Celebrity Mention: Dennis Hopper receives star on Hollywood Walk of Fame


The ailing Dennis Hopper received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday. Although he is famously known for the film 'Easy Rider', I have to say I absolutely LOVED him in David Lynch's 'Blue Velvet'. I firmly believe no other actor could have pulled off that role (and totally creep me out) the way Dennis Hopper did. Oh yeah, I also did enjoy him as the mad bomber in one of my guilty pleasure can't-believe-i'm-admitting-movie, Speed with another guilty pleasure can't-believe-i'm-admitting favorite film couple, Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock.

Purchase of the Day: National Arrowroot Biscuits


Wow, I haven't blogged in over a month and when I do, the purchase of Nabisco's National Arrowroot Biscuits (yes, for babies, but I absolutely LOVE to snack on them) compels me to write about it.

I haven't been able to find these anywhere (tried Wal Mart, K-Mart, Target, local grocery stores) and no, Gerber Arrowroot is no substitution for the Nabisco ones.

Anyway, I found a 6-pack box on Amazon for $12.50! That sure beats the $5-$7 per 2 pack box (!!!) other online stores were selling it for. I remember a box would go for about $2.50-$3 so I was happy to save and get more on the 6-pack on Amazon. YES!

This is a happy purchase indeed.
