Freaky Frugalite

One of my friends posted this video on Facebook. I usually avoid such videos, not liking to get swept up in the latest fad or hype. But this had some description about a kid who sings opera with a marvelous voice, so I watched the video. Yes, yes, it’s a lot of hype– boy, that [...]

I was considering skipping the meme this week, due to all the craziness going on (I’m in the middle of transferring all my domain names– 9 of them!– and then there’s the flooding and cleanup still going on, and I’ve been very busy with freelance work…). But I think I need a little break from [...]

Well, this is a pleasant surprise. Candace Cameron Bure is starring in Truth Be Told, the latest movie for Family Movie Night! That’s so very cool! Family Movie Night is a special mission from the folks at WalMart and P&G to bring more family-friendly movies to television (yay!). I’ve mentioned some of the movies before, [...]

I saw the Pixar film “Up” recently. What a cute, cute movie!!! I love Pixar– my favorite film is “The Incredibles” (I even shelled out $20 to buy the DVD), but I also LOVE “Finding Nemo” and “Monsters,” and “Toy Story.” Those guys (and gals) at Pixar are just hilarious!! But I love “The Incredibles” [...]

If you recall, a few weeks ago, I dropped a few delicious hints about The Jensen Project, a new family-friendly TV movie created by Walmart and P&G. We love their first project, Secrets of the Mountain. I was really happy to go see a sneak preview of their newest project. I wish I could tell [...]

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Alvin and the Chipmunks. All opinions are 100% mine. Whoa. Alvin and the Chipmunks! They’ve been around a looooong time. Like, as long as Mr. Rogers and King Friday the 13th! I found an old Mr. Rogers Neighborhood video on the Internet last week. [...]

I saw this Calvin & Hobbes comic recently, and just HAD to post it here! OMG this is so appropriate!

Well! I’ll never look at pumping gasoline into my car in the same way again! There’s this new TV show– broadcasts tonight actually– called truTV BLACK GOLD, and it’s about a bunch of Texas oil rig and drill operators who have only 50 days to drill four oil wells. My advice to these guys– QUIT [...]

First there was the insipid Leave It to Beaver. Then Walter Cronkite. Then, Cosmos (gag). Then… game shows, soap operas, and the “miniseries.” As if TV could not hit any lower and couldn’t suck us away from true life any more, along came Jerry Springer and then “reality” TV. I thought that was rock, rock [...]
