Love Nike even more now.

There really is something mesmerising about watching a flash mob get going.  Loads of people all moving in unison, it is amazing.  There must be some genetic reason that our eyes get glued to this (matching armies make you fixate in the same way).  Anyway, here is a selection of flash mob antics from YouTube – ENJOY…

EUROVISION 2010 – takes a while to get going but stick with it (the heavy handed bouncers at the start are classic!) PS London flash mob contribution rubbish in this video – ho hum it just matches the TERRIBLE last place performance of the UK this year!:

BEYONCE SINGLE LADIES (100 OF THEM!) – sound not great but brilliant dancing:

A MEGA-MIX FROM BONDI BEACH – camp as hell amazingness:

OPRAH AND THE BLACK-EYED PEAS:

Apparently the album is breaking records left, right and centre in terms of number of downloads, blah,blah,blah.  I am not surprised and wholeheartedly encourage you to get yourself a copy (or at least get one for your Mum for Christmas but load it up on your iTunes first). ;+)

Never has the saying about a book, its cover and judgement been so apt.  The stylists have really gone to town on her mind and she is looking much groomed.  I hope she stays her quirky slightly dishevelled self (great to see her with neat eyebrows though). 

I want Mr Cowell to set up a Leona and Susan duet on the night of the X Factor final. 

Actually do you know what, on second thoughts this might be unwise, I might end up hospitalised with emotional exhaustion!

There have been a duo of recurring questions that people have asked me:

Question one (in the one hour lead up to and after the ceremony): Are you feeling / did you feel nervous? 

Question two (from about two weeks after the ceremony): Do you feel different?

So the answers to these…

In response to question one the answer is ‘no’ – I’d never felt so serene and content in my life.

The response to question two is ‘yes’ and also ‘no’ – let me explain myself – yes I do feel different, but not different different – just a more intense range of emotions than before: more secure, happier, more loved, more committed, closer, just more of a range of positve feelings that started in the first few days of meeting my (now) husband.

In the finale of my official wedding speech I talked about one of my favourite characters from one of my favourite TV shows of all time: Charlotte from Sex in the City.  I loved her character – she always believed that there was ‘The One’ and she never lost the faith, despite the disappointment, despite kissing many frogs that never morphed into the prince. 

As I mentioned in front of my friends and family (having consumed a suitable volume of bubbles) – I’ve ‘kissed’ many (many, many) frogs and had the most disastrous and toxic six and a half year relationship (that a therapist [I need a whole separate post on my belief in the power of talking to a professional] decided was with a narcissistic psychopath).  But I never lost my faith, like the fictional Charlotte, that ‘The One’ is out there.

My toast at the end of my speech was: ‘To Chad, to my amazing Chad, my The One’.

He is just that, and I am going to work really hard to make sure of it.

I am sorry that this post might come across as ’smug married’ but I don’t apologise and I don’t care if I sound preachy. 

So many of the people I know don’t throw themselves into a relationship – they hold back, play games and quite frankly waste time.  You know if the one you are with is a keeper or a stinker who needs to be binned. 

If your partner is your best mate (who you love doing intimate stuff with) then just go for it.

I’m sad that it is over and that I’m not going to get to see how the Santos presidency differed from the eight years of Bartlett’s. Ho hum.

If you don’t know anything about the programme then the Wikipedia entry is really good. I can only encourage you to buy a box set – it is totally ace. My friend Sally has recommended that I watch the one season of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip that was also written by Aaron Sorkin.

Well at least I have achieved one of my goals of 2009 to watch the whole thing – it’s good to achieve one’s life ambitions ;+)

Check out this video – it is so much fun (and brings a huge smile to my face)…

There are times when you cannot beat being horizontal – in this bodily orientation I get to do some of my favourite things:

• Sleep
• Lying on the couch listen to music / watching a movie on TV
• Sunbathing with a book (normally under an umbrella)
• Floating on a lilo in a pool
• Lounging on the grass after a picnic

The best horizontal moment of the day is when you first get in bed (especially if the sheets are brand new), you get in position, nuzzle with the pillow and feel the day drain away as you drift into unconsciousness – perfect.

Thankfully for me sleep arrives very quickly and unless I have something pressing on my mind normally I go to sleep in under 60 seconds (normally less than 30).  My definition of insomnia is sleep that takes more than 2 minutes to come – if this happens there is something huge in mind and its best to get vertical again and get out of bed (horizontal and over processing a problem in bed is the only time that horizontal is not good).

I just thought that being dead involves a lot of being horizontal – so that is actually probably the worst type of horizontal and is generally best avoided.

There are lots of great things about being vertical – but being horizontal is definitely my favourite.

PS: I actually wrote this post while laying on the couch!
