Newsroom Street Fight has a winner!

By | February 26, 2012

Prior to yesterday, I couldn’t tell you the last time I played dodge ball. In all honesty, I don’t know that I ever played. My elementary and junior high schools were far more civilized in their attempts to fill 50 minutes of PE time with kick ball, touch football, crab soccer. I may have played a rogue [...]

Around Town events: 2/23

By | February 23, 2012

Hope you didn’t miss me last week, but I heard The Capitol Steps killed (actually, I’m glad I wasn’t there because then I would’ve had to pretend like I understood their political jokes). Anyhoo, in case you missed my ramblings on First Coast Connect this morning (or any events got bumped because of too much time [...]

By | February 19, 2012

Featured drink of the day: Grassroots’ Red Sunshine with carrots (seriously, carrots, this is just getting ridiculous now), apples, orange juice and beets Ain’t gonna lie. Last night was rough. But I am pleased to report that I am back on track today. Matter of fact, I even woke up early! I know crawling out of bed [...]

CTSM 10-day Juice Fast: Day 4

By | February 18, 2012

Featured drink of the day: Grassroots Cranberry Cleanser with lemon, cranberry juice, concentrate, carrots (I told you!), apples and parsley It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. I finally discovered my favorite Grassroots juice—the aforementioned Cranberry Cleanser—but within hours of drinking it, I was starving. So I drank about a [...]

Invasion of Privacy: American idle

By | February 18, 2012

In an attempt to feed people’s insatiable appetite for celebrity gossip, The Specktator and my trusted panel of reporters, the Eye-Team, report sightings of local luminaries (aka J-listers) and “real” stars about town, in a segment we affectionately refer to as “Invasion of Privacy.” I apologize for the tardiness in reporting this sighting; however, I just found out [...]

CTSM 10-day Juice Fast: Day 3

By | February 17, 2012

Featured juice of the day: Grassroots’ Sweet Ginger with apples, carrots (see?!?) oranges and extra ginger Still not hungry. Still not ready to pass out. How can this be? Is trainer-to-the-stars Michael Walker some kind of evil genius? I mean, not only has he only convinced one of the world’s most dedicated (and dare I [...]

Invasion of Privacy: Want to wish David Garrard a happy bday?

By | February 17, 2012

Follow The Specktator on Twitter for up-to-the-minute (albeit, sometimes vague) Stalker Alerts™. I mean, how else would you know where former Jags quarterback David Garrard (whose personal website seems to have disappeared) is celebrating his birthday this weekend? Hope he remembers the pimp hat.

CTSM 10-day Juice Fast: Day 2

By | February 16, 2012

Featured juice of the day: Grassroots’ Electrolyte Replacer with parsley, celery, apples, lemons and carrots It’s day two of the CTSM 10-day Juice Fast, and I’m shocked by two things: 1) I’m not starving to death; and 2) I am not weak and/or feeling faint because I haven’t eaten in 24 hours. Not only do [...]

CTSM 10-day Juice Fast: Day 1

By | February 15, 2012

So today’s the big day: day one of the CSTM 10-day Juice Fast. To be honest, I’m a little scared. OK, maybe scared isn’t the right word. Leery is probably closer to the truth … not about the fast itself since I know trainer-to-the-stars Michael Walker wouldn’t promote it if it weren’t beneficial and, more [...]
