Kareena Kapoor Bollywood Wallpapers

Kareena Kapoor's diva airs and relationship with a decade older Saif Ali Khan. The break up with Shahid Kapoor and her no-film pact with the Bachchans. We may see that end soon though. Also, for the vivacious Geet Dhillon in Jab We Met. Most memorable release: Jab We Met and Chameli. Kareena was born to Sindhi-speaking Babita (nee Shivdasani) and Punjabi-speaking Randhir Kapoor on September 21, 1977 in Bombay, India. She has an elder sister, Karisma.

Kangana Ranaut Bollywood Wallpapers

Kangna Ranaut The spotlight was on Kangana Ranaut when she stepped into Gangster. Her curls, a thin frame, and a child-woman face all set her apart from other actresses. Though Kangana Ranaut is known to be one of the edgiest actors onscreen, she had been staying away from the bikini for all these years. You may not be able to digest this, but reason the babe was putting it off was because she was apprehensive about her weight and did not want to don a bikini till she was completely confident about carrying it off! She even confessed her reluctance to the Rascals’ director David Dhawan. Read more about her and check out her latest wallpapers...

I don’t care what people say…

...My Pandora and I remain madly in love. 

Yes, it’s true that the algorithms are sticky and set in their ways. You canNOT teach it anything, you just can’t. 

Can you teach it the concept of Yacht Rock? You cannot. And I’ve tried. For YEARS. Nope, that station still plays Hall & Oates.

But '80s Jersey Roller Rink? Yes! 

Oh, those were the days….Kurt Zudema where are you!?! I’m probably spelling his name wrong. How can someone not be on Facebook in 2011?

We all lived at the rink, which was walking distance from our neighborhood. Those three years in Oakland, New Jersey I only took my roller skates off to put my ice skates on (when Crystal Lake froze over).

Nasty pizza, sad third grade crushes and Blondie. Before anybody owned a helmet. 

The DJ at the rink must not have been into stuff like Joy Division, The Smiths or the Cure…so I never even heard that stuff until I was older. It was all J. Geils and Billy Squier.

I believe we jumped the turnstile into the rink more than once…at least I don’t remember ever having money to pay. Sometimes I begged from boys in line. (Gotsta do whatcha gotsta do to get your skate on.)

This was also the time of shop lifting pages of scratch n’ sniff and other coveted glitter stickers from the drug store for our sticker binders. No. I couldn’t afford a trapper keeper. What am I? Rich? Sticker collection was a rich-kids pastime, anyway. I eventually gave up my life of crime and admitted defeat.

I made this station to skate to in my basement while I train for roller derby (I found a local team!)

Give it a listen if you want (it probably won’t hold up off of skates). 

Just remember there’s hope in designing a nostalgia-based station yet.

Blog slackage......

This blog suffers so another may live....

Here's what I've been doing while not doing this (quick, go there before this one bores you to tears with its lack of attention). You can also win a handmade fairy from Nepal....

The Other Princess Diana

To commemorate my 100th post and one year of blogging, I'd like to pay tribute to our Amazonian Warrior Princess.

I was Wonder Woman for Halloween no less than 3 times in a row (during a non-stop growth spurt which resulted in my mom having to sew three completely different costumes). Of course, these years coincided with the three years in which the original show aired, and in my mind no one will ever be able to replace Lynda Carter (so thank goodness that whole Adrienne Palicki thing bit the dust, because I hate David E. Kelley, and her new outfit was stupid.)

Anyway...

I love the original comic book, the later comic books, the Nazi-fighting (70's spin on the 40's) TV version, the ultra disco TV version, weird fan art and any odd collectible, the creepier (and anti-sexy) the better. Because the princess is the goddess of truth, here to kick ass and save the world - NOT be ogled by mere mortals...and ....er..... that's enough geekage. Maybe my mom will make me one more costume....

Melon Salsa

I threw this recipe together quickly for my "A Muse Schmooze" get-together with the Longmontinas.

The group is designed to push each other to finish started projects (from knitting to novel-writing). Mostly we just  drink wine, eat cheese and make sarcastic jokes. So awesome.

Anyway...Melon Salsa!

Cantaloupes were practically being given away at Safeway today, so I picked some up and improvised something that would be bright and summery to celebrate summer's almost end.

What you'll need:

~1/2 Cantaloupe

~1 red onion

~1 small cucumber

~2 roma tomato (firm)

~1 bunch of cilantro

~2 serrano peppers

~juice of 2 limes

~1 can of  black beans, drained and washed

~Salt to taste

Dice everything (except the beans). Toss with  beans, lime juice and salt and refrigerate a few hours (to let the lime seep in).

Serve with blue corn chips. Should go well with a Mexican beer or an apple-y Chardonnay.

Makes two party-dip-bowl-sized servings.
