Friday Favorites: May Day, May Day!

May 19, 2017 By AJ 1 Comment

This week in the news, Trump is shouting to anyone who’s listening (or reading his twitter dribble) that he feels remarkably persecuted — the most hated and hunted President ever, he believes. Let’s not ask Lincoln and Kennedy how they feel about that verdict.

I am proud to announce that I am NOT being investigated by a special prosecutor. So I’m winning at life.

Anyway….

Friday Favorites

WHAT I READ

  • Did anyone else read “Where’d You Go Bernadette” by Maria Semple? I enjoyed it and was excited to hear they’re making it into a movie — and the casting thus far is perfection.
  • I have been following this year’s TV Upfronts with vigor. Oddly, not many new shows I am excited for this Fall, but I think there will still be a couple big winners.
  • Someone shared this with me — “The 100 Most Iconic Dogs in Movies“. I looked through every. single. one.

Friday Favorites: May Day, May Day! / Tom Hardy in "The Drop"

OTHER BLOGGERS & INFLUENCERS

  • Carolyn posted a recipe for S’mores Parfaits. When I read it, I literally shouted out loud, “SOLD!”
  • Jessica keeps saying she’s retired from blogging. She is a lying liar who lies. Also, she is insightful about important subject matters
  • Chris reviewed a diaper bag that I maintain would be an excellent bag for a working professional who travels a lot. I kind of want a diaper bag, guys.

EARLIER THIS WEEK

  • I attended this great panel at the TV Academy called “Unstoppable Women.” It showcased amazing female talent working with the Lifetime channel. And then I met Constance Zimmer, who could not have been nicer. She is one of my favorite actresses. I was THRILLED!
  • I attended the Grand Opening of the new Fresh Brothers in Burbank. I’m ECSTATIC they opened one in delivery distance to my home! I’ve been very patient and now I’ve been rewarded. Thank you, FB, (P.S. Click over to their site and sign up for their club so you get 10% off every order!)

Fresh Brothers’ artichoke chicken pesto pizza – it’s amazing.

VIDEO SPOTLIGHT

  • Harry Styles and Niall Horan (formerly of One Direction) are giving their solo careers the hard core press this week. I’m not gonna lie to you — it ain’t bad stuff if you like pop music like I do.
  • I discovered a short film I loved. I never think about watching short films but I saw this filmmaker speak at the aforementioned panel and it’s GREAT.

Coming off the @TelevisionAcad panel last night I immediately rented @GertShap‘s #SequinRaze on @Vimeo. SO. AWESOME. https://t.co/rBZ6JlxqXJ

  • Stephen Amell (“Arrow”) tackles the American Ninja Warrior course for “Red Nose Day” and nails it, obviously.
  • I’ll just conclude “Friday Favorites” with this. Chris Cornell’s best acoustic performances. He was magnificent and I am sad.

What’s in my Pocket Friday – In the year 2000!

April 8, 2016 By AJ Leave a Comment

Sort of a metaphorical “pocket” I’m exploring today….

rp_Pocket_Fridays-1024x389.jpg

I was organizing some drawers in my bedroom last night (isn’t that what everyone does at 12:30 when they can’t sleep?) and found a very old diary. And then I was up til 2 AM reading through it. (I am a genius at curing insomnia, apparently.) I purchased it in 2000 in the gift shop of “Il Duomo di Firenze” (The Cathedral of Florence) when I lived there for a semester and documented my life in it for many years afterward (the last post in it is dates 1.3.09).

