Weekly News Update for the Week of October 21st-27th 2008

Do you work all day and have no time or energy to find out what's going on in the world? Do you get bored and impatient watching TV anchors tell you over and over what's going on? Do you sometimes care more about what Britney Spears is doing than what President Bush said during his State of the Union address? If you answered yes to even one of these questions this is what you've been waiting for! Every week I'm going to give you a quick rundown of the past week's biggest headlines. I won't bore you with minute details and shove tons of information down your throats. These are just the facts with a little humor for measure! And if you want to know more you can always just Google it or ask me.

*T-Time will be celebrating its 1 year anniversary on Saturday, November 8th at 10 p.m…. so please mark your calendars and be on the lookout for the Evite and/or Facebook invite for all the details!

First comes love and babies then comes breaking the law:

Nick Hogan, Hulk's son, was released from prison after serving 166 days for reckless driving after an ugly car accident that left his good friend, John Graziano, in critical condition. Lindsay Lohan may have calmed down, but she still has to pay for her past mistakes. Lindz is being sued by the guys who were in the SUV she "hijacked" last summer to chase down her assistant after she quit! Not only is she being sued, but Lindsay just got cut from her guest role on Ugly Betty. Seems like her diva attitude, large entourage, and competing attitude with Ugly star America Ferrara was too much for the cast and crew to handle. Britney Spears caught a lucky break. Her court case regarding driving with a suspended license was dismissed when the jury couldn't come up with a verdict. Anne Hathaway's shady ex-boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri was sentenced to 4 ½ years in prison for fraud, money laundering and other fun charges. To add to David Duchovny's crazy martial issues, the actor is now suing the Daily Mail for falsely reporting that he was having an affair with his tennis instructor.

At least one X-Files star is experiencing some good news. Gillian Anderson gave birth to a son named Felix. SNL can say good-bye to their last funny female cast member...Amy Poehler announced that she would be leaving the show after giving birth to her first child to pursue motherhood and another TV deal, but everyone thought she would last through the elections. Well baby boy, Archie Arnett (dad is fellow SNLer Will Arnett) came sooner than expected! After a string of female offspring Charlie Sheen is finally rewarding the world with 2 boys (he and wife Brooke are expecting twins)…let's hope they're not as trouble-prone as their dad! Dave Grohl, of the Foo Fighters, and his wife Jordyn are expecting their 2nd child, and rapper Lil' Wayne just had a 2nd child, a son named Dwayne Carter III.

There is nothing like a tragic accident to rekindle a love match…DJ AM and Mandy Moore (not sure what she's doing these days) are a couple once again. Guy Ritchie may be going through a divorce with Madonna, but at least he has a pretty shoulder to cry on. Rumor has it the director is dating Kelly Reilly, an actress in his new movie, a remake of Sherlock Holmes. And George Clooney seems to be hanging out with his on-again/off-again ex Krista "luckiest girl alive" Allen.

American Idol alum and Oscar and Grammy winner Jennifer Hudson has had her life tragically turned upside down. Hudson's mother and brother were gunned down in their home, and her 7 year-old nephew's body was found in an SUV close to the crime scene (he was shot several times as well). William Balfour , Jennifer's sister's estranged, ex-convict husband, is the #1 suspect and is in police custody.

8 Days and Counting (Hallelujah!):

Senator Barack Obama not only has Hollywood's support but also members of the international community. London's mayor, Boris Johnson, publicly endorsed the Illinois senator. SNL had some fun with the resident Democrats. Federal agents just busted up a plot by 2 white supremacists to kill Obama and hundreds of African Americans in Tennessee...luckily these jerks were caught in time before anyone got hurt. Senator John McCain met with a who's who financial group that included former Massachusetts Governor and GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney (a millionaire businessman in his own right), former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, and other influential business people to discuss the country's economic crisis and his plan for the future. Governor and GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin, has been dealing with some more controversy. She's being blamed for spending over $150,000 on clothes and travel for herself and her family. Palin has defended herself by stating that the clothes are property of the RNC and don't reflect her true, personal values (she needs to be dressed for all these events)…not to mention the fact that this doesn't really matter considering the other important issues going on in this world. At least Palin can sleep well at night knowing that her image is the top Halloween costume idea! Both campaigns are busy travelling the country and trying to win over the 50 states (in particular the ones that President Bush one). As a dance and TV dance show enthusiast, I think the best way to choose a candidate should be based on his/her dance skills! Will Ferrell will be reprising his role as President George W. Bush on Broadway with a solo show called You're Welcome America. A Final Night With George W. Bush.

