When funny strikes...

Here are some little things that have been funny lately:

NPR has been having their reporter Libby Lewis covering the Lewis Libby indictment. I think Linda Wertheimer almost cracked up when she introduced the story.

My friend Dana taking me to an introductory stripper pole dancing class....and the only thing I took away from it is this highly confidential stripper secret: The way to prevent bumps around the bikini line is to put men's "Old Spice" white deodorant stick down there. Tasty.

After spending the last 5 months working a job where I never stop moving, I had to spend last weekend at an 8 hour/day sit down conference. I perfected the art of sleeping sitting up, although I could be less violent with the fully body jerks that wake me up.

My husband has been growing out his hair ever since he stopped working "for the man". He is very close to having a mullet, if it was properly shaped it could be beautiful:

I Can't Watch

I recently joined LA Fitness to use their cardio equipment during the rainy months...and I'm realizing that I can't watch other people work out and do things wrong or down right dangerously. For example, I see folks twisting in their backs with weighted resistance, people doing sit ups and jutting out their necks with strong shear forces, and it takes every ounce of self-control I can muster not to say anything. One of my professors back at school actually got 86'd from a couple of fitness clubs for giving people advice! Aahhh, one of the downsides of being a physical therapist. Now I understand why most Americans have multiple episodes of acute back pain during their lives....they should really teach folks how to move their bodies at young ages during school. It would likely save millions of dollars and people would have a better understanding of their own body.

The Dude Abides

New York has had a few fun things going on lately....coming up they have the "Lebowski Fest", celebrating all things good and pure about one of the best movies of all time. Of course that includes white russians and UNLIMITED bowling. I particularly like one of their t-shirts that says "I can get you a toe". Ha Ha. It's already in the mail. Last weekend the wild folks from Improve Everywhere (best known for riding subways without pants on) had a huge mp3 gathering in central park which included walking across the park like zombies and having a huge rock paper scissors contest. Man, Seattle has to get its butt in gear...Manhattan can't have all the fun :( !!!!

One Nightmare Gone

Ever since I was a little kid I have been terrified at the thought of quicksand. Probably has something to do with movies like The Princess Bride, and The Neverending Story showing people being slowly consumed with no way to escape except to be rescued (preferably by a flying dog/dragon). Worry no more, researchers in the Netherlands have shown scientifically that quicksand is not a bottomless pit and it is possible to escape! Hooray!