On one page, I created and filled out my own survey of, well, myself. I wrote: “It will be so fun to look at this in 10 or 15 years to see if I still like the same things.” And it was. In the year 2000, this is what I wrote:

  • Favorite Color: Purple
  • Favorite Meal: Caesar Salad w/ grilled shrimp, side of fries
  • Favorite Music: Counting Crows, Blink 182, Eminem, *NSYNC, Garth Brooks, The Who
  • Favorite Actors: Tim Robbins, Kevin Spacey, Christian Bale, Allison Janney, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Ed Norton, Al Pacino, John Cusack, Joan Allen, Diane Keaton
  • Favorite Movies: Grosse Pointe Blank, The Usual Suspects, Playing by Heart, American Beauty, The Godfather, High Fidelity, Tombstone, Mallrats
  • Favorite Sports Teams: NY Yankees, LA Kings
  • Current Favorite TV Shows: The X-Files, Boston Public, Sex & the City, Will & Grace, ER, Friends, The Practice, The West Wing, Law & Order, Six Feet Under, Ally McBeal
  • Favorite Books: To Kill a Mockingbird, American Psycho, HIgh Fidelity, About a Boy, Fight Club
  • Random Obsessions: The Brat Pack, Michael J. Fox, Tigger, the Internet, Awards Shows, Puppies
  • Hobbies: Collages, building websites, postcard collecting, writing, scrapbooks
  • Celebrity Nemesis: Kate Hudson

And now? Well, much of this we know but just to sync up….

  • Favorite Color: Purple
  • Favorite Meal: Sushi or a great burger with a side of fries
  • Favorite Music: Boy Bands, Garth Brooks, The Who, Sam Hunt, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran
  • Favorite Actors: Kevin Spacey, Allison Janney,  John Cusack, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep, Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Sam Rockwell, Patrick Stewart, Matt Bomer, Tom Hardy
  • Favorite Movies: Grosse Pointe Blank, The Usual Suspects, Tombstone, Charade
  • Favorite Sports Teams: NY Yankees, LA Kings
  • Current Favorite TV Shows: Law & Order SVU, @Midnight, Outlander, The Flash, Arrow, The Blacklist
  • Favorite Books: To Kill a Mockingbird, American Psycho, High Fidelity, Yes Please
  • Random Obsessions: Boy Bands, Brunch, Tigger, Awards Shows, Puppies
  • Hobbies: Blogging, postcard collecting, writing, cleaning out my drawers in the middle of the night (apparently)
  • Celebrity Nemeses: Kate Hudson, LL Cool J

I am both delighted and appalled that not much has changed. 😉

What's in my Pocket Friday -- In the year 2000....!

What’s In My Pocket Friday

March 5, 2016 By AJ Leave a Comment

 

Work has been crazy-busy this week and when I’m not working, all I wanna do is sit and stare at the TV. And eat. Luckily I have a bag of carrot sticks otherwise my emotions would taste like Milano cookies this week.

I’ve been going to bed at crazy hours — and by “crazy” I mean 9:30 and 10:00. A chronic night owl, I’m usually lucky to be asleep by midnight.

But it’s Friday and I love Fridays because it’s “Shark Tank” night! And I have time to do this:

What's In My Pocket Friday

  • Ben Carson dropped out of the race. Did anyone care?
  • Someone is opening a “Museum of Broken Relationships” in Los Angeles. I think I could contribute to their inventory….
  • I bet you didn’t know you wanted a fox as a pet, did you?
  • Caroline on Crack wrote a great list of Oscar dress inspired cocktails – I love it!

What's In My Pocket Friday

  • Speaking of Oscars, they were pretty lousy in my opinion. That whole Stacy Dash thing? HORRIBLE.
  • But I did enjoy Tom & Leo. Leo & Tom. They are my new favorite bromance.

What's In My Pocket Friday

  • Is it weird to include someone else’s Friday post in my own Friday post? I really liked Chris’.
  • Anne has been especially crafty these days. You should be following her.
  • Do you Snap? I love Snapchat. I’ve really found my groove with it — especially during the GOP debates where the candidates are essentially bickering children. I’ve been adding filters and funny accessories to the candidates. Add me and here’s a lil’ demo:

Earlier this week….

  • I finished “Ready Player One” and it’s fantastic. A must-read.
  • I started Mindy Kaling’s second book, “Why Not Me?” and I love it already.
  • I reviewed a new brunch spot.
  • Oh, and HEY! Did you hear? I LAUNCHED A NEWSLETTER!
