Feeling Restless (or, Why I Relate To Lily Allen)

Feeling Restless (or, Why I Relate To Lily Allen) Listen to Lily Allen - "223 - Wake up. Snooze button. Snooze button. Shower. Pray that my pants aren't too wrinkled. Grab some string cheese and a v8 and hope that constitutes as a healthy breakfast. Drive way over the speed limit to work. Stare at the computer screen for eight hours. Drive home. Do homework. Drink wine. Sleep. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat... I've officially hit the quarter-life crisis. I can't help but think, "Is this going to be my [...]

My Life Is Complete

My Life Is Complete On October 25, I can die happy. I will be at the Rose Bowl, watching the glory that is U2 . Say what you will about Bono and U2. Go ahead and use the words "trendy" or "sell outs." I think that they are brilliant musicians, and Bono has a way with words that few songwriters do. I am 99% sure that their new album will be in my top 5 for 2009, if not my top 5 for the past decade. And now, I have tickets to their only [...]

Duct Tape Diapers?

Duct Tape Diapers? Have you seen the commercial for the newest ABC show, "In The Motherhood?" It's pretty funny, especially when one of the characters announced: "We have been out of diapers for 2 days...we've been using paper towels and tape!" But then, the announcer says that the show is inspired by true stories. WTF? Seriously. That one sentence makes me want to re-think the whole kids thing. If kids make you that much [...]

Review: Meiko, Emily Wells, & Laura Jansen

Review: Meiko, Emily Wells, & Laura Jansen Never heard of Meiko, Emily Wells, or Laura Jansen? Well you've probably heard their songs. All three are the darlings of network TV lately. Meiko has been featured on numerous Grey's Anatomy episodes, while Jansen's song "Soujah" was placed in MTV's Newport Harbor (and don't give me the "I don't watch reality shows about rich teenyboppers. You do. Don't lie.) I saw these three two nights ago at Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach. It was a great cap to the weekend. Laura played first. The girl is fun to [...]

Saint Rocke - Patron Saint of Good Music

Saint Rocke - Patron Saint of Good Music Fine, I admit it: I had a lot of fun at the Rascal Flatts show. Of course, it had a lot to do with the company I kept (don't let that get to your head, Mark), and the highly entertaining opening act. Would I ever spend half as much money on tickets to a country show as I plan to spend on U2? No. But the cowboys put on a good show, there were enough rednecks for me to laugh at, and I was able to [...]

Jessica Simpson Yodeled

Jessica Simpson Yodeled I hate southern accents. I think any beer made in Milwaukee should solely be used to water plants. I don't understand why people would ever have pride in being labeled a redneck, and think those from the "back woods" should stay there, far far away from me. Hi. My name is Veronica and I have been to two country shows in less than one month. Help me. Please. I didn't intend for this to happen. I lived a wonderful 25 years surrounded by people who genuinely cared about the contents [...]
