Jetpacks Make Commuting Easy!

I think one of these $100,000 jetpacks would make my commute easier in the morning. I have officially begun the search for a place and thanks to Brian, have a great agent who has already sent me some attractive listings. My goal is to find something that is an excellent investment in an up-and-coming neighborhood. I'm Suzanne Whang, and this is House Hunters.




And I thought feeding the pigeons was bad...

I guess this rat problem could be easily remedied. Just bring in the 44-pound cat from, you guessed it, the Garden State. Oh we're so proud. The large feline will be appearing on many shows today including Live With Regis and Kelly. And while we're talking about cats, I noticed that the clip I posted on Monday with Christian the lion was shown on the Today Show yesterday and was on all of the entertainment news shows last night.

I started to watch the second season of This American Life on Demand and it's one of the best shows. It is beautifully filmed and directed and the stories are incredible. I highly recommend it and if you haven't seen the first season, you're in luck!

JK Rowling will be raking it in for the rest of her life...get yours now for the LOW LOW PRICE OF $100.

uh
oh
, we knew this was coming...Internet Addiction.

Looking for something fun to do while you are at the lake this summer? Well this looks like fun for all ages!



Devang was laughing about this the other day so I watched it again and honestly, it gets funnier with each viewing.

Judge Judy Hits The Deck

Good morning everyone! So the Verizon Fios TV is up and running and it's awesome. Now I can't wait to get an HD tv and check out the HD channels. I also finally have Showtime so I can watch it on demand and catch up on Dexter, This American Life, and Californication. Very exciting stuff.

Rachel Ray Update: No call from the Rachel Ray Show yet...

I hope all of my LA readers are okay after the earthquake yesterday. Apparently they were filming Judge Judy when the earth started to rumble and the footage is already available.



I wonder who won the case?

Harry Potter fans, brace yourself. The trailer for The Half-Blood Prince has hit the internet!!!



Oh this new robot is high on the creepy meter...

And most importantly, have you gotten your Safe Sex License?

Here's a link for some really cool Google Chat emoticons. Go crazy.

I mentioned the other day that Tim Burton is doing Alice in Wonderland...well rumor has it that Johnny Depp is playing the mad hatter. Oh how I would like to help out with this film.

Have a great day and be sure to get your tickets to Piccola Cosi at the New York International Fringe Festival by clicking here.

Evan on the Rachel Ray Show? Perhaps.


I finally did it. I called Cablevision and canceled our cable subscription and quite frankly, I thought they would have put up more of a fight. They had a few lines and gave me some reasons why I shouldn't cancel but I wasn't convinced. So today, when I get home from work, I will be able to try out the new Verizon Fios TV. I'll let you know how it is. I know Verizon customer service is horrible so hopefully there won't be a need to call them. We'll see if the fleas are saying "Wow".

So I got a call from a segment coordinator at The Rachel Ray Show because they are considering me for a segment. I'd be the perfect choice and I'm hoping I hear back from them. It has to do with Blueberry Pie. Yum.

It's hard to believe that a year has gone by since my encounter at the Sussex County Fair. I think that blog entry was one of my longest and I'd like to get back to more writing and less linking to news stories. The fair is coming up again and I'm going to hopefully attend this year but stay away from the "unknown". Stick to the animals, the food, and the food. I strongly encourage you to go as it is just so much fun. I wanted to attend the turkey calling contest but I'll be away in Vermont.


Did you hear about Richard Branson's aircraft? WhiteKnightTwo?

I was excited to find that the first trailer for Oliver Stone's "W" has hit the internet:



What's your name? There are so many I just can't remember any more.

This is so cool...I want to perform at Graceland!

I saw a misplaced Arnold cat toy at the supermarket checkout last night. Who knew they were even making these????

Have a great day :-)

Monday, Monday..dum dum..da da dum dum.

Approximately 10,000 people took part in the NYC half marathon yesterday so it was a fluke that when I turned on the tv I saw the only person I knew who was running the race (the time on the screen was 8:41am). There was a lot of shaky camera work during the broadcast and I was glad we got to see all of those sponges on the ground. I went to Spring Lake on Saturday to celebrate my grandmother's birthday and the weather was great! We ate at this great restaurant in Belmar called Casa Solar.

Have you seen the following video? I don't know if it's the music or the message but it made me feel good.



I love NYC!

You know you love them..here's my recipe of the week.

Actor Shia LaBeouf who is one of today's biggest young stars appears to be in trouble. I hope this isn't true.

And Lindsay Lohan was hit by a motorbike in NY.

This is pretty Cuil.

I have always wanted to go to the Parsippany Psychic Fair to film a segment. The fair took place yesterday and while I didn't make it, I'd like to imagine it was something like this...

Good Luck NYC Half Marathon Runners



It's a beautiful Friday morning and I'd like to start by wishing good luck to all those running in the NYC Half Marathon on Sunday. Go out there and beat your previous times! If you want more information on this race which goes from Central Park to Rector Street, click here. Afraid of crowds? No worries, the race will be broadcast on ABC! So set your DVRs.

Okay, let me get out the paper and see what's in the news today...

We use our cell phones so much these days that the thought of them being harmful is scary. I've been using my speaker phone and my bluetooth more often.

Here's another reason why rabbits make great pets...they'll save your life too!

This sounds like it was terrifying...

Lions, and tigers and real life ETs Oh My!

These NYC River Gym renderings are so cool! It's about time they came up with the idea of "transforming wasted human mechanical energy into a useful kinetic gymnasium."




I hope you have a great weekend and I'll be around so let's do lunch..and remember,

You don't need a cabinet full of cleaners.

Subway Church, Take the A-men Train


I went to subway church this morning. It's happened before and I basically have no control over when I go. For the second time I have stepped into an A train and have listened to this man talking, no...rather screaming, about Jesus and how Jesus saved him from his crack addiction. Now this guy is really loud and I wouldn't want to have to stand near him because I'm sure there is saliva flying as well. I'm glad he was saved but having to endure someone screaming at 7:35am in an enclosed space, we could all do without. Amen.

I couldn't believe how much rain we got in New Jersey yesterday. In the words of Boaz Frankel, "it was nutso".

Last night after work I went with my sister to do a walkthrough of the Fringe Venue at which she is performing her one woman show, Piccola Cosi. Oh, have I mentioned that you can now purchase tickets online??! Of course I have, but I'm going to mention it quite frequently now in hopes that Mr. Big Time Producer/Casting Director stumbles upon this and wants to come. If that is the case, please let me know.

Apparently, this couple haven't gone down to the basement.

Vanity Fair Rocks!

If you know me well, you know that I am a huge Tim Burton fan. Well Tim is working on a version of Alice and Wonderland and word has it he just cast the actress to play Alice. Can't wait for this one.

Gotta love Beaker:



Stay dry today.
