I just spent the week in New York City, so I thought it only fitting that I post something related to the Big Apple. And what better than a little Saturday Night Live? (Fair warning to those who don't like controversial material; this could offend you.)
It can be tough being born with a virtuous look. A coworker of mine put it in an interesting way: "The package you come in is sweet and innocent."
I understand Natalie's need to prove she's not so sweet. It's why I came back from New York with a black eye. And while I'd like to say, "You should see the other guy," it's more like, "I fought the table, and the table won."
Klutzy, unable to hold my liquor, and sweet. Well, I guess there are worse things to be.
I'm moving! Check out my new blog at www.sunnysanguinity.com.

Movie Clip Monday or I heart Conan
I'm not a huge celebrity freak. I don't know who is dating who or read Us Weekly (Unless I'm getting my hair done. What is it about salons and celebrity magazines?), but I really love Conan O'Brien. I think he's hilarious. And he's a ginger. I'm a sucker.
So while this is 40-odd minutes long, it's pretty funny. Just push play and have it on in the background. Guaranteed Conan kicking it at Google will make you laugh. Laughing is awesome.

Ahoy! I sail! I'm a sailor! I sail! (aka Movie Clip Monday!)
Sometimes we have an opportunity to do something we've never done before. These things can be frightening; perhaps they seem impossible. But if it's front of you, I say Go for it! Who knows how awesome it will make you feel?
Although I don't recommend tying yourself to the mast of a sailboat if you decide to go sailing, like Bob does in this scene in What About Bob? Sailboats tip over often. It could be unfortunate. So maybe if you have the opportunity to do something new, do some research too. And then go for it!

Movie Clip Monday!
Ever feel like you're getting pushed around? I say speak up and do what's good for you! I don't necessarily condone crashing into parked cars, but sometimes you have to be a bit forceful to get your point across.
I wish I still owned Fried Green Tomatoes. I only had it on VHS. I think it's going on the Netflix queue. (I also cried when Chris O'Donnell died. That was before Batman & Robin.)

Movie Clip Monday!
In keeping with the Easter theme, here is Will Ferrell's prayer to Tiny Baby Jesus.
Easter Jesus is a little more solemn than Baby Jesus, so I thought i would add a little laughter. Plus Easter Jesus would probably love this movie.
I like to picture my JC waxing poetic around a bonfire making s'mores. Wouldn't that be awesome? I'd toast my marshmallow all perfect and let him eat it because he burned his. He may have been patient with sinners, but he was never good at waiting for sweets.

My hypotheses may not hold up in California
My friend told me about her bus ride home today. An older guy with a fake Jamaican accent was fighting with his girlfriend and declared to the entire bus: "I bring you fruit and you throw it down the stairs!"
She said it was quite the dramatic production. She was convinced it was fake. And that got me thinking about something I haven't considered in a while: The Social Experiment.
I'm a big fan of seeing how people react in situations where the unexpected happens. Or when they're forced to be uncomfortable by proximity. I've traveled across a continent to visit someone for 11 hours just to see how they would react.
One of my favorite ideas was going to lunch in front of the courthouse where everyone (read: judges, lawyers, the real suits) eats when it's nice out. I would show up in my business casual uniform with my lunch, strip down to a bikini and sunbathe on the fountain bench. I wanted to get my photog friend there to document the event, but even she was uncomfortable with the idea.
I guess I haven't really considered doing a social experiment in a while. Probably because the last three months of my life have been a giant one on myself. But now that I'm a little more familiar with my surroundings, it might be time to start brainstorming.
The thing is, people in Minnesota are different than people in California. (Insert "Duh!" here.) So how do I come up with new ideas? And I can't very well experiment on my coworkers or roommate. That would be downright unethical! So where do I start? Perhaps the transit station.

Reh Dogg asks: "Why must I cry?" I do not ... I love Friday the 13th!
On Friday the 13th I received the following things before 9 am:
- A carnation
- A Twix candy bar
- A bagel with cream cheese
- A loaf of bread
And I wore my Bon Jovi shirt. And one of my favorite bands is playing tonight...and I'm getting in for free. I have a three day weekend.
What I really want to know is what could make this day better? Oh I know! Watching Rey Dogg!

In another dimension this was written last Tuesday
August 30, 2008 - Saturday
My life is full of outrageous characters and funny stories. My sister jumped on the bar of her cruise ship and belted out "The Star Spangled Banner" after a group of her friends were giving her a hard time about Americans not knowing their national anthem. My friend Johanna's solution to vitamin deficiency is "Eat a fucking orange." One of my bosses painted a compass on his floor and labeled the different directions: basement, kitchen, living room and wall.
But my curiosity is peaked by the events that don't happen and the characters I don't meet. I had this great idea to sun bathe at the fountain at the government center over my lunch break. It's a fairly crowded downtown area with a lot of business professionals. What kind of stir would me stripping my business casual uniform in favor of more suitable attire for the weather create? Although I doubt I would really be breaking any laws, I most certainly would be asked to cover up at one point or another. Or maybe Big Brother would surprise me and it would go off without a hitch and I would get a savage tan on my lunch hour..
Here are just a few people I would like to get to know: the dude jogging while wearing the button-down shirt, the guy with a weight vest power walking, and the mid-30sish gentleman roller-skating in a prom dress and sweat bands. And this was all just around the lake. Imagine all the other characters out there.
