Flavored Vodka…

June 30, 2008

So, the new thing in alcohol is to flavor it with something, OK it isn’t really that new, but the flavors I have found are. My thought was always that they flavored rum with fruity things to get the female audience to drink more. The best “girlie drinks” are the ones that don’t taste of [...]

Great Orlando Wheel UPDATE!

June 29, 2008

So, the Great Orlando Wheel that I spoke of in my previous post is now official! It is said to be opening in 2010. The real reason I am updating is to show you this photo of its exact location and a video talking about this MASSIVE Ferris wheel. First a still shot:

Pleasure Island Closing!

June 28, 2008

I don’t normally post twice in one day but this is breaking news and I just learned about it!!!!
A sad day is coming. Disney has announced that all of the clubs at Pleasure Island will close in September. Disney already has a FAQ up here. Ever since Disney added the West Side shopping district Pleasure Island [...]

Commercials…

June 28, 2008

I hate to admit it, but I watch WAY too much television.
That got me thinking about my favorite TV commercials. My newest obsession are the Dunkin Donuts singing commercials:

Check after the break (sorry for the extra clicking mom) for more videos!

Feasting On Asphalt…

June 26, 2008

As I said in my Favorite TV Shows post, I enjoy Alton Brown and his cooking shows. I also thoroughly enjoyed his Feasting On Asphalt series. These two mini-series follow him and some crew on a motorcycle ride across the US eating at off the beaten path roadside eateries.

Barry Melrose

June 25, 2008

Yesterday the Tampa Bay Lightning named Barry Melrose as their new head coach. My favorite NHL team happens to be the Tampa Bay Lightning. My favorite hair-do happens to be the mullet. Barry Melrose has always been an icon in hair to me. I do NOT have a mullet, but recognize the benefit of the [...]

Get Smart Review

June 24, 2008

Friday night Rob and I went to see Get Smart. I am not the most familiar with the original series, but I am a HUGE Steve Carell fan.

Something that must be shared with the world!!!

June 23, 2008

That’s right. Pancake batter in a can!!! And it says “organic” so it MUST be good for you! (Just like anything that says or is green is good for the environment, like toxic waste) I’m not sure of what my idol Alton Brown would say about it, especially since it claims to be [...]

No, this post will not be X-Rated, not even R-Rated! This is Juicy Boobs:

Great Orlando Wheel

June 21, 2008

So this isn’t new but it was new to me. The Great Wheel Corparation has purchased a large chunk of land near the Orange County Convention Center to build a 400+ foot tall Ferris wheel type thing! Fully enclosed and air conditioned means it will be very similar to the London Eye. In fact, according to [...]
