Nick and Nora's Infinate Playlist

Last friday I went to the movies with S&SG to see Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist. It was super cute.

It's about two New York teens who end up thrown together one night. Hijinks and a love connection ensue with a rockin' soundtrack.

It's cute and quirky, and as S&SG claim, much better than the teen movies of our generation because everyone is imperfect. They're real. Not cookie cutter "imperfect" like say Rachel Leigh Cook in She's All That (a perenial fav of mine. I heart Freddie Prinze!)Plus, as wicked cool as Nora is, her BFF Caroline is a hoot, as is Nick's cute gay bandmates.

It's definately going to be bought as soon as it comes out on DVD. Plus, I finally bought a new DVD player, so I'll actually have something to watch it on.

New Keith Music

Keith's new single "Sweet Thing" will be released to radio on November 3rd, but those who belong to the Keith Urban Mobile Mob (like Moi) get to have a seek preview by calling in today (get more info here).

Also, his "Love, Pain, and the Whole Crazy World Tour LIVE" DVD comes out November 11th exclusively at Walmart, Sam's Club, and Walmart.com.

Keith on the Wii!

Check this out! Keith Urban will be a character in the new video game, "Celebrity Sports Showdown" for Nintendo Wii! It includes 12 different games where you can play as your favorite celebrity.

New Music

Kasey Chambers ("Not Pretty Enough", "Like a River", "Pony")has a new album out (It acually came out last week, but I've been so super busy I hadn't had a chance to give it a listen. Yea! Sub jobs!).

Rattlin' Bones is a collaboration with her partner Shane Nicholson. And the tracks I've heard so far are just fab! Be sure to give it a listen.

Damned TV

I miss my Bones. Apparently, I get super crappy reception of Fox and so even though my poor VCR got a workout, I couldn't actually view it. I guess I'm just lucky that the writer's strike was absolved in such a way that they're still posting full episodes on the 'net. Hopefully one of those converter box deals will solve this piddly problem.

Not that you care.

Bones Quote of the Week

Alright. I'll admit it's from last week, I haven't seen the episode, and I totally cribbed it from the recap on the website. BUT, it was the best line out of the previews!

"Bones, two guys at the same time, it's not right. I mean, that's why they invented dueling." -Booth

This Thing Called TV

I know this sounds stupid, but I miss my Tv. I used to watch it too much...but now I seem to spend no time at all in front of it, unless I'm over at S&SG's. Or unless Rachael is on. What can I say, I heart Rachael Ray.

Since television is making it's annual fall come back, I find that the only thing on that I still watch is Bones. And I've missed all of the new Bones episodes because it has moved once again from Tuesday nights back to Wednesdays. I think I have finally corralled it, and hopefully, my poor VCR will record it for me tonight.

Sunday night I had a chance to watch the boob tube and coincidentally caught the Sunday recaps of the CW Network's fall line up. While the CW does cater mostly to the high school set, it is the home to my beloved, Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, and Reba.

The new lineup includes an old fave, 90210 (I still haven't caught any episodes) and a show called Privileged, which stars JoAnna Garcia from Reba as a Yale grad back in her old stomping ground tutoring a pair of snobby sisters. While not as hyped as every one's favorite zip code, I think this show has the most potential of entering my "must see" list.

Stay tuned.
(LOL. I crack myself up.)

Working for a Living

I've been so incommunicado lately because I've been doing the working thing. Lots of hours have been put into the part-time job as we prepare for opening the new store (just three more weeks to go! I've been inside and let me just say...FABULOUS!) Also, I've picked up a couple of substituing days. I've decided that I don't hated 9th graders. I just do no enjoy the 2011 class at one of my school districts. They are mostly giant boogers that need to be wiped out. Or at least get a big tough love lesson in R-E-S-P-E-C-T from Miss Aretha herself.

Vote for YLGMS

I know it's everybody's favorite Keith song (Yes I'm talking to you Cuz and Eh). So get busy and vote it to the top of the video charts!



GAC lets you vote every 24 hours. Make the most of your insolmnia!

Keith Updates

There will be tons of chances to see Keith play this next week, especially on public broadcast television (yea me!).

Thursday, Sept. 4 - NFL Kickoff on NFL network live. Keith performs at approx. 4:30pm EST.

Friday, Sept. 5 - NFL Kick off on NBC prime time

Monday, Sept. 8 - CMA Festival on ABC prime time (This is being pre-empted to bring me the Vikes and Packers game. Yeah Vikes! Boo TV Programmers!)