NY mayor, Michael Bloomberg, asked for a chance to run for an unprecedented 3rd term and got it! He believes that he needs to stay in office during these hard economic times...now let's see if New Yorkers agree and vote him back in. And of course Paris Hilton is continuing her campaign for the presidency!

Tuesday, November 4th is ELECTION DAY! Please take the time out of your day to vote at your local voting station. It's beyond a super important decision, and it's your way of having an active hand in this country's future!!!

News Potpourri:

I'll leave you with some quick news tidbits that couldn't fit either here or there so they're getting their own paragraph! If you're getting sick of watching the young and beautiful of L.A., then you'll be happy to hear that there will indeed be a Hills spin-off show called The City . It will star Whitney Port and her adventures in NYC. The world's fattest man just got married! See even if you weigh 1,230 lbs you can still find love! Ever find out you have an STD and don't know how to break it to your loved ones or to the random person you took home the weekend before? Well now you can send an anonymous e-card! No one puts Baby in the corner…but maybe when Dirty Dancing comes to Broadway she'll be placed Stage Left. The city of San Francisco is trying to become the first city to decriminalize prostitution. If Proposition K passes it won't make prostitution legal, but it will make it illegal for authorities to investigate and prosecute these "women of the night" (I'm as confused as you are right now). A group of Swedish scientists have found that drinking 3 cups of coffee a day can shrink women's breasts, but watch out men cause it has the opposite effect (larger man boobs or "moobs"). The Philadelphia Phillies are trying to beat the Tampa Bay Rays in the World Series...if they win tonight's rain-drenched game they're the champs. For all you Curb Your Enthusiasm fanatics you'll be happy to hear that the show has been renewed for another season. And the box office continues to prove that the mass movie goers this past weekend have no taste cause High School Musical 3 came in #1. At least we can be happy to know that this is the last of the High School musicals!!!

I hope this gives you an idea of what's going on in the world. Buck up…it's not so bad! 4 days till Halloween, 6 days till the NYC Marathon, 8 days till the election, and 12 days till T-Time's 1-year anniversary party! All is right with the world!

Now go and have an intellectually stimulating conversation with your neighbor about what you've just learned.

Weekly News Update for the Week of October 14-20th 2008

Do you work all day and have no time or energy to find out what's going on in the world? Do you get bored and impatient watching TV anchors tell you over and over what's going on? Do you sometimes care more about what Britney Spears is doing than what President Bush said during his State of the Union address?

And if you want to know more you can always just Google it or ask me.

*October 29th will mark the 1-year anniversary of T-Time. It's hard to believe that I've been filling your brains with both so much useful and useless information for a whole year! I'll be celebrating the big occasion on Saturday, November 8th...location and time TBD...so please mark your calendars and be on the lookout for an invite!

Stars in and out of Love:

It's official and officially sad...Madonna and her husband of over 7.5 years, Guy Ritchie, have called it quits. No real reason has been given, and no settlement has been reached yet (apparently there's no prenup, and Madonna hired the same lawyer who represented Paul McCartney in his massive divorce). Tensions over being separated so much, her desire to adopt another child, his desire to stay in London instead of moving to the U.S., and just the fact that they're pretty much polar opposites would be my guesses as to why their marriage failed. Now all those A-Rod rumors seem just a little more likely. Oh the twisted world of celebrity relationships. First David Duchovny randomly enters rehab for sex addiction claiming it wasn't about cheating on his wife Tea Leoni, and she was by his side supporting him through his treatment. Then it surfaces that the couple are getting divorced, followed by news that the divorce is due to her relationship with former co-star Billy Bob Thorton, followed by the news that they've actually been separated for some time and Duchovny was actually seeing his much younger tennis instructor. Whoa! Jennifer Aniston can't seem to find luck in the love department. Ever since her split from the God known as Brad Pitt she's had a string of failed relationships. But she's not going to go down without a fight. Despite a breakup which was followed by a somewhat public embarrassment on behalf of John Mayer, the couple seem to be rekindling their relationship. They have been seen all over NYC and LA. Maybe she believes in 2nd chances...Singer Nelly Furtado announced that she got married to producer, Demacio Catellonin. The only thing is they got married back in July! See how easy it is to keep a secret when you genuinely want to?!? Whoever said that reality TV love isn't real never met Trista and Ryan Sutter. The couple not only lasted after her stint as the Bachelorette, but they got married and had a super cute son. And now the couple is expecting their 2nd child. Mazel Tov!

