The 2006 Book List

I’m an avid fan of the “3 for 2″ bin at Border’s, and with the Border’s Rewards card, I am constantly getting coupons and discounts – so my book list is vast and seemingly never-ending. I’ve read about 51 books in 2006; mostly fiction, but a smattering of non-fiction here and there. I’m proud to [...]

The 2006 Movie List

I saw about 80 movies in 2006 (mind you, these are not “re-watches” otherwise this list would be miles longer) – quite a lot, but not nearly as many as I would have liked for two reasons: #1, because Hawaii is notorious for simply not getting certain “limited release” movies in the theater, and #2, [...]

The Christmas Post

Like everything about this year’s holiday season, my Christmas post is a few days late. Sue me… Despite the fact that we didn’t put up the tree or even a single twinkle light this year and the fact that I waited until Christmas morning to do my Christmas dinner grocery shopping (I apologize to the [...]

Happy Festivus

Frank Costanza: Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way. Cosmo Kramer: What happened to the doll? Frank Costanza: It was destroyed. But out [...]

Merry F*@#ing Christmas

Turns out that our country’s leaders are trying to decide right now if their Christmas present to the theFrog family is going to be a big giant “Fuck You” or not. Supposedly, we’ll know by Friday, but when you consider the current administration’s Middle East policies, I think it’s a safe bet to start bending [...]

Ms. Grinch

I am soooo not in the mood for Christmas. At all. Not even a little bit. I’ve gotten NO baking done. I’ve managed to put up the stockings, but no tree. I’ve not done the cards. And shopping? Don’t even start with me about the shopping. Seems every year I start out with these great [...]

Ornaments

Sadly, I didn’t turn out to be the Christmas Pickle… oh well. You Are a Tree You love every part of the holidays, down to the candy canes and stockings. And you’re goofy enough to put a Christmas tree ornament on your tree! What Christmas Ornament Are You?

The Queen of Cool?

I can’t decide if I’m the coolest person in the freakin’ world right now, or if I should cry for succumbing to obsolesence. If you don’t live on a dormant volcano floating in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, I should mention that tonight was the U2 and Pearl Jam concert. Yes, Pearl Jam opened [...]

Movies

Yes, another quiz… I’m outta content for this week. Your Movie Buff Quotient: 88% You are a movie buff of the most obsessive variety. If a movie exists, chances are that you’ve seen it. You’re an expert on movie facts and trivia. It’s hard to stump you with a question about film. Are You a [...]
