Don't Disrespect the Goog

In the past 24 hours, I've come across two mind-numbing singles from two of the most unbelievable Real Housewives cast members.  Last year, brain cells fried from coast to coast when Kim Zolciak of the Atlanta cast burst onto the music scene with Tardy for the Party.  We all watched as she struggled through the track on the RHWOA reunion show and prayed that would be the last bit of "music" we would hear out of her wig-clad head.  Alas, a  mere 12 hours after my ears were infected with Danielle Staub's Cry (the craziest RHWONJ cast member in case you're not as well-versed in the series as Michelle or I are), Kim managed to out-pathetic her with this little diddy, Google Me. Do they know about this in Silicon Valley? I realize Googlers have more important, world-changing matters to tend to, like perfecting the "undo" feature on Gmail, but still. I hope Google's cutthroat legal team doesn't take this slander lightly and bans her from uttering another verse of her newest single.  In protest I'm sticking to Bing for the rest of the week...at least until she releases a sequel to Google Me, Bing It.

Adorable Bunnies in Paper Cups

Sure I realize the video link below is simply that: two little bunnies in paper cups. But how adorable are they with their little nose wiggles? It made me giggle and was a nice lil mid-day cuteness break.

Wall Street: Money Naps Occasionally

Money never sleeps, eh? Does Chase know about this? Well Dave and I saw the second installment of Wall Street this past weekend and even though several times I found myself completely confused about what was going on, I still really enjoyed the flick. Michael Douglas is relentlessly likable, even though we should know better after seeing the original WS (which is currently available on-demand). Every woman want's to believe the dashing man in the suit can change his evil ways (enter Blair Waldorf). Both Dave and I felt as though his daughter’s hotness should have been escalated as she wasn’t very believable as Shia LeBeouf’s romantic interest (total 2 point rule violation). 

Next up is the Social Network so I can actually know what’s going on and Dave can sit there in a cloud of confusion. “Like” whaaa??

P90X = More Quotable Quips Than Road Trip

So Dave and his buddies all started P90X on Monday and I've decided to tag along for part of the ride. I jumped in (pun intended) for last night's plyo's workout which P90X creator Tony Horton dubbed, "“The mother of all P90X workouts." Luckily, explosive, fast-twitch muscle drills were kind of my thing in college.  Unluckily, this also lead to man-calves, 2 stress fractures, and 3 surgeries. Anyway, we start the 60 minute plyo workout and within the first 5 minutes I'm completely distracted by this guy's 90's workout instructor quips. Of note:

  • “Hamburger bad, fries bad, coca-cola bad….There I said it. Drink your water people“.
  • “Don’t go grab a pastrami sandwich”
  • “If you’re doing Plyometrics you can jump higher and run faster and your heart and lungs are going to kick the panties off of anybody else that tries to get out there without it.”
  • “Get sexy with it.”
Needless to say, I'm pretty psyched for tonight's installment, and not necessarily for the arms/shoulders workout, but mostly to have more material for a new post.

Salt Communications Presents: Mad Men Happy Hour


Especially necessary given the week we've all had to endure (not to mention a stubborn to-do list that just won't get any shorter).

Cheers and happy Friday!

When Did It Become Fall?

Remember the SATC episode where Charlotte asks, "When did it become Fall" and Carrie removes a perfectly folded blanket from her dresser, curls up in it and you can actually feel how calm and comforted she is though the TV? Well, when DID it actually become Fall.

When did I begin sipping pumpkin spice lattes and fall (ha pun) into my Winter work wardrobe consisting of solely leggings (or jegging) with boots, a tunic, an oversized sweater and neck-engulfing scarf?
When did shopbop post their Fall 2010 Trend Report?
When did Katie and I begin discussing which Halloween masterpiece to execute this year?
When did JT$ begin loving fashion again?
When did a standard Saturday ritual change from making hair appointments for weddings to spending the morning trying to find my issued UW arm band?
When did it become ok again to not be productive on a Sunday and sit on the couch all day watching football?
Most importantly, when did my wardrobe all of the sudden become (gasp!) outdated?!?