You know you're real rock legends when you continue making headlines and you're in your 60s! Beatles drummer, Ringo Starr, announced that he will no longer be signing autographs (don't even bother sending in a request). He claims he's too busy and has other priorities. Wow...I always knew he was one of the more pompous Beatles, but this takes the cake! Not to be outshone, the cuter and more popular Beatle, Paul McCartney, has found love again after his horrific marriage to gold-digger Heather Mills ended in an ugly divorce. He has just moved in with his girlfriend of over a year, Nancy Shevell. Another oldie but goodie, Maureen McCormick, a.k.a. Marcia Brady, released a tell-all book where she admits to drinking and doing drugs and having affairs with the likes of her TV brother Greg, Michael Jackson, and Steve Martin. I just can't wait for Britney's tell-all!!!

Slowly and surely all the hottest male stars are being stolen away by women and babies. The most recent victim is Mark Wahlberg. Despite having 3 kids with model, girlfriend Rhea Durham, the couple never officially settled down. Well your chance of ever seeing him in his Calvins is over now since he announced that the 2 will wed next August. In case seeing Brad Pitt in a loin cloth in Troy wasn't enough for all you animals, the star has signed on to play Odysseus! Sean Penn proved yet again that he's not the sharpest tool in the shed by visiting Venezuelan dictator, Hugo Chavez, for the 2nd time. What exactly is he trying to prove?

Both Travis Barker and DJ AM are slowly recovering from their horrific and fatal plane crash. DJ AM made his first public appearance at a party in his honor and announced that he will be touring with Jay Z. Travis Barker had to stay in the hospital a while longer due to the extent of his injuries, but he was just released and is expected to make a full recovery. Finally fans got a reason for all of Janet Jackson's cancelled tour dates...vestibular migraines that caused vertigo. Hopefully she'll get better soon and continue on with her tour.

The 2008 American Music Award (AMA) nominations were announced. If you want to see if your fave artist made the list you can check it out here. The actual awards show will air Sunday, November 23rd at 8/7c on ABC. The L from TLC, Lisa, Left Eye, Lopes is releasing an album posthumously. Not sure what took so long, or if there's still a market out there for her music. Britney Spears's comeback is doing well...very well actually! Womanizer is her first #1 single since Baby, One More Time! Let's see how long this sane version lasts!

15 Days and Counting:

Finally! The debates are over! The election is so close! I know I'm not the only one who's tired of all of this...the campaigning has been going on for over a year!!! The 3rd and final debate was a little feistier and a little more personal, but it was also still full of talking points. If you missed it you can check it out here. The true star of the debate was "Joe the Plumber". What started as an innocent question from the plumber to Senator Barack Obama became a central point in every answer at the debate! Senator Obama is leading in the polls and has raised another record amount for his campaign (~$150M for the month of September). The Obama campaign is also getting clever with their advertising...they actually have "billboard ads" in the Xbox game, Burnout Paradise. Another positive for their campaign...former Secretary of State Colin Powell officially endorsed Obama for President.

Both candidates attended the Al Smith dinner and roasted one another...it's actually pretty hysterical and endearing. Senator John McCain had the attendees rolling in their seats, as did Senator Obama! It's nice to see the candidates let loose and genuinely have a good time!

Well she actually did it! GOP VP candidate Governor Sarah Palin made her first appearance on Saturday Night Live, and it was pretty funny. She didn't actually perform as a character, but she did take part in 2 sketches where she was made fun of! The first clip is pretty funny, but the 2nd one is truly hysterical one, and there's even some backstage footage. Senator McCain finally made it on with David Letterman after taking a public lashing for cancelling during the financial crisis but still going on with Katie Couric. A Tennessee man named his daughter Sarah McCain Palin in support of the GOP ticket but against his wife's wishes...would a bumper sticker be that bad of an alternative?!?