Tuesday, Sept. 9 - Fashion Rocks on CBS prime time

Also, Keith collaborated with Brad Paisley on his new project Play on a song called "Start A Band." It'll be awesome to hear what happens when two fabulous guitar players jam together.

Summer Theme Song

Now that summer is almost over (it's true! I networked at school open houses last night so I can sub!) I'm admitting to jamming to Sheryl Crow's "Love is Free" from her Detours album all summer.

BTW the album is pretty good. Very social conscious which I expect from Sheryl. I love "Lullaby for Wyatt" and "Out of Our Heads." I also saw some of her clothing line on the Today show awhile back and the jeans are AWESOME!

After the Boxes its Party Time

Busy busy weekend coming up!

Firstly (I love saying that. Even if it's not, well, prolly not, good English and S&SG will make fun of me endlessly for using it) I gots to work. Go me!

Then, Hal the Hail Magnet will be making his way to me for the first time ever. It's like a giant blind date. But I hear he gets good gas mileage, so I suppose I can look over the fact that he was DAMAGED before I've even finished PURCHASING it.

That's followed up with a family reunion. Not just Daddy, lil sis, and me, but the whole paternal side enchilada. Most of whom I haven't seen in a loooong time. Other's it's been a month. So party all around.

We're Number One!

Woot! Well, "You Look Good In My Shirt" just hit #1 on the Country R&R chart. Congrats Keith.

Keith News Live From CMT.com

Keith Urban suffers from slipped Disc, but No Shows are Canceled

Hopefully, Keith will take it easy. I can't wait for Fashion Rocks and the NFL kickoff. I'm really hoping I'll be home to watch some football instead of at work. I missed so much of my football last year.

Top 5 Reasons Why Not Having a 9-5 Stinks:

1. People are amazed when you are awake before 10 am.

2. You can't pick up an easy thiry bucks refing a volleyball match because you were scheduled for a wonky 4-8pm work shift.

3. You need to make yourself a To Do list with a time table to make sure everything that needs to get done can happen BEFORE you need to leave for work.

4. Everybody is at work when you call then so you are left leaving insanely long voicemails that become jokes with their co-workers.

5. And finally, while it's okay to eat breakfast at 11am, eating dinner at 3:30 pm is just stupid.

Not Ironic, But Damn Unlucky

I would say that it is quite ironic (dontcha think) that the weekend after I put a down payment on a new-ish car (sight unseen by me but Dad approved. I hear it's purple) and brought it home, it was hailed on. I believe, "attacked by a maniac with a ball peen hammer" was the exact descriptive phrase used. But as everyone has made perfectly clear to Alanis, it is in fact not ironic, but quite a sucky coincidence. Here's hoping the insurance money will help me pay off the rest of my tab.

Woo-Hoo! It's Keith Concert Time.

Well, not exactly. But for your viewing pleasure (or more accurately, MINE) I give you the video for "You Look Good In My Shirt." While the track can be found on his sophmore album Golden Road, YLGIMS has been re-recored and released as a single to support his new concert DVD.

Dragging Plastic Sleds

For the past few weeks, when I stepped on the brakes, my rear brakes would make a noise that sounded a lot like I was dragging a plastic sled across gravel. So I promptly called up my favorite mechanic aka dad, and asked him about it. He would just, "hummmm."

Finally, I just came out and asked him:

"Is it my brake pads?"

"Probably."

"How urgent is it?" (as I look at the bleak endless abyss that is my rising debt and empty checkbook)

"Well, someday you're going to step on the brakes and keep going." (Which pretty much translates to NOW STUPID!)

So I check in with my other favorite mechanic, who's much more of a local. After a nice drive just missing rush hour traffic, being made fun of by guys who know my dad pretty well because I was lucky enough to just pay parts & not labor, and one great big hug, I headed home sans one hub cap that rode in the trunk. (damned fancy hub caps!)

I can now stop in peace.

Better Late...

I know I haven't posted anything at all about this season's Nashville Star contestants. It's not that I'm shunning it. I've just been lazy.

This week Tommy Stanley got booted and my thought was finally. At first he was fine, but I cringed through the entire "Save a Horse" performance and that's when I knew he was short lived.

I was shocked however by the Pearl Heart elimination. The girls perform really well together and have really blossomed under Jeffery Steele's mentorship. I hope good things happen for them.

My favorites are Gabe Garcia and Ashlee Hewitt. Gabe is starting to come out of his shell more, but seriously for me taking on SLY was hard. You know me and my Keith. And I have to admit that it blew me away Ash didn't know "Take the Money and Run." Seriously?!

Welcome Baby Urban!

Congratulations to Keith and Nic on the birth yesterday of Sunday Rose Kidman Urban.
