Friday Favorites: Falling Into Fall

September 29, 2017 By AJ Leave a Comment

Do you ever talk out loud while you type? I find that when I am alone at home, working on this stuff, sometimes I speak what I am typing out loud. It’s an old-lady type trait that at first angered me but now kind of makes me laugh. Anyway, just know that as I am typing this, I am saying it out loud to myself. Also, know I am super happy it’s Fall; I can’t wait for the weather to change. Mostly because the heat in Los Angeles lasts til October and my office doesn’t have air conditioning. But I digress!

Friday Favorites

WHAT I READ

  • As it is Fall, it is time for Gourds. This article about them from 2009 is HYSTERICAL. Side note: I made the mistake of covertly reading it during a meeting. And then I died laughing. (Luckily it was a casual group.)
  • When her employees go on vacation, Arianna Huffington DELETES THEIR WORK EMAILS. WOW. Who has the balls to do that? Well, I guess she does.
  • This great list of brunch spots in Santa Monica which made me think I need to do my own “Best Brunches in ________________” lists!
  • Looks like Obama’s chillin’ with Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. You know what those guys are thinking, right? “Not my monkeys, not my circus.”

OTHER BLOGGERS & INFLUENCERS

  • A Cookie Named Desire’s recipe for Brown Butter Banana Cake with Brown Butter Frosting. Because REASONS.
  • I’m super into protein pancakes, believe it or not. I love Beyond Frosting’s Banana Walnut Protein Pancake recipe — although for me, I’d have to omit the walnuts.
  • And since I seem to be on this random, massive banana kick here, how about this amazing looking chocolate chip banana bread from What’s Gaby Cooking?

EARLIER THIS WEEK

  • I wrote a review of Hollywood’s 800 Degrees Pizzeria. It’s delicious! And I’m giving away a $25 gift card!
  • The Valley Film Festival let me talk to a room full of filmmakers about “The Fine Art of PR for Indie Film.” I don’t know what they were thinking. But if you want to listen to me talk too much and name drop, click here.
  • Megyn Kelly’s daytime talk show launched on NBC. Jane Fonda had a rather compelling reaction when Kelly asked her about her plastic surgery….

VIDEO SPOTLIGHT

  • I can’t say I know anything about Ugandan politics but boy does their Parliament throw down. An all-out brawl broke out — click to 2:30 if you don’t want to wait, but the crescendo’s not bad either.

  • HBO has scheduled the Spielberg documentary for October. I’m pretty excited. What’s your favorite Steven Spielberg movie?

What’s In My Pocket Friday

August 12, 2016 By AJ Leave a Comment

Best of the web

Greetings, everybody! I went to two conventions and on one vacation in just the last week so I am a tired, tired lady, but I am also really excited about my next trip — this coming Wednesday! August is insane. Work is insane. I AM INSANE. 😉 But anyway, I had a moment of clarity and suddenly felt twitchy to get a blog post up. And here is the “Best of the Web” I’ve saved in my “pocket” throughout the madness:

What's In My Pocket Friday

 

  • OH MY WORD THE OLYMPICS. Why am I crying so much this year?
    • Every time there’s an Olympics, I put together a moving photo tribute. Check it out.
    • Just going on record to say that even though I love the games, NBC’s coverage just blows. Get yer shit together, NBC.
    • Gold Medal gymnast Simone Biles has a life-sized Zac Efron cut-out. I am jealous.
    • This new Under Armour commercial with Michael Phelps gives me ALL THE FEELS! (For added fun, check out the video of his and his fiancee’s reaction to seeing it for the first time.)

  • The wicked geniuses at Cards Against Humanity are selling special expansion packs. One for Hillary, one for Donald. All proceeds go to Clinton’s campaign so I do not care which one you buy.
  • LAist published a list of the best brunch patios in Los Angeles and it’s a FANTASTIC list. It includes my most favorite brunch spot (Cliff’s Edge) and the one I am currently the most eager to try (Terrine).

What's In My Pocket Friday - Best of the Web

  • I saw “Suicide Squad” and it’s legitimately one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. There is about an hour of exposition, we get backstory on some characters and not others, the plot is terribly constructed, the climax is not even that climactic, some of the acting is terrible, and so on from there.  The Hollywood Picture News touched on it.
  • Social Media Club’s August event is going to be a lot of fun! We’re having a debate between in-house, freelance and agency positions. Whose team will you side with? Register here.

Earlier This Week….

  • I wrote a post about some new brunches I love.
  • I recapped BlogHer 2016, which both sucked and didn’t suck.
  • My family lived in a “Manor” and it was awesome. And now I need a vacation to recover from my vacation.
