I took my bike out for a good hard ride this evening.

I feel like vomiting. Apparently I need to step up my aerobic activity. Ok, admittedly I was riding a bit wild and fast. A speed nut, zip zip peddling quick and hard without warm up or warm down.

You know those commercials for Propel Fitness Water, where the tag line is, "fit has a feeling" ? I can really identify with them.

Tonight, I was Lance Armstrong, lol

I usually like anything absurd, weird, quirky, silly.. most of the time it makes me giggle.


Then I just saw this commercial on tv.

what am I missing?????

ew



I immediately researched it. I plugged in, "sour skittles milk commercial".. and it pulled up many conversations regarding this; and it appears that I am not the only one to be confused and well, kinda grossed out too- in a spoiled sour milk sort of way.

Hmmm anyone know when the official word when "rain date" fireworks will be determined? I see a slew of displays are planned for tonight with rain date for tomorrow.. but I wonder when its determined that the displays will be canceled?

Feel like a firework chaser.. saw some last night (Olcott- crazy packed with people), there should be some tonight, there are some planned for tomorrow and the weekend too, if I have my facts straight. The ones I really wanted to see took place this past Sunday. Bummer. Anyway, hope to hit up another set before its over.


heh, *fiinally* some much needed rain- hope it didn't put too much of a damper on anyones plans.

Have a good one!

• Joan Osborne was a pleasure to see at Thursday at the Square; such the lovely voice that I remember. Although I have and really like her cd, Relish (1995), I don't think I have anything else, or have really heard anything else since. With all the unfamiliar songs she sang, I decided to look to see what I have missed over the past decade. Apparently a lot: (album list)

Now I have some music to find!

The other artist.. something Hoge (Will?) was alright. The best part of that performance, was one given by a guy in the audience. He stood nearby, faced the crowd and played his Air Guitar. He was *all* into it- song after song after song. Eventually he managed to form a band. He got someone on Air drums and Air bass. It was really funny. (e:enknot) , (e:pyrcedgrrl) , (e:ladycroft) and (e:frogadelic) know all about it. You do to if you were there, it was hard to miss! haha. I think (e:laurajean) came too late to see all that.


In other mid- 90's music news..

• Spice Girls are getting back together?!?

yes, for a reunion tour- as a 'thank you' to the fans...

the Spice Girls insist they are not back for good. "This is going to be a one-night stand," said Geri.

The girls promised to perform all their classic hits during the show.

While I am not a fan, the Spice Girls are a little bit of an inside joke for me. I've got a little purse, notepad and a few um, *cough cough COUGH* songs on my iPod. ('gifts' from friends) I remember when they appeared on the scene. So not related, but in my music history, it was at the tail end of the grunge phase and just before "alternative" became mainstream. There was a lull in music- everything kinda dark, moody and edgy, even on the otherwise pop hit music stations. Then these ladies emerged and then a slew of lighter, bouncier music followed. Why I remember this, I do not know. I am full of random/useless memories and trivia.

for giggles, I pay homage to the Brit ladies with one of their songs as a user sound.

enjoy ;)

I got stung by a bee :(


The last time that happened, I was probably three, running through my back yard barefoot.. and stepped on one of the little bees that go from tiny flower to tiny flower among the grass.

Considering how much time I spend outdoors, and how often I am planting, raking ,digging, trimming, weeding and anything else that brings me into close contact to bees, I am surprised that it hasn't happened before now.

This booger was a yellow jacket, I think.

I tried to retailiate by busting out a can of wasp and hornet killer, but let me tell you, that only pisses them off more, and no, you really can't out run a bee. I tried. I am sure it was comic to anyone paying attention..

and yes, I know that they should be sprayed in the morning or at dusk when they are least active.. not in the middle of the day when they are flying out looking to get more than a little piece of me (it got my wrist).

So anyway, after running in circles away from a mob of angry bees, I aborted my yard work for the day.

But not all was lost! I went inside to rinse my bee stung wrist, and upon going back outside through the garage, an older gentleman ( a neighbor) was standing at the garage doorway to give me a bag of cherries from his yard. A sweet ending.. Yum!
