I love these guys!


Two of my favorite men joined forces on BBC Radio One Friday morning and I missed it!! I had it on my calendar and everything. If you have no idea who the cuties above are let me fill you in. On the right we have Chris Moyles DJ extraordinaire and host of the Chris Moyles show every weekday morning from 6:30-10:00am on BBC radio one. Get yourself to a sirius radio and check him out ASAP!
One the left we have Robbie Williams, or the Robster as those of us who are up close and personal like to call him. If you have never had the treat of hearing Robbie then head on over to itunes and download some deliciousness. Make sure to check out a few videos while you are there. Old school favorite right now would be "Radio"-you can't beat beat satanic cheerleaders. Newer favorite "Sin Sin Sin" yes this man does have a HUGE ego! I can't wait to see his new video "Bodies" in it's entirety. Let me know what you think! Have a great holiday weekend everyone!

The chicken or the egg?


As much as I love the blog "More Ways to Waste Time" this photo gave me traumatic second grade flashbacks. In Mrs. Vasquez's 2nd grade class we hatched chicken eggs and learned about how the chicken embryo developed etc. since then I have been unable to eat an egg unless that gelatinous white stringy thing (I'm sure it has a name) has been cooked to the consistency of concrete. When I saw this photo I almost lost it and I re-affirmed why it may be a good idea to avoid eggs altogether.
There is a happy/sad end to the second grade egg project. I got to keep on of the chicks. He was so cute and fluffy and I named him Clampsys. Then he grew up and became the ruler of our back garden, chasing down anyone who dared enter his domain and attacking with both beak and spurs. One day he was gone. My mother's theory was that the next door neighbors put a chicken hit out on him. Who really knows. What I do know is from the age of seven on I took my eggs over hard.

Too scared to scoot!


Red Scooter, originally uploaded by PDPhotography.

I loved having a scooter in college and often yearn for the zippy freedom and low gas mileage that those days held. However after stopping to assist in a scooter vs. road accident yesterday I think I may put the scooter fantasy on the back burner.

Driving down the street in my not so zippy red van I happened upon an man and his scooter sprawled out in the middle of the road. While another car had already stopped they didn't have a cell phone and seemed to be in a state of panic. I donned my super hero cape--jumped out of the car--called 911 and held the man's hand until help arrived.

I realized my dreams of a red vespa instead of a red van were one blown front tire away from it being me sprawled out on the concrete. I think I will re-think the scooter thing. I might be wimpy but I will be intact!

I Love Jeff Lewis

I was so wrapped up in old episodes of flipping out that I almost burned the bread I am making for church tomorrow! If Jim doesn't find a job I wonder if I could work for Jeff Lewis? I have a pretty thick skin--I mean my husband is from Long Island, how much worse could it get?

upstairs, downstairs

I am thrilled that Maggie is allowing me to use her room in her absence! Not only have I double the square feet of my studio and gained a great view of the neighborhood (just call me Mrs. Cravitz) but I get an added workout everyday running up and down the stairs. After my summer of sin I will still have to put in my gym time to undo my holiday damage but my new bi-level studio status may just make it a little easier.
