Swing dancing lessons
I recently started taking swing dancing lessons with my boyfriend, L., and it's a total blast! He has already taken numerous lessons and been swing dancing for several years, so thankfully he's already got the whole lead thing down pretty well. He's just taking the classes for my benefit so that I can learn.
As we were in class yesterday, I realized how much more difficult it must be to learn the lead part. Not only do you have to know the steps, but you have to be really aware of hand and arm position so that the person following can figure out what the heck you want them to do. Now in many things in life I'm a leader, but here is a case where I'm just glad to follow. It's pretty cool how you can tap into another person the way that you do in dancing.
Also, I now have two really cute pairs of dance shoes - one that I use in classes and for more casual stuff, and a pair of fun, sexy heels for a night out. I like any sport where I get to wear cute shoes and dance with my handsome guy :)

Men's shaving commercials
What's up with men's shaving commercials? Is there a reason that they always have to be so corny - they always show the close-up of the amazing razor, illustrate how incredible an experience it is to shave with the thing, and then end with the beautiful woman in awe of his newly shaven face.
Come on. I don't know one guy who likes to shave. I suppose that's why they have to try and entice men into shaving with the stupid commercials, but no one is buying into that. I'm for truth in advertising - tell it like it is. Guys, shaving sucks, but your significant other will appreciate it and be much happier to get close to you when you're not all prickly. It's the same reason that I go to the spa to get my legs waxed - I don't enjoy it in the least, but it's for a greater good.

So wrong
Hmmmm...what's up with Italy? Thanks for posting this, A.
This is so wrong. A guy forced his step daughter to perform oral sex on him and received a lighter sentence than normal simply because she wasn't a virgin. He argued that her previous experience should be considered. Wwwwhhhaaaa? Since when is virginity a factor in determining the sentence for a pervert in a sexual abuse case?
And equally disturbing:
"In recent years [the Italian supreme court] has ruled that 'an isolated and impulsive' pat on a woman's buttocks at work did not constitute sexual harassment, and returned a verdict that a woman could not have been raped because she was wearing skin-tight jeans."
Right. I know that every time I wear skin-tight jeans, I'm just asking for it. And why should I mind if a co-worker pats my ass?
That would be me in a parallel universe. In this universe, here and now, I'll wear what I please and I'll promptly kick a guy in the balls if he grabs my ass. Sho' 'nuff. Let's hope that Italy gets its act together and stops taking the women's movement back to the dark ages.

My 60 GB iPod
I got my 60 GB iPod this morning!!! Thank goodness I overslept, or I would have missed the delivery guy. Of course, with my job there really isn't any concept of oversleeping as long as you make the meetings and get your work done for the week, but I still have a general time by which I like to be in the office.
Anyway, back to the amazing iPod. This thing is incredibly sweet! After having the iPod mini for the last year, I'm used to the non-color display, smaller window, etc. My new iPod actually shows the album covers, plays videos, and displays photos. To friggin' cool, man. Plus, it's got the black front with the silver back, and I had it engraved with, "laughter is the music to which the heart sings" because ya'll who know me know that I love music and a good laugh. I'm a very happy girl today :)

Sing-alongs and Lullabies
The album that Jack Johnson did for the new Curious George movie is really good. Very fun and relaxing - I highly recommend it.
On a related note, I ordered a new, kick-ass iPod and should get it in a few days - wahoooooooo!!! 60 GB of media, here I come!

Ashtray ads
Can we please call an end to the ads from this place? http://ashtraymouth.com/
The first time I saw one, my boyfriend and I were at a movie enjoying refreshments during the ads and film previews. Up pops these disturbing dolls, one of whom shoves a pile of shit in her mouth. Ick.
A couple of weeks later, I was stuck behind a bus on the way home that had the same doll with the shit in her mouth and the caption, "Kissing a smoker is just as gross."
Hmmmm. Really? Dunno about that. I've kissed smokers, and while not my favorite thing, I'm sure that I'd pick kissing a smoker over kissing a freaky doll with something nasty in its mouth. Ugh. The whole campaign is just not good...
On a related but much nicer note, keep up the good work E.! I'm very proud of you for quitting smoking b/c I'd better have you around when we're old and senile :)
