Archive for December, 2007Just saw a Friends and Family coupon for Banana Republic over at The Budget Fashionista. It’s for 30% off and it’s good in Canada and it expires on Friday. You’re a friend. Heck, we’re almost family! So get the coupon and tell your other friends to come on over to this page and get it too! The Blog According to Buzz. Spread the word, ya heard? I wrote a piece in 24hrs Vancouver today about some ways you can use the web for charitable purposes this Christmas. One of the sites is Give Meaning. Check out the post on cyberbuzz to learn more.

I cracked open my iTunes and sorted my music according to “Most Played.” Theoretically, these should be my most favourite songs for the year. They are:
All of those songs are on my “chill” playlist. 4 of the ten are on the mixed chill album, Later. It’s the kind of groove I’m into. The Blog According to Buzz. Spread the word, ya heard? It’s year end list time. A time of year when too cool for school critics tell you there picks for the best of the year. The criteria - it has to be so obscure that you’ve never heard of it, allowing them to rise above as the only one with enough creative taste to discover the tracks. Rolling Stone has their Top 100 songs of the year out, of the Top 10 I’ve heard two songs; Rhianna and Amy Winehouse. Apparently I’m not cool. 2 “A Few Words in Defense of Our Country” Randy Newman 3 “Umbrella” Rihanna 4 “D.A.N.C.E.” Justice 5 “Four Winds” Bright Eyes 6 “Dough Is What I Got” Lil Wayne 7 “Rehab” Amy Winehouse 8 “Long Walk Home” Bruce Springsteen 9 “Boyz” M.I.A. 10 “Int’l Player’s Anthem” UGK I’m getting so up there and music tastes have remained stagnant. I dont even know what year albums come out anymore. I’m still hammering the stink out of Moby’s Hotel. Madonna’s Confessions and Zero 7’s The Garden. My fave albums for the year are from Feist, Radiohead, Annie Lennox and Seal. Come to think of it, those are the only new albums I got this year. I guess I’m a little more particular now.

Here I am, on Christmas vacation. Yet last night I was up until past midnight, and this morning I’m up around 6a doing what I always do - sitting on the computer. I picked a rather odd time of year to redo my web portfolio, but I finally had Wordpress uploaded on my servers, so I just dove into what I’ve been dying to do for 5 months now - monetize the blogs, clean them up and blog my ass off. I want to be John Chow meets Perez Hilton meets Meg Fowler meets Buzz Bishop. So you have the new look for buzzbishop.com, the addition of a blog, and now a combined cyberbuzz empire which will host all my tv, print and radio columns. Knee deep in the hoopla? More like up to my neck in css and php. The Blog According to Buzz. Spread the word, ya heard?
Someone strike up the banjo and get this family on Maury. At least she knows who the baby daddy is, Casey Aldridge. Who? Yeah, it doesn’t matter cause the story is going to be all about Britney’s 16 yr old sister getting knocked up. I’m glad she’s out about it. It means she won’t have one of those “medical procedures” to remedy the problem. I’m pro choice. It’s not my place to regulate your body, but as someone who had an unplanned pregnancy and someone who lives with someone who was adopted and as someone who is wanting to adopt, my opinion on abortion has considerably softened. I’d really like to see more support given to adoption as an option. When Jen was adopted 35 yrs ago, snagging a cute kid was easy. Trying to adopt in BC in 2007 is a little more difficult which is why more and more people are choosing the overseas route, which is expensive. Congrats Mrs Lynne Spears, you raised some pretty wild and crazy girls - can’t wait to read that book on parenting you’re writing! At least they have the sense to bring their babies into the world. Now, I’d be glad to adopt the little bebe and get him/her out of the tabloid hellstorm your daughters insist on perpetuating. The Blog According to Buzz. Spread the word, ya heard?
CSS is a Brazilian group which make nerds think of web design. In tech speak, CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. They’re used to layout webpages and text. Check out the CSS Zen Garden for examples. In music speak, CSS stands for Cansei de Ser Sexy. Like Feist, they got their big break by getting their song in an iPod commercial. Unlike Feist, they did not get 4 Grammy nominations. No matter. Love the song. I love how it describes all the different things music can be to different people, it’s a truly powerful medium. A catchy song with deep lyrics. Nice. Personally, Music is my Escape. What is your music? The Blog According to Buzz. Spread the word, ya heard? Tis the season to have people over. We’ve got a little do this weekend, here’s what I’m serving. - Crudites with Creamy Roquefort dip - Gorgonzola and Walnut Crostini - Artichoke Heart and White Bean Dip - Ginger Molasses cookies - Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies - Gingerbread letters (cut in the shapes of Z, B and J for Zacharie, Buzz and Jennifer) I’m thinking it’s too much. I saw an episode of The Barefoot Contessa where she said it’s better to make a lot of a few things, than a few of a lot of things. I think I’ve screwed this one up, and I’m not evening making my famous Bastilla Cigars, which I really wanted to add to the list. The bar will have Lindeman’s Semillon Chardonny and Little Penguin Shiraz. The Blog According to Buzz. Spread the word, ya heard? Remember that joke Sarah Silverman told at the MTV VMA’s? The one about how Britney is 25 and accomplished everything she’s going to accomplish in her life? Not to throw any pressure on Shiloh Jolie-Pitt or anything, but she’s barely 1 and she’s already hit the top of a Forbes list:
*Ahem*! Where’s Le Grand Monsieur? The Blog According to Buzz. Spread the word, ya heard? When the 2010 Olympic Mascots were announced a couple of weeks ago, much of the fanfare was given to the cute Miga and the rough and tumble Quatchi. Little girls like Miga. Little boys like Quatchi. I liked Sumi. Well, it seems like everyone else agrees. As we crash down on Christmas the Sumi dolls are the ones in short supply. Miga and Quatchi are mascots for the Winter Games, while Sumi looks over the Paralympic Games. I wonder if that has something to do with the popularity. He’s the superhero for kids with a busted wing. Sumi is an animal guardian spirit that is part-bear, part-thunderbird and wears an orca whale hat. Sumi can do it, so they’ve got someone to look up to and lead the way. The Blog According to Buzz. Spread the word, ya heard? |
