Guts and Glitter
I wish I had the guts. The glitter bomb is the latest thing to go crazy on the Internet and it is simply the perfect method for getting revenge. …

Decoding the Self
Some laughed at me when I told them I had purchased a DNA test via Groupon. …

Go Sports!
There’s a terrific episode of The Big Bang Theory where Penny allows Leonard to come over and watch football with her and her friends. Leonard, in case you don’t know, is a brilliant scientist who knows nothing about football, baseball, golf, rugby, hockey, cricket or probably even speed walking. He’s a geek. So he ruins the game by spouting general facts he learned from Wikipedia after plays are made. It’s a turnabout on sexual stereotypes and it’s funny. …
The First House
My Big Show cohost Blair and his girlfriend Laura recently bought their first house. It was Laura’s birthday so they combined that with a housewarming on the weekend and we got our first peek inside. It’s a gorgeous little place, all finished inside and decorated with Laura’s excellent taste. It’s located in a sought-after part of the city, too. They did very well. …
The Interview – Part 1
By now you’ve been unable to escape the hype, confusion and likely b.s. about the comedy, The Interview, and how it has supposedly raised the hackles of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Imagine, someone makes a movie centred on your assassination and you get upset! But I digress. Today I’m going to share the story of what I went through to see this film. It’s no wonder so many people of our generation can’t be bothered with online purchases of this nature. …

Reality Bites in my (Ample) Butt!
Yeah, it’s that time. New year, new start. No more candy or junk food within my sight, please. It’s time to get to know more vegetables and reacquaint myself with the treadmill again, for more than just airing out clothing! …

Las Vegas City Sights
Day trips to landmarks famous and not so famous made our Christmas trip to Vegas a memorable one. Having visited virtually every hotel on The Strip on previous visits, we compiled a list of things we wanted to do and see in the city itself. The Strip is not the city! If you live in Las Vegas, you don’t go to The Strip, unless it’s to work or see a show that’s new in town. Â …

Leaving Las Vegas
There were Elvi – the plural of Elvis. There were gamblers and drunks and hookers and sugar daddies and Lamborghinis and whoo-hooo girls and guys out on a tear. That’s Las Vegas for you, but it’s not the Vegas we went to see over Christmas. …

Bringing Back the Heat
Not a lot of women like to talk about menopause. Scratch that. They don’t like to bring it up. Once the topic is introduced, they can’t stop talking about it! I’m trying to see it as a positive thing, like Raj in the Big Bang Theory did when he described it as, “nature’s birth control”! Â …

This Boot is Made for…Storing Until the Next Injury!
The aircast came off this week and I took my first tentative steps with a free foot. It’s not ready for the treadmill yet and it won’t go into a high heel but it’s a lot better than before the boot. …

Mondays. Bah! Humbug!
I don’t like to be one of those people who doesn’t like Mondays. But I am and I have to admit it. For me, it’s got to do with the switchover from sort-of normal person on the weekend to early-morning-starting, midday-napping, early-retiring person during the week. …

My Left Foot Part Deux
So I told you a couple of weeks ago about my fall and showed you photos of the festive colours of my foot. But there’s more! After aching and staying swollen, one day, it took a turn. The ache turned into a stab and I knew something was wrong. …
