which singer is better?
haha... so I talked to my amazing friend Megan today and it reminded me of the video we made for the Amazing Race tryouts! LOL! So i found it on YouTube and decided to post it...so lame.. but it came up with another persons version on the links on the side..... YOU decide which is better!
...and to answer your question... YES the American Idol judges I saw in Denver said I was pretty good...just not amazing... yeah.. take that! :)
FEED 100.... go buy this bag!!
So I was casually perusing through my new Sunday hangout spot -Whole Foods HQ in downtown Austin- when I came across a bag that blew my mind!! It's called the FEED 100 bag, designed by Lauren Bush (George W. Bush's niece) and the purchase of it "provides 100 nutritious meals to hungry school age children in Rwanda through the United Nation World Food Program's school feeding program."
VERY COOL!!!
and it's only $29...so head to Whole Foods and buy one!!

Here's pics of me unpacking mine! hehe...

sondheim
The post about Dick Tracy made me think of Stephen Sondheim (as he composed the music for the movie as well as winning the Academy Award for best song for that last post!) So I was wondering what everyone's fav Sondheim musical was .....
sooner or later baby....
"sooner or later you're gonna be mine.....
sooner or later you're gonna be....fine...
...baby you're mine on a platter...."
my favorite song from one of my top 3 favorite movies of all time.... performed by the talented Miss Min...
here's the Miss Min version and the original one from the movie performed by Madonna---

the origin of love
i blogged many moons ago about how much I loved the song "The Origin of Love" from the musical -Hedwig and the Angry Inch- Well last night while packing I came across the DVD of it and put it on and had myself a dancing feast while shoving clothes into little boxes. :) ENJOY!

my favorite art pieces
So I've been packing (UGH!) and have gotten extremely slap happy and bored.... boxes and the such are starting to infuriate me and embed in my mind causing extreme craziness...
SO I started documenting my inventory by having a photo database of it all by using my iPhone's camera.... that's neither here nor there.... BUT I thought I would put the pieces of art that I actually do have up as they are my favorite and make me smile... the last one is my by far the best in that it's a one-of-a-kind that my friend Emily made for me!!! :) GREAT photographer (now living in Seattle...)

We went horseback riding, out to Red Robbin, the gym, a massage, the Kentucky Derby, the mall and to a Rockies game! (half of that is an inside joke...hehe..) They're the greats family fo sho...and we definitely had divertirse a costa de alguien! :) BUT the Rockies game was a great time and my mom and I enjoyed dancing around... I included the best song they played at the bottom. Here are some pictures from their visit and more are sure to come!!

Netflix vs. Blockbuster
I'm having a dilemma..... I think I HATE Netflix.... sigh.... they seem to "receive" my movie five days after I mail them and seem to take another four for me to actually have them in my mailbox. :)
VS. 
Maybe I'll go back to the day when that lovely chubby woman at Blockbuster used to hold movies aside for me she thought I'd like and I'd come in and we'd chat...sigh... I loved the nerdiness of it... but I like the look and feel and phone capability of the Netflix queue better. I'm a nerd.....
