Sometimes using the little mic icon on your phone to search Google is awesomely accurate… sometimes it’s not. My sister was in town and since we have a heated competition going between our two favorite NASCAR drivers, of course we’re going to search for the latest news. All I have to say is, Jeff Gordon’s cat is probably quite embarrassed after this…
How to prank a co-worker
A buddy of mine at work is none too pleased that I’ve taken on this new vegan-ish diet because once a year, we battle in a no-holds-barred body composition assessment. He already waved the white flag (though we measure in October), so to help him feel better the other day, I brought him a cup of syrupy shave ice. He humbly returned it and said it’s mine and I should eat it. I packaged it and brought it back saying it was a gift from a recent sponsor at our place of employment. He rejected that too. So the only responsible thing I could do is humiliate him semi-publicly.
Yes, it’s in the company refrigerator…

I was feeling pretty manly, then I watched Beauty and the Beast…
Talk about something there that wasn’t there before, it’s Beauty and the Beast
C’mon Belle, you know you rather have Gaston. This just got real. I’d also like to thank 2011 for the “said no girl ever” punch line. It’s just as funny 3 years later! But we all know deep down Bingley was the man, right? Unlike Beast, though, who was not a man. Because he was a beast. Listen, if I have to spell all this out for you it’s going to be a long day.
Though Beauty and the Beast started with the much-feared lullaby-like song, the pace picked up. It was crystal clear what was going to happen. Belle was going to rescue the beastly handsome animal (and fall in love) while also rejecting the arrogant fella, Gaston, who acts like he deserves her as a wife. There’s really no need to get into the details of her falling in love with a beast because hey, we’ve all seen some pretty rough online dating profiles. The beast actually may be an upgrade.
I give a high five and a heartfelt chuckle along with a nod and a slippity slap secret handshake to whoever was in charge of details in this movie. Get past the predictability and check out the endearing details that remind us of how fun and funny it is to be human. For instance:
The “a hem mm hmm memm” before stating “dinner is served” made me laugh so hard. I skipped back a few times to watch it again and umm, yeah, even recorded it on my, uhh, phone. In the end, I’m a fan of this movie. I really think it’ll catch on and be a hit… as long as Darcy and his pride don’t make a cameo and ruin everything ever.
A Fridge Full of Hipster Food
Thanks to a 48-hour challenge from my friend Nick Shell, I’ve got moldy cheese, expired eggs, a fridge full of hipster food… and I couldn’t be happier about it. If this were 2013 and you offered me almond milk I would’ve said, “Get outta my face!” But how quickly things can change (not “Get outta my face!” that won’t change, don’t you worry. It just won’t be about almond milk). I’m not a newly-minted hipster, either. The next time I visit family in Florida, I won’t bring kale or PBR or a fedora, but I will have a cooler full of spinach, rice, spaghetti, mixed nuts, carrots, hummus, and almond milk. Cutting out dairy altogether seems to have eliminated my allergy symptoms and a quick side note, Nick pointed out that humans are pretty much the only ones to drink milk from a different species. If that doesn’t gross you out, maybe this will. Yowza. Kingpin was a good movie. The next time you drink milk from a cow, imagine it’s from a bull and POW! You’ll at least be a vegetarian. You’re witnessing the biggest shift in my life and I’m excited to continue the journey! Do you have any stories about your diet and changes you’ve been making? Any advice for a newby healthy eater?
