Ken Jennings gives Rustic a shout out
Yes, Ken Jennings the Jeopardy guy. In his blog, he listed the best band from each of the 50 states and he chose my very own favorites the Rustic Overtones as his choice from Maine. :)
Check it out.
I think we all know that now that I've brought up my very favorite band in the world who just happened to reunite within the past year, I'm about to bring up another favorite of mine that has also happened to reunite...in the last week: NKOTB. Yes, it's official. Yes, I'm freaking ecstatic.

R.I.P. Jeff Healey
Sometimes, I find that I am surprisingly upset by the death of a celebrity. I know I'm not alone in this, but it's kind of a strange phenomenon that we grieve so much for people we don't know.
First Roy Schneider, and now this:

And yes, I'll freely admit that the only reason I'd even heard of Jeff Healey is because I love the movie Road House, but that movie did make me a fan.
If you weren't previously aware of my Patrick Swayze or Jaws obsessions, now you are.

And so it begins...
It's AI and DWTS time again! They just announced the celebrity dancers yesterday and I'm already pulling for Marlee Matlin. I lurve her. I'm pretty excited to see Kristi Yamaguchi, too.
As for last night's AI, I have only three observations:
1) Did they deliberately pick the 12 most awkward dudes in America?
2) 60's night = so unkind. To everyone.
3) Luke Menard, hell-o.

Just for the heck of it...
I figured I'd go ahead and post since it's been two months since the last time. Despite the fact that I haven't been posting, I have been partaking in the pop culture. I've seen some movies (Lions for Lambs was horrendous, as was I am Legend; National Treasure 2 was surprisingly enjoyable), read *lots* of books, and have pretty much given up on TV (due to a combo of a lack of time, the strike, and Heroes sucking this year). I tried American Gladiators, but the nostalgia factor was just not enough to overpower the cheese factor. At least Psych starts again tonight. Gus and Shawn are my favorite relationship on TV, followed by Ned and Chuck, JD and Turk, and Len and Bruno. ;) Oh, and speaking of, I know I failed to do my weekly DWTS posts during the fall, but I'm glad Marie Osmond didn't win. I thought Mel B. was the best dancer, but Maks' choreography for the finale was awful. That's my $.02 on that.
Most of what I've been reading I won't bother posting about (historical romances, I kid you not; I'm addicted to them.), but I did read a cool collection of short fiction that I got at the Texas Book Festival called The First Line. All of the stories in it start with the same first line. There are four issues a year, check it out: www.thefirstline.com.
PS I've recently discovered Google Reader. An excellent way to stay on top of the million or so pop culture blogs I like. :)
One last thing: http://thesuperest.com/archives/2007/10/16/k01_unopposinator/
A couple of friends draw "superheroes," each one bested by the next. An excellent time-waster. (Thanks to Pop Candy for linking to it!)

Great news for Whedon (and Dushku) fans!
Fortunately for me, I'm both. :)
Welcome to the Dollhouse.
Sorry I've been so lax about this blog; Facebook and my "life in Texas" blog are taking up most of my internet time these days! This is one of the reasons I resisted Facebook all these years!
But, I have actually been doing some recreational reading, including a Romance novel I really liked and I'm not too proud to say it, Flowers from the Storm. I'm reading another one right now, too. Okay, I am a little embarrassed. I started The Golden Compass and gave up after page 67, making me the only person ever to not like this book, I think. I also read I Love You, Beth Cooper. It was a quick read and quite entertaining. It's the story of a high school nerd who confesses his love to the captain of the cheerleading squad in his valedictorian's speech and how he spends the rest of his graduation day. Hijinx ensue. The "soundtrack" and move quotes are a cool feature of the book, too. At one point, you could download the soundtrack from iTunes (or so I read on another blog), not sure if that's the case now.
I don't think I've seen any movies, but I have been trying to keep up with TV. I really liked the one episode of Samantha Who? I saw, but we didn't get the first one for some reason and the third was booted for Monday Night Football. Pushing Daisies is still my favorite thing on television; Sabrina and Mark (totaly cutie!) were robbed; and Heroes hasn't been as good this season. They need fewer characters and faster moving plots. This season doesn't have enough action for me (although, full disclosure: I haven't watched the last two episodes, yet, maybe it gets more exciting). Oh, and I can't wait to watch Scrubs! I haven't gotten to it, yet, but I am really hoping J.D. and Eliot did something they shouldn't have.
