The Useless Critic 2.0

This is by far my favorite Flo song for the record. It crept up on me and swept me away, so gigantic and epic and over-the-top. It's hard for me to still hear it and not be a little blown away!  And in the dark,  I can hear your heartbeat, I try to find the sound,  But then it stopped,  And I was in the darkness,  So darkness I became. Let's GET IN A TIME MACHINE NOW. And let's step back to a few years ago, when this album came out, when I was falling in love with it/Flo/legs/redheads and falling in love really in general. This song defined that for me, that brief and a little joyous stitch of time. In a way, it was totally innocent. Almost the last of that kind of innocence for me....while I don't claim to be some impure Mae West-esque whore smoking on the side of the road, my mind and heart became clouded in later years. "Cosmic Love" was right at the brink of where this transformation took place. I remember sitting in poetry class and having this s...

Do you ever have the feeling that you're life is incomplete? Well, it is. Are there things that just drive you insane? Of course there are. QATFYG: What has the answers to all the problems? Could it be Jon Huntsman? Well, no one knows for sure, but if you have some official Jon Huntsman merchandise, your life will be better. He is running for president, and his numbers are kinda low...so throw the dog a bone and buy some of his products. On any presidential campaign, one must determine the formula success. Well, to Jon's credit, he is the only man running for president who has one. So you can sport that on this drawstring backpack, which bears Look Closely It reads H20 12. H20 12...formula for success ;) Do you wear clothes with Lapels? Well, you're in the right place with the H Lapel Pin Remember H is the first letter in Hero and Happiness. :) Go Jon. (Please disregard the fact that H is also the first letter in Herbert Hoover and Heil Hitler) Do you drink soda? Of course...

a new series Sears. Anywhere. Sarah Jessica Parker was not near a Sears.  This is because SJP is well aware the early 1900s are long over and one no longer goes to Sears to make a day. Thus, she probably spent the weekend at PRADA and GUCCI and BLOOMINGDALES and TARGET. maybe she bought scarves; maybe she bought perfume. She most definitely did not buy kneesocks. SJP was spotted this month wearing what appeared to be, to some knowledgeable outsiders, a discarded satellite dish. Word is that it may have belonged to Ashton Kutcher in his pre-divorce days. TEAM DEMI FTW

I am just finding this out myself. seriously, be careful out there....people get murdered off this website. I don't know why it's not more regulated- I mean, I guess it goes to show you a few bad apples can spoil the batch for everyone. recently I got myself into a terrible situation via this website. I was very naive about and I really don't want any potential readers to make the same mistake I did. just- if something sounds too good to be true IT IS.

Yes it's back! Lately things have been so traumatic that I just haven't had the energy nor guidance to do this. Those days, though, have come to a needed end. This song has lost the charming novelty since I first heard it. A bouncy, happy tune about the euphoria of really being in love. Really  being in love. And because you are that in love, being with the object of your affection is just as good as having a real, physical home. Having a home is an absolute necessity. Trust me, after a week of finding myself on the metaphorical skids, ugh. It's not something I'd really wish upon my worst enemy (James Franco). Moats & boats & waterfalls, alley ways & pay phone calls I’ve been everywhere with you That’s true We laugh until we think we’ll die, barefoot on a summer night Nothin’ new is sweeter than with you And in the sticks we’re running free like it’s only you and me Geez, you’re something to see. Another reason this song will always stick out to...

What is the number one show on Cable Television? If you’ve seen the opening credits to this one, you’ll know it’s “The O’Reilly Factor” featuring the lovely duck “Bill O’Reilly.” It’s been that way for years. Shows such as “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” and even the Kardashians score constantly rising ratings, but they can’t overtake the top spot from Bill O’Reilly. Where does this come from? What makes “The O’Reilly Factor” on Fox News so popular? Bill O’Reilly is an accomplished writer (in terms of sales), and he is also Harvard educated, holding an MA in Public Administration. However, that is no reason for his ratings to skyrocket. His show is filled with heated debates and fiery exchanges between conflicting ideologies, but almost every other show on the news networks has that approach. The show is also plagued with arrogance, annoying tones in the host’s voice, and not to mention egomania. How does this become and stay the number one show on cable? The simple answer to all of ...

Americans have a long-standing love of deep fried food. In fact, French Fries (or Freedom Fries depending on your outlook on life) are a symbol of the American diet. So it is only natural that there is a show devoted solely to the masters of fried food. Thanks to the lovely folks at Travel Channel, I was able to catch an episode of the show “Deep Fried,” which follows a master fry cook, Charlie Boghosian.. the famous "Chicken Charlie," working around fairs and traveling shows in California. To be honest, I have no idea if the show was a special or a running series. The program included the obvious, which were basic tips about working deep fryers. However, it got into some really interesting parts when the fry masters reveal the secrets to frying exotic items such as ice cream bars, cookies, and even Chinese rice cakes. Factoids always make shows like this interesting, such as noting that ice cream bars need to be placed in a -40 degree freezer to hold a cold enough temperatur...
