Daily Happy: Hot Chick in A Tub
Okay...so they really haven't been daily - but here is today's dose of joy.
baby chick, taking a bath.omg yes.
Basketball Playing Unicyclists - As Crazy as It Sounds
Can you imagine the looks these guys get when people ask what they do for fun?
Puerto Rican All Stars Unicycle Basketball Team. Heh. Makes me think of this, no?
What Kind of Idiot Can't Put their Pants on Two Legs At a Time?
I usually lay down to do so, though.
Not this guy - he puts 'em on two legs at a time while standing. Or...jumping, rather.
I'm impressed. Though - the epic music and then like...video of him in pajamas on an air mattress really did make me chuckle.

Art by Adelaide
Wow such great flow and style. I loved that she came out dancing with the hoop just resting on her head - that is a great idea to get everything flowing in the beginning. So often it's the waist hooping partay at the beginning because it's so easy to fall into the simple moves. (I'm projecting.)
Anyway - this is Gorgeous!
(Come on coffee house patrons, get into it!)

Laura Laine's World of Strange and Beautiful Women
I am sick today. A chronic problem that I thought I had finally beaten came back unannounced last night as well as some other crushing news. I am not trying to be mysterious, just respectful.
After several hours trying to get into the hoop zone with The Kinks this ridiculous sickness forced me back to my computer in search of inspiration and time passing fodder.
Laura Laine's beautiful, fluid and sad illustrations were too good not to be shared.
I have such an affinity for dark things - yet, I think most people who know me would say I am bright, bubbly and outgoing. I have to break down these walls.
It's hard not to feel some type of closeness to the artist and other fans when finding art that you like. It's so personal - so hard to define empirically as 'good' or 'bad' that the choice to like something somehow feels like an understanding between people.
Do you like these? Why? Why not?
Music Monday: The Kinks
The Kinks always make me think of my mom's record collection. I remember drawing all over the Joni Mitchell records, tracing the weird lines on the cover of the Alan Parson's project and hearing her tales of the Davies brother's public battles.
I heard this song at the end of a Soprano's episode (finally getting around to watching that show) and have listened to it obsessively all day. It is a great choice to continue the emotional connection to the hoop - or, if you are not ready for that mumbo jumbo so early in the week - it's great just to kick back and listen to.
NSFW Hooping (Black Rubber)
Just scroll down quickly if you are unlucky enough to be at an office. Personally, I love this.
It reminds me of my favorite 4th grade music video - Madonna's Human Nature
Breakin' and Poppin' with Alfonso Ribeiro.
I was sorta bummed that it was Monday. Until I watched this.
Every time I think it's reached it's height of greatness it outdoes itself. Thank God for the eighties.
Can you RAP?
