How to Stop Being a Pop Culture Curmudgeon

Why Hollywood doesn't need to change — I do.

I was just having a fascinating conversation over on Facebook with Jackie Gillard and #YMCCommunity member Christella Morris about Dallas Buyer's Club and how I really disliked it. We got to talking about a bunch of things and basically, I realized I'm sort of a misery about stuff around Oscar time every year.

Must-see TV: Shows to Get Caught Up On

Just in time for the new wave of seasons!

I realized today that I really want to check out Sons of Anarchy and have been meaning to watch it for quite some time, except I just never did. So, tonight, I'm going to plop down and check out the first episode or two.

Celebritease

(Pleased to meet you!)

I was in a “meeting” (surprise congrats to a GF at work who’s getting married next week) on Monday, when I returned from my desk with an e-mail from Erica Ehm herself. This has happened one or two times in the past, but it doesn’t get any less exciting. This time, Erica was informing me that I had been selected to be the new pop culture blogger at YummyMummyClub.ca. I did a happy dance at my desk (full disclosure, I moonlight as an online project manager at a big, awesome charity). My mind swirled. Will the YMC mums like me?
