More Gratuitous Yoga Footage (Sorr Not Sorr)

Breakthrough!

PS this time Jeffrey was home so I made him tape me. Embarassing. Single men, take note: this is what your life will someday look like. Being asked to tape yoga stuff. Get pumped.

The Perils of Sharing Metro Trains with Middle Schoolers

Top things I dislike about DC: #2.  Tourists.  #1.  Middle school tourists.

Top thing I like about DC: incredible, state-of-the-art Smithsonian museum system (and zoo) provided free to the world by generous taxpayers, donors, and companies who value science, history, and education.  It would take you a week to visit all of them, yet when 7th graders come down for 2 days, where are they spending 5 hours of their trip? THE MALL.  No, not the National Mall, I mean the FOOD COURT mall.  Where instead of free learning opportunities, they get to squander their parents’ money buying age inappropriate stripper attire at Wet Seal.

My home has the misfortune of sharing a metro stop with the mall so I spend a great deal of time with these wily little beasts.

From today’s commute:

Demon Middle Schooler: Guys we need to sing happy birthday to Kelly.  Let’s do it RIGHT NOW!
Other Demon Middle Schooler: Yes, yes, yes! (lolololol)
Are these 15 girls seriously about to screech happy birthday on this train? No.  NO.  SWEET GOD NO. [Worried looks exchanged between adult passengers]
Sensible Middle Schooler: No, guys, come on, don’t do that.
Her! Yes! Listen to her! SHE WISE CHIEF!
Demon Middle Schoolers: Haaappp…….
Sensible Middle Schooler: No, for real, not here.
Other Sensible Middle Schooler: We’re not with them…
Demon Middle Schoolers: ppppppppyyyyyy…….
YOU KEEP THAT UP AND I WILL CUT ALL OF YOU
Demon Middle Schoolers: Biiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrr…………

End of narration.  I left train.

And yes, get off my damn lawn, turn down the music, etc etc etc.  I’m a proud curmudgeon on this.  On behalf of all of DC, more chaperones.  PLEASE.

What I Learned About NSync Today

They still have a website…

For a stupendous read, I highly recommend from it: *NSync’s Bio.

I don’t want to spoil the fun for you, but you should know that these are direct excerpts from this document:

 It all started with dauntless rehearsals in an Orlando warehouse filled with hope.

In March, it lit the airwaves like fireworks, washing away FM’s dark veneer and offering a proper introduction to the consummate millennium-era hitmaking ensemble.

The members also revealed their writing skills on a number of tracks, including Justin’s contribution to first single, the jive-talking Pop, which said it all: “I’m sick and tired of hearin’ all these people talk about/What’s the deal with this pop life/And when is it gonna fade out?/The thing you’ve got to realize/What we’re doing is not a trend/We got the gift of melody/We’re gonna bring it til the end.”

In an instant, the world’s most popular boy band graduated to the major leagues in terms of artistic achievement.

The uptempo, sing-along Tearin’ Up My Heart came next, reaching the top 15, establishing the group as stalwart chart warriors, while awakening record labels to the dazzling star power coming out of Sweden that was fueling the group’s ascendancy.

It also employs, in great seriousness, the phrase “magical journey”, and frequently uses “the boys” as an alternative to the pronoun “they.”

The end.  Oh and PS, I talk a big game but *NSync at Hershey Stadium circa 2000 (No Strings Attached tour- respect) was my first concert experience and therefore holds a special place in my heart.  JC I LOVE YOU 4EVER WILL YOU SIGN MY BOOBS AND/OR CALL ME ON STAGE FOR A SLOW SONG???? I mean………. The end.
