I recently watched series one of the British sketch comedy Man Stroke Woman (of “man-cold” fame) via Netflix, and I loved it. This is one of my favorite sketches, and I think it’s a great example of the show’s style of humor. The fact that the series stars Nick Frost is…

A Perfect Birthday
Many thanks to my parents, my parents-in-law, my sister, my brother-in-law, my nephew, and, most importantly, my awesome hubby, Rich, for organizing a family get-t0gether tonight to celebrate my birthday.

Flashback Friday: “Your Woman” by White Town

What do I primarily listen to on my nice, fancy, commercial-free, cutting-edge satellite radio? Why, ’80s and ’90s music, of course. Oh, and some BPM. What I’m enjoying most listening to the ’80s…

My Happy for the Day: OK Go and The Muppets
I saw this yesterday on Pop Candy, and it made my day. Not only because it reminds me of how fun the new Muppet movie looks, but because Coraline and I have been listening to The Muppet Movie soundtrack a lot these days (on vinyl, no less), so I’ve had…
