For all the Dancing with the Stars fans out there… Did you know that you can follow some your favorite past and presents stars and dancers from DWTS on Twitter?
Here are some of the ones that I have been following:
My Dorito spot entry. View this and others on www.crashthesuperbowl.com. It’s really about our obsession with crazy news stories. ~ Mike Kalush
Mike made this video for this:
“… Here’s the setup for the biggest Crash ever. Get together your idea for a Doritos® brand Super Bowl XLIV commercial. Go for action-packed. Or go for funny. It’s up to you. Then write it, shoot it and submit it.
Make it as one of the six finalists and win $25,000. Then, if America votes it in our Top 3 submissions, your video will be aired as a Doritos® brand commercial during Super Bowl XLIV.
But that’s not it. If you get first place on the USA Today Ad Meter, we’ll give you $1,000,000. Second wins $600,000, and third wins $400,000. If we take the Top 3, everyone gets another $1,000,000. Sound good? We thought so.”
I think Mike did a great job and I hope he wins. I know I will be voting for him!!
My nephew, Brad, starts his new job with Carnival Cruise Lines tomorrow. He’s flying out of Greenville, South Carolina and is heading to Los Angeles, California and will be starting his job on Saturday. He’s going to play with the band as a trombone player. I told him he needs to learn some Elvis Presley songs on his trombone!!
I know he is going to so a great job and is going to have lots of fun! I mentioned before that Brad is going to have a blog to let everyone know what is going on. Bone Appétit — The Adventures and Travels of Brad Keesler (get it… “Bone” as in trombone!!) I can’t wait to see the pictures of the sights he’s going to see.
Here is some information on the Carnival Cruise he is going to be on:
Taking her cue from her close neighbor of Hollywood, CARNIVAL PARADISE makes each of our guests feel like stars. Don your swimsuit and shades for some sunning beside her three pools. Grab some sushi with your friends before dashing off to the 6-story atrium bar and the duty-free CARNIVAL PARADISE shops. And, don’t worry; we’ll hold your calls while you’re being pampered at the redesigned Spa Carnival. CARNIVAL PARADISE is a ship that truly lives up to its name. So book your Baja cruise now and prepare yourself for Shangri-La at sea. Ship’s Registry: Panama.
I’m not sure what it is about this season of Dancing with the Stars (Season 9), but I am not as into it as I have been in the past seasons.I had a hard time watching all of the dances. And for the stars that I don’t like, I only half watched them.
Again this week, there will be a double elimination.
Who did the best and WOW — maybe they can dance: Kelly Osbourne and Louis van Amstel. She is my favorite female star. I would like to see her get a little sassier when she dances.
I just think that Len does not like Mya and Dmitry Chaplin. I’m just not sure what he wants from her? Is he judging her like she should be a professional dancer?
Team Tango – Joanna & Derek, Kelly & Louis and Donny & Kym did the best team dance.
Watched “This Is It” — it was good. I wouldn’t say it was the best movie I have ever seen. If Michael Jackson could have pulled off the 50 shows he had planned, that would have been incredible. While I was watching it, I was thinking what an opportunity it must have been for those back-up dancers, singers and band who played with him?
My nephew, Brad, created his blog — The Adventures and Travels of Brad Keesler, to let family and friends know about his adventure on Carnival Cruise Lines. I am so proud of him and look forward to read about what he is doing and where he is going!
Has anyone seen the movie trailer to the new Sandra Bullock move “The Blind Side“? Ever time I’ve seen it, it brings a tear to my eye. And I still can’t believe Tim McGraw (without a hat and his mustache) is in that movie.
My cousin, Amanda, made some my favorite cupcakes for our little dinner party at my Aunt Pat’s house for Halloween — white cake with chocalate frosting!! I could have eaten all of them!! And bonus, they had sprinkles on them!
Sunday in the SyFy channel, they showed the 1983 mini-series V, the 1984 sequel V: The Final Battle. Wow — special effects have come a long way since then!! Best part of the of the “V” series — Marc Singer!!
I could go on and on, but I better save them for another day!

As Halloween approaches, I was thinking of all the pumpkins that I carved. I remember trying to think of a cool design to carve in the pumpkin, but when it came time to actually carve the pumpkin… my poor little pumpkins consisted of triangle eyes and nose and a crooked attempt at a scary mouth.
Here are some amazing pumpkin carving that I found on Toxel.com. Found this site from @GuyKawasakiTwitter post: Top 20 crazy pumpkin carvings.
This dog running back and forth is how I feel sometimes!!
Man, yesterday I blogged about how how I think the New York Yankees were going to win the World Series… well they lost game one. Good thing I picked them to win it in 7 games!
Does anyone else not read instructions or manuals on things they get? I glance at them, but I don’t read them. I’m more of the trail and error type of person when it comes to that kind of stuff. I managed to fix the problem with my e-mail account on my cell phone after tinkering with it — Woo Whoo!!
How many times do you apply at a company that you really want to work at? Is there a file with resumes of people who apply and apply for positions and not get called in?
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.. take a look at The Breast Cancer Site.
Been watching Project Runway (Season 6) on Lifetime. Not too sure how this season compares to the other season. Right now, I’m not liking any of the designers like in past seasons. This week, one of the more interesting one (and cutest one) Logan Neitzel was voted off.
Does throwing your laptop across the room and hitting the wall make it run any faster??
A former teacher, now friend, said the nicest thing to me today. It made me smile on the inside! Thanks, Mrs. D.
I am going to try to watch some of the games, but since I have the attention span of a gnat, I can only handle watching the last innings of the game. When I was a “yute“, I could name a number of players on a team. But now, I’m lucky if I know 4 or 5 players.
Q*bert — Oh, how I hated this video game! I know “hate” is a strong word, but I can’t think of any other word to describe how I feel about this video game.
What is Q*bert?
Q*bert is an isometric platform game with puzzle elements where the player controls the titular protagonist from a third-person perspective. The player traverses a pyramid by moving Q*bert diagonally from cube to cube. Landing on a cube causes it to change color, and changing every cube to the same color allows the player to progress to the next stage. Later stages require the player to change the color multiple times. Jumping off the pyramid results in the character dying.

Alright, after reading that, I still have no idea how to play the video game!
First of all, it seemed like every time I went to Playland (on Dort Hwy.), I played this video game.
Second, I really didn’t know how to play this video game, so I would never get past the first screen. Playing the game, I would get anxiety attacks when I would be chased on that damn pyramid. (Maybe that is where my anxiety problems started!)
While I was looking up information on Q*bert, I found Q*bert 2004 on Classic Games Arcade. I thought, now that I’m older and wiser… just go with me on this one… I could finally play this game!
DAMN IT!! I killed my first three guys!!
Man, even after all these years… I still hate this stupid game!!
