Fun Friday – Smileys

Who doesn’t like a Smiley? 🙄

Well, some do more than others, but in the online world, Smileys help us say when we’re 😥 or when we’re feeling 😈 or when we want to just be 😎 .

😆

Since I’m in a Romantic Suspense Writer mood, maybe I should be using some of these cool Smileys that I found at FreeSmileys.org.

Just a word of caution about Smileys and Emoticons, if you’re required to download any kind of software to get them, make sure you’re getting it from a reliable source. Some programs contain malware, while others have privacy and security issues.

Party Time with Hugh Jackman!

Now I thought that I had shared this with you before, but it doesn’t seem as if I did and even if I did, it’s worth a second look – Hugh Jackman party time with some iced tea! Iced tea?

Yep, this is a Japanese commercial for Lipton Iced Tea! Sit back and enjoy the sights of Hugh dancing his rather fine self across the tube!

Fast Food Friday!

I don’t know about you, but Fridays are typically Fast Food Fridays in my house. After a long week of work, it’s time to kick up our feet, forget the diet (ack – lifestyle change!) and relax! What better way than to allow someone else to do the cooking?

Most Fridays in the summer are Five Guys Fridays. Awesome burgers made fresh on the spot with your choice of 15 – yes FIFTEEN – free toppings you can put on your burger!

You’ve got your choice of Mayo, Relish, Onions, Lettuce, Pickles, Tomatoes, Grilled Onions, Grilled Mushrooms, Ketchup, Mustard, Jalapeno, Peppers, Green Peppers, A-1 Sauce, Bar-B-Q Sauce, or Hot Sauce.

Wish I could think up a jingle to rattle all those off.

And let’s not forget Five Guys Fries. Totally awesome. Fried in peanut oil.

You can become a Five Guys Fanatic and download some wallpapers at the site. I decided to bling mine with a little topping of Caridad! Hope they don’t mind.

What about you? What’s your favorite Friday night ritual to help you unwind from the stress of the week?

Fun Friday – Interview with Cathy Clamp and CT Adams

I am so excited to have with me on this Fun Friday USA Today Bestselling Authors Cathy Clamp and CT Adams writing as Cat Adams. I had the opportunity to interview Cathy and CT at the RT BookReviews Convention and they were kind enough to give me a behind the scenes look at their novel BLOOD SONG. BLOOD SONG is their June 2010 release from Tor Books and the first book in their new Blood Singers series. It sounds like a winner which is definitely going on my summer TBR pile!

Fun Friday – Flash Opera!

Thanks to my buddy Karin for this Friday’s inspiration and video!

As noted on Youtube, “On Saturday, April 24th, the Opera Company of Philadelphia teamed up with the Reading Terminal Market Italian Festival for a large-scale “Flash Opera” event! Over 30 members of the Opera Company of Philadelphia Chorus and principal cast members of LA TRAVIATA performed the famed “Brindisi” in the aisles of Reading Terminal Market, entertaining hundreds of Philadelphians, and proving that the perfect accompaniment for all things Italian is a little Verdi! The Opera Company sincerely thanks members of the Opera Company of Philadelphia Chorus and cast for generously volunteering their time and talents… BRAVI TUTTI!! LA TRAVIATA runs from May 7 – 16 at the Academy of Music. For tickets/info: 215-893-1018 / 215-893-1018 or go to operaphila.org.”

I can only imagine the shock and amusement as people were eating their cheesesteaks or sticky buns from the Amish!