Senator Hillary Clinton did a couple of interviews where she claimed that she has no interest in running for President again or being on the Supreme Court, but I think she's just playing her role as supportive Democratic party member instead of bitter arch-rival! Former First Lady, Nancy Reagan, was hospitalized for breaking her pelvis but has already been released. If you're concerned with the future of the Supreme Court under a new administration this is a really good breakdown of the possibilities. With the drama with ACORN (Mickey Mouse was registered to vote) and other possible voter fraud in Ohio continuing...I have a feeling that election night will be full of drama! Oliver Stone's new movie about the current President, W., didn't do as well as expected. Don't be surprised...people go to the movies to escape reality, not deal with it for another 2 hours!

News Potpourri:

I'll leave you with some quick news tidbits that couldn't fit either here or there so they're getting their own paragraph! Here's my take on the economic situation. One day the Dow is up, and the next day it's down. I hope that's helpful. There is talk that a sequel to the movie Wall Street with Michael Douglas may be in the works. French President Nicolas Sarkozy's bank account was hacked into. If the French president's bank account and Sarah Palin's email account aren't safe from hackers, then what is? And what are they paying all that security for?!? The infamous Mr. Blackwell, the man who published the annual worst dressed list and made many a celebrity cry, died at the age of 86. Finally Beverly Hills Chihuahua was dethroned from its #1 place at the box office...Mark Wahlberg's new movie Max Payne took the top spot! CNN announced that comedian/actor D.L. Hughley will be hosting a political variety show, similar to The Daily Show, for their network. A small study proved that the classic disco hit Stayin Alive is the perfect rhythm to do CPR compressions to...it's too ironic for words! Project Runway named this season's winner, and Leanne Marshall took the grande prize. First NY and then LA hosted its Fashion Week. You can check out some of the shows here.

I hope this gives you an idea of what's going on in the world. Buck up…it's not so bad! You have a fun and busy 2 weeks ahead: 11 days till Halloween, 13 days till the NYC Marathon, 15 days till the election, and 19 days till T-Time's 1-year anniversary party! All is right with the world!

Now go and have an intellectually stimulating conversation with your neighbor about what you've just learned.

Weekly News Update for the Week of October 7-13th 2008

Do you work all day and have no time or energy to find out what's going on in the world? Do you get bored and impatient watching TV anchors tell you over and over what's going on? Do you sometimes care more about what Britney Spears is doing than what President Bush said during his State of the Union address? If you answered yes to even one of these questions this is what you've been waiting for! Every week I'm going to give you a quick rundown of the past week's biggest headlines. I won't bore you with minute details and shove tons of information down your throats. These are just the facts with a little humor for measure! And if you want to know more you can always just Google it or ask me.

Celebs Keeping Busy:

It is officially the beginning of the end of The Girls Next Door. Hef's #1 girl, Holly Madison, confirmed to TMZ that she and the robed man are over, and GF #3, Kendra, confirmed her split to E!'s Chelsea Handler. Christie Brinkley finalized her divorce from sleazy Peter Cook. Although some relationships are in the dumps, others are looking up. Comedians Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel are quietly and slowly getting back together. JLo and Marc Anthony decided last minute to renew their vows in Las Vegas this past weekend. Does this count as wedding #4 or just #3.2? Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie continue to prove that they're hotter and better than us mere mortals. Mr. Pitt was in New Orleans to announce that his organization will be building more homes. He also took stunning, private photos of Angie and the kids at their French estate for W Magazine. You can see some of them online.

Britney's new music video premiered on 20/20 NOT on MTV's TRL (go figure), but at least she almost looks normal again! Beyonce has been busy making music as well. She's released not 1 but 2 new singles and videos! T-Time prefers the catchy single (plus the dancing is out of control), but the 2nd one is for all you ballad lovers. Ryan Reynolds, fresh off his marriage to Scarlett Johansson, announced that he will be running the NYC Marathon to raise money for Parkinson's Disease (in honor of his father and fellow Canadian Michael J. Fox). Halle Berry was named the "Sexiest Woman Alive" by Esquire Magazine.

