There’s a reason There’s Your Karma has a tag for “quarter-life crisis.” While I’ve been cringing at that term nowadays, there’s no better moniker for these little pockets of restlessness that seem to pop up on an all-too-frequent basis. The pattern is always the same: I’ll settle into something in my life, follow my tail [...]
There’s Your Karma.

I heart the Canadians!
Damon’s a guy’s guy. He leaves the toilet seat up. He plays computer games that involve AK-47s. He smells sometimes.
So it may come as a surprise to you that he walked into the room just now, declaring: “I am going to show you why Canadian Idol is better than American Idol.” While most guys [...]
So good! So good! So good!
Neil Diamond reminds me of the early nineties, riding around in my mom’s oldsmobile. (Also on the Cutlass Supreme cassette deck: Streisand, Bolton, Dion.) I don’t mind him, really - he’s not someone I LOOOVE but I’ve been known to belt out the lady-part of “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers” from time to [...]
Things Said…
during Kristy Lee Cook’s performance of the schmaltzy Lee Greenwood ballad, “Proud to Be an American” during last night’s American Idol.
Jenn: “Are you fucking kidding me?”
Jenn: “…”
Jenn: “No way.”
Jenn: “This has to be fake.”
Jenn: “What, so this is supposed to get the red-state vote?”
[five seconds later]
Jenn: “Oh my God, this girl’s a genius.”
Damon: “Why?
Jenn: “Freedom [...]
C’est La TV
I caught NBC’s Quarterlife Tuesday; I kind of liked it.
I have no idea why…
it was about a twenty-something blogger going through a quarter-life crisis.
Smirk.
Part if it was like watching my own life play out, except I’ve never had the urge to punch myself in the face so many times. (The main character is kind of [...]
Jenn’s House
I love my family. I love them so much, that I am making them Thanksgiving dinner, which I’ve determined involves five 8-oz bars of cream cheese, which makes you think I actually hate my family. Depends on how you look at it.
ANYWAY, if I could be born into any other family, it would have to [...]
OMG…
Finally, a show for my choir friends.
(Aaaand you can all mock me when they have a marching band version of this show.)
Paging Steinem!
I’ve watched like, two eps of America’s Next Top Model (also known as “Top Mod” among my girlfriends) this season. Every year, they always have one or two plus sized models. Even if they don’t take the best photographs, you always root for them, because it’s always gratifying to watch a full-figured woman who oozes [...]
Project Runway remains unaffected, and that’s all that matters.
They say (and by “they,” I mean the one article that I read) that the writer’s strike in Hollywood may lead to a delay in putting Lost on the air — possibly until 2009.
Which sucks. And then I remembered that I can’t remember a damn thing about what Lost is even about anymore.
MAKE IT WORK!
I put this picture of Tim Gunn on my bulletin board at work.
…makes me feel like if he’s always watching over me, I will be sure to produce my best work.
Dear Mark Philippousis,
I don’t know how you sucked me into Age of Love. It was probably the same thing that got me, who hates sports, avidly watching tennis in the nineties… your rugged good looks…. Your aussie accent…. Your ridiculously bushy eyebrows. Also, that there’s nothing else on, on primetime Monday nights. Regardless, as I was reminded at every break, you [...]
Couch Potato Season
American Idol is ridiculous this season. I definitely don’t have a standout favorite, like the OMG McPheever of ‘06. I kind of dig “beatboxer guy” and “rocker chick,” but can anyone explain to me how SANJAYA squeaks through every week?! Who keeps voting for him?! Ey yey yey!!! (Oh Snap. Apparently, Howard Stern and fans are [...]

You know, we live in a really safe apartment complex.
Hell, I used to live on the west side. Next to a halfway house.
Obviously an upgrade there.
But I am pretty sure that out of the eight apartments in building “C”, there are two cases of really bad, possibly abusive, relationships.
Maybe they are just loud talkers and [...]
And now, the superficial…
I’m getting all of this out now, in one entry.
– Who cares about this shit, but seriously: “Katie Holmes has turned down a $2 million deal to star in the sequel to ‘Batman Begins’…Katie has instead signed up to star alongside Queen Latifah in the comedy ‘Mad Money’. The movie - to be directed [...]
