Randy Pausch

Posted by wilderwriter on July 26, 2008

How many times can you say you saw someone on tv and your life will never be the same?

I can say that about Randy Pausch.

Randy was a Carnagie Mellon (Whoa…big brains) professor whose greatest gift wasn’t in teaching others, it was his love for his children.

In academia, it’s common to ask tenured professors to give a lecture called The Last Lecture. This lecture is all about what they would want to say if they learned they were going to die tomorrow. The difference in Randy’s lecture was the he was really going to die.

Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Paudch delivered the lecture of a lifetime in September 2007. It wasn’t so much about what he wanted to say, it was more about what he wanted to say to his children in the future – the future without him. It was funny, poignant, uplifting and brilliant – an amazing statement from an everyday guy.

Thankfully someone uploaded it to YouTube – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo – be warned, it is long but SO worth the time. Once you see it, your life will never be the same.

I first saw this in December and I immediate sent links to all my close friends. The Last Lecture was made into a book and has been on the best seller list since April.
Randy Pausch passed away today at the age of 47.

Isabo Kelly UPDATE

Posted by wilderwriter on July 19, 2008

Say hello to Jack, Isabo (and Brian’s) latest creation.

Now, not being kid-centric myself, I think he looks like one of those little gnome statues you find in people’s gardens. Well, minus the bad fashions and the beard of course. Okay, quit throwing rotten veggies at me! I only have dogs and they’re cute too!

Don’t worry, Jack – I’ll be there when you get your first tattoo. :)

What is a girl to do?

Posted by wilderwriter on July 17, 2008

What is a girl to do? I was going to blog on Project Runway but the Emmys were announced today. I’m so confused.

Let’s dish on the Emmys as I really don’t have much to say about them and later I can dish on PR. I went through the list of nominees only to realize I didn’t know anything about more than half of the shows. I’m afraid network television is beyond me.

A funeral notable mentions:

outstanding reality program- Dirty Jobs versus Kathy Griffin. I love both of them but I’m pretty sure in a street brawl Kathy can take Mike. She has been working out you know.

Outstanding comedy series -my money is on 2 1/2 men only because I haven’t watched the other shows. :)

outstanding drama-I’m going to say Dexter because serial killers rule!

Outstanding lead actress in a comedy-now this show I actually watch Ugly Betty and America Ferrera has been nominated. Go girl!

Outstanding nonfiction series- Deadliest Catch baby!! I do have to say that Discovery Channel is making a ton of money off of the show and the crabbers don’t receive very much of it. (Just thought I’d throw that in there)

outstanding reality competition- I think it’s all about Top Chef but they are up against PR. This could be a close one.

If you want to see the whole list, go here http://cdn.emmys.tv/awards/2008pte/60thpte_noms.php

Happy Thursday!

Guess what day it is…

Posted by wilderwriter on July 16, 2008

It’s time for PROJECT RUNWAY!!!

Can’t help it, I just adore that show. The drama, the majesty….the seriously ugly clothes…it’s everything I want in a tv show. Will there be anyone nearly as fabulous as Christian?

I can’t wait to find out. My popcorn is bought, my jammies are clean, BRING IT ON!
