Good People

I don’t have much to say this Friday. I could tell you how I’ve eaten a giant bowl of M&M’s that sit on my desk. Or about how pathetic and ridiculous I looked yesterday running into a meeting in the rain, wearing tweed heels (ruined by rain), holding an umbrella that kept turning inside out, while carrying an almost-two-year-old who was screaming “RAIN! WET!”

Instead, I’ll give you a link to a wonderful story. You should click on it, I promise, it will make your day a little bit brighter.

Trent sent me this last week. I think it’s a great commentary on our generation (even if it was created by the AARP…which is a strange sponsor).

Toxic

I’m sure you’ve heard of Yael Naim, you just don’t realize it. Have you ever seen that commercial for the new Mac Book Air? This one. OK, I thought so. Well, the singer of that little tune is Yael Naim, an Israeli singer who lives in France and has an AH-MAI-ZING album out. She is one of those singers who can draw you in to the emotion of a song, even when it’s not in English. One of her most touching songs is called Paris, and it’s sung in Hebrew. I found myself close to tears while listening to it, regardless of whether I could understand a word.

But, being the pop culture eff-tard that I am, when I found Naim doing a cover of Britney Spears’ Toxic, that’s the song I decided to share with you all.
