no, really! you did FINE on that interview!!!! we swear!!!

thanks to jezebel.com for the link to this mornings ground breaking tinkerbell interview:

This morning Good Morning America featured a shameless promotion for the new movie Tinker Bell (ABC, as you’ll remember, is owned by Disney). In Tink’s interview with anchor Chris Cuomo, the animated sprite spewed anti-science propaganda, claiming that leaves changing color, fireflies, and rainbows are all the work of fairies. The children in the studio, dumbfounded by explanations for natural phenomena that fly in the face of everything their parents taught them about chlorophyll, bioluminescence, and light refraction, just stared into the cameras aghast.

and i can highly recommend the first few comments on the post as well… heh! i’m also a little frightened that tink goes macgyver on her mic by sticking a paperclip into it WHILE IT IS LIVE being watched by little kids…. but then i too believe in like chlorophyll and stuff..

say hello to my little friends

disney dogs

 

its more of a “coffee table” kind of book, although not huge in size. lots of artwork and scattered quotes and such. though i may be a darn cat, i am a dog person at heart!

team voice!

most folks know i recently had surgery that precluding any type of “impact” (high or low) exercises in august. most folks also know that, like last year, i am entered to do the half marathon in january.

kinda effs with the whole training thing, huh??!!

i have been slowly getting back into low impact exercise. last week i started back to work and prior had done a couple of ~ 3.5 mile “wogs”. despite impressing myself with my overall times on my previous “runs” (and by impress i mean, not fall over and die, finish it and actually have a time shorter that the first 5K i ever ran (which i did jog mostly) ). this makes me optimistic that even where i am starting from now, i know i won’t get swept and maybe my goal of a) jogging the entire race and b) finishing at 2 1/2 hours is at least within the realm of possibility.

so imagine my delight when i heard my name come up on this weeks AATM podcast! AND to further delight me, dr. scopa remembered me and the late night conversation we had saturday night at magic meets – the night when overcame my “scopaphobia”.

check out the episode if you havent already. jonathon and bryan always do a great job, they have a nice mix of topics and interviews and i am pleased to call them friends after our inauspicious face to face meet at mousefest last year. jonathon is a huge inspiration to me goal wise, while bryan is my go to guy for weird podcast questions (and florida weather alert news updates).

this cat says “check it out!”

hippo birdie to me!

FYI- minnie mouse sends gifts almost as good as the ones jen and trace send!!

pardon my photography skillz

but lookie what i got for my birthday!!!! original art!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!
