OF STREAMING/KESHA/YOU-TUBERS&TYPE 42...

Wew - we have lots to cover! This week was bananas! but then again you probably heard this from me before. Lets go in order of Post title appearance, shall we.

• Lol, at the bullets! Streaming: am I the only one that has an urge to turn off the 60" TV in order to live stream on my I-phone ? Case in point @girlsHBO  & #toghetherness. I felt like I was actually cheating on my phone! So I uncomfortably watched both shows but then went back to streaming. Why? because when I stream I catch the details, and put my headphones on too. Feeling "closer" to the show. hehe cray cray I know.
• The artist formally know as Ke$ha now +KeshaRose , everything started w/ the purchase of one song All that Matter (its a Beautiful Life) then I wanted to follow her on Twitter and had to actually Google what is Keshas twitter handle lmao she dropped the $ sign. Well dont ask me how I ended watching every single episode of her MTV show. (Well I still have some more to go) and yes streaming of course. Anyway, she is amazing, vocally , her personality is that of a 7 year old KKB w/ satchels of gold and gummie bears, unicorns and rainbows, with of fetish of bearded men. She actually went to the Bahamas and decided to take her best friend , camping! who does that? I really hope it was just for shows, because I'm sure she could afford a resort. I hope so. A++ on the show and music
• You-Tubers: well hmmm lets see after being told by my 12 year old that I'm older than dirt because I was born BEFORE the internet, I snapped back saying that I have my own You-Tube account, thank you very much. So Millenials in my family basically know us old folks as A.I. (after the Internet) or B.I. (before the Internet).Yesterday a couple of You-Tubers interviewed POTUS, were they sitting in kid chairs? I appreciated the fact that the White House took the time to sit down w/ them and they did have some very interesting questions, bam! they were intense! 
• Finally, OMG , was reading New York Mag latest issue and creepy creepy creepy spread on this book that will be coming out on February 24th . Written by Anonymous! Yep you have to see these polaroid pics. The title is Type 42: Fame Is the Name of the Game. Description according to Amazon: In spring 2012 artist Jason Brinkerhoff (born 1974_yes before the internet) discovered a collection of around 950 black-and -white Type 42 Polaroids featuring head shots and intimate close-ups of actresses taken from the tv screen beginning in the late 1960's. The origins of the series-and, most notably, its creator-remain entirely mysterious, their author's only trace being scribbles of actresses names and dates on the Polaroids' edges. Ok stop right there, when you actually see these photographs they (New York Mag) suggested that the photographer may be male, umm ya think? I was so scared, and disturbed I couldn't sleep. This guy portrays these beautiful women , in the most intimate way, in bath tubs,etc. I think they (the actresses were close to this psycho) It scared the crap out of me. Especially seeing Sophia Loren / Bridget Bardot in that light. And whats with the measurements scribbled on top? and that hand-writing at the bottom of each pic. I have goose-bumps.I am telling you this guy was Manson-like taking these pics. But will let you know what I really think if I can get a copy. So far I am hiding under the bed.

Boo!

OF SNIPERS & SUBSCRIPTIONS...

#rip Chris-WE LOVE YOU

So American Sniper the Movie is out in theaters today, and American Sniper the book (Memorial Edition) is on my nite stand and I've only made it to the Chapter where they just assigned Chris to be a Sniper. Gasp if I am going to watch this movie by Monday, I have to become a hermit over the weekend. Bye bye visit to Anthropologie. Anyway today driving to work , I couldn't help thinking about how torn Chris must have been between being a Seal / sniper & hanging on to his relationship with his wife and kids.
It put into perspective to me , how my husband also struggled between a hobby of race car driving & his nagging wife and newborn.
Now I totally get it, but when he told me he was going to CA , I was upset, was pacing and we really really needed him to stay put. But just like Chris it was his calling and it was freaking strong, so strong that he died 3000 miles away from us. Alone.
How many things did we miss out, how many kids we could have had, how many more memories we could have , should have had. I notice I live with tons of anger because of all this frustration. That someone had to die at 38. I know exactly what Taya went / is going through. Don't forget Chris died early 2013,  my hubby died 10 years earlier. But it doesn't get easier. I just couldn't speak, stand up and speak before an audience, I couldn't even stand on my 2 feet when ppl were coming over to give me condolences.
To this day , I still believe I wouldn't have that strength. I'm proud of her , that she could get up there and say such a beautiful eulogy.
Yesterday, I fell in love, with a Quarterly Magazine!! @LaphamsQuart . Lapham's Quarterly is amazing, so many subjects that I am interested in. What caught my eye was a tweet regarding manuscripts actually medieval manuscripts and how the poor monks would write side notes
of weak ink and frigid hands. I have always been a huge fan of manuscripts , I remember visiting the Getty Museum in Santa Monica, California and walked straight into a Manuscript exhibit, of course nobody wanted to go in there with me. Boring, and rolling eyes is what I get from my party. But I love it. Of course I will want to subscribe and get every single back issue. Cause I'm anal like that. Actually there is a phobia / name for what I have: the fear of running out of reading material. Yep.
Also, yesterday I came across a wonderful new tweep! I totally recommend you guys subscribe to her You Tube Channel as well as follow her! Shout out to>> @pradaliz731_liz and her You Tube channel>> 4halex
 Tomorrow I signed up for a Boxing class at 10 a.m. I totally respect boxers, love their discipline, their reflex, it just a total body work-out. Of course , I will be totally exhausted after walking 6 miles, 2 strengh training classes back to back. Meaning 4 times this week I've worked out and with tomorrow that 5. Because I am on a quest to lose those stubborn 40 lbs. Will probably write about my gym chronicles progress on my next blog.

