I had an interview at the Capitol Building today and it was my first time inside. I’ve driven past it several times, most of the time not even realizing that it’s such an important place. As I walked in (and got past the metal detector) you could just feel the energy of the building. The [...]

I basically wasted an hour last week having the whole Amazing Race episode become moot when teams had to sign up for two different flights. If someone told me “Gary and Mallory received an Express Pass,” that’s all I needed to know.   Whoever decided to design the challenges this season get my gratitude. Not [...]

[The Amazing Race - Season 18 Episode 2] Jet was still working on the clue for the roadblock because they couldn’t figure out the password. Tenth place team Kent & Vyxsin and all of the other teams started to head back to the main area of Sydney as they searched for town hall where they [...]

[Top Chef Season 8 Episode 11] Back in the stew room, Dale and Tiffany were shocked about Angelo’s elimination. Dale was happy he spent the last set of challenges winning, but knew that most of the contestants will be eliminated at one point. At the apartment, Richard was planning different recipes in his notebook with [...]

[America's Next Top Model - Season 16 Episode 1] Tyra introduced this season of America’s Next Top Model by joking around about all the previous seasons’ casting episodes. She poked fun of previous contestant auditions’ archtypes including that one b*tch contestant that would scream, “I’m not here to make friends.” There is no actual casting [...]

One thing about blogging is that you have to understand that everyone and anyone can read your blogs. Something I don’t actually worry about too much. I used to consider myself a bit on the complicated side, but since I’ve been blogging I think I’ve tried my best to be more open about things. Blogs [...]

Pink Total Points: 87 Charted Songs: “Raise Your Glass” – #14 I’m very happy that Pink is not only still prominent in the music industry, that she is pregnant. I really hope she does have a son so that she will actually name him Jameson. Who expected a music career like this from the girl [...]

Here are the artists that just missed the top 30, starting with number 36. 36. Jason Derulo – (71 Points) Jason had more of an impact early into 2010, thus leading him to be a bit forgotten in the second half of 2010. He also showed up on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ to promote an [...]

Today while I was ready to get some sort of post done, I had my laptop at an interesting angle: it caught every dust particle and finger print on my screen. Since I’m in Plattsburgh, I guess I’ll have to deal with the consequences. Traditionally, I don’t mind attacking any electronic based screen with a [...]

Often times, my parents wake me up with a task to do. Let’s buy a couch, let’s go to Costco, you want lunch? Of course I’m gonna say yes. The image of my mother struggling with a big case of Poland Spring water always pops up in my head and I’m feeling guilty. So I [...]

I’m having trouble accepting Russel (H.) as a good player on Survivor: Samoa. My problem with it is that he’s being force-fed by the editors to be this amazing game player. Announcing in the beginning of the season that he is “The most evil-est player in Survivor history” is the dumbest thing because now he [...]

Whoops, a little late here: Project Runway: Sequins, Feathers, and Fur. Oh, My! – TV Squad Grey’s Anatomy: Invasion – TV Squad Some thoughts: Project Runway – None of the outfits made, maybe with the exception of Nicolas’ piece, was Christina Aguilera worthy. Even Nicolas’ looked like a knockoff of Laura from Season 3. Stop [...]

Here are two episode review/recaps: Jon & Kate Plus Eight: School Days – The Celebrity Cafe Dancing with the Stars: Performance #4 – TV Squad. If you’d like please leave comments about DWTS, it’s getting happily heated complaining about score differentials and the fact that professionals don’t know the dances that they had to teach [...]

Here’s my reviews of last nights Project Runway and Grey’s Anatomy: Project Runway: A Fashionable New Beginning – TV Squad Grey’s Anatomy: Tainted Obligation – TV Squad As an aside, I’m a little apprehensive still about Survivor. They keep shoving Russell down our throats as the most evilest villain ever. It’s annoying. That’s why the [...]

Here are two articles I’ve recently written: America’s Next Top Model: Dance with Me – TV Squad Music Review – AfroSambaJazz: The Music of Baden Powell – BlogCritics.Org If you could, leave comments on both sites. Comments mean love!

I’ve recently gotten back into reviewing music. It’s a weird process in my head. You have to analyze, and skew the music trying to figure out what are the merits (and problems) with the album. It’s a lot harder than it sounds. It’s not that I want to gush over everything, that wouldn’t make any [...]

I’ve recently picked up a new office chair for my “office.” I think that now with the chair, it feels more office-y. So… how much was the office chair? Well, actually it was free. I saw it at the side of a dumpster at Office Depot. It looked perfectly fine on the initial look and [...]

So I was reading the recent issue of Time magazine and they had an article saying that when you exercise, you get hungrier than you ever did when you started. Apparently, several women gained weight when they started exercising. I freaked out a little bit. My weight has gone down about 12 pounds from when [...]

The summer heat is definitely doing something to my quality of writing. It’s just not as fluent and proficient as it used to be back in the spring. I don’t think I’m running on full as I was before. Even now as I’m typing this, I have more motivation because it’s not as hot outside [...]

I don’t often post things that are unsensical or frivilious but here’s one: Gaming on a Dime – Arcades can save a gamer money I wrote this as my first article into the foray into Associated Content. I’ve had this idea about budget gaming and although I contemplated starting up a website (like budget gamer [...]

I love taking random personality quizzes to see how accurate they are. One of my personal favorites is the whole Jung/Personality Type quizzes. They traditionally have 16 types based of off four letters (Extraverted/Introverted, Sensing/iNtuition, Thinking/Feeling, and Judging/Perceiving). I used to pride myself being INFJ (which is the rarest of the 16). I recently took [...]

I’m definitely finding my groove. This is my first real intense week over at the TV Squad, so I think I handled myself with some poise. Much love here. Monday: Jon & Kate Plus 8: Trip to the Vet Recap – The Celebrity Cafe Dancing With the Stars: Week 1 – TV Squad Tuesday: American [...]

There are some days when I just feel like everything overwhelms me. I have so much to do that I can’t do anything. I had that day on Monday. Then Tuesday rolled around and I was gaining a little bit of momentum. By Wednesday, I had put myself on a strict To Do list with [...]

Waiting is a cruel mistress. I just had dinner with my parents. We drove over to the buffet after my father suggested it. It basically sounded like this: … … … … … Twenty minutes of awkward silence. I was pretty sure it was because my father turned to me and went, “You know, if [...]

It’s a little sad. Since Eric lost his job, he’s been in this weird rut that I can’t help with. I don’t really have anything positive left to say; that and I tend to have a degree of indifference to things. (It’s called being slightly narcissistic) The big problem with it is the fact that [...]
