NICE

This makes me want to hug the detective all day long.

I'm so glad I saw this

I took Sarah home from work yesterday and we stopped at Gaby's house to hang out.  I didn't even realize it was the closing ceremonies and I had forgotten all about the spice girls being there.

SO GOOD.

But really the best part was that it prompted Sarah to request we watch Spice World.  Wow.  Wow.  I definitely have not seen that movie since I was probably like 11 years old.  It brought back a lot of feelings, the strongest being my love for Posh.




I love when she looks at the tunnel she is supposed to crawl through and then just turns her head and keeps walking like she didn't even notice it.  That is EXACTLY the kind of thing I would do.

Now I am going to be on a Spice Girls kick for a while.  Who am I kidding, I already have spice girls on my main playlist, I'm just going to add a couple more in to the routine.

"Stop right now, thank you very much, I need somebody with a human touch"

thank goodness

You know the old adage about people with anus's that are weak in spirit.

I've missed a couple good ones because I forget about it and then it catches me off guard.  I don't end up really realizing what it says until after I've already hit A.  Like, "Hey, what's up Uranus?"

I think that's how I will start greeting people.  Sometimes it's a valid question.

a good youtube journey

This morning I randomly went back to this post, which I haven't listened to in a while.  Ugh it's so good.

Then I see that one of the recommended videos is this: 

Just as satisfying, if not more just because it's all live.

So then one of the recommended videos for that was of Nicole Scherzinger doing Phantom of the Opera.  Now, I've actually loved her for a long time and always knew she was a great singer but I have never actually watched or heard her do anything like this.




I think it's funny when people criticize amazing singers who don't appear to be doing much besides standing and singing.  If you think that she isn't working her ass off to sing those notes, especially at the end, then you don't understand singing.  And Nicole is such a great example too because you know she can dance if she wants to:




It's a shame that her solo career didn't take off more.  I really liked the songs of hers that I heard.  And I could watch her in music videos for days.  She's just so beautiful.

Anyways, let this be a lesson to you, sometimes watching the recommended videos on youtube is the best thing you could do with the hour of your morning dedicated to coffee and internet.

ready for christmas

The general consensus about this sweater seems to be that it makes me look like Christmas.  Specifically people seem to think that I should be serving baked goods while wearing it.

Of course with my short shorts it's Christmas in Miami cause you know, you only wear sweaters for show down here.  I normally would not be wearing a sweater this early to begin with but fall is already here in the eyes of work so I have to figure out a way to wear things like this in August still.

And if pretending that it's actually December is the way to do it then I will get on board.  Especially because it means I can listen to this:




As if I wasn't already...

for Jonathan

I'm going to sleep with this in my head.  Thank you for sending it to me Jonathan.

views from my run

After months of diligently dragging my ass out for a run as frequently as possible I have finally been able to extend my distance enough to include a new route.  It's very exciting.  Before I was just doing a loop on A1A and ending up back where I started, now I've widened my loop to take me all the say south to the next bridge.

So that picture is the view of the intra coastal in the opposite direction as the ones I usually post, for reference.  What's really fantastic is that my new route actually takes me along the beach.  I would take a picture but I'm always running during that part which is not conducive to picture taking.  But it is quite a view!

After crossing the bridge at Sunrise I make my way back to my apt by going along a more residential street.  By this point I'm walking (for now anyways) so it's nice to check out the homes and the landscaping.  And the canals!

I want to live there and throw block parties.

But for now I will just have to enjoy running past.  And I have been!  Especially because my new route seems to get me a lot more attention, I usually get at least one horn honk in appreciation from a passing motorist now.  Maybe it's just because I'm covering more distance than before so I'm increasing my odds.  I don't know, but I like it.

Today, however, is yoga day, so I will be getting no toot toots from anybody.  Well that's not true, I might get one from the detective.  He is the most interested in me when I'm trying to hold myself up in an awkward pose, especially if I can't defend myself from him.

Maybe I will just go for a run...
