Anna Karenina

http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/anna-karenina-2012/

It just goes to show how much I pay attention to movies...I just found this trailer this morning.  Anna Karenina!!  Keira Knightly as Anna and just as a reminder to how we are all getting older, Jude Law as her aging husband.  What the heck?  I remember when he would always play the role of the young lover.  Instead there is some young whipper snapper playing the role of the officer who get Anna's engine revved up. 

I'm almost always disappointed in movies modeled after books, but this film does look beautiful.  I'll be the first one in line on opening day!

Summer 2012 Anthems...

It occurred to me while doing housework and listening to the radio that there are several songs that are for me the songs of summer.  Mainly from 10 days spent in a car driving around Northern California with my family. 

This song "Let's Go!" is one that has really grown on me.  I love the beat, when it comes on I dance and sing along.  And not only is the beat great, the lyrics speak to me.  But I think they speak to all of us....

When this song comes on I think of the feel good vacation feelings, crystal blue and deep blue waters, the sound of seal lions barking, trees, and lots of cool fresh air.  Good times.


Let's go!
Make no excuses now
I'm talking here and now
I'm talking here and now
Let's go!
Your time is running out
Let's go!
I'm talking here and now
I'm talking here and now

It's not about what you've done
It's about what you doing
It's all about where you going
No matter where you've been
Let's go!

Let's go!

[Instrumental break]

Let's go!, Let's go!, Let's go!...

There ain't no better time
I'm talking here and now
I'm talking here and now
Let's go!

Right now is where you shine
I'm talking here and now
I'm talking here and now

It's not about what you've done
It's about what you doing
It's all about where you going
No matter where you've been
Let's go!

Let's go!

Letters that will never be sent..

Dear Duchess of Cambridge,

I know you were born a commoner and all, but the Royal Family has a bit of a history with the paparazzi.  They like to stalk them and take pictures of them doing all sorts of things.  When you are on vacation, you may think you are alone but you are never really alone.  When you become an HRH you might want to consider not tanning topless on your balcony with your handsome new husband.  Just saying....


Dear lady who took a master step class for the very first time and decided to set up in the first row,

I can tell you think that you are some sort of super athlete or something the way you were bouncing all around your bench this morning.  In case you weren't aware, Master Step has a lot of complex choreography.  We move quickly from one side of the bench to the other, and I've personally witnessed two ladies break their legs in this class.  When you decide to set up in the front row in your neon pink top, and you are going one direction while the rest of the class is going in the other direction you are a big distraction.  When we are all following the instructor's routine and you are following your own routine to a totally different beat you are very distracting.  Please set up in the back row next time.  Just saying.....


Dear Sunny,

You mentioned awhile back about wanting to write a blog post about how everyone farts in their studios.  I really hope you write it, because if I have to look at one more pretty blog with one more pretty girl living the seemingly perfect life I'm going to do more than just roll my eyes into the back of my head.  Thanks for keeping it real sister!  Just saying.... ;)
