You can sit under my umbrella-ella-ella.

I had good intentions of writing a nice upward facing Monday post today. But I just can't wrap my head around yoga.

It might have to do with my background music. Jay-Z at the moment. I bought one of his old CD's and Kanye West's new one today. Not conducive to down-dogging. But this is the music phase I'm currently in. H to the Izzo.

It started yesterday at my parent's house. I was taking advantage of having access to modern technology ie: watching television. Cable TV overwhelms me, so whenever I am in it's presence I go straight to the music videos.

Kanye West's video for The Good Life came on and wow....it's amazing. The song and the video.

Then last night, I started thinking about how fun it would be to go to Kanye and Rihanna's concert in May.

I quickly went from thinking about it, to dwelling on it, to obsessing over how it is quite possibly the greatest idea I have EVER had and how it is no longer an option but a mandatory off-island excursion. I even found reasonably priced tickets.

I could hardly wait till morning to call my blogmate to tell her to get ready, we're going on a road trip (in 6 weeks).

I was a little nervous that her phone wouldn't work because it didn't yesterday. Then I realized that she gave me the Boy's phone number "in case of emergency", and I laughed at her, what kind of emergency would I have to call the Boy for? but I put it into my cell phone anyway.

Thank God.

Good thing her cell phone worked, because I don't know if this call would have been grounds for calling the Boy at 8am.

We exchanged pleasantries like "are you going to interview the lunch ladies today?" and "do you want to go to that movie about abortion on Wednesday?" and then with some restraint in my voice I asked,

"Do you want to go to the Glow in the Dark show in May?"
"What?"

"The Kanye West and Rihanna concert. Duh."
"Ummmm....."
"It's at the Tweeter Center, outside, it will be such a fun/funny trip."

"Hmmm....."

"You have till Wednesday to decide."

And then we went about our days. One of us to interview lunch ladies. The other to lunch with an old lady.
