Paul Rudd is suddenly everywhere thanks to his new movie, “I Love You, Man.” He might as well be Dane Cook, people are talking about him so much. Hello People! He’s been around a while. Wake up and pay attention. His IMDB list goes back to 1992! Love him in ’98 though in Object of My Affection with Jennifer Aniston. Yeah, that’s right! Jennifer Aniston. You know who that is, don’t you? Yeah, I thought so.

Stealing ‘Stealing Wishes’
Well, technically it’s not stealing.
I’m still giving my E-book of Stealing Wishes away.
You can pay what you want, or pay nothing at all. It’s up to you!
Download the E-book by clicking on the picture of the book now. —>
And if you like my book, tell me about it. Heck, tell the whole world by leaving a review for me over at Amazon.com.
Waiting for Spring
The wait is over here in St. Louis. With weather in the 70s this week, patches of green on the lawn, and birds visiting my back yard other than those fat little winter sparrows, today is officially the first day of spring. My neighbor’s dogwood in bloom proves it.
Besides getting outside and watching things grow or buying veggies at my local farmers market, I can’t wait to read R.J. Keller’s book Waiting for Spring. It came out about a year ago and has received 4 five star reviews so far on Amazon. 
R.J. lives in Maine with her husband and two kids, is a huge indie movie fan, works nights at a convenience store, and blogs all about it on her blog.
So, don’t wait any more. Spring is here! Celebrate it with a good book!
Does music inspire you?
I’m home sick today doped up on Tylenol Cold pills with a cup of coffee and a box of tissues. My head feels like it’s stuffed with cotton, so my mind can’t really comphrehend daytime television right now. Morning radio isn’t much better. I’m sick of hearing about the economy. I’m sick of hearing about Chris Brown and Rihanna. I’m sick of hearing about AIG bonuses and death threats. Stock is down. Interest rates are down. Gas is up. Murder rates are up. If I had some Calgon, I don’t even think it could take me away.
I decided to dig through my CDs to find something I haven’t listened to in a long time. Yes, CDs, remember those little round shiny disks we used to play. They came out after cassette tapes. Cassette Tapes? Oh, I don’t think you were born yet.
Anyway, I came across Women & Songs Volume 2 and decided to give it a listen. What a nice collection of female favorites! Madonna, Jewel, Kylie Monigue, Natasha Bedingfield, Lisa Loeb, Janet Jackson, Brandy, even KD Lang and more. I was also thrilled to find more volumes in the collection. I just may have to buy those too.
This CD is exactly what I needed today on this first day of Spring when my ears are ringing and my nose is stuffy.
Thank you, Enya! Thank you, Donna Lewis. Thank you, Sixpence None the Richer. You’ve inspired me to at least write this post. So, in times like these, what music inspires you?
