Amy Winehouse Found Dead in Her London Home

Hey there.  Another celebrity death has just been confirmed.  This time it's the award winning singer, Amy Winehouse.  Reports are flowing across the internet that she was found dead today in her London Home.  She was 27 years old.  Known primarily for her hit single Rehab, Any was also notorious for her drug use and mental health issues.  There were many pictures of Amy looking her worst while on drugs and other substances and many feared for her life.  I expect the news to announce that she died of an over dose.  It just seems up her alley and if that was the case, it's a sad sad ending to a woman with a great voice that needed some guidance.  Rest in peace, Amy.  Later.

Ode to Brownies

Hey there.   I haven't done one of these in a long time and I need to bring them back!  After chatting it up with a friend about how awesome brownies are and how I have some and she doesn't, I decided to share my love of brownies to the world.  So here's the latest entry in my "Ode to..."  series.  Enjoy.

E! is the Best

This guest post from Edgardo Rosa

Does anyone else out there totally love E! True Hollywood Stories? That network doesn’t have a ton of programming that I’m too keen on but those Hollywood Stories are so informational and it’s almost like I’m watching a documentary. I got http://Expertsatellite.com satellite last year and found them then and I’ve been watching pretty much every time a new one comes out ever since. I saw the one on Demi Moore the other day and it totally changes my perspective on her as an actress! I just like how they show clips from old interviews and talk to the friends and family of the celebrity and I almost always learn a few things about them that I had no idea before which helps me sympathize a lot more than I tend to. It’s nice to know stars are human too and although I don’t like spending a lot of time in front of the TV, I don’t mind getting a little bit of pop culture knowledge with my E! Hollywood Stories.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 is Scheduled for a January 2012 US Release

Hey there.  I'm a huge Final Fantasy fan.  I have gone through most of the games (my boy is hogging the Dissidia series on the PSP) and I must say that I have enjoyed them all.  Even the Final Fantasy bastard game, Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest.  Yeah, it was horrible, but if you were new to the CONCEPT of RPGs, this was an easy game to get through and get the gist of how to get through a FF game.  But seriously, how can you not fall in love with the story, the characters, and the music?  Some of the characters and story lines have stuck with me for more than a decade and even today, I've gone back and played some of the classic FF games just to relive those memories.
