Weekend in the City

Here's another St. Germain song I love. If you've seen the most recent Yaz commercial (and can stand to sit through the string of side effects and warnings), you can hear this tune playing in the background. Yet another one to add to my Saturday drive through the city soundtrack. Have a stellar weekend. ;o)

New Dress

I love a good deal and while I was out this weekend, I stumbled upon this dress that I just fell in love with. Nevermind that my goal has been not to shop for anything I don't NEED. I'm usually good at the whole dying to self thing (as far as shopping is concerned anyway), so I don't know what happened - temporary insanity perhaps. I was walking through the mall (from the hairdresser to my car - NOT shopping) and saw this dress in the window. I think it called my name. I swear. "Teeeeee Byyyyyrd" Next thing you know, I had a bag in my hand. No worries though, it didn't put a dent in my pocket. It was only about $35 so I don't feel too bad. ha!

Food for Thought: Creativity Killers

"If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original."

This video is a few years old so stop me if you've already seen this TED talk with Sir Ken Robinson. Even if you have, it's worth watching again. Do schools kill creativity? What say you?

Starting Your Day with Randomness: Furry Weirdos

What in the Son of Sam hell? Is this cat saying, "Hello" or "Mother, I'm the Devil"? lol
Seriously, this is sort of scary. I can't watch anymore.

Talking Cat Says "Hello" @ Yahoo! Video

This one is cute. Apparently, this...whatever it is (lemur??) loves to be tickled. Of course, it probably doesn't tickle to them. It just feels good. This little weirdo reminds me of my last dog, who loved to be gently tapped with a slipper or flip-flop. It was bizarre because once he discovered the joy of flip-flop massages, he would literally throw himself in front of you as you went to put on your shoes, roll onto his back or side and wait.
"Oooh, hit me again!"

Tickle Me! @ Yahoo! Video

Random Question of the Day

Why do some birds insist on walking across the street when they could FLY?! I almost hit a little black bird that decided to RUN out into the street vs. flying across and this isn't the first time!

Good Food: Detox Day!

I've been bad lately - lots of cheese, meat, and processed food, and no fruits and veggies in too many days makes Tbyrd a grumpy gus. When I have these junk binges (it's a binge now, but when I was growing up, I ate poorly 24/7), I do what I call a "detox day". I mosey on down to the vegan kosher joint down the street and load up on veggies and/or fruit. Yum
Then I usually fast for the rest of the day.

Today's menu:



Garden Salad
Broccoli & Cauliflower curry salad (spicy!)
Vegan Macaroni Salad

Good stuff in, bad stuff out! ;o)

Blah!

I know we need the rain but I'm having a hard time appreciating it right now (even if it did wash the pollen away). I can't believe just last week I was basking in the sunlight with my pup. Doesn't he look ridiculously content?
