Some of the nerdier celebrities stay on top of everything at my website from their specialty computers, the likes of which aren’t generally available to the public. Not that they have some super computers, but they have technology that not many can afford right now. Any celebrity who happens to spend a lot of time on World of Warcraft can certainly find a system with the best graphics and biggest amount of computer memory.

All you see on TV these days, especially on late nights and Sunday morning, is advertisements for products claiming to be the best acne treatment. All the stars are on there saying at one time they had acne until they found out about this product. I just find it hard to believe they have been using a product available commercially for only three years ten years ago, but that’s just me.

Maybe it’s a little early to start thinking about Halloween. Even still, it’s fun to think about what we are going to be this year. My girlfriend usually tries to get some kind of gothic, sexy costumes to wear. Personally, I get something off the wall. I think I was an apple a few years ago. So we have Marilyn Manson walking with an apple to the club. Charming!

At first glance, selling things on eBay seems like a good deal. It still kind of is, as long as what you are selling is worth the time and effort. They take their cut off the top, then they have listing fees. Then they make you use PayPal and take a cut of that. Then you have to go to the post office and waste additional money on shipping and insurance, postage tape and applicable boxes or envelopes. When all is said and done and everyone has their slide, you are left with nothing.

I was sitting here looking at my old box cutter. It has been exactly one year since I quit my job at the grocery store to blog about entertainment pretty much full time. I must admit, it helps me feel better to talk about the problems the rich and famous have compared to me. Sure, I have some credit card debt, but some of these folks are throwing away fortunes. They say money can’t buy happiness, which is what I’ve found out in this line of work.

It seems as if every time I try to go on a diet, there comes along some distraction to ruin it. It’s always like I start up a diet plan, then a relative comes in to town and has dinner at the buffet. That’s just the way the cookie crumbles. Speaking of cookies, they ruin a lot of planned diets, as well. I have tried a variety of diet pills with no success. Maybe healthy eating and exercise are the answer? Yeah, right!

It seems as if people on internet entertainment blogs can make a living just following someone like Lindsay Lohan around - and they do. I was watching a piece on TV last night about Lohan relapsing because someone supposedly saw her drinking cocktails at a club. Who cares? That is that chick’s own business. People need to just let it go. If she’s in drug rehab, at least she’s looking for help. Media pressure isn’t helping.

What would you have if you took all the hedonism out of Las Vegas but left the sparkling lights? Instead of a desert backdrop, the backdrop would be middle America at its finest. Just what would you call this place? Branson. If you are looking to a flashy kid-friendly alternative to Vegas, Branson may be your answer. While the deals are hot, look into Branson condos!

I have thought of two sound investments to help you keep your money during a down economy. The first won’t net you very much, but it isn’t going to lose you your shirt either: alcohol. People love to get drunk when they have no money. Number two - luxury items. When most people don’t have money, the few that do are holding a lot. This is why investing in a Rolex Yachtmaster would not be a bad idea at this time if you can afford it.

I do most of my blog maintenance from my laptop computer. Then again, most of my life is conducted from a laptop. I have not attempted to connect my laptop to the network to make it easy to print things because the computer in the living room is merely a hub that serves no other purpose nowadays It is just absolutely trashed with adware and runs as slow as molasses. That is why I have to look for some printers of a smaller size to hook up to the laptop next time I go shopping.
