IT’S FRIDAY!! No Ass At All!

Jennifer — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 13:13:51 +0000

No ass at all is not one of my problems, but it is the problem of today’s IT’S FRIDAY!!

I happened to watch a Aisha Tyler on Comedy Central a few weeks ago. First time I have seen her stand up routine and she is one funny person! It you have time – stop by her site and check out her tour dates! I’m thrilled she’ll be in Chicago … if I do get to go see her … I’ll have to curb my alcohol and my “head butting” issues …

Here is a video she directed and stars in … funny stuff!

nowassitall – watch more funny videos

Cheers to Asses … or Ass’ .. or .. darn it … I really need to take a grammar class!

Lindsay Lohan … THANK YOU!

Jennifer — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:22:05 +0000

If you haven’t heard, Lindsay Lohan is going after e*Trade for the superbowl commercial using the name Lindsay (according to the New York Post). Watch the commercial in question below to catch up!

now …. when I first saw this video … never in my wine soaked mind did I EVER think of Lindsay Lohan. But now … Lindsay says that when her name (apparently just her first name – sorry other Lindsay’s) is used, she needs to get paid and that the e*trade baby is poking fun at her life.

Really?

I didn’t know Lindsay Lohan was a Milk-a-holic … did she do one of those “Got Milk?” commercials and then get hooked? When did that happen?

That’s okay … cuz I’m going to be watching this… and if she wins, EVERYONE who has the name Jennifer better watch out. I’ve got google alerts going folks. Anytime someone say’s that Jennifer’s review of …. BAM …. I’ll SLAM ya with a lawsuit. cuz I need to be paid for being “Jennifer”. Do you know how many Jennifer’s there are out there?

Well, maybe I won’t … because that might come off seeming a tad bit self absorbed to think that the world is just sitting around thinking about me and my life.

Look out wine-o Jennifer’s …. or anyone using a wine-o Jennifer in their advertising …. I’m google alerting you!!!! (not really)

Cheers to Jennifer’s!

Wine Wednesday!! — PKNT Chile Time ….

Jennifer — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 13:27:35 +0000

I did it … I’m going to make every real wine person angry with my next statement. I bought this bottle because I thought the bottle and graphics were so cool…. That’s right I said it … right here, right now … ME! I bought this wine Wednesday’s wine because I liked the bottle.

Enter
P.K.N.T.
Silver Collection 2008
Cabernet Sauvignon
Product of Chile

Beside this wine coming in a cool bottle, I got this wine for under $10! Cool bottle, cool price … how could I NOT pick this up!? PKNT (pronounced “Picante”) sports a chile pepper to symbolize these Chilean wines. Not only can you find their stylish concept of showcasing great wine in a stylish bottle but their website is pretty intriguing too.

I picked up the Cabernet Sauvignon and it’s a surprisingly good for a bottle of wine less then $10. Other reviews haven’t given this wine a chance. I think you just need to make sure you let it breath a bit. But what do I know … I like wines under $10 and I didn’t go to wine school. So, take my advice for what it’s worth. I found the next day the wine was better and a bit more on the “cherry” taste side. It also has more of a “bright” taste to it then other cab’s I’ve had.

I tried this wine the first night with grilled meat which paired really well. Second night I had it on it’s own. Perhaps that accounts for tasting more of the cherries in it.

So, support a wine from Chile, check out the cool bottle and a good wine at a great price.

Cheers to Chile Pepper Wine!

What Happens In California May Stay In California

Jennifer — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 12:47:09 +0000

.. but not here on my blog.

I’ll try to catch everyone up to speed…. I work in Relocation — there was a conference in California … my department of 1 (me) won an award … I flew to the conference because my boss “sponsored me” to …. I also got a little more edumacated. (Yes – spelled wrong … save it!)

