I could watch Ira Glass make balloon animals all day.
sundaysounds= The Like: “What I Say And What I Mean”
uhm, synchronized swimming in a music video? Yes please.
sundaysounds= Danielson: “Did I step On Your Trumpet?”
Funky video which I love, the sound is a little reminiscent of Modest Mouse/ Ugly Casanova but provides something fresh to differentiate it. Definitely worth a listen and view.
Iced Tea over Bottled Beverages
Probably the best habit learned from my mother was the keeping of a large pitcher of home brewed unsweetened iced-tea in the refrigerator instead of sodas or highly processed store bought “juices”.
Apparently, there are people in the world opposed to drinking a glass of ice water, or all of us from time to time want something with taste. Iced-teas are the perfect healthy solution, they provide not only a glass towards your eight a day but all sorts of additional health benefits as well as being naturally calorie free. Heres further incentive: you can make 66oz. of good iced tea for the price of a single soda. talk about all around budget/diet/life friendly.
Different teas have different benefits, I highly encourage everyone to visit the bulk herb bins at their local health food store and case out all of the options (it can be overwhelming but also exciting!) Health food stores carry pre-mixed herbal teas, or with some research you can create your own herbal combinations to promote certain areas of health. Lots of information can be found online, a very comprehensive listing can be found here: http://www.crazyfortea.com/herblist.html
Herbs are amazing, there are reasons they’ve been used for ailments for so long. Herbs can help with everything from aches and pains to reproductive problems and depression, I’ve had doctors recommend me an herbal supplement before a prescription!
I won’t tell you what to do, but keeping a big batch of iced tea in your fridge instead of kool-aid is a pretty darn good idea.
My favorite iced tea is a blend of japanese green tea, lemon grass and mint for sweetness, What are your favorite teas?
Politics and Women’s Issues 2012
Women make up half our population, we are not a minority group. If you think women’s health issues don’t affect you—-think of your mothers, sisters, daughters, friends and girlfriends. Women are in everyone’s lives and we need to asssure their rights to healthcare.
This is why I will vote for obama this election, he has two growing daughters, I trust him to protect the rights of all our women.
Waking up at 4:30 a.m. for work
Walking to work in the dark.
I can still see all the vomit and lost treasure from drunk students on their saturday night binges laid across sidewalks.
[How does one wake up this early and be coherent and peppy at their jobs? Espresso IVs? Crack cocaine? I wish I knew the secret to this]
Vivian Girls Supporting Pussy Riot—hell yes.
Vivian Girls have announced that they will play a special benefit show for the recently incarcerated members of Pussy Riot to show their support. This benefit will be at the The Smell in Los Angeles on Aug. 27.
Vivian girls, keep rocking. Intelligent, talented women playing music for some serious purpose is something that can truly influence.
