. . It’s just a tv show, it’s just a tv show… I was going to write about the Christian coalition on “Survivor” this week, but then this had to happen. “It’s just a tv show, mom.” One by one my daughters reiterated the same cold truth. They had heard me (and my husband) a-hollerin’ …
. Ok, I admit it. I didn’t really watch DWTS too much in its first 10 seasons. When it premiered I thought “Hmm, seems like innocent fun, but sooooo cheesy!” The costumes, the big band redux of popular songs, and the shmoozing were a bit much. But I would occasionally tune in — I was …
Where was Berry Gordy this week? Maybe after being invited to see the meh performance of Ashthon 2 weeks ago, he was afraid to come back. Well he missed out on some Smokey-hot performances. Even country-boy Scotty showed he had a little bit of soul, as he delicately walked the line between engaging entertainer and …

Um, what do I have to say about this song? Well, the days of “mix tapes” are gone — so now we have the slightly less romantic (since it doesn’t take as much effort) but still effective act of putting a song on someone’s iPod for them. My husband makes this small gesture for me …
This from Colette Moran, author of the fine blog, Clearly Nebulous: “I discovered this song because a young actress in a movie my kids like said it was on her iPod because her mom turned her on to the Pixies. (Apparently it was also in “Fight Club.”) So I go to YouTube and found this …
This just in from Colette Moran, author of the fine blog, Clearly Nebulous: “Sometimes your children will surprise you with a blast from your past. I was curious when my 15-yr-old was playing this vid as she IM’ed on the computer… Of course, then I learned it had been used in a Shrek movie. They …
