Liz’s rant: That’s a stupid law
PrintFor various reasons, I often find myself asking, “what’s wrong with people?” While I usually ask it from a rhetorical perspective, there are times when I really do expect an answer. At the least, I’d like to deliver some people a big fat bonk on the head with one of those giant cartoon hammers like Bugs Bunny had. Where am I going with this? I recently stumbled across some super strange laws still on the books … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – let the Eclipse countdown begin…
PrintI just realized that it has been a REALLY long time since I’ve written a post on anything related to The Twilight Saga. In fact, it’s probably been a good three months since I’ve even typed the word “Eclipse” into the Google bar. And truthfully, even though I have an Eclipse countdown at the bottom of my very own website, I’ve even lost track of how long until Eclipse premiers on June 30, 2010. Fyi…63 … Read entire article »

Liz’s rant: The weather spotter
PrintTo say this past weekend’s weather found me a little on edge would be an understatement. For several days, weather forecasters had placed a bull’s eye on Kentucky, where the atmosphere was prime for tornadoes. Strong tornadoes. Words like that always take me back to the deadly twister outbreaks on April 3, 1974. I still remember that day with great clarity. I’d been staying with a friend for a few days – Mom and Dad were somewhere … Read entire article »

Get your party on: 4/25-5/1

First, let’s celebrate Hairstyle Appreciation Day on April 30. I suppose the best way to celebrate is to look in the mirror and exclaim that you like your current hairstyle.

The Joneses – movie review by Kate
Print The Joneses – movie reviews by Kate Reel reviews for real people Rating: R Genre: Comedy Plot: If ever there was a film that was perfectly attuned to the current Zeitgeist, it would be THE JONESES. First-time writer/director Derrick Borte imbues a serious core theme– the wobbly undercurrents of a frenetic consumer culture–with humor, warmth and shots of clever, zesty fun. Borte begins the film by showing us ourselves – or at least who we often aspire to be. We … Read entire article »

Liz’s rant: Top 10 ways to procrastinate
PrintSome days, writing articles for money is about as enjoyable as a trip to the dentist.

Needless to say, yesterday was one of those days. As much as I hate to admit this, I have the process of procrastination down to a science, … Read entire article »

PrintToday dear readers, I am stooping to a new all-time personal low here on Coffee Break. (Liz reached this low months back with her Gotta go? story.)

Liz’s rant: Let sleeping dogs lie
PrintAs all you readers of Weekly Palooza know, there’s a new member of our family – my “nephew” Murray. Murray came into the world on Groundhog Day, 2010 and became an official member of the family just more than a week ago. Perhaps I should explain. Murray is an English bulldog.
