Farewell WCBS-FM 101.1

WCBS-FM 101.1 has been New York's Oldies station for as far back as I can remember. That's a long way back, since my father used to listen to it when I was a kid, and I'm approaching my 42nd birthday.

Apparently, as of midnight, WCBS-FM 101.1 is no longer. At least not on the radio. In its place is a new station, JACK-FM, which as its slogan states, plays whatever it wants to. It has no format (i.e., pop, dance, oldies, etc.). Although I'm going to really miss my favorite oldies station, so far I've really been enjoying the variety of music being played on JACK-FM. One minute, I'm listening to Bananarama's "Venus". The next, it's Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion". I've heard stuff on JACK-FM that I haven't heard in years.

As for WCBS-FM, it is now CBS FM 101.1, a streaming radio station, available 24/7. So, while WCBS-FM 101.1 may be gone from my radio "dial", it's not gone forever.

Hot Weekend Plans and More...

"Auntie Carol" has a hot movie and sleepover date later today. My niece Erica and I are going to see "Madagascar", and then I'll probably end up getting a beauty makeover. Think "Extreme Makeover - The First Grade Edition":)

I recently bought my first Sims game, and have become addicted to playing God with 3D computer people's lives. It's actually helped me quit smoking. I had started up again back in December, out of stupidity. But, with a combination of the patch and the Sims, I've done really well the past 10 days. A few slips, but nothing major.

To celebrate, I've treated myself to my very first iPod. I bought the 4GB blue mini. I decided against the 20GB or the 40GB, because I think 1,000 songs is enough to carry around. I mean, I have over 600 songs stored on my computer, but that doesn't mean I necessarily want to LISTEN to all 600 of them!!!

Eyebrow Shaping and Shading

Eyebrow Shaping and Shading: "Discovering the best shape for your eyebrows without sacrificing their natural appearance is what you want to accomplish when shaping your brows. Pencil thin or overly bushy eyebrows are dated looks that can be distracting rather than enhancing."

Very helpful site for anyone who has questions about how to do their eyebrows.
