Well I saw HP earlier this week and while I thought it was awesome...because HP is awesome, I was disappointed in the ending. I was ready for more because the ending of HBP is just so BAM! I think they left out some major points in the movie for the ending compared to the book. Harry ended up looking like a bit of a schmuck to me. It did inspire me to go back and read HBP again though.

Guh, JMayer is good no matter the venue, bayoubevo . He's really doesn't disappoint in concert. He's not only super talented, but he's also super witty and entertaining (kinda sounds familiar ).

shady , my darling ... you don't like the genre? What genre? I guess...fantasy? I could never get into fantasy stuff, like vampires, magical potions, etc. If I read the first book and you guys make me love it, why I oughtta......

Between yard sales and paperback sales at the library, I've collected quite a collection of books, and I don't know which on to start with!
