Sunday 2x2

This week I don't really remember what I learned. The memory of Monday through Wednesday is a total blur as I recovered from the Vegas weekend.

I learned a few things at Social Media Week Los Angeles. There were a lot of murmurs that Facebook is on the way out, especially with the tease of the new Myspace. Being a music nerd and hopelessly attracted to Justin Timberlake, I'm SUPER excited about the Myspace comeback.  Thoughts?


Secondly, this week I learned how to kick ass!! Sarahi hosted a Divas in Defense class at our house. Our instructor, the muscle-bound Chris, taught us how to defend ourselves should we be attacked. It was fun, and I actually learned a lot. I really should be more observant and careful when I'm out alone. If you're interested in hosting a class, check out www.divasindefense.com.


Next week I'm looking forward to going back to yoga!! My pulled groin muscle finally feels up to it, as long as I take it easy. Also, I received three new pairs of yoga pants. I'm so ready!

Another thing I'm looking forward to next week is the beginning of Outgoing October. It's going to be an adventurous month where I'm going to try my very best to push myself out of my comfort zone any chance I get.

This should be interesting!

Cold War Kids iHeart Radio Album Release Party - My Quick Opinions

I've seen the Cold War Kids twice now, and my favorite thing about seeing them is they love to let people see them for free in Los Angeles. A free show is always the right idea. This time I got to see them at the iHeart Radio stage in Burbank, California. It's a very cool space, and the staff is super nice. Part of this iHeart Radio streaming party was a line of questioning from iHeart Radio personality. It was cool to hear lead singer Nathan Willett talk about his love for Los Angeles and desire to use their new album, LA Divine,  to set the record straight about the city's perception. He told Billboard the album is "the best version of what [they've] always done," and I agree. There's nothing particularly outstanding about the new album. There's no new, adventurous sound. The freshest thing about LA Divine is the effect the tumultuous year that was 2016 had on the lyrics. For example, Nathan told an amazing story about an art piece in New ...

Mrs. without the "r."

Of course I'm a feminist. Not that that needs explaining, but I absolutely believe in equal treatment and opportunities for both sexes.  But being a feminist doesn't mean I burn bras every Tuesday night. I still adhere to a number of not-so-feminist-friendly traditions. For example, I hate taking the trash out. That's a "man's" job. I take the trash out when I must, but if I can ask Jersey Mike to do it , well that's just 10 times better. Typically, for me, a man's job is any job I don't want to do.  Maybe that's not quite a tradition (more me leaning on societal norms to feed my laziness). But there's one tradition that, growing up, I always thought I'd be fine:  Taking my husband's last name.  My mother kept her maiden name when she married my father. She was born a Shute and felt that shouldn't have to change just because she found a cool guy to spend her life with. Growing up it wasn't confusing for me u...

The music died with Prince today

Today I had a breakdown at work. Like a damn fool.  I had a horrible night, woke up exhausted, and decided to remain unplugged until I got to work. I wanted to take the morning slowly.  I arrived at the office, sat down in my first meeting and heard "I'm just so sad about the news. We're going to write a few things about Prince today, Doriean are you able to do that?"  So I'm sitting there like a dumbass asking "What happened?" Then it hit me. Maybe that wasn't the flu that caused Prince's plane to land suddenly last week. Maybe something was really wrong.  Because he's gone.  So then I'm listening to my assignments, trying to wrap my brain around selecting the best Prince songs (impossible). I'm talking like nothing is happening but tears are streaming. My editor asks if I need a minute and I run to the bathroom and bawl like an infant.  I've been trying to listen to music all day. But nothing compa...
