I’m not from here, but I’m making it my home!
This is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. If you watched music videos in the 80s, you’ll recognize this A-Ha video, but the lyrics have been re-recorded to simply describe what’s going on in the video. The people at Funny or Die are genius!
Today is National Underwear Day. You probably didn’t know that! I didn’t know, either, until I saw some news reports about it. Now I feel like I should string boxers from the ceiling or put up a tree hung with bras or something.
Freshpair.com has been putting on this event for years, usually keeping it local to NYC with underwear freebies and a fashion show of hot models in their underwear. But every year, it gets a little bigger, and this year, it’s getting widespread attention beyond NYC, especially online.
This blog has a video from 2007′s National Underwear Day that’s pretty funny; check out the perky girl asking complete strangers what they wear under their clothes.
My fiance likes to tease me about how I usually call them “underpants,” not underwear. Last night, I made the mistake of calling my sleeping clothes “jammies,” and he insisted that, with terms like underpants and jammies, I talk like a four-year-old. I never thought about it before, but maybe he’s right. I’m glad he wasn’t around when I accidentally tipped my drink over and said “oops, I spilled my sodie.” He would have despaired of me then. At least I don’t say these things in a baby-talk voice… that would be weird.
But I digress.
So Happy Underwear Day, everyone! It’s a good chance to talk about lingerie or ask “boxers or briefs?” without sounding really creepy.
You know those days when you have trouble focusing or just can’t make your brain turn completely on? I have those sometimes. We all do. But since I don’t drink coffee and I hate energy drinks, here’s what I use to get through my sluggish days (let’s hear it for the sugar rush!)…
Napster, the music service. I have the player in the background while I’m working, just in case I need to get up and groove for a bit to get the circulation going!
That last one is Bosco the chocolate lab mix playing with Blue the pit bull. They keep me company throughout the day. They spend 90% of the day sleeping, 5% of the day outside, 3% of the day playing and 2% of the day finding new and creative things to lick.
If the combination of these things isn’t enough to motivate me throughout the day, then I’m probably in a coma.
