In which I am a sellout to Christian Grey and other things

50-shades-of-grey

Ok I have to admit I broke down and borrowed 50 Shades of Grey from Giara at Fatty vs. Food. I was *this* close to buying it on Amazon to read on my Kindle. I figured if I was going to hate on the book, I probably should at least try to read it. Sadly, [...]

Wayback Wednesday

Lately, music in commercials has been the subject of many of my purchases on ITunes and this week’s Wayback Wednesday is no exception. If it wasn’t for Shazam, I admit I wouldn’t know some of the songs I’ve downloaded. My mom is a fan of the Jay-Z song Heart Of The City which shows up [...]

Madonna as She-Ra on the Super Bowl!

I am not a football fan. I watch football occasional because my mother is a huge football fan. I often wonder why my mom is the fan and I’m sort of a lukewarm sports fan and that passion for sports didn’t get transferred in the DNA. I like sports. I like Soccer. I like baseball. [...]

Happy 2012 Wayback Wednesday

Happy New  Year to you. Since it is Wednesday, I figured we’d start the year off with a Wayback Wednesday. The funny part about it is it’s not really very wayback if you think about it. A few weeks ago, My friend and I went to Union Station here in Kansas City and we saw [...]

Christmas songs that don’t suck

If you’ve read this blog for any amount of time or you know me personally, I have some rather strong opinions on what constitutes a good Christmas song. Friends tease me with occasional posts to my facebook of “Mary, did you know?” knowing that the answer is always “Yes! She knew! Gabriel told her.” If [...]

Is it me you’re looking for?

Is it me you're looking for?

I saw this picture on Facebook today and I got a good laugh at it. Then I read the comments of the picture and was shocked. SHOCKED I tell you! I had to do something so my Wayback Wednesday is dedicated to the man who wants to know if you’re looking for him. Some people [...]

Occupy your ears!

It’s way back Wednesday today and with all the Occupy Wall Street (or whatever street) protests going on around the country, I was thinking of protest songs. I’m not a huge fan of the protests but hey, protests in the last few decades did come up with some pretty good songs. Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Fortunate Son”, [...]

Wayback Wednesday – Physical edition

I think it was yesterday’s post that inspired today’s post but I literally can not get this song out of my head. My pain is your pain and because I do love to share, I give to you the earworm de jour of Olivia Newton John’s Physical. Little known facts about this song are that [...]

Wayback Wednesday – Scary but funny edition

128691993544676933

Since it’s October and I love scary movies, music and much more, I figured I’d dedicate this weeks Wayback Wednesday to one of my favorite “Halloween” songs. I don’t know if I’d truly call it a Halloween song because sometimes, you just need a song that makes very little sense and you can howl along [...]

Wayback Wednesday

Elo_logo

For this week’s way back Wednesday I must admit I’ve been slightly influenced by my Sirius Satellite radio in my car. While I didn’t officially grow up in the 70’s, I did hear a lot of the music because my brother’s did. They were bigger. They got to pick the music. I was born in [...]
