It never rains, but it pours
Thursday, January 21st, 2010
Planned posting postponed.
Despite disappointment, alliteration animates.
My little drama-queen in residence sprayed herself in the eye with Listerine breath-spray.
Perhaps understandable for a 10 year old.
I wonder how one explains the other 31,299.And yes, it’s funny because, once again, all’s well that ends well.
Don’t tell her I said that. -
The names have been changed to protect the innocent
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010
I didn’t have to work on Monday because of the MLK holiday, or for any other reason at the moment.
So while dancing into the wee hours of my funemployed Monday morning, I may have encouraged one or more friends to consider “slick-leave” in lieu of work. To the detriment of Greater Washington’s January productivity numbers, [...] -
Three things wrong with Michael Pollan’s Defense of Food
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010
Three year’s ago, I read this fantastic article by NYT’s Michael Pollan, in which he summed up his findings to lengthy research about what and how we should eat. Here’s what he said:
Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.
There are three things wrong with this approach:I’m fairly certain I must have a genetic deficiency of [...]

It’s 2 am, do you know where your mother is?

Maybe she’s dancing her ass off at Jimmy Valentine’s Lonely Hearts Club.
“Spinning” class takes on a whole new meaning with Stranger than Paradise. It was a pleasure to watch this duo interact on the decks.
I’m not a big fan of myspace sites. They’re so ugly and badly designed, but DJs seem to like them.
DJs Navbox and Rosario [...] -
It’s like methadone
Sunday, January 17th, 2010
It’s 11:42. I haven’t posted today. I’m out dancing with friends, so I have to come up with an idea and write about it, using only the tools at hand in under 16 minutes.
Hmmmm…
My oldest and unhealthiest habit is a pseudo additction to Coke…-a-cola
I don’t drink it every day, but there are [...] -
wHOOP, there it is!

My new fabulously, viciously delicious O-range sparkle spinnner.
As we say in my family – it makes me happy. -
Want to burn more calories? Be silly. Seriously.

“Last year the government spent less on the Ministry of Silly Walks than it did on national defense.”
Typically, I don’t believe my posts will be of a political nature, but this one’s been on my mind for a while. For me, one of the most discouraging and disappointing aspects of the current debate on healthcare [...] -
Difficulty planning your day?
Thursday, January 14th, 2010
I can’t say that I’ve had trouble planning my day. The difficulty today has been to stop planning and start doing.
It’s interesting when you’re writing a pseudo-yoga and fitness blog. There is always that debate: “Maybe I should practice, workout, or walk first before I start writing, OR write, then pose.”
But once my fingers hit [...] -
Let the big booty girls put their hands in the air!
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010
About 10 years ago, my husband and I went to a hip-hop night at a huge dance club at the Luxor in Vegas. I’m not sure if it was one of these clubs, or if it’s since been replaced by one of these. At some point during the evening the DJ/MC called out:
“Let the big [...] -
Completely, Totally, Ridiculously Vicious Yoga
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010
I almost have no words.
Except maybe “ouch” or “help” or “excuse me, you’re standing on my face.”And what is this guy looking for? I wouldn’t have guessed one could win anything by purposely sticking your head up your own ass.
