Switch!

No we are not talkin about the Fresh Prince's 2005 candy gram banger. This is the Maine Switch. A local, feel good, lifestyle weekly in Portland Maine.

APT family member and scribe B Ray has been lockin it down since day one. The girl has street cred. She is a graduate of the Sweet Valley High Ghost Writer University. Hell yeah! Think Rhodes Scholar meets lip gloss.



Recently she has been highlighting the work of some of APT's finest in her column entitled, Success Stories. Check articles about MAV and APT's version of Batman and Robin.

Sorry, Turk...


Every line in the box score is filled IN!
38 pts, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals

"This One Goes Out To All the Baby's Mamas..."

Brace yourself friends of APT. On this merry Mother's Day, prepare to have your bellies decimated by laughter. These joints come by way of India's famed Bollywood (I think), supported by the ridiculous renderings of internet mysterio Buffalax; add ice and stir. Julie Kuceris of Four Walls Gallery gets all due thank-props for unearthing these tasty morsels.

King Roomie @ 51 Warf Street

Testify

If you can't make it to Church this morning, well APT will bring a little Church to you. Grab the good book, open your ear holes, and let Lexington, Kentucky super group, The Health and Happiness Family Gospel Band shake you to your foundation.



This one is called Sinnerman. It's an old spiritual made famous by Nina Simone. Praise the lord and pass the snakes!

Go Celtics. Game seven at 1pm on ABC. Amen.

Geeks Rejoice

There are factions of the APT family who limit their reading and viewing choices to materials containing wizards, dwarves, dragons, and oracles. No judgement kids, you know who you are though. And yeah, I may be lookin in the mirror on this one as well.

So what am I rambling about...Mexican director Guillermo del Toro has just signed up to direct the two Hobbit films set for release around 2011. This dude crushed it with The Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth. For one, I am glad that Peter Jackson is taking on the production role, and hanging up his directorial spurs. Did you see King Kong? Gross!


(del Toro inviting a stylish Snipes to the Pizza Hut All-You-Can-Eat Buffet to discuss the role of the Dungeon Master in D & D)

PS Celtics 110 Hawks 85. PP line: 10-17 from the floor. 22 pts, 7 boards, 6 assists in 34 minutes. T-Mac my arse.
