With so much horror in real life, such as hair dressers who momentarily lose all pretense of having good sense and, unbidden, layer your bangs, who needs horror movies? Certainly not me. I confess I have never been a horror movie fan. Horror movies are scary, Darling! But maybe, just maybe, I will take what [...]
The truth is complicated, but I assure you that the title for this post, this long overdue post, in my darling neglected blog, New Media Martini, is full of truth-y goodness. Because this post, is about love, fervent and less so. It is also about entertainment, or claims of entertainment. Or entertainment that is, at [...]
As you my darling readers know, and I so happily confirm, I am something of an expert on the subject of adorable, being so adorable myself.

Because her name chosen, as long ago as her birth, is a [...]
A well known and well loved feature of this fabulous blog, New Media Martini, is that we tell time and talk about time using the lived-long life events of Paul McCartney, the cutest Beatle, as time reference points.
