October 13th, 2011 - Writing Wednesday; Hats Off to Lisa; Walmartian of the Week

Okay, well last week I published my “Writing Wednesday” on Friday, so at least I’m a bit closer this time. Once again, time hasn’t allowed me to do too much by way of the written word, and so I can use all the help I can get…

Rihanna tops Madonna as fastest female to reach 20 top tens

At just 23 years of age, Rihanna has broken a record set by Madonna for the fastest female ever to reach 20 top ten hits on the Billboard charts with her latest, “We Found Love.”

There’s lots of new stuff this week, including an innovative and interactive new set by Bjork, Joe Jonas’ debut solo album, a long-awaited Evanescence, and lots more.

Chicken Spinach Meatballs

This one’s a rare recipe from me, and it’s easy, healthy and delicious!



Hats Off to Lisa!

I had wanted to do a piece on my friend Lisa’s salon, Hats Off, which celebrated its second anniversary yesterday, but like with all of my other writing, time just got the best of me. Anyway, Lisa is my friend who I reconnected with recently since she recognized me from 2nd grade religion class, and I’ve been going to her shop for the past couple of months.

Technically, Hats Off is a barbershop, but only in name. The place has more of a salon look and feel to it than your traditional white-jacketed, barber pole kind of place, and Lisa and her crew do an awesome job doing men’s cuts. AllBusiness.com did a piece on the shop when it first opened, which you can check out here.

So if you happen to live in the South Shore Long Island area and are looking for a great new place to get your haircut, then give Hats Off a try! The shop is located at 606-B Montauk Highway in Bayport, a little bit east of Broadway Avenue.

Walmartian of the Week

And we finish off this post with our weekly Walmartian. I don't know about you, but I'd be afraid to run into this one in the middle of the night!

September 20th, 2011 - Walmartian of the Day; Still Hurting: A Reunion?!?!

The time is running late and here I am once again at my pc, working feverishly to get stuff out there. I’ve got so many articles in my head and not enough time to write them, which is so frustrating, especially since I didn’t have the same ideas over the summer when I was off. Oh well, we do what we can, right?

Walmartian of the Day

I just got an idea for a new feature, which won’t be daily, but it’ll show up often enough. It’s inspired by my good friend Dita, who’s always sending me these “Walmartian” emails…you know, the ones showing real Walmart shoppers, truly ugly Americans looking for a bargain. They always give me a good chuckle, so I thought I’d share. Here’s the first one, which speaks for itself!


Ain't that America?

Still Hurting

I think that this time I really did it with the fall I took on Saturday. The pain is much worse than last time and in two different places, no less. My tailbone, which I think I hit squarely on the lower step, makes it hard for me to sit, and my mid-back area seems to be the place that’s killing me even more. Laughing, coughing, sneezing, and practically everything else leads to shooting pains that make me want to scream!

The worst part of it all is that it happened this week. I just told you last week about all of the good stuff I was looking forward to and I think that some of them may have to be cancelled, most notably “Out at Night” at Great Adventure. Somehow I don’t think that riding scream machines will do anything to help my back! That sucks!

A Johnny – Kona Reunion?!?!

I believe, though I am still not absolutely positively sure, that my old friend, Kona is coming for a visit. In fact, she may be here already. She shot me a message last week on Facebook telling me that she was coming to NY (she lives in Colorado) this week. Kona and Johnny Driver worked together Johnny’s first year at Wellington’s and they had one of the greatest summers ever! Johnny misses his Kona and he’s hoping to catch her in the city on Thursday night for some dinner and maybe a trip to Splash. At least taking the day off for roller coasters won’t be that much of a waste! I can’t wait, although I haven’t heard from her so I don’t know where she is at the moment.

Til next time...Have a great Hump Day!