So while I’ve been to many conferences, it always sucks to go to one when you know not a single person. That’s why I was SO (not) looking forward to this conference. I’m used to hanging with my other industry crew people in another network…. the fun crew …. the “we’re going out to alcohol network” group. That’s not this group. I think I knew all of 3 people there… but that’s okay, I got to meet some great new people. I sat myself in tables and groups where I knew no one and got to people watch which I haven’t done in some time. I loved it!

Somewhere along the line I decided to take my flip camera up on the stage with me. I figured that although everyone at my company couldn’t be there – why should they miss out on what it’s like to go up on stage to win an award. After all, it wasn’t just me who did the work, my co-worker team and our community won the award – couldn’t have gotten it without all their support.

So, holding my flip camera I walked and recorded my way up the stage, accepted the 5 Star award and enjoyed the rest of the night. The weird part… one of the presenters thought I was limping and kept asking me if he could help me off the stage. I’m sure that was to help me because of the limp, not because he was all like … “what the heck are you doing here” type of “help”. Either way — Great. now I’ll be known as the limping acceptee…. it could be worse I guess. So, enjoy the raw video …. Later – I hope we’ll have it cleaned up. Wait toward the end … you’ll hear him ask me about my limp.

If you ever wondered what it is like to walk up to the stage and be presented with an award …. here you go! (also … note the “cut off” chick in front of me to get on stage … WHAT the….???)

Cheers to California!

Jennifer — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 15:32:04 +0000

Happy Friday!

If you haven’t already seen this video … here it is… America’s best comics doing their dead (or alive) Presidential impersonations! It’s great to see Chevy Chase and I have to say, I never stop lovin’ the Bill Clinton characters…. actually I just bet Bill Clinton is a fun guy! So wait for the Jim Carrey “Tag, you’re it!” line and enjoy!

Inspiration Sunday – I Never Would Have Thought We’d Go Here..

Jennifer — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 15:50:43 +0000

I’ve been watching the stats on mobile phone usage, smartphones, mobile marketing, etc. Mobile phones stats, if you are not already paying attention, after this video you should be.

Here is a great conference video from Ted.com with Eric Topol. Just to set up the “who” on this…. Eric Topol is a leading cardiologist who has embraced the study of genomics and the latest advances in technology to treat chronic disease.

I guarantee, you may not have thought about your smartphone being used like this …..

Cheers to modern medicine!

Just Hit Me ITS FRIDAY!! Wine and Working too Hard

Jennifer — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 13:20:15 +0000

This is what happens when you work too hard … it’s not good for you and it gets turned into a funny video. With Will Ferrell. Maybe. Or maybe not, I don’t know I don’t work in entertainment. But you get my idea.

Cheers to the weekend!

Wine Wednesday!!! – The Stump Jump

Jennifer — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 12:31:57 +0000

In this economy, even the wine industry is feeling it! With that comes winery selling, big company buy-outs and a loss of the true artistry of wine. I know I have fun on this blog with all the cheap wine and fun catchy wine names – but there are also those family wines that are a great value for the price.

Enter:
The Stump Jump
2008 Shiraz
imported by Old Bridge cellars

Old Bridge cellers are the people that import Australia’s artisan winery wines…. The Stump Jump by d’Arenberg Winery is one of those wineries. d’Arenberg Winery is run by the Osborn family …. no …. not ozzy … Chester Osburn. The family founded their winery in 1912 and we here in America are able to try their wines at great prices.

I purchased this wine for about $10-$11/bottle and what caught my attention was that it scored 90 points by Wine Spectator. I know. I fell for the point practice. It made me believe that it’s the best thing ever… but, in this case – for the price … it’s a great wine. Its a nice warm plum and spice taste. A nice wine to have with dinner for sure. The price, the point value — a nice one to bring to a friend’s house for dinner, movie night or talk time!

Wondering about the name “Stump Jump”? It refers to a plough that was used to clear the land …. it jumped over the gnarled roots of the eucalyptus trees. So — for $11 you can get a great wine from a family owned winery in Australia! I think that’s pretty special.

Cheers to Family Wines!
