Today’s thoughts are brought to you by this kick-ass La Roux song… because it’s freakin’ fantastic and had me dancing my way through an overcast Sunday.
1) I’ve Got A Hundred Years Worth of Energy Running through My Veins. I’m not quite sure what happened today… but I woke up with this incredible sensation of energy for just about everything. I feel like I can conquer the world right now… so that’s my plan for the week. Conquer the world. And then go to the Chinese Dance event at Lincoln Center on Thursday evening.
2) Bad Relationships Happen for a Reason. I spent some good time with a close friend recently and saw her relationship crumbling around her. She’s smart, pretty, driven, and has a million things going for her but somehow has been stuck in a long term relationship with a guy that puts her down and yells at her. In fact, every phone call I overheard between the two of them made me want to vomit from disgust, but I bit my tongue because I knew that she just has to learn a much bigger lesson than “men shouldn’t yell at women.” The lesson is that we’re responsible for our own happiness- if we’re being weighed down it’s our job to lift the weights off our shoulders. I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that she has the balls to say “don’t ever call me again!” to this guy before he pops up with a ring. And if she can learn anything from my own experiences (surprise, surprise… I’ve had a few bad ones of my own), I hope she learns that the bad ones shape you into a smarter, stronger person if you do it right and help you to appreciate a really good one for a change!
3) You Know You’re Getting Older When… The thought of a Dyson vacuum cleaner gets you all hot and bothered in all the right places. Sadly, this mention of Dyson was not at all encouraged by their PR team. I honestly just want an awesome vacuum. Bryce Grubah is on her way to being a lame soccer mom (in skanky heels).
UPDATE: I’ve had several girl friends call and email me with “Bryce, OMG, my boyfriend totally thinks you’re referring to US!”…crap. Well, I’m only talking about Jen on the Upper West Side. Glad we clarified that.
