Top Ten Reasons to Buy My New Book!
After a year of work (well, a couple of months of crazy late nights, a lifetime of obsessive fandom and many many calls to my editor), Star Trek The Book of Lists came out in November. I’ve been swamped with other projects and the holidays, but I would be remiss to not do a […]
15 Days of ONJ – Tied Up
I know I am skipping around the ONJ timeline a bit. Still, “Tied Up” is one of my all-time favorite songs. It came out on her Greatest Hits, Volume 2 album as one of two new songs. I’d hoped to hear it in concert when I saw her in Charlotte, but she didn’t sing it. […]
15 Days of ONJ – A Little More Love
Another one off of the Totally Hot album. While I liked “Deeper Than The Night” more when I was younger, this one grew on me. The no-win scenario is one we all faced (unless we’re Captain Kirk, of course) and I really love this song. Guest starring … Manny the Manequin and Grits The […]
15 Days of ONJ – Deeper Than The Night
I puttered around in junior high school, spending hours after school on rust-orange shag carpeting playing records on a mammoth stereo in the living room … until finally one day, I got my own record player. Now, I could listen to my records in privacy. I’d lock the door to my room, huddle over the […]
15 Days of ONJ – Let Me Be There
The first two ONJ songs I remember were “Let Me Be There” and ” If You Love Me (Let Me Know)” which featured the bass backup vocals of Mike Sammes. While I loved ONJ, those background backup vocals ingrained both songs into my memory. I usually have to do these videos alone, but sometimes, with […]
15 Days of ONJ – Don’t Stop Believin’
I made this two days before the massacre. Like 9/11 for New Yorkers, I think Vegas dwellers will always split their lives into pre- and post- October 1. I don’t mean to equate the two in terms of damage, lives lost, etc. But you feel differently in a lot of ways after terrorism or disaster […]
15 Days of ONJ! – Look At Me, I’m Sandra Dee (Reprise)
I’m not sure why the first guy I was with insisted all gay guys have a diva. Perhaps in North Carolin in the early 80s, it was some unwritten, but mandatory gay law. Having no clue what gay was supposed to be like at the age of 15, I spent hours in his mom’s apartment, […]
Ten Funny Authors You Didn’t Know I Admired – No. 5 Will Shock You!
Hee hee hee, I do love me some internet clickbait. Number Five isn’t going to shock anyone I have ever met, unless you were some frat guy I was trying to sleep with in college and told you I loved watching baseball while we downed two six packs. In which case, you need a shock. […]
The Ten Things I Love Most About American Ninja Warrior
I am a more than a little obsessed with this show. It was crazy to hear some of my friends were, too. Since we live 7 miles from Mount Midoriyama (AKA the empty lot across from Mandalay Bay), a few years ago, we got audience tickets and saw some of the USA vs. The World […]
