So Many Things

Only two days gone of this weekend so far and already so many things...

baseball, Battlestar Galactica, cranberry bread, shorter (lighter!) hair, The A-Team

The best thing though: I bought a completely impractical pair of shoes* that I love. Hmmm...now when will I get to wear them?

*They look like this only mine are a flat silver. :)

effects

I've been in a bit of a funk* recently--a multi-faceted funk (which is my way of saying it is too complicated to explain.) But, for me, funks often spur a greater desire than usual to escape in a good book, movie, TV show, concert, or game...(I don't actually recommend this plan, however, because it rarely clears up the reason for the funk. Avoidance is not really helpful, but it can be entertaining :)

I'm currently really obsessed with soduku (which goes hand-in-hand with listening to baseball...)

videos

I watch random videos that people post on FB or tweet about all the time, but this one is definitely worth sharing:

sports
baseball (go Twins! Oh, and I got a surprise trip to the game today; even though they lost, it was still fun!)
soccer: I'm a World Cup fan, I admit it...there is something really beautiful about an event that brings together people from all over the world; I love feeling like I'm part of it.

*When I first wrote this I just used this word because it was appropriate. But when I went and reread it, I realized it could be construed as a very clever homage to a much debated (or much maligned?) Glee episode. Just wanted to clear up that I'm not actually that witty, but I wish I were. :)
