Thursday Morning Misc. Roundup

neadodsSometimes the melting pot works. The Washington Post has a big article today about wedding companies that are learning to cross and mix cultures - an English-style barn that usually rents carriages also renting the white horse for Hindi & Sikh weddings, an Indian company that made a bride's canopy with kente cloth, a photographer who has an all-female team to shoot and develop film from segregated Muslim weddings.
Bugmenot.com should get you past the registration screen.
At long last, I got to do the exercise tape that would have been second on my list for the sheer fun of it: 70s Nostalgic Cheese!
1 - Kung Fu Fighting (Carl Douglas) This puts a smile on my face even when it's 5:20a.m. and I'm on a treadmill.
2 - S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night (Bay City Rollers) Not. One. Word. I wanted Roller gear in the *worst* way in ninth grade!
3 - Little Bitty Pretty One (Billy Gilman) One of the few remakes I prefer to the original.
4 - In the Navy (Village People) The extended live mix, although I did cut the last minute off. This is when the beat started getting too fast for me to keep up.
5 - It's Raining Men (Weather Girls) Apparently this is the "Nea is secretly a gay guy" mix. Again, a little too fast for me to keep entirely up, but I was still having fun making a fool of myself singing along.
6 - Da Doo Ron Ron (Shaun Cassidy) Shaun and Parker together drop-kicked me through puberty. This is really more of a jogging pace if you're trying to hit every beat.
7 - I Think I Love You (David Cassidy) The song that gets stuck in my head every time I see a photo of David Tennant in that hideous burgandy velvet jacket.
26 minutes, but I put a whopping 1.45 miles on the treadmill, a number that will only climb as I manage to keep up to the beat in songs 3-6. Disco and Doo Wop ain't for wusses.
But I still love the music so much that I can't help grinning like a loon.
No poll. I'm sleeping late in the hopes of surviving Potterdamerung and Prepare for Fair, and on Monday I'll still be sleeping them off. I may give up on the polls from here on it (but not the reports) as the rankings of the last three mixes have been fairly consistent in every poll and I think y'all are getting bored of the game.
As a long-time Disney and fractured fairytale fan, I MUST SEE THIS MOVIE!!!

Date: 2007-07-19 03:18 pm (UTC)My MP3 player has a selection of the more upbeat songs from my fairly massive 45 collection, so it includes everything from Killer Queen to Doo Wah Diddy. There are probably 40-50 songs on there (512MB worth). I just let it run when I work out and time the workout rather than working out for the length of a playlist. Though I've been listening to the same rotation of songs for over a year, and I think it's time to reload the MP3 player with some new stuff.
