Friday Favorites: A Rumbly in my Tumbly

November 16, 2018 By AJ Leave a Comment

The last couple weeks have been, quite frankly, very dark and terrible. And I will address some of the reasons why in a later post but for now, I choose to move on and celebrate more joyous things. The little things. It’s the WEEKEND! Happy Friday! Not to steal anything from “Game of Thrones” (which I don’t want anyway), but WINTER IS COMING and I could not be happier. Break out the sweaters, scarves and boots, guys. I am READY. It’s got me in a better mood. Walking the dog in this cooler weather makes me smile. And speaking of joy, shall we also delve into the Friday Favorites? Here we go….

WHAT I READ

I finished a fun mystery novel called Crisis . I don’t usually read books like this but it was a lot of fun to try something new. I enjoyed it a lot. Then I started Sally Field’s autobiography which has been full of surprises thus far.
A friend of mine forwarded me a couple political articles this week that were excellent reads. If you’re inclined and have a few minutes, check these out:
- From The Atlantic: “How to Salvage Congress.”
- From The Concourse: “This is All Donald Trump Has Left.”

OTHER BLOGGERS & INFLUENCERS

This recipe from Lindsay at Fit & Awesome for a tasty and healthy “smash cake” is super cute. I know smash cakes are for babies but I want it.
Amanda (SUCH a great name, by the way), over at A Cookie Named Desire, compiled a stellar list of Hot Chocolate recipes and I’m down to try all of them.
I don’t buy a lot of movies anymore. I’m all about the streaming. But when I really love or cherish a flick, I do feel a need to own it so I will totally be buying Disney’s Christopher Robin. I had ALL THE FEELS watching that movie. Anyway, Wendy has all the deets on that release. Even though I am a Tigger fangirl, I thought Brad Garrett as Eeyore stole the whole movie. He had me laughing the mostest. (But really, I HEART TIGGER.)

PR & SOCIAL MEDIA

Here are five reasons why you should still be advertising on Facebook. (Consequently, I would also ask why you stopped?)
One of my favorite businessmen, Mark Cuban, touts why being nice is still a much-lauded, underrated trait in business.
Ice T has never had a bagel. EVER. It’s kind of the best thing that’s ever happened to Twitter. Enjoy.
And now, some PR 101. How to do a public apology by Saturday Night Live:

EARLIER THIS WEEK

I hope you caught the third volume in my continuing series of guides to Millennial vocabulary for the old folks.
And, also, that you caught my guide to coffee shop etiquette. I am here to help.
Someone sent me this list of amazing, “ugly,” Hanukkah sweaters. Wanna guess which one I bought?

VIDEO SPOTLIGHT

AAAAAAAAAH!!!! Do you know who I LOVE? I mentioned this…. I love TIGGER. And I love seeing Jim Cummings doing that voice in person. He delighted me immensely singing the Tigger theme in this interview:

James Corden’s most famous segment is probably Carpool Karaoke, which I enjoy, but I also LOVE his “Spill Your Guts” segments. His duel with Jon Hamm was hysterical:

Lazy Sunday Musings

November 7, 2016 By AJ Leave a Comment

The internet is always there for me in times of need.

I suck at lazy Sundays. But I excel at the internet. Enjoy these lazy Sunday musings.

Today was a struggle because even at this age, I am still trying to learn how to relax. It infuriates me that when presented with a much-needed day of sitting still, it takes me about nine hours to finally find some calm. Until then, or rather until now, I’ve passed the time dozing off on the couch, watching TV, playing games (mostly Doge 2048), surfing the web, working, and resisting a very exciting bag of Lays potato chips. Enjoying very little of it and wracked with guilt over nine million other things I should have been doing and chastising myself for not finding serenity.

I know you’re all super jealous of my glamorous life.

My weekend’s really been lovely overall, though. I had a wonderful brunch yesterday (not to worry – more on that coming soon) and I saw Doctor Strange, which I highly recommend. Tips: See it in 3-D, sit through the entire credits.

Also, if you love stand-up specials like I do, I also highly recommend “Pete Davidson: SMD” from Comedy Central, which I caught on demand yesterday afternoon. (Anyone wanna guess what “SMD” stands for?)

This blew my mind this morning during some web-surfing. Just watch. I spent quality time trying to figure out how this is even accomplished but then my brain started to hurt.

All the while, by the way, in the back of my mind I keep hearing this nagging voice chanting “THE ELECTION IS TUESDAY.” I’ve grayed out as much of the day as I can so that I can pop Xanax and sit in front of the television, digging my nails into the armrests. That’s healthy, right? We all know how I feel about this election and I’ll spare you any proselytizing. If you read this blog and know me, you likely don’t need it anyway. But I’ll confess to everyone now that I have a really bad feeling about how this is gonna go and I know I’m not alone. So let’s all just pray, meditate, send out that positive energy — whatever get you through.

Anyway…. I have a few hours left of this day and now, finally feeling a little more chilled out, I’m going to make the most of it.

What’s In My Pocket Friday

The Best of the web

I save things in my pocket all week long and look forward to sharing the highlights with you every Friday!

Pocket enables users to save something they find online for later. I find it especially handy as a Google Chrome extension — I only have to click a button to immediately save something to my pocket. Once something is saved, the content is visible on any device — phone, tablet, computer, and even offline.

Neville Longbottom is winning at life.
David Letterman retired. Great last episode but I’m not gonna lie about it — I’ve never been a huge fan of his. But again, great final episode. And the Foo Fighters crushed it.

The Ethical Thinker explains why she abandoned her popular social media profiles.
I very much enjoy Jason Derulo’s new single.
Do you know who Pete Davidson is? He’s the youngest SNL cast member — he just celebrated his 21st birthday, in fact. The other night he spontaneously live tweeted a Harry Potter movie and it was fantastic. Entertainment Weekly ended up covering it but I felt pretty cool having discovered it in real time.

Draco tried to rat out Harry and the gang for goin to Hagrids but ended up getting detention as well. Professor McGonagall is a true G.

I seem to keep finding blog posts about why blogging is cool. Or why not blogging is ok. I liked this one from Chronicles of Nothing, too.

Here are 49 reasons why “Center Stage” is the best dance movie ever. It’s a compelling argument. I love that movie.

Earlier this week…

I broke down public relations, marketing and adveritsing

I discovered a new vodka brand.

My friend let me come over and play with her new kittens.

OH COME ON! #Allofthecute #catsofinstagram #kittens 😻😻😻 A photo posted by AJ (@ajfeuerman) on May 17, 2015 at 4:08pm PDT
