currently-obsessed-napoleon

This is a rather dorky, unartsy set, but, nonetheless, these are the things I currently can’t stop talking about:

1. I have The Biggest Loser Workout: Power Sculpt, but now I wish I had bought it with The Biggest Loser Workout: Cardio Max so I could alternate workouts. REASONS I love this exercise DVD: (1) it’s split into several sections so you can add different levels together and “make your own workout” that’s anywhere from 30 to 50 minutes long, (2) the people in the background are not perfect, in fact they’re overweight, and you see them struggling as much as you, (3) it seems easy, but the next day you feel it like-whoa, which is why my arse is sore.

2. I know I am wayyyy behind on this one, but I just read The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference. It’s a great piece of pop. psych literature. Find out how Hush Puppies, Blues Clues, and Airwalks became exciting fads (“epidemics”) and why other things… didn’t.

3. So, I use my Netflix account now to get all-Documentaries, all-the-time. Recently, I watched Man on a Wire, The Question of God, and a PBS documentary on Ernest Hemingway, but my favorite was this four hour documentary on Napoleon (Napoleon: Soldier, Emperor, Lover, Statesman). My FAVORITE part is when he returns to France from exile on Elba. Oh, and that he only needs to sleep like four hours a night. AWESOME! You can find out more at the PBS site.

4.  The Omnomicon food blog wrote a post on how to create a rainbow cake. Way better and brighter than confetti cakes!

5. Kittens, Inspired By Kittens is a youtube video where a little girl looks at pictures of kittens and says what the kitten is thinking/doing (which is often random, ie “We are eating peppers and chips!”). There is no reason I should like this, and yet the girl’s very last statement has me cracking up every time.
