Perhaps I’ve mentioned that I love British things?
Our friends at the delicious Britophile Blog Britfancy noticed and asked me to guest post! It’s my first time, and I’m ridiculously excited and honored!
Check out the post HERE where I answer the most gnawing UK vs US question of all time! Who’s cooler…… Read More
Getting the world to cycle together with good deeds- another step towards internet-fueled utopia. I have to admit- I got chills when a colleague showed me this. I feel like this might be a small step towards something much more important- or maybe this very product will evolve into something more substantive. For now the good deeds… Read More
I took what Hawkes wrote last week to heart, and I took time to let the balloon boy hullabaloo set in. (Full Confession: It doesn’t hurt that I am in England and had minimal internet connectivity until now.) And what this time off helped me to see is what balloon boy really needed: a mix to… Read More

Jane Campion has done quite a number, casting the beguiling Abbie Cornish… Read More
If you were born in the 80′s, then you understand why this video is AWESOME!
In procrastinating packing for my pending trip to England, I started to think about all of the traveling I’ve done as of late. And it’s actually quite a lot. If I only count the places I need to procure non-public transportationto get to (i.e. rent a car/take a bus/book a flight), I could name ten… Read More

Last week I stumbled on one of most revolutionary political parties in New York. It is called the Rent is too Damn High Party. One look at the web page, and I was sold. Jimmy McMillian (pictured above), a self avowed investigator and activist, is running for mayor of New York. He will be… Read More
We have all become loot whores. That has to be the explanation.
The next time your kids (who are we kidding- your significant other) starts letting the cleanliness slip a little bit at the old homestead, turn him onto this little game- Chore Wars. Control, thy name is RPG.
Chore Wars lets you claim experience
Tomorrow marks 100 days since the BP oil spill in the gulf. I know they “successfully” capped it, but as long as that sucker is still leaking, I’m saying there is still an oil spill. But this disaster got me thinking a lot about the good old days of folk – when popular music regularly included anthems… Read More
Unless you have been living under a rock, you are quite familiar with the body (of work) of Isaiah Mustafa. Mustafa is a former wide-receiver in the NFL, and currently has a talent contract with NBC. He might be better known to you as The Old Spice Guy (heretofore known in this post as OSG). But just in… Read More
