I have a little tiff with BYU

So I was walking around campus at night last week, and I noticed they put up lights on the trees around campus! Sooooooooooooooo pretty, right?

WRONG.

The colors they have used are creating a mood that is NOT CHRISTMAS-Y.

Let me explain.

They have the colors: Red and White. That's Christmas, Right?

But THEN, there are tons of trees wrapped in ORANGE and BLUE. No green or yellow or pink to create a Winter Wonderland.

NOPE. Just Blue and Orange. Hello???? We are NOT Boise State, here, people!! Get it right!!

Dear BYU: Please change the lights around the trees, either in ALL the colors, or JUST CHRISTMAS COLORS of red, white, and green.

Tracie's Top 10 Best Kid's TV Shows of the Late 80s/Early 90s

I had a conversation last night about what TV shows I loved to watch as kids. As I thought about it more today, I was able to compile a list of my 10 favorite shows I watched in the late 80s and early 90s. Am I forgetting anything??? Keep in mind, this list does not include Saturday Morning Cartoons of the 90s. That list is for another time.


10. Eureeka's Castle!
9. Jim Henson's Mother Goose Stories
8. The Snorks
7. The World of David the Gnome
6. Mr. Roger's Neighborhood
5. Sharon, Lois & Brams Elephant Show
4. Under the Umbrella Tree
3. Muppet Babies
2. Dinosaurs
1. FRAGGLE ROCK

Does anyone else remember watching these???

Dreams Really DO Come True!!

I am so happy to announce that on January 13th, in the City of Angels, I will fulfill one of my (as of 3 years ago) life-long dreams to see JOHN LEGEND LIVE IN CONCERT.

Jealous?
Jealous???
Well, you SHOULD be.

His debut multi-platinum album, Get Lifted, came out on December 28, 2004 and subsequently won 3 Grammys. His following two albums, Save Room and Evolver have come out since and won multiple awards. He has collarborated with the best in the industry, including Kanye West, Brandy, Snoop Dogg and Andre 3000.

If you've never heard his glorious voice, listen here (Click on the pop-out player):

I love him.

I LOVE him.

I love HIM.

I LOVE HIM.

Thank you, James "JIMMYLIN" Lin!!!!!!!!!!
