Will Japanese Virtual Performers Hurt the Music Industry?

I love the Japanese and all their innovations, but are their virtual music stars too much for the music industry? Their first virtual pop star was Hatsune Miku, who is actually a hologram performs to screaming fans across the country in sold-out arenas. Even in the United States her concert in San Francisco was sold out last year and I for one wish I had been there.…

Is John McCain Always in a South Park Frame of Mind?

Being a huge fan of the Comedy Central show South Park I am always amused when they blame Canada for everything. Knowing it’s a tongue in cheek parody of us folk to the north, I never take it seriously. Even if they do blame Canada in their minds I know that Trey Parker and Matt Stone realize that it's a joke. But in a “what the hell moment” I am wondering if John McCain thinks twice about what he…

Dreams From the Grand Canyons of My Mind

I dreamt last night that I was flying through the Grand Canyons of my mind.  I saw the ridges that took me years to climb and have learned that life is nothing really but black and white.

I followed the river and remembered the pain it took to crawl out of the water before I nearly drowned. I almost died waiting for a sign that wasn't really ever there. …

Weird and Wacky Wooden Woman Wows Widower

In one of my favourite movies, Weekend at Bernie’s Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman drag their dead boss around the Hamptons so no one would find out he was dead.

Heh, wasn’t Andrew McCarthy also in that 80’s movie called“Mannequin” with Kim Cattrall?

Could any of this happen in real life?

Last fall while driving down Erie Blvd in Syracuse, New York I saw these two and thought that the man had made some sort of scarecrow for his garden.…

Admitting you are Annoying, Cloying, Overdone & Other Things

This is dedicated to family and friends so that they might understand my continued pursuit of happiness. Bigger and better is not always the right choice sometimes. I try to put aside my rightness in most situations now to get a better perspective on things. Some people never ever get it and I was almost one of them.



Yesterday I got an email from someone saying that some people find me annoying, cloying, and overdone, amongst other things. I did not know if that was supposed to…

Fake Orgasms - Becoming First Lady of the Theatre

I was born in 1951 and sex was a pretty taboo subject in those days. In fact I heard my grandmother tell my very sick mother not to worry if she could only have limited sex. Grammy kept repeating that sex was only for “baby making” anyways. There was no sexual education in High School as the school board frowned upon it, and health movies issued very little on the subject. The only sexual information I had when I got married at 21 was from my father’s girlie magazines he hid in his bottom…

Mummy, Can I Have Boobs for My Birthday?

When I turned 7 I received my first china tea set and my next door neighbour made me a birthday cake in the shape of a swan. All my friends were there in pretty voile dresses and we skipped our hearts out after we ate. No one ever talked about body image or asked their parents for implants. If the word "plant" came up it was most likely talk about our parent’s gardens. When we received our first bra it was a ritual done in secret and not to be talked about. Well, things are all different…

Safety For Lawn Ornaments Now Critical!

Friday I was sent subject tags to write a news article for another site. To tell you the truth I found the links boring and was not inspired to write. After I read a brief news story that was not on their list, I decided to blog about it and then sent it in.  By 2 pm that little news story I had submitted at 10 am was number 7 on the “Yahoo Trending List”. My rendition however was still sitting in their pending section. Silence and hours of pending to me meant that they had no interest in…

The Last Fatal Duel that Danielle Steel Never Wrote About

What can it be that makes me sad?

I surely can't be turning mad,

And yet, indeed tis very plain,

I am in love, let me think again,

It cannot be for love is bliss,

Not a heart rending thing like this,

Tis true there's one bewitching being,

And one whom I can scarce help seeing,

Who makes me everytime we meet,

Pain to say something wondrous sweet,

 …
