This Week in Geeky Bunny News...

For my Adult Swim fans, catch Meatwad, Master Shake, Frylock, and Carl in Season 5 of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It comes out this week.

The Lego turns 50! Check out this nifty Town Plan playset! I would have been all over this as a kid.

I stumbled upon this converted garbage truck that is waaaay nicer than my own place. I never thought I'd say this, but I want to live there!

These little gems of inspiration come from another blog, and it totally bears repeating.

I use this website for 2 reasons: I need real-time weather reports so I know what to expect during the day, and I like to see what the weather is like in my hometown of Boulder, CO. NCAR is nifty!

I still haven't seen Juno, but I want to. I hope to create some free time Sunday and get myself to a theater during matinee ticket time. Anyone want to review it for me, without ruining the ending?

I Added A Couple of Songs...

...to my playlist from a couple of my favorite Bens - Kweller and Lee. They should make for a great mid-afternoon boost, since they're happy and peppy. I hope you enjoy them.

Something adorable, is the video for Penny on the Train Track. It features Ben Kweller's own Bubbie, who is just a delight. I'm a dork and teared up the first time I watched this because my heart is for grandparents. Love it as much as I do! I just want to give her a hug:)

Another Beauty Review...

...and this might fall into the "too little too late" category. I'll explain why in a minute.

I'd imagine that none of you are shocked that I'm featuring another Origins product here. What can I say? I'm a big fan. It's natural, not terribly expensive, and always lasts a very long time. If you haven't made your way into a store, don't waste another second. It's all good stuff. I'll remain loyal, regardless of the situation, because this was the first line to actually clear up my skin. No more acne, and reduction of overall scarring. What's not to love?

Now, getting to the review. My featured product is Origins Cocoa Therapy Deeply Nourishing Body Butter. The very first thing I noticed when I opened the jar was the intoxicating scent. It's heavenly cocoa, with just a hint of orange. It brings me back to childhood for a moment and slightly reminds me of Tootsie Pops, or hot chocolate with mini marshmallows. It put some on my slightly damp skin, and it absorbed beautifully. No mineral oils = no greasy afterfeel. I used it again later in the day to give myself a calorie free boost, and it still soaked right in.

Upon further investigation, I disovered that this moisturizer contains all the feel-good properties that is inherently in chocolate. It has Vitamins A - E, and lots of good for you minerals. It also has the anti-oxidant properties that are just as important for your skin as they are for you to eat.

There are a ton of other products in this line, though sadly, my local store only carries this one item. You can get a lot of them at Origins.com, however, it looks like they no longer carry the purse sized roll-on fragrance, or the cocoa-flavored tinted lip balms. This is what I meant when I said "too little, too late". Boo! The good news is, there is a team dedicated to finding discontinued products for customers, so if there are still any items out there, they will hunt them down for you, and you can buy up to 3 of them at a time. Just another reason I love Origins!

Busy as a Bee...

...but not too busy to post something for all of you to read! I found a couple of articles and websites that may be of interest, so ya'll soak it up. Who knows when I'll have time to post again:)

For those of you interested in being a little greener, but can't always avoid the plastic cutlery you get at those fast foodie joints, looks like there is a better solution. Let's hope we start seeing these soon!

Want to see what you'd look like with Hollywood Hair? This InStyle virtual 'do site will give you an updated look. It's okay. Only you and your stylist have to know who you were trying to emulate.

Just in case there is anyone who hasn't seen it, I have Robot Chicken's now famous Star Wars parody.

I know some of you are looking for jobs, or ways to supplement your income. This article comes from a UK publication, but most of it still applies here in the States. Give it a looksee.

Want to feel really stupid? Watch a chimp beat the socks off a human at a numbers game. (I couldn't have done this, so don't feel too bad.)

And finally, our friend the Etch-a-Sketch has gone digital. No more violently shaking out your mistakes and cursing under your breath!

That's all, Folks! Don't forget to send in your questions and comments. I'd still love to keep the posts going!

As Promised...

