Elf Yourself v. 3.0

Blast! Every year I get sucked in by ElfYourself, even though the concept should be totally lame to me by now. The site is back for Christmas '09 with a couple new features, including "singing" elves, the ability to post to Twitter/Facebook and the very necessary "Hip Hop Elves." (For $4.99 you can download your clip.)
Go ahead, make sure your boss isn't looking, and go waste some time at http://elfyourself.jibjab.com. I think I'll put myself breakin' it down with Tom Brady this year...

There'd better be a song about the leg lamp...

A Christmas Story, The Musical!, based on the 1983 MGM film, premieres at the Kansas City Repertory Theatre Nov. 20-Dec. 27, 2009.  It has already broken box office records at KC Rep and is aiming for a 2010 Broadway debut.  Songs in the production include "Getting Ready for Christmas," "Take That!," "I Won (A Major Award)," "You'll Shoot Your Eye Out!," "Ho, Ho, Ho!," "I'm Awake," "On Christmas, We Go Eat Chinese" and "There Must Be Something We've Forgotten." I know what I want in my Christmas stocking in 2010--tickets to this! I can't wait to hear "You'll Shoot Your Eye Out!", I have a feeling it'll be a show-stopper, real Broadway gold.

 

Real Salt Lake's comin' home with some hardware!!

Congratulations to Real Salt Lake for winning the 2009 MLS Cup! It's hard for me to cheer against Becks...but RSL got it done. Frowny face for Landon Donovan for shanking his penalty kick...so much for LA's "Galaxy of Stars." If this game is any indication of LD's "big game" play it does not bode well for Team USA in the 2010 World Cup.

Firelight - SNL Twilight spoof trailer

This is an amazing spoof of Twilight. Taylor Swift has got Bella's lip-biting down pat. Can't wait for the sequel.

Chicken Bacon Artichoke deLITE Pizza

I have never been a huge fan of Papa Murphy's Pizza, until now. In the past I have always had trouble getting their pizzas to bake all the way through, so I've stayed away. The other day my grandma brought us  their Chicken Bacon Artichoke deLITE Pizza. It is part of Papa Murphy's lower-fat, lower-calorie thin crust line – and it is delicious! It doesn't taste low-fat, it tastes gourmet and the crust is fabulous (and cooks beautifully in a traditional oven). It has a cracker-thin crust, topped with creamy garlic sauce, real mozzarella cheese, crispy bacon, grilled chicken, fresh spinach, marinated artichoke hearts, shredded parmesan, and herbs. And it's only $9.99. It's a really great dinner or something to cut up in smaller bites to serves as an appetizer at a party. Enjoy!

The Harry is fake...the scar is real.

I was at 7-11 this morning and the cashier had dressed up like Harry Potter for Halloween. He was so into the holiday he had scratched Harry's "lightning scar" onto his forehead. He didn't draw it on, it wasn't a prosthetic scar, he had literally scratched the scar onto his head. That is taking Halloween far too seriously.

Creepy soaps....just in time for Halloween!

I saw these "hand soaps" in a magazine. They are molded from real dolls hands. They creep me out (and kind of remind me of the creepy baby cake ). Please don't have these hand soaps in your guest bathroom. Thank you.
