October 11, 2011

No those number’s are not my measurements, it is the combination to my high school locker. That’s what popped in to my head when Master Lock contacted me about reviewing one of their products. I chose their portable safe Safe Space.  I go to a lot of movie premiers and screenings and am not supposed [...]

Cold Blooded Controversy

October 3, 2011

Do you remember what books you read in High School? I know I read 1984 and Animal Farm but those were both for a Science Fiction Class and while they were controversial books, they were accepted because it was science fiction. I ask because here in Glendale the school board is contemplating not allow AP [...]

Football = Food

January 17, 2011

Image via Wikipedia One of my niece’s complaint’s when she moved here was that we don’t watch football.  Yes, we are a sports family, but it is mostly baseball, tennis and local high school football that we watch and support.

Thanks Easter Bunny Bawk Bawk

March 19, 2010

That is one of the few “holiday” commercials that has stuck in my brain throughout the years, the other is the ringing kisses at Christmas. Coincidence that both commercials belong to Hershey?  Hardly.  When it comes to marketing Hershey knows what they are doing.  One of the parts they do best is that they don’t [...]

This is a guest review by Brett aka Amtrekker.  Brett spent all of last year travelling around the US.  I offered him a night on our couch while in the LA area, but he must have got a better offer.  I asked him to do this review when I saw his Facebook status with his [...]

Mohammad and the Mountain

December 9, 2009

Image by adriennevh via Flickr Have you ever heard the phrase, if you can’t bring Mohammad to the mountain then we will bring the mountain to Mohammad.  I don’t know it’s origin, nor is that pertinent to my story. Part of the reason for the extended length of my visit was to reaquaint with old [...]