Lisa Marie Presley, the King's daughter, gave birth to twin girls named Harper and Finley. This is the 3rd and 4th child for the rock 'n' roll heir. Sporty Spice, the last Spice Girl to become a wife and/or mommy, got knocked up a few months ago and is now engaged to her long-term boyfriend.

22 Days and Counting:

Last week's Presidential Debate was another quiet event, but it did bring in the big ratings! The 2nd debate brought in a 21% larger audience than the first. Let's see how this Wednesday's debate fares! So the big day is only a mere 3 weeks away, and things are definitely heating up. Senator John McCain's campaign has been going after Senator Barack Obama and his relationship with domestic terrorist, William Ayers. Obama is also being tied to ACORN, Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now, a group that advocates for low-income voters. Some states have begun voting early, and with that there has been controversy over some possible voter fraud. ACORN is in hot water for registering people multiple (5, 6, even 10) times.

David Kernell, the young man who hacked into Governor Sarah Palin's email, was indicted by a federal grand jury. His trial is set for December 16th. Mrs. Palin is also dealing with her own drama...a.k.a. Troopergate. Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin…Sarah Palin playing Tina Fey? Trippy, but possibly happening! One fan Palin shouldn't count on? Mrs. Richie. Madonna keeps heckling the VP choice through her concert shows. After some hurt feelings and hours of ridicule, McCain will be going back on with David Letterman this coming Thursday. Hopefully they'll be able to kiss and make up. And Paris Hilton is continuing her campaign for the presidency.

What you didn't register/re-register to vote yet? Well I think it's too late for most of you, but you can double check here.

News Potpourri:

I'll leave you with some quick news tidbits that couldn't fit either here or there so they're getting their own paragraph! Blackberry is feeling the competition from the iPhone and doesn't like it. The BB people are coming out with a touchscreen version to continue and hook their users. The economy continues to mess with our minds and bank accounts. The Dow dropped hundreds of points throughout last week, but today it jumped back up over 900 points. The economy isn't only affecting the regular people, but even the multibillionaires are feeling the pinch. Bill Gates is no longer #1 on Forbes' Billionaire List...he is sadly #3. Ford announced a new line of cars that will be parent friendly/teenager safe. The new cars will have a set speed limit and set radio volume so those lead footed and deaf kiddies will be less dangerous on the road. Connecticut is joining California and Massachusetts by making gay marriage legal. Google continues to prove that it is the coolest company EVER. They've just come out with Google Goggles (say that 3 times fast) that prevent you fools from drunk emailing. Before sending you will be asked some math questions to make sure you're in the right state to proclaim your true feelings :p The Dalai Lama had surgery to remove gallstones and is currently still in the hospital recovering...send your prayers his way. In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue, and now we celebrate him every 2nd Tuesday in October. For all you movie buffs, Beverly Hills Chihuahua came in #1 at the box office for the 2nd week in a row! If you're in the NYC area and down for a good laugh you should check out 'The Hysterical Festival'!

I hope this gives you an idea of what's going on in the world. Buck up…it's not so bad! Columbus braved the Atlantic and Hugh Hefner is back on the market! All is right with the world!

Now go and have an intellectually stimulating conversation with your neighbor about what you've just learned.

Starrywood:

Oprah is just trying to be the best billionaire media mogul she can be, but people around her keep dragging her name through litigation mud! Her mom was being sued for not paying a clothing boutique's bill, and now Momma O is countersuing claiming they should have never given her a store credit card to begin with! Oprah, herself, is being sued for defamation by the ex-headmistress at her South African Girls Academy claiming Oprah's comments about her have tarnished her reputation. Oprah didn't tarnish your reputation, your poor and abusive actions did! Charlize Theron is being sued by Simon Weil for not following her contract stipulations and wearing their watch 24/7. See...if you want to get paid to pimp out products you gotta do your share!

Dancing With The Stars recent reject Kim Kardashian took being kicked off pretty hard and bawled her fake eyelashes off. Kim danced like she was in a comatose state, and the Judges called her out on it. She and her family explained that she was just 'shy'. Last time I checked shy people don't make sex tapes, star is reality shows about their lives, and pose naked for Playboy. Just admit it KK, besides your ASSets you have nothing going for you!

