April Wrap-Up

Sorry everyone, April was definitely a sloooow reading month for me, so almost nothing to report here.

1. Top Book of the Month: He's Just Not That Into You by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo

I know it's not a romance novel (and therefore not the sort of thing I'd normally review) but I loved it! Review here.

2. The Royal Wedding!
I didn't watch the whole thing, but I did watch snippits of it over breakfast. There's been so much speculation over Kate's dress (I guess now we have to call her Catherine). I liked it.

The shorter train (heck, it's still long!) and modern touches fit her signature style much more than say Princess Diana's fairy tale wedding dress would have.

I didn't like her dress for the reception as much. What's with the fuzzy sweater? Please don't say those are making a comeback...

3. Glee!

Back for the second half of the season and making me happy again :)

Top 10: Royal Wedding Mania!

Ever since the Royal Engagement was announced, memorabilia has been popping up left and right.  For the most part it's the smiling couple's faces on pieces of china, coins, and stamps.  But of course, there are those few pieces that are a bit more... out there.  Add in the internet, where we can now make videos either honoring or spoofing the royal couple and you're bound to get some interesting odds and ends.  In honor of Prince William and Kate Middleton's nupitals tomorrow, here's a list of my Top 10 favorite crazy knick-knacks and videos that have been spawned from the Royal Wedding Mania!

1. The T-Mobile Royal Wedding.  Remember that fun dancing down the aisle video that went viral?  T-Mobile did a spoof using Will and Kate as models.

2. Royal Romance- TheTheOtherGuys.  This is by far my favorite video made for the royal couple.  It's a parody of Bad Romance made by some of the guys who went to St. Andrew's with Will and Kate.  If you haven't seen it yet, take a minute to watch it.

3. PEZ Dispensers

4. Beer.  While not exactly high brow, I love the name.

5. Royal Couple Nails

6. Ash Trays

7. Toilet Seat Cover.  Is this supposed to be one of those sitting-on-a-throne references?

8. The Royal Refridgerator.  Is this just in case you ever forgot who your future monarchs are?

9. Heritage Condoms.  I thought royals wanted heirs?

10. Sick Bags.  After everything I've just showed you, do I really need to explain?
