Does MTV provide condoms for reality show castmates? If so, why don’t they ever seem to get used? If no, why not??? Last night I watched the four billionth season of RW/RR Challenge, which is called The Challenge: Rivals this year. Anyway, at one point early in the show, Tyler (one of the few gay guys … Continue reading »
Another poem found among my grandparent’s possessions. This one comes courtesy of an old, old volume of The Line Book. The inner cover explains that it’s “a compilation of the choicest verse and prose published the ‘Line o’ Type or Two’ column of the Chicago Tribune”. This particular volume of excerpts from Richard Henry Little’s … Continue reading »
I thought that my grandma wrote this poem for my papa, but I have recently been informed that I was incorrect. The poem was actually written by a woman named Elise Maclay, and published in a book called Green Winter: Celebrations of Old Age. A lovely reader named Shauna let me know that I didn’t … Continue reading »
Chris Hill, aka chill07 on deviantART, made these incredible images a while back. Since I’m apparently posting on all things Disney today, I thought this was the perfect chance to share them. Some are spot on, while others I might have switched around a bit. You can decide for yourself how it all works out… … Continue reading »
In honor of the recent drama re Disney and the term “Pooh-sized”, I’m posting my 2 fave snarky Disney images. Both make me smile and in fact make some good points. Hopefully they bring a smile to your face like they did for me!
You miss so much when you only check blogs on weekdays! I did my Monday morning perusal of my fave blogs today, and came across a lovely exchange relating to the phrase “Pooh-sized”. I was, before today, unaware of this term. I do not like it at all, mainly because that doesn’t call to mind … Continue reading »
I wrote the story myself. It’s about a girl who lost her reputation and never missed it. – Mae West
I was looking at the search terms that have led to my blog, and (not surprisingly) many related to relationships with overweight women. This is good, because that’s what I was writing about in many entries. SEO success! But then I looked at the report in more detail, and started to think about what people … Continue reading »
These images come compliments of one of my two brilliant, talented, and gorgeous younger sisters. Usually when I look into Mimi’s eyes I see my own, but this version is pretty incredible as well. Check back for an artistic contribution from my other sister Kat, soon to come! And perhaps guest spots by other talented … Continue reading »
Hot in Cleveland makes me oh-so-happy, mainly because of Betty White. I mean, she’s Betty White, of course it’s funny. But basically every other person on that show is just also hilarious, from main characters to minor guest spots. This was my fave scene from the season premiere: Melane: We’re lost. Let’s ask that old … Continue reading »
I will preface this by saying that, so far, I’ve been enjoying Love Bites on NBC each Thursday. Each week has offered more and more actors that I already love, and the characters are easy to connect with. I didn’t love this scene, though: Chloe: Why don’t you let yourself have some fun for once? … Continue reading »
When they say “WARNING: HIGH CAFFEINE”, they mean it. I promise. That’s why I still up at 3:21 am, tapping my feet and typing at an alarming speed. I’m not new to this coffee thing, either. On an early morning when I need some get up and go, a triple or quadruple shot beverage from … Continue reading »
These are all screenshots from The Silhouettes, who danced and performed on America’s Got Talent. I’m not super into that show but my mom LOVES it, and she shares clips with me each week. This group really impressed us both, and got me to thinking about how beautiful the images could be as wall art. … Continue reading »
Tears fall from my eyes Like bullets into concrete skies Blessed from above, but raining down to meet Chalk outlines of my heart on a precarious street Your scent – waters cool and hemp so high Lingers eternally in my mind And reminds me of the one moment in time When I thought that you … Continue reading »
Cheating requires closed doors Windows shut tight, curtains closed for the night Padded footsteps across the floor Cheating requires bare walls No portrait reminders of the ties that bind us Empty hotels and shadowed halls Cheating requires hot showers Scrub away the memories, set up the apologies Perhaps deliver flowers? Cheating requires a cross to … Continue reading »
A year after high school graduation, an old friend emailed me with his perspective on who I might have become. I saved it, because some parts were just beautiful. Others make no sense, but that’s pretty much par for the course with some friends, you know? i wonder what you are like at this point … Continue reading »
Considering that I love fun stuff found on the interwebs, all things Kevin Smith, and anything with a say no to meth message…this pleases me greatly. It also brings back some awesome memories of watching cartoon Clerks with some of my high school BFFs.
Once upon a time in college, I had an A to Z guide for movies available to rent. It became a habit to go through and highlight the movies I had seen, mark the movies I wanted to see, etc. It was during one of these perusals that I found the description of a little … Continue reading »
One day about a year ago, a coworker commented that it was “the slowest Monday that ever was”. I’m pretty sure he was right, btw, but that also inspired me to write this poem. It isn’t about anyone in particular…the words just sorta poured out on the page, and this is what was there when … Continue reading »
Oh, I love any book about vampires, werewolves, monsters, zombies, sorcerers, beasties, or time-traveling romances. And if I had an hour alone with Robert Pattinson, he would forget all about Skinny Legs Magee, I’ll tell you that much. -Donna Meagle, Parks and Recreation, episode 3.3 “Time Capsule” (PS – I’m not entirely sure what beasties … Continue reading »
I found this poem on a scrap of newspaper tucked inside a book on my grandparent’s shelf. Almost every one of their (hundreds of) books had stuff like this inside, so going through their home after they passed away took quite a while. But this poem was one of my favorite finds, and I like … Continue reading »
I am not making light of the riots in Vancouver – they horrify me and I don’t understand how anyone can be driven to violence over a sport. That being said, I adore this picture of a blissful couple making out amidst the Vancouver riots. I’m sure you will be seeing this pic all over, … Continue reading »
I tried to make a list of all the fictional movie and TV characters (male) that were attracted to plus size women, but I didn’t get very far. It isn’t a big list to begin with, and I cut out some contenders right away. Requirements: Fictional male main character/member of ensemble cast Average guy that … Continue reading »
Corina, I’m very proud of you for your writing and all your blog hitting! -Betsy (my mama), after I showed her that my blog inexplicably had over 1,000 hits
That was the description/episode title for the premier airing of Lifetime’s new show “Love Handles: Couples In Crisis”. That statement was also the only reason I bothered tuning in. Why would that attract me? Because, unfortunately, I’ve heard similar things before. So I gave this show a whirl, fully prepared to hate and despise the … Continue reading »