OF BIEBERS AND BRANDIS....

Of course Perez Hilton hit it right on the head when Mikey Marks wife said his 1992 Calvin Klein underwear ad w/ the infamous Kate Moss was better. First of all I dont think Mark was AS photo shopped as Justin, 2nd whats with all the tatts?? I like tatts but ughhh, and the bulge...

....don't get me started w/ how many folded socks were in there.
Has it been over 20 years since the original ad??? sick.
Anyway, I titled this Biebers and Brandis in plural , why ? because this Earth is populated by imitators and Rude people. Brandi has arrived to a new low, an unbearable, unjustified low. And Bravo of course loooooves this with passion.
Not to mention that I almost was revolted to find out that Tre is already being considered for an early release ...wtf.
Speaking of Perez, how cute was he on the Segway with his gay date, they were so adorable together, but awww no chemistry. I am so proud of Mario a.k.a Perez, hope he finds his true love.
And on a final note, speaking of Love, Tariji lead actress of the Hit Fox show EMPIRE ,IS SINGLE, and now I dont feel so bad about kissing my cat on New Years Eve, cause she told Wendy Williams that she kissed herself on New Years Eve .Booohooooo, single ladies cry together.
But actually I dont feel so bad, cause I love myself and as the Emily Post of Housewives Brandi says>> "I love my life"!!!! or was it BabyFace?

OF RUBIK'S CUBE & RESOLUTIONS...

LOVE THIS EXHIBIT

THIS CLIMBING CONTRAPTION ENDED YESTERDAY :(

HAPPY NEW BRIGHT & SHINY 2015!! and we started at the Liberty Science Center which I totally recommend you guys visit, besides the view there is tons to do! So we started bright and early 10 am for us nite owls and headed down the NJ Turnpike, and woah we had 2 good things going for us , no traffic, good weather & mommy had a cup of Java ... I know I said 2. Anyway, line for checking bags is the first to greet you, I asked if I had to take my shoes off. It was the last day to climb inside the above right maze, so of course in our true curious fashion we had to see this, the picture doesnt due this justice , it is literally hanging off the side of a wall! But time quickly passed with the Viewing of the Galapagos movie in 3D, tasting coconut NITROGEN LIQUID ice-cream made before our eyes, and of course the icing on the cake was the Rubik's cube exhibit ! And yes I bought my Rubik's cube earrings to boot. Hey have to start the New Year fashionable. Ok speaking of New Years , ppl lets not start with resolutions, this is what you should have been doing this whole time: exercise (especially if you are over 40) it gets harder to get on that treadmill, dont drink & dont eat bread. Thats it. Simple. Now can you keep that going, forever and ever amen. Or until you drop dead, just dont break your ribs or face bones in the process a.k.a Harry Reid. Actually before we all make fun of Harry with : tweets like "Hope #harryreid recovers, but at his age his needs to accept it's a little late to get a Body by Jake & another tweet that reads> News Flash! +Nevada Senator Harry Reid gets beat up, breaks bones & injures face working out while shadow boxing ////and these are just some examples. But it actually almost happened to me last week, when I was trying to be cool and jump to the sides of the treadmill and of course I almost lost balance! Wew that was close! I could have done a #harryreid
i know, I know,

WORLDS MOST EXPEN$IVE RUBIK'S

CAN YOU SPOT THE DINOSAUR?

OF BONES & BINGEWATCHING....

