I remember when we ordered a pizza a few months ago, I sat there, as I always do, and thought, "What would happen if the delivery guy got into an accident on his way here? How late would he be? Would he try to hurry up with the situation because he has a $15 pizza order or would he take his sweet time? Would the pizza be cold? Would he have to offer the pizza for free to the customer because he

Ricky Gervais committed career suicide last night at the Golden Globes. His jokes weren't funny. In fact, he was just downright inappropriate and hurtful. People used to think he was a genius for creating "The Office" and "Extras". But now that they've seen him be this rude to his fellow actors and industry folk, I think he could officially be out of the circle. He did what Joan Rivers, Tom Green

I have an upcoming project for one of my art classes where we have to make a 3-5 min. video showing what we think the 2000's are all about. Now, my teacher wasn't even sure what to call those years from 2000-2009. I've done some research and over in England, they've picked the phrase "noughties" - the word "nought" meaning zero. For my video, cause I know you're wondering, I'm going to do the

I'm a fan of taking care of my feathered friends. And, because it's now February, the coldest month of the year, birds need extra care from us humans. So, I found a few tips on how to feed the birds over the winter time. They need us, peeps!Feeding birds in the winter months is very important. During the winter months their natural food sources are often scarce and they heavily rely on us filling

As my family and I were watching the American Music Awards last night, we witnessed a spectacular comeback performance by J-Lo herself. Running through the crowd with a posse of people surrounding her... She was dressed like a boxing champ who was ready for the fight. Halfway through the song, as she's climbing up her shirtless men like stairs, she goes to jump off the final "step" and falls on

Regarding the future Janis Joplin biopic that I've heard rumors about, they've all said Renee Zellweger will FOR SURE play the part. Well, I looked on her IMDB page and it doesn't even mention anything about Janis. Looks like Renee is in for another Bridget Jones installment. So I perused Google. Several sites listed Pink, Zooey Deschanel, Ellen Pompeo, Juliette Lewis, and Jennifer Tilly. What

Here's some I found:The Runaways: Starring Kristen Stewart & Dakota Fanning, this movie tells the true story of the infamous 70's teenage girl rock group, the Runaways.

No, it couldn't be...CINEMA PARADISO!And in the movie they played a clip from "Anna", which was a low budget flick from 1951. The song she sings is called "El Baion" or in English it's known as "Bayon". It apparently was

Watching the AI finale last night, I noticed Fergie's nails as the BEP were performing. They're like 10" metal spikes! Not sure what that's all about. Just wondered if anyone else noticed them... She had them on during their performance on Jimmy Kimmel awhile back as well. Here's a video from last night so you can see: Kinda reminds me of that girl from X-Men 2 with the giant cat claws.

No, I'm not married yet, but I do love Lucy! Infact I've been watching the classic "I Love Lucy" episodes all week. Apparently, TV Land gave up the show to the Hallmark Channel as of January 1st, 2009. They air the show 4-5 times a day now! (Wonder what happened there...)But anyways, as I was surfing YouTube for classic clips of Lucy, I stumbled upon a vintage 1982 Entertainment Tonight

Just wanted to let you know I was alive and well in the new year, and I hope you haven't forgotten about me. I've been busy with...well, it's really nunya. Anywho, I'm working on another blog at the moment so this one has been put on hold. Look for it in a few weeks right here on Blogger.Have a great day and don't forget to visit CrowKitchen.com!!!BYE!!

Today is a sad day for me. One of my favorite actors died, and what's worse is that I found out days after the fact. Van Johnson, star of movies such as "In the Good Old Summertime", "Brigadoon", "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo", and "Yours Mine and Ours", although 'Summertime' was my favorite. I also like "Too Young to Kiss", "A Guy Named Joe", "Three Guys Named Mike", "Two Girls and a Sailor", "Till

I've been listening to Live365 a lot lately. First of all, the music on the radio sucks. You don't get any variety whatsoever. Online you have bajillions upon bajillions of stations to choose from. So, me being in the Christmas mood, I went on Live365 and found a few great channels to listen to. One of them is called Christmas Music 24/7 and they play lots of variety. New and old, all your faves

Yes, it's true! I've updated my blog yet again. I just wasn't feeling the last layout very much. This new look is sort of holiday mixed with summer fun, so I hope it's not too stupid to look at for anyone. Let me know what you think.(Oh, and visit my sponsors on the bottom left! Thanks!!)

For Veterans Day, I want you to thank a veteran. That's the greatest thing you could ever do. Hearing a "Thanks" makes a veteran feel proud for serving his or her country. Your second task today would be to purchase a Memorial Bracelet, honoring those who have served, and those that are still missing. A portion of the proceeds from each sale goes to families of the heroes and victims of terrorism

Well, I'm not one of those people who sent in an absentee ballot. I'm actually going at 7 AM tomorrow to stand in line for my very first vote in a presidential election. Over the weekend I did my part and went door to door, reminding people to vote. I signed up with my local Obama office and we passed out door fliers to a few neighborhoods in the area. Where I live is a predominantly McCain area,

I've been listening to AccuRadio for many years now. They rock! They have a station for every genre of music. And if you don't like a certain artist, you can take them out of the playlist. For the holiday season, I'll be listening to AccuRadio Holidays. They're #1 on the web for Christmas music. Whether you like the classics, R&B, rock, or whatever, they have a Christmas station for you! Here's

I have been going to this website since I was a kid. It has great activities for the kids and you can ever write a letter to Santa! Plus, on Dec. 24, NORAD lets you track Santa on his journey around the world. For moms, they have recipes and gift ideas. It's just a cute website that the whole family will enjoy. Remember, Christmas is right around the corner. Are you ready?

