QOTD: The Band’s Back Together!

Not so long ago, VH1 had a great series where it tried to reunite bands that long ago went their separate ways. It was revealed that there were often major underlying personal issues that lead to the break-up, making it that much more difficult to get everyone in the same room, much less to agree to perform together. Berlin started touring after they reunited. Klymaxx only got a few people back together to perform after a meeting in the ladies room that didn’t end well. If you could reunite any band, which one would it be? Continue reading →

QOTD: The Takedown

Nothing feels quite as good as ripping someone deserving to shreds, does it? Really destroying someone who seriously and unquestionably had it coming. God, isn’t that the best? I mean, besides helping the poor and hungry and stuff. That’s totes better. But second to that, there’s just nothing like an epic takedown.

Of course, not all of us are pros at The Takedown. Some of us are too nice, some of us just aren’t clever enough, and some of us just have better things to do. (Not me, obviously. I don’t even have better things to do than write a blog post about takedowns, so, there ya go.) Fortunately, there are some people out there who are simply fantastic at knocking people down to size, whether it’s with an epic rant (shown beautifully here by the blog 2birds1blog, in the greatest rant about Bobby Flay known to man, with a h/t to EPuff) or a blissfully perfect impersonation of idiocy, as exemplified by the wonderful Tina Fey as Sarah Palin.

QOTD: Home Remedies

I had a sinus headache for several days and it got me thinking about what we do to avoid going to the doctor. For my headache I’ve run my Neti pot twice a day, applied a warm buckwheat and lavender spa wrap to my head, and, lest you think I’m a hippie, took two ibuprofen every few hours. I’ve been known to sip flat cola for nausea and knock back a half-teaspoon of baking soda for agida. I’ve also reduced my seasonal allergies by eating a little raw local honey every day. Okay, maybe I am a bit of hippie.

Today’s Question of the Day: What are some of your tried and true home remedies?

QOTD: What Would You #AskObama?

I’m sure that I’m not the only one that had an email from the White House land in my inbox today, pimping the President’s Twitter Town Hall. Today at 2pm Eastern time, President Obama will answer questions generated by the Twitter-verse.  Allegedly, the folks at Twitter have worked up a way to make sure that he gets questions that are being asked frequently and hit with the #AskObama hashtag. I’m sure they actually have, I just stink at technology. Continue reading →
