Yesterday, I showed you the Google search results for worst band in the world. Verdict? Creed. OK, look, I know they're cheesy, but there's something about "My Sacrifice" that totally bypasses my rational thought. I love it even though I'm not supposed to — like macaroni and cheese eaten with fried chicken, plus dessert. What song (or songs) are you embarrassed to love? Read more
Hahaha. Freaking Creed. (Just try your own Google search; this is really what comes up!) I agree on a conscious level, but on an unconscious one, when the bombastic "My Sacrifice" comes on the radio (which I secretly love!), I always have to listen to it.

If only they weren't quite so expensive I think I'd own them all! The latest release from this privately held luxury fragrance company is called Amalfi Flowers. And talk about buzz: If you don't reserve a bottle ASAP, you just might be out of luck. It is Read more
Whenever I need to feel like a luxurious lady, I take a stroll through Neiman Marcus. Joke all you like about the stratospheric prices at "Needless Markup," but you've got to admit, it's a great place to window-shop.

After a solid cold opening of Andy dancing to "Footloose" in the warehouse (think dancing on bubble wrap and punching packing peanuts), the rest of this week's episode of The Office is a success. We find out early on that Jim was called to jury duty for a half day that he turned into five days. Dwight catches on to Jim's plan early on and does everything in his power to bring him down. On top of Read more
With one of the best cold opens on The Office all season, this week we jump back into Robert California's bulldozing of Andy. Tonight, it's about his wife. Robert says that under no circumstances is his sweet and beautiful wife (played by Maura Tierney) allowed to work at Dunder-Mifflin. Andy almost pushes through and succeeds, until all of the games become just too much. Just when it looks like Read more
On this week's episode of The Office, a very pregnant Pam must train her replacement for her maternity leave, and she's feeling more insecure than usual when that replacement happens to be an attractive woman that all the men at Dunder Mifflin are buzzing about.
