Friday Geek Out: Camp
Since this is the unofficial last weekend of summer, I decided to geek out on something that has some summertime built into it. The film Camp hit movie theaters in January 2003 and gave a blast of summer in the middle of winter. The film centers around Camp Ovation, a summer performing arts camp where [...]

Dance, Dance, Dance
Well, my excitement from earlier this morning is a little tempered now. Good Morning America had the announcement of the new lineup for Dancing with the Stars and I’m less than impressed. Here’s who we get to watch dance:
Melanie Brown, also known as Scary Spice, is partnered with Maksim Chmerkovskiy. If she’s on tour with [...]

Chris Owen’s Adagio
This was a great book to read as summer draws to a close. Chris Owen’s Adagio is romance and travelogue melded together. In just the span of a week, I’ve been through Australia with stops at Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide, Kangaroo Island, Woomera, Uluru, Kakadu and other places. This story centers around two Canadian natives, [...]

New ABC Promo
ABC is totally on a roll with the ads for its new Fall season. I don’t watch Desperate Housewives (I’m kind of an anti-fan really) but this promo is just too dang slick not to appreciate. I love the look on Felicity Huffman’s face after she pulls off the wig - it’s totally old skool [...]

Make a Scrapbook Out of the Web
I know some pretty cool people. I met Ilio when he was working at The Princeton Review a few years ago and he’s one of the few people I’ve stayed in touch with after they’ve left the company. These days he’s working for Oxygen, yup.. the TV network. But he’s doing some decidedly non-TV stuff [...]

Ordinals Resist Tsunami to Make Playoffs
We knew when we arrived at the rink last night that our playoff fate was squarely in our hands. The Sled Dogs lost to the Hornets earlier in the day, so that meant the outcome of our contest against the Tsunami would dictate if we were in or out. It was a pretty dramatic game, [...]

How Much Did You Play This Summer?
Odds are not enough. CBS Sunday Morning commentator Nancy Giles (one of my favorite CBS commentators) had a great piece this morning on how few people in today’s culture are truly leaving work behind on their vacations.
With just two weeks before Labor Day, it’s a bit of commentary everyone should read before Summer 2007 is [...]
Friday Geek Out: Wonderfalls
How would you feel if one day a stuffed animal spoke to you? Jaye Tyler thinks she must be going insane. Over the course of the 13 Wonderfalls episodes, Jaye is given directions to help people from an array of inanimate animals. A sampling:
From the wind-up penguin: “Bring her back to him!”
From the wax lion: [...]
Chris Owen’s 911
I became a fan of Chris Owen last year when I read Bareback, a romance between two ranch hands. A couple months ago, Will and I picked up several more of Owen’s books and I’ve just completed reading 911. It’s another romance, although this time with a twist. Firefighter Drew and Doctor Scott initially meet, [...]

Hooray for Billy!
This poster went up in Shubert Alley this week…
I love the movie. I love the London Cast Recording. And now Billy Elliot: The Musical is destined for Broadway with previews beginning September 17, 2008.
