Liking and loathing

What I'm currently liking and loathing... It's like Oprah's Favorite Things except no one gets a car and she's actually on my loathing list. But otherwise, very similar.

I am so loathing...

This whole 'rapture' thing. I don't get it. Wasn't the world supposed to end in 2012? Is that different? Oh wait. Before you explain it to me, let me explain something to you: I don't care. SNORE.

Oprah. Blah, blah, blah. Her show is ending? FINALLY. Oh wait. Now she has an entire CHANNEL? Of just Oprah-ish things? OH GOODIE! So really, all this hype about The End of Oprah is just bullshit because really, it's just The Beginning of All Things Oprah? Shoot me.

Rain in May. Okay, okay. So where you live you get snow 10 months out of the year and have to wear shoes that cover your toes sometimes. APPLES AND FROST COVERED ORANGES. People, this is my first time having a place with actual air conditioning. Dear Mother Nature, please let me have a use for it!

All the media coverage on Arnold Schwartzdouchenneggar. What an asshole. I don't want to hear the gross oily overly bronzed muscular details and I'm sure his kids don't want to read them either. The end. Please?

But! I am totally liking...

The White Buffalo. I've seen him (solo) live once and with the band once and, well, I'm smitten. Fantastic song writing and his delivery and stage presence is riveting. A new album is on its way, but in the meantime you can find his music on iTunes... Some of my favorites: The Moon, Today's Tomorrow, Story and Bar and the Beer.

Sanuks! Saw these back when I was in Maui a couple of years ago and now I'm seeing them here on the 'mainland' everywhere. Super comfortable, the must have Summer sandal and Zappos has an awesome selection of styles and colors.

Speaking of which, I love me some Zappos. I straight up earned my VIP status with them. My #1 pet peeve with online shopping is how long is takes some of the retailers to get your items to you. Not just shipping time but this so-called 'processing time' that adds a week on to your delivery. In the words of Veruca Salt, "I want it noooooow" and Zappos is as close to 'right now' as you get. Overnight shipping that means overnight shipping? YES PLEASE.

I'll be surprised if I don't hear this song quite a few times at the weddings I photograph this summer...

Yoga. I'm back in the... bend of things and I realize how much I've missed it. Besides, how great is an exercise where just breathing correctly forces you to kegel, right?

This video is a bit long but so worth it. Sobering. Amazing. Inspiring. 50 people. One city. One question.

How would you answer it?

I love sanuks ... and Dang it .. I'm in tears from that question video..

I know my answer...and maybe I regret that I still regret it after nearly 20 years, but I know that even after nearly 20 years, that regret still makes me cry the ugly cry.

I like that I can cry the ugly cry, actually. Sometimes I just need to, so I am right now. I gotta share this clip, too.

I agree with the last woman - life's too short to dwell on regrets. Our mistakes, our successes, our missed opportunities; they make us who were are now, so why lament them?

But it was a great video. I don't regret watching it. :-)

Love Sanuks and Adele. So sick of hearing about the terminator. It baffels me someone would even WANT to have sex with him. BARF>

That video made me fall in love with people. When you really look someone in the eye, and listen to them, how can you not love them?

[grace @ahead]

I am so very thankful that someone else isn't completely smitten with all things Harpo! She is re-donk-ulous!
