say something nice.

yesterday i was grumpy. just plain grumpy. i blame it on my bus ride to work {oh, muni…you have a way of doing that to me}. but sometimes to get out of that mood you just have to think positive and say nice things. it helps. then again, it’s always a good idea to say something nice…

so…this is new to me, but a few years ago there was a commercial that aired where thousands of colorful bouncy balls made their way down the streets {and crazy hills} of san francisco. danish photographer, peter funch was able to capture the action and the limited edition prints are available for sale at Lumas. check these photos…

amazing, right?! i can’t believe that really happened! here’s the video {i think it’s beautiful}…

if it hasn’t been mentioned here before, you may now be able to guess my age from this post. when i saw that jimmy fallon had said via his twitter that bell biv devoe would be on his show, well…i kind of lost my sh*t. sorry, it’s true. i was so excited. i went to work yesterday morning and spread the news to some friends who share a love for this group and would appreciate my enthusiasm. of course, i started feeling old when one of the girls who overheard our conversation gave me a look and said, “who?” when i mentioned the super slick r&b group. i was hurt and sad for her. i mean, not to take away from any r&b groups of today, but they just don’t do it like this…

i mean, come on. they had the matching vests/outfits and dance moves.

and this one was a web exclusive {i assume because of the song content}…

please tell me you were jamming with them while they did those old school dance moves. right?

ps – i was bbd’ing it up all day yesterday. yup, listened to all my faves.
