More Things Brit

                                                                                                                                        3:41 a.m.    1/14/15/05 It never ends. That’s something Alan Rickman says in Dogma, and it’s true with my never-ending thirst for all things British. Correction: All things UK. I’m surprised I didn’t become hornier watching Liam Neeson in Kinsey as he’s an Irish lad as well, but he doesn’t do much for me. Neither does… Continue Reading

Stalking Alan

                                                                                                                                         4:37 a.m.   1/10/11/05 With my obsession for all things Brit in general and for all things Alan Rickman specifically, I was worried that I might become a stalker. Oh, I’ve never stalked anyone before, but I’ve never had this strong a celeb crush before. It’s silly and it’s stupid, I know, but I feared that… Continue Reading

I Want You to Want Me

Relationships.  They have been on my mind lately.  I have had several discussions with friends around the world about them, so on them I ruminate. When I was a little girl, I assumed I would grow up, get married and have kids–after getting my Ph.D. of course.  White picket fence, apple pie, and all that… Continue Reading

My Own Damn Bucket List

One of the many notes floating around Facebook is The Bucket List, which, I presume, is based on the movie.  I haven’t seen the movie, but I gather it’s about the things you have to do before you die.  I filled out the list, but I was underwhelmed.  It didn’t even have an actual bucket… Continue Reading

I Hope I Get It

I have blogged about the true passion of my life before, but I feel compelled to so again.  No, it’s not Paul Krugman–he’s my current crush.  And no, it’s not even Alan Rickman–though he is hotness personified.  It is, in one word, the theatre.  Yes, I know that’s technically two words, but I don’t care. … Continue Reading

Finally, Feline Fondness

Well, it’s that day, finally.  The day when I can stop talking about love!  I was running out of things I love, so I’m relieved that today is the final day of gushing.  What is the topic of the day?  Why, my cats, of course.  In their honor, here is the song Lovecats by The… Continue Reading

Every Word Counts

As I was lying in bed last night, futilely trying to go to sleep, I suddenly realized that all my love videos I have posted have been from men.  To right that dastardly wrong, I will be posting several love videos by women.  First up, some old-school Indigo Girl.  Their poignant song, Love’s Recovery. Ok. … Continue Reading

All About Alan

So, just two days after I lifted my self-imposed political ban, I love nothing.  Now, is there a correlation?  Probably.  To that end, here is the love song of the day.  It’s All Out of Love by Air Supply–a particularly apt song for my mood, I think, if you take the title words literally.  Hm. … Continue Reading

There’s No Business Like Show Business

Ed. note:  I had to remove the last two videos because the user removed them on YouTube. Ok.  I am Day Four into my personal politics-free zone, and I am doing surprisingly ok.  I glance at the headlines just to see how much filibustering the Republicans are doing, and then I just shrug and go… Continue Reading
