HALP.

Hi friends.  I was wondering if you could help me out?  I am completely, totally, unendingly BORED with my current iPod playlist.  I need some new music!  Music to work to, music to work out to, music to chill to.

Here’s where you guys come in.  I need some recommendations, in a bad way. What are you guys listening to right now? What moves you – physically, menally, emotionally? What’s new out there that you love? What’s old school that you’ve recently resurrected?

SAVE ME from my music boredom. Leave a comment (preferred, so we can share your genius with the world), or shoot me an e-mail.

Once I have a new playlist I’ll post it here to inspire you all. 

THANKS!

Beverage savvy

One of the after-effects of this seemingly unending stint with the flu was a deep and abiding thirst.  It seemed that Calvin and I just could NOT get enough to drink.  We drank every drop of non-water beverage in the house, so when I went grocery shopping today it was almost like I was high, except the craving was for liquid rather than munchies. It wasn’t until I unloaded the groceries that I realized just how MUCH I got to drink:

• Beer (natch)
• Milk (natch)
• Grape juice
• Apple juice
• Grapefruit juice
• Iced tea
• Root beer
• Pepsi One
• Pepsi
• Fruit Punch Gatorade
• Grape Gatorade

I am currently indulging in a cup of grape juice with more ice than juice. I am developing a purple mustache that harkens me back to the second grade, running in from playing all grubby and out of breath.

Ahhh… firsty.
