It’s the remix/remake showdown!

It’s the very first remix/remake showdown. I have so many remakes and cover songs in my music library I decided it was time to put them head-to-head to see which one comes out the winner. This first installment has The Carpenter’s squaring off against Sonic Youth. Know what the song is?

Just Cruisin’

I think I’m going to have to go on at least one more cruise before I can fully form an opinion on whether I like them a lot or not. We had a great time on our first cruise, but the water was so rough I had a tough time getting out of the cabin.

Why yes, I am bodacious. Thank you for asking.

I think that a personal theme song is not a static song, never meant to change. I mean, we’re not the same person at 35 that we were at 25, or 15.

When all else fails, go for the meme!

I try not to go for the basic meme, (I guess I’m a meme snob) but instead I like ’em a little more unusual. So today I bring you the Who, What, Why, Where, When and Would meme. Because there’s a little reporter inside us all.

A Flurry of Activity

Who can play mommy, Santa, wife, Web Goddess, and Domestic Diva all at once? I don’t know, but if you find her, send her to my house. The 2009 holiday season was a busy one. It was good, but busy! Read on…

Is it really that time again?

Ah yes, Tuesday again. That means some random Tuesday thoughts. This week we’ll cover my possibly broken toe, the inability of Winn-Dixie employees to read the birthdate off an ID (hence the scanning of them now), tomatoes as a fruit, and how freaking cool I’m discovering my MacBook Pro is.
