KEWLteam Weekend!

Friday, September 12th, 2008

Our kewlteam will be covering two hot premieres this weekend, and asking all those crazy kewl questions of the stars right there on the red carpet!

Saturday is the premiere of Igor, so there will probably be tons of older and younger stars on the carpet, and Sunday is Another Cinderella Story, which will be a smorgasbord of Disney stars! Our kewlteam can’t wait!

Hope your weekend is kewl too!

New Things on the Horizon!

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

The KEWLteam is branching out and trying new things this week! Like, Susan is trying out the actress thing and going on auditions! Jody the intern is starting school in Fashion and Design! Denise and Mike are looking for new ways to bring more KEWL into your lives (KEWLFEST, anyone?). Our web developers are hot on track to launch a new and improved version of kewlmag.com! We’re not exactly sure what photog Eric is up to that’s new, but since he’s out at events all the time, we’ll just consider his whole job to be ‘new and exciting’ everyday!

What new things are you trying out?

Do You Use Your Head?

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

It’s always the same. When presidential elections come around, people start to get really hot and bothered about them. Even people who don’t even vote yet! Well, there’s nothing wrong with being passionate about what you truly believe in - it’s only a problem if you haven’t done your homework! Politics shouldn’t be like rooting for your school team. In sports, you can always hope your team wins, and the outcome doesn’t change millions of people’s lives. In politics it does.

So before we blindly root for the ‘home team’, make sure you agree with all the things that your team stands for. Decide what is important to YOU, and whether your team is standing up for those things. The information is out there, and since both sides are doing there darndest to get people’s support, it’s a perfectly good opportunity to ask questions and expect answers.

And whatever you do, respect other people’s right to their own opinion - Especially if you expect them to respect yours! In calm discussion with people who don’t agree with your ideas, you can find out why other people feel the way they do. If you really want to convince someone that your way is right, you have to really listen and accept their way of thinking first, then show them what is better about your way. Who know? On the way you might even improve your way of thinking!

In America, we have the freedom to choose our leaders, and everyone has the right to their own opinion. Think about what you want to see changed, and then see if you can do anything to change it. Using your head is the best way to be the best American you can be.

You can also get some good ideas for getting involved at RandomKid.org. We’ll write more about them soon!

What’s Your Fave Game?

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

We’ve been doing a lot of quizzes and games around here, and because we’re ‘wordsmiths’, we find we love all the word games, like crossword puzzles, acrostics, search a word, boggle, anagrams, scrabble, etc. But we also kinda like trivia games like trivial pursuit, movie quizzes, celebrity search games, history, sports science. Recently we even tried out a new game called ‘running charades’! It’s just like charades, where you act out clues using no words, but you play in teams that are in different rooms in the house. One person has a list of clues in the center of the house, and each team gets a clue, runs to their team, acts it out, and whoever guesses it right, runs back to the clue-giver, tells them the correct answer and gets the next clue to act out. There are only ten clues, so you have to get through them quick, and with all the running, things can get pretty hectic!

What are your fave games?

An Incredible Weekend!

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

The KEWLstaff all took a nice long weekend off and spent some quality time with their families! Some of us got seriously lazy. Some of us went to art fairs and music festivals. And some of us went for long walks along beautiful beaches in beautiful weather. All of us had our thoughts with those in the Gulf Coast area, and wish them full recovery soon.

What did you guys do?

Share!