Here are my newest and truest faves, musically speaking:

I have been listening to a lot of oldies, and I don't mean 80's music. This includes a lot of Rosemary Clooney, and some Billie Holiday. I guess I've been in the mood for some jazzy, bluesy classics. I am now, and always will be, a sucker for Stevie Wonder. By this, I'm talking about anything done up until "I Just Called to Say I Love You". I'm talking about the funky stuff.

Aside from this, I've been catching up with some new albums. First of all, let me say that Dolores O'Riordan's solo work is fantastic. I've been really soaking up her unique vocals. Though still new this century , I've been enjoying Badly Drawn Boy's Have You Fed the Fish? (2002), and am so glad I heard "All Possibilities" before Target took hold of it and used it in an advertisement. This last year was great for music, as I've been listening to Blonde Redhead, Wilco, Spoon, Travis, and Tegan and Sara, who all put albums out during that time. I can't wait to see what this year has in store for us.

My guilty pleasures will always include pop and hip hop music. I generally stay away from the stuff, but I've adored The Streets, and Lady Sovereign. It's snarky British rap, so it's not for everyone, but I enjoy playing it loudly when I'm blue, and there's no one else around to make fun of me.

My favorite song to start the day? "Dry the Rain" by The Beta Band.

There's a lot more great music out there, however, I wouldn't have enough time or space to contain my thoughts on all of it. Look for some more musical highlights on here from time to time and I'll keep you in the good stuff. Deal?

What Are You Listening To?

I thought I'd turn the tables this week and seek your comments on the most played songs on your iTunes. What are you listening to that others might not know about? What are your guilty pleasure songs? Do you have a tried and true tune that you put on in the mornings to get your day started off the right way? Send me some comments, and I'll return the favor by sharing some of my faves with you.

Wow...

...do I have a lot of things to catch you up on!

Scrubs' Zach Braff posted a Myspace bulletin saying that if the Writer's Strike goes on much longer the show may not go on. He says "there is a good chance they will never be written or shot and the series finale will remain in the mind of our show's creator, Bill Lawrence..." NOOOO! (His dog is soooo cute!)

Who wants to go with me to Dallas to see Radiohead? The band has confirmed US cities they will visit on this tour.

Kimya Dawson, of Moldy Peaches and solo fame, has contributed to the Juno soundtrack. It is completely worth the listen.

Bono has designed a t-shirt for charity. No matter how tired I am of seeing him, I'm still proud of the humanitarian he's become.

Circle Cinema, here in Tulsa, is showing The Future is Unwritten, The Joe Strummer documentary.

More to come, so keep reading!

Been Awhile, Hasn't It?

I'm still riding the end of the 2007 wave, which means that I'm getting all my training in for the new job, and still working the part-time job to fill in my gaps. This essentially amounts to one more week of me coming home only to sleep and then I'll have some great updates for you. Please don't let me lose you, due to my crazy schedule. We'll be totally back on track by February!

The Wait is Over!

Your Hotties of the month are here! I had to take a small hiatus to complete a certification for my new job, (which I totally passed, btw), and now I'm here to bring you your monthly eye-candy! I'll admit, I've been watching some dvds I got for Christmas so in keeping with the TV theme from last month, I bring you...Hotties of the Month: House Edition!



Our first hottie hails from Melbourne, Australia. Come on. Who isn't a sucker for an accent? Jesse Spencer plays Dr. Robert Chase . Those of you hip to Aussie television drama may remember seeing him on the popular show Neighbours, with Natalie Imbruglia and Kylie Minogue. You can see him standing up for himself against the snarky Dr. House on Fox.











Our second hottie is a recent addition to the cast, Olivia Wilde. You may have seen her previously on the fabulous, but short lived, Black Donnellys. Good to see that she's back as 13 on this season of House. She rose through the ranks and avoided elimination, and hopefully she's here to stay. Don't forget to pick up The Black Donnellys on dvd. It is completely worth the money.






I'm off to enjoy the rest of my hard-earned day off. Send me some comments. I'm feeling a little forgotten!
