Where I found it: Live from Daryl's House
Daryl, the Hall half of Hall and Oates, has been hosting a monthly web series for about 2 years, where he invites artists from Train to Oates to join him for some jam sessions, dinner, and conversation. The first epiosde I saw was a few months ago, where Hall hosted John Reznik from the Goo Goo Dolls, and I was in love. Nothing like GGD and Buffalo wings to win me over! Now the show is on TV. I caught episode 31 (there are 48 as of today) with guest rob Thomas of Matchbox 20. Through his engaging persona on Twitter, I have developed a massive friend crush on Rob T. Rob if you see this- let's hang out!!!!!!! So thanks to Hall! Let's let the good music keep rolling.

A Note About The Prince (William) & Me

While I'm excited about the idea of a royal wedding (see huge photo of William and Kate) and the public insanity that has already begun, I've taken a pause for reflection. I'm not in love with Prince William or anything, and I wish he and Kate the best.

But am I the only one (aside from the UK SUN) slightly creeped out that Kate was given the ring of William's mother Diana, who seemed to find tons of tragedy? Not only did Diana's marriage go bust after receiving that ring (see photo of ring), but she had met a tragic and early death.

It's like being given a coffin as a wedding present... Ghastly and creepy.

And the prince for me will always be Luke Mably as Danish Prince Edvard in the 2004 film, The Prince and Me. But if you have the opportunity to see Prince and Me 2: Royal Wedding, pass. It was very dismal and Julia Stiles was not in it.

A Note About National Unfriend Day

Cut out the friend fat in your life!
- Jimmy Kimmel

I really agree with Jimmy's new declaration of Nov. 17th as National Unfriend Day. Some aspects of social networking- (they made a movie about facebook!) have taken over our way of life, most importantly the idea that we NEED to have all these virtual friends, and invite them to like our band, place of work, or class project. (No thanks kid I went to third grade with and haven't talked to since then).

And the girl he uses in his example is a perfect example of the many people who use facebook as their sole means of communication (I don't care what you had for lunch, that you're sad its raining etc...)

As my friend (real friend) CR once said, "Go read a book ho." Books sound like a good idea. Let's go with that.

A Note About Social Media

My twitter feed told me today is social media day.

Happy social media day everyone!

A Note About Internet week

O Internet week,

By the time I found out you were going on, it was Thursday. Far too late for me...
As we bid goodbye to Internet week 2010, I'm looking forward to the 2011 celebration. I'll be better prepared next time.

Love,
Me