According to this article, you can save lots of money during the Holidays and also spend it too! (No, really.)Trees: Recycle them after the holidays to become mulch or replant them in your yard.Lights: Go LED!Gifts: Instead of useless crap, donate to a charity on behalf of a family member or bake some cookies and put them inside a nifty gift box.Wrapping: Use recycled materials to jazz up those

I know it's only October 17 as I write this, but all around me, I feel like things are trying to push me towards the Christmas holiday. And why not? With only two months to go until December 25th, I better start shopping, right?!? Heck, this one radio station around here started playing Christmas music last week! I cannot believe it. I like that music--when it's in season. Not right after summer

Hey, hey, hey! I found a really sweet website for all you nifty, thrifty gals out there. She has lots of floral prints, strawberries, parisian, shabby chic, etc. Oh it's all delightful. I want to buy everything, but it's sooo over my budget. Perhaps you could snag a coin purse at least...(Oh, and being a graphic design major, I absolutely adore her logo.)

I'm so sad to say this, but my fave show from the late 90's boy band era is going off the air soon. Yes, it's MTV's infamous video countdown show, TRL. Once hosted by Carson Daly, it used to be the most watched show in its day for teens. We'd watch Britney, Eminem, Nsync, BSB, Xtina, any many others stop by to say hello. (And then pose in the photobooth!) I would always rush home to watch this

As I watched the 9/11 coverage on several of the news stations yesterday morning, I thought back to the day when this disastrous event happened. I was 13 years old, oblivious to what happened, and when I found out later on, I was scared to death. My dad picked me up from school and boy was I happy to see him. I could only think of visions of World War III or a nuclear fallout. (I watch alot of

Hey ya'll! What's cooking? Well, my sister, actually. She's done it again and started her own all-natural bird feed company, right out of her home. She refuses to feed her birds that yucky stuff made from grease and preservatives. Therefore, she decided to make her own. Her company is called Crow Kitchen and she's delighted to sell bird cakes, bird butter, and even bird cookies. (There's even one

My dog Buddy and I saw this @ PetSmart yesterday (and tried it on) and just had to have it. You should probably get one also. Now, on the site it says for cats, but Buddy is an 8lb Bichon/Shih Tzu and it fit him just fine. Probably best for smaller dogs, though.Link here.

I found these really cute bracelets online today. But be forewarned, they're not your usual bracelets. Oh no. They're made from old cameras! Yes, it's true. They're made from recycled lens parts and are quite expensive. Not that I'm going to buy them or anything cause I don't have that kind of dough. Just thought I'd be one of the firsts to spread the word on this unique and one-of-a-kind item.(

By far, the best track is "Wanna Be Starting Something" feat. Akon. It is sweet! Other artists that remixed include Fergie, Will.i.am, and Kanye on tracks such as "PYT", "Beat It" and "Billie Jean". Oooh you gotta love it!!Here's a link to KIIS-FM to hear

I was watching something last night..something, I can't remember, and I decided to turn on the news for a bit to wait for TMZ to come on. All of a sudden I see these headlines on the screen saying a madman went on a killing spree in Kirkwood, MO and shot 5 people. The shooter was eventually shot dead, but holy cow! This kind of stuff doesn't usually happen in Missouri, let alone Kirkwood. It's a

Well, he's not president--yet. But he will be soon enough. Today in Missouri, moments before the 12 o'clock hour, it was announced that Obama had won my state. It was a close call all night as I watched Hillary's numbers rise and rise. But finally, nearing the end, they tallied the results and found Obama to be the winner. WAHOO!!I'm so happy for him because I think he'd be a great president. His

Apparently Entertainment Tonight and The Insider were supposed to air Heath's drug video today, but after lots of PeeR pressure, they caved and cancelled.But leave it up to me to find a clip somewhere online. Oops! I found a snippet:Link to the vidAnd here's what he said, in case you can't understand:"I'm gonna get so much shit from my girlfriend..."Why, he's asked."We have a baby together…

Heath had recently finished work on this summer's "Batman" sequel, "The Dark Knight," in which he plays a villain, the Joker. Christopher Nolan, the film's director, shared these memories:One night, as I'm standing on LaSalle Street in Chicago, trying to line up a shot for "The Dark Knight," a production assistant skateboards into my line of sight. Silently, I curse the moment that Heath first

That's it! I can't take it anymore! I want to move to LA right now! I've wanted to live there all my life, and now that I'm almost old enough to move out on my own, I want to do it. I want to work at a movie studio and live the Hollywood dream. If movie roles or record contracts come my way, then so be it. I want to be famous and have a great life--instead of living like I am now. It's so

I was sitting there eating my after-school snack when all of a sudden I got a phone call with tragic news. I couldn't believe my ears; I kept yelling, "What?!? What?!? Are you sure? No way!" But it was true. I turned on CNN and checked online--sure enough he was gone.It's quite sad that someone with such talent is gone. His career was just kicking off and something awful took his life.I first saw

You know what's a good song: Embraceable You by The Starlite Orchestra.I'm listening to it right now on XM Radio and it's just so pretty. Almost makes me want to cry.But if I cried right now my tears would turn into icicles since it's FREEZING outside!Ciao!

After a few months of deciding whether or not to trade my car in, I finally did it last night. Bought a nice, used Honda Accord for under $12k. So while researching the best deals in my area, I decided to look up salesman scams and things to do when you buy a used car. I came upon this great article written by an undercover reporter who posed as a salesman: http://www.edmunds.com/advice/buying/
