Whew! Made It Through The Holidays... Sort Of.


I can't believe it! We made it through the holidays (7 Christmases for my family so far) and are on our way to unwinding the right way on New Year's Eve! We technically still have one Christmas left to attend on January 3rd. That's how you know we have a humongous family--we're actually scheduling Christmas into the New Year. How many did you have?

We don't have any set plans for New Year's Eve, but I do have a Foxtown City Limits is having some great live bands in including Alex Moore. If you hear of any other hot spots for New Year's Eve in Pittsburg, be sure to post it!

Hope everyone had a fun and safe holiday weekend!

Skee-Ball Challenge


Yesterday I was minding my own business in the studio during my show, when Mike Snow, one of our sports guys, came in bragging on his Skee-ball skills. I immediately challenged him to a game to take place today down at the arcade here on the mall. We're going to video the game, so I'll try to have it posted on here or on the Rock Rev website later today.

Here's why I will win: Mike is an all-around sports player. He has divided his athletic efforts amongst football, basketball, golf, and various other sports his entire life. I found out from a very young age that I'm not good at anything except Skee-ball. Therefore, I have been able to concentrate my efforts on this particular game. Moreover, I am not afraid to cheat to win.

Results coming later today...

This is Strange...


Holy cow. You have got to read this article!

This reminds me of Brandon Lee.

This is Sacreligious!


I love Rolling Stone magazine, but their current glorification of that--that THING on Brad Pitt's upper lip is like Angus Young performing in a cowboy hat! It's just wrong, so, so wrong.

I don't blame Brad. (In fact, I quit blaming Brad for anything once he divorced Jennifer Aniston and started shacking up with ol' what's-her-lips. At that point, I felt he must be suffering through some kind of early-onset dementia and therefore not accountable for his own actions.) But how can Rolling Stone go from making the otherwise-not-that-cute Jonas Brothers look almost handsome to making BrAdonis look so... Tom Skerritt-ish?

Shame on them.

NFL Layoffs


So, the NFL has announced a 14% layoff at their Headquarters, NFL Films, NFL Network, and NFL.com. They say they are doing this in response to the economy. How stupid do they think we are? Seriously, the regular season ends in a couple of weeks. They would most likely be making these layoffs no matter what the economy is like. They are just trying to save face with the public. Apparently, they think they public is pretty simple-minded.

Robert Pattinson is NOT Cute!


No, I haven't read the books by Stephanie Meyer, and no I haven't even seen the new Twilight movie. But I know for sure, that I don't find Robert Pattinson attractive in the least. Please, men everywhere, do NOT try to emulate this guy. His "dirty" look is not sexy, it's gross. Don't get me wrong, I like a dirty man once in a while if he's dirty from WORKING HARD! This guy is trying to pull off some greasy-chic look, and it's not working for any woman with half a brain. (Then again, maybe he's not looking for a smart chick at this stage of his life.)

That being said, Robert Pattinson had a great quote in this issue of Britain's Closer magazine:

"The stuff I find attractive in women I always regret finding attractive. I always like a kind of madness in a woman, and when they are really, really strong. And they're the worst - mental strong women!"

I laughed out loud over the phrase "mental strong women," but took his comment in context and thought about how many guys I know with the exact same problem. Ironically, most of those guys are ex-boyfriends.

Bon Scott on the Big Screen... Sorta


As you probably know by now, I'm a huge AC/DC fan. Rumor has it, there's a movie in the works about the life of Bon Scott, AC/DC's late lead singer. From what I've read, (he passed away when I was an infant) he had a thrilling life. The makers of the movie are trying to get the remaining member's of AC/DC to approve the project. Realrocknews.com has a great article on this.

Holidays


You know, I have 47 people on my "HAVE-to-buy-for" Christmas list and another 13 on my "SHOULD-buy-for" list. My husband and I both come from split homes, so we have 6 Christmases this year. (We're skipping out on 2!) I really feel like my divorced parents should pay for at least half our gifts we have to buy, but my husband says no way. Anyhow, I wrote a whole article on how to Christmas shop with little or no money for SEKInfo.com. It's in the "Feature Articles" section on the left-side menu. Check it out and let me know if you have any more ideas. As I said, I have a LOT of people to shop for...