Howard Stern and model/girlfriend of 8 years Beth Ostrosky finally got married this past Friday at Le Cirque Restaurant in NYC. The ceremony was officiated by Mr. Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos, and the guest list included Donald Trump, Baba Wawa (Ms. Barbara Walters for all you non Gilda Radner fans), and Baba Booey, just to name a few. Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels are jumping on the California legal gay marriage train and making their union official! T-Time's mortal enemy, Rosie O'Donnell is getting her own variety show on NBC. Let's see how quick "variety" turns into a "hatred-filled, conspiracy rant" soap box. That's all I'll have to say about that!

The rumor of the week was "Britney sex tape: Real or Fake". The verdict seems to be fake. All parties deny any existence of the tape. I hear dream bubbles bursting across the world. Britney has been keeping busy promoting her new single Womanizer. She even took time out to visit some school kids in the Bronx. One little detail though…the school was closed for Rosh Hashanah so they had to call kids in. Bonus points to Brit's people for careful planning and follow-through!

Elizabeth Hurley's acting career is lukewarm to say the least, so she's been expanding into other business ventures. She will now be promoting an organic food line. Hey...if eating organic food makes me look as good as her in my 40s and post-child or even in my current state then count me in! Speaking of hot moms, Angelina Jolie made her first public appearance, since giving birth to her twins, at the NYC premiere of her new movie The Changeling, and she looked as gorgeous as ever! If you're interested in buying tickets to see a Diva, I'd recommend buying insurance as well. Janet Jackson continues to cancel shows due to a mystery illness, and Cher also had to cancel her last 2 shows of the year in Vegas due to illness!

29 Days and Counting:

The big political news of the week was the first and only Vice Presidential Debate between Senator Joe Biden and Governor Sarah Palin. Over 70 million people watched it! Most people expected Palin to crash and burn against the fast-talking Biden, but she held her own. There was also concern that the moderator, Gwen Ifill, would be biased towards Biden since she wrote a book about Obama, but all was fair on the podium-filled stage. SNL has been banking off this presidential campaign. Here's their take on the VP Debate. Rumor has it that Governor Sarah Palin may even come on to play Tina Fey! Want to know what some liberally thinking, liberally drinking NYC youths thought about the debate? Watch this!

The 2nd presidential debate is Tuesday, October 7th at 9 p.m. [EST], and the 3rd and final debate will be Wednesday, October 15th also at 9 p.m. [EST].

Ohio residents got to start voting early. Certain states are allowing early voting as a way to avoid long lines and confusion the day of. Personally I'm waiting till the very last minute cause in the race anything could go down, and I sure as hell don't want to regret my decision. What you didn't register/re-register to vote yet? What are you waiting for?!? For most states the deadline has either already passed or is coming up this week! But really you don't have to vote...just listen to the celebs!

News Potpourri:

I'll leave you with some quick news tidbits that couldn't fit either here or there so they're getting their own paragraph! You may still be holding on to the hope that the U.S. gymnastics team will win back its deserved Gold medal, but unfortunately for all you patriots the Olympic Committee has officially announced that those tiny, age-defying Chinese gymnasts were in fact "of age" and honestly won their medals. Some actual progress occurred in the financial crisis...both the Senate and the House approved a modified bailout bill. Now we wait and see... For now I'm just trying to figure out if Wells Fargo or Citigroup bought out Wachovia! It's a sad moment for the Great White Way...Hairspray will be closing up shop soon :( House Peters, Jr., the man who played Mr. Clean died this week. I'll never look at cleaning supplies the same way again. Well T-Time be d*mned...O.J. Simpson was found guilty on all charges in his Las Vegas/memorabilia case! He could potentially face up to life in prison. Hmm...I wonder if that jury had any preconceived ill notions of the former NFL star?!? Shockingly Beverly Hills Chihuahua came in #1 at the box office this past weekend. This makes me question all other box office results! A) Who would even want to see it? B) Who even really knew it was out? C) It wasn't even a rainy weekend!!! For all your Entourage freaks...your show is being renewed for another season despite poor ratings this season.

I hope this gives you an idea of what's going on in the world. Buck up…it's not so bad! Howard Stern is finally off the market, and O.J. may actually pay for some of his crimes! All is right with the world!

Now go and have an intellectually stimulating conversation with your neighbor about what you've just learned.
