Diary of a Seekster: Where The Daily Show meets Daily Om

Since my earliest memories I always struggled with the idea that I had to be all things to all people.  We work so hard to keep various elements of our lives separate and distinct to the point that many of us have panic attacks about whether or not to “friend” a colleague or a family [...]

Soul Lab Radio: Interview with film critic Brent Marchant

What can the movies teach us about how we lead — or could lead — our lives? That’s the focus of Brent Marchant’s book, Get the Picture: Conscious Creation Goes to the Movies. Marchant explores how movies illustrate the principles of conscious creation (also known as the law of attraction) and how we can put [...]

Soul Lab Radio: Scott Von Doviak

Join me as I speak with film critic and author Scott Von Doviak who will talk about his daring, mind-bending and irreverant journey in reviewing the Top 100 Worst Movies ever made. We’ll also discuss his hysterical foray into the world of hillbilly cinema with his book  Hick Flicks: The Rise and Fall of Redneck [...]

Good Vibes: Susan Boyle on Britain’s Got Talent

Susan Boyle, a 47 year-old single British woman who is unemployed, “never been kissed” and was ruthlessly mocked as a child for a disability is my new hero. Let me say that again. She is my new hero. If you have not seen this clip yet (over 1 million have already) check it out now. [...]

Peters Sellers, Death, and the Eternal “Who am I?”

I recently brought a Muppet Show DVD home to introduce our son to the likes of Peter Sellers, John Cleese and Dudley Moore in an age appropriate way. Out of the three episodes, it was Sellers who stood out.
I’ve always been fascinated with Peter Sellers and was convinced that this comic genius and master impersonator [...]

Flight of the Conchords: My New Favorite Song

I still can not believe we got such awesome seats for the May 7 performance of Flight of the Conchords at Bass Concert Hall. I haven’t been this excited since the Seven and the Ragged Tiger Tour from Duran Duran in 1984. Oh yeah.
And I hopinghopinghoping that they play my new favorite song, “Too Many [...]

Joaquin Phoenix: The Ego or the Artist at Play?

When I watched the interview with Joaquin Phoenix on David Letterman last night, I immediately flashed back to high school and college. There were these kids at my school, and the “richer” schools around town, who were so privileged and “cool” that their smugness and egos could light up a few counties. They didn’t have [...]

Fanboys = Fantastic! Thanks, Ernie Cline

So last night was the big night… Fanboys actually opened in Austin, TX at the wonderful Alamo Ritz  after an epic trek to the big screen. I felt so proud of our friend screenwriter Ernie Cline. And to be honest, I was really hoping and praying to love this movie after everything it has been through. [...]

Harshing My Mellow

Yesterday I had a very rare day “off” meaning that my son was living it up with the grandparents, husband had to work and I have myself a nice break. Whenever I have a few free hours, I love to catch a movie and yesterday it was Slumdog Millionaire. About halfway into it, I developed [...]