EXHIBIT A

 HO-HO- HO !! So I present to you a "Bone Fragment" from the Bumble Bee Chunk White Albacore that my 85 year Old mom almost swallowed while alone. Now I know that the can states "may contain bone fragments" but give me a break! Of course , now that I am a writer ehem, I typed up a letter to Consumer Affairs for Bumble Bee, and I enclosed both Exhibits...will keep you guys update on their answer if there is any...
Ok so that takes care of the Bones portion of my Blog lets move on to another topic that Moms, Men & Menopause Women are concerned about: feeling guilty about Binge watching shows on Netflix. What I noticed yesterday , yes on Chritmas day were tweets about ppl being concerned that they were getting carried away watching over and over episodes. Let me tell you my dear audience WELCOME TO THE 21ST CENTURY. I am guilty but I dont feel guilty that I do this. My case over this Holiday was Binge watch the HBO SHOW GIRLS. At first I found it amusing and cute that these girls/ guys were all sleeping with each other in hipster side of NY -Brooklyn to be exact. Now mind you I love binge watching on my I-phone and I feel completely comfortable doing so in my tiny 5S screen, while my mother, cat & son watch me mesmerized. LOL
So yes, I kept watching , my last episode was Season 2 - Episode 5 and STOP , DO WE REALLY NEED TO SEE LENA DUNHAM (HANNAH) with her top off showing her breasts while playing ping-pong?? Really? Now I can finally understand why ppl have this passive -aggressive relationship with her and her character. To be honest to me she looks like the female version of the actor Paul Giamatti- Yes Pig Vomit in the Howard Stern movie. This show is just a rip off of Sex & the City -yes they proudly display a poster of said show in one of the episodes. And yes they are both from HBO. Speaking of HBO, the show that you have to watch and play close attention to is THE COMEBACK w/ Lisa Kudrow, now thats a show you need to pay close attention to, because even if I watch the same episode over and over again I always find something new and with a twist. The acting is superb , the writing is amazeballs . SHOUT OUT TO MICHAEL PATRICK KING !!! You my dear are a King or ummm maybe Queen. Bow down B!tches.

EXHIBIT B

....tis the season to be jolly ?!!!

Ok oK, so it shouldnt be that bad, breathe!! Or just take a sip of your spiced apple cider or egg nog-wink.
After a few days of waking up w/ physical stress pain, I said no more, this ends today. This is the season to be jolly , yep , so lets do this!
Monday: started with a bang, a networking bang, in Englewood Cliffs, swanky. And met a couple of younger networkers. Hope we keep in touch. Ha
Ummm no I mean it , I am a loyal viewer of the Profit and most of my tweeps know that my new Twitter crush is none other than Marcus -swoon!
But there is room for more crushes -wink wink.
Fast Forward to Thursday, I attended at Montclair University the very first Solve for X by Google presented by GDG NORTH JERSEY. Whats your X? Well you have to present this as what Google calls it "moonshot", meaning you idea to save the World! (ummm no I mean it)
SO after a blistering cold nite, I finally got to my car, kind of wondering how this whole picture is not clear. Meaning whats Googles roll in all this? It was interesting but not clear. I also didnt forget my promise to start my typing For Tanji project. I am comitted to do this......soon?
Yes, soon! At least after the crazy Holiday season ends. And drum roll, I joined Instagram, and yuck ! Totally not an Instagram person at all, maybe because I am just not into FB either. I lol'd this a.m when I read this am>> Twitter founder snaps: "I frankly dont give a shit if Instagram has more people looking at pretty pictures" LMAO I couldnt agree more.
So my advice stick to the social media you love best ! And please dont forget to be Jolly !

A WEEK OF POP CRAZY

Ok, so lots of interesting things going on happening, other than the obvious ummmm hashtag NYC and you know what I am referring to unless of course you live under a rock. So speaking of NYC , and yes that same day, the X-mas Tree lighting ceremony was on NBC, I watched Tony Bennett & Gaga duet, check (more about that later) , watched PENTATONIX,opening the ceremony check, and oh yeah then there was Mariah....sigh
Now I was one of the bashers , that had my ears pierced and was shaking my head during here appearance. I am a looooong time fan of hers, I've bought the Remix CD twice ,cause yes I played it so much it scratched and Yes this was before I-tunes. But today I listened to my new tweep @TriniTrent you may want to visit his website www.thelavalizard.com and yes I was laughing like crazy and yes I RT'd him and yes I followed him and Yes he has a point. Before we start all judging and laughing and cracking jokes about Mariah, he is right , lets not have her become a Whitney , or an Amy Whinehouse, lets protect and get help for Mariah now. Yep, LEAVE MARIAH ALONE!! at first I was like what are these You-Tubers talking about, but then I reflected, we are quick to judgement these days. And yes she needs a break, she may be a Diva ,ok ok, but she is and always has been excellent singer. Also , All I want for X-mas is You has been the only song that is truly a X-mas Classic Hit to me and always will be.
So, that said, let me head over to Gaga, I listened to her interview w/ Howard Stern. Quite interesting, and just when I was going to dismiss her album w/ Tony OMG she sang live Lush Life and I truly had to listen to the song a total of 6 times, watched it on YouTube 10 times, and the vocals, the range! Let me tell you that is a truly truly difficult song. And I was amazed that the writer of the song was only 19 when he composed it! and she found out after he died that he was gay. But guys listen to that song. It will move your soul, if you have one.

Gosh (In Napolean Dynamite voice) this week was cray-cray. I started out as depressed as my bank account , but all of a sudden I am embracing the Holiday Spirit!!! yay, this year my Company is not printing no calendars or corny cards, this year we are going door to door and give my customers the special touch they deserve! That's right , I love my customers, and even though we lost a huge one this year (due to a stupid bidding process) we are blessed to have the ones we have. Thank you , thank you! You know who you are ! See you next Friday, or you can follow me daily on the Twitter (aghhh hate when ppl call it that)

Me listening to Mariah
