the core

feeling a bit like this around the middle these days. i suppose there is such a thing as too much of a good thing... go figure. which is why i finally rejoined the gym (boo), which i just spelled like "jim" and didn't notice for a minute or two. i am so out of shape i call it a jim. thankfully this jim has a pool (yay) and some cardio dance classes that sound almost fun, so i'm actually the teeniest bit excited about it. now that's something to hang my bathing cap on.

Deepwater Horizon






ok, I can't get this video to embed... go here for a must-see story by 60 minutes on the Deepwater Horizon disaster. I really admire the engineer's courage. It's indescribably tragic and disturbing how easily it seems this could have been prevented.

bicycle rush hour

This is neato. And inspiring. I wish Chicago had entire lanes (real lanes) dedicated just to bikes. It would help deal with some of my car door sideswipe fears.

I'm tired of zooey deschanel (i mean, come on, just LOOK at the soundtrack album art... barf), but I heard this song while out last night, and I really like her (or she and him's) version.

this will make me smile for a few days everytime my computer loads up. perfectly simple c/o sandra.
i've failed a time or ten, and i've fallen flat on my face (more like crumbled) more times than i can count, but i'm not sure i've ever done them both at the same time.

fancy as a hot dog

i'm not sure if it's because it resembles stroganoff or because it looks so easy to make, but i want to try this.
