A Son Comes Calling

Who is this Dude?

And to protect his privacy, that’s what we shall call him — Dude. He’s my youngest son and he is here for the weekend. So tonight he was my sous chef, and a fine one at that. I had prepped most of our dinner prior to heading to [...]

Games on JTV and Evolution

Housekeeping: It was brought to my attention (again) that the blog is just too large — that it takes far too long to load the page with all the huge .jpgs, so I have decided to use thumbnails and I am attempting to use the “more” feature as well. What should happen is [...]

Best Day on JTV Ever

Stats

Justin.tv Traffic Report
I hadn’t planned on writing anything tonight, but as I was preparing to shut down the computer as the Academy Awards show was wrapping up when I spotted a familiar icon in the #1 place on the channel bar. It was Justin’s channel. I dropped in and there he was [...]

Is it Possible?

MIA

It was a South Indian Cuisine Night at Justopia.com
I had a thought about EastCoastVegas’ disappearance from the network which turned into a scenario which I am pretty sure is going to answer all the questions the millions of people who have been so miserable and distraught over the fact that he hasn’t been seen broadcasting [...]

The Jonas Brothers are Taking Over Again

Fan Channels

It was Mile High Chimichanga Torta night. I got a little carried away with the guacamole — eek!
I’ve noticed in the past couple of weeks that many of the icons on the channel bar are girls. Yes, girls. Not young women, but minor females. When I drop into one [...]

Maybe it Needed the Exclamation Point? live.yahoo!.com

live.yahoo
After reading the justintvgossip blog I took another trip to live.yahoo.com to see what was going on and to see if I could find Bradman since yourstruly was unable to. As I mentioned in a recent post, I set up a channel there myself a few days ago. It was easy to set [...]

Who Let the Curls Out?!

Who is That Woman?
Just a brief upload for my justopia.com fans!

We were talking about my scheduled “Day of Beauty” at the hair salon tomorrow and a new regular to Justopia.com, NewYorkState asked if I would mind some hair tips from a professional in the biz. I of course responded that I [...]

A Million Little Pieces!

Superstitions

I grew up in a house where superstition could rule. No hats on beds. No walking under ladders. No whistling at the table. And no open umbrellas in the house, to name a few. Those things have stuck with me for 50 years and show no signs of letting up. [...]

Out of Sorts

Catharsis

Knitted, sewn together and felted (washed in hot water to shrink) and trimmed — the purse and change purse are done!
For some, a drink, a cigarette, a good session with an axe and a bunch of logs is a cathartic experience, one that helps to release emotional tension and that restores and refreshes the spirit. [...]

A Bit of Humor, a Night Off and a Question

And Now for Something Completely Different

Cheese and Pancetta filled Fried Spinach Ravioli and Tomato and Parsley Salad
This has nothing to do with Justin.tv or with food, but it is so worth reading that I could not resist linking you to the post. I’ve become a real blog reader of late and am often caught [...]

Using What’s in the Fridge and Pantry, The Naked Cowboy in the News and Which Broadcasters Have Fled to Live.Yahoo!?

Made Over Left Overs
I’ve been spending far too much money on food in the past 5 months — since I began broadcasting and from time to time I just open the fridge and the freezer and the pantry and see what I can put together from the ingredients I have at my fingertips. I [...]

Happy Hallmark Holiday

Woe is Me

Beef Soup with White Beans and Fire Roasted Tomatoes
I’d say that the general consensus that the Christmas holiday season is the toughest time for singles is not entirely accurate. I don’t feel any worse during Christmas because I live alone or have no family around or often do nothing different on December [...]

Valentine’s Day Dinner in Photos

Broadcasting a V-Day Dinner

It’s not easy to come up with a different menu to broadcast 6 – 7 nights a week. Sometimes I want to come home, prop my feet up and go into the kitchen for nothing more than a sandwich or a bowl of soup. But I persevere. The viewers [...]

What if they Held an Election and No One Showed Up to Vote, Closed Captioning at Justopia.com and What Are People Thinking … Or Are They?

Primary
I showed up at my new polling place this afternoon and when I was finished casting my ballot I was the only one in the room and no one else seemed to be showing up. I was expecting a crowd. I charged up the iPod, packed the headphones in my purse and prepared [...]

Christmas Redux, Cookie Madness, and a JTV Free Day

Merry Christmas! Again…

Ready to start the cookies
The funny thing about watching a back up of recorded shows on the DVR and not being a user of the fast forward button is that you get to experience Christmas, 2007 all over again. I’m not so sure that’s a good thing, but in a [...]
