You're the Dog That I Want

This might be old internet news, but I've only just seen it...

Canine freestyle dancing. Particularly, a dog trained to dance disco choreography with its owner. SO AWESOME.

Carolyn Scott and Rookie performing, "You're the One That I Want" from Grease.



Oh, also: Dutch commercial for English language training. I KNOW this one has gone around the 'net, but I haven't seen it in years. Argh, but now that song will be stuck in my head.

Oh, er, not safe for work, that one, but only in regards to the sound. The visuals are perfectly innocent. :)

trivia

Some stuff from this interesting article I read in the paper... from a company in Newton called the Design Continuum:

We clean our kitchen floors once weekly. We clean our kitchen counters twice daily.

We define beauty in a window by the amount of wood in the frame.

The most common buttons pressed on a microwave are "popcorn" and "reheat."

We open the fridge door 30 times daily. We open the freezer door 10 times.

We typically have 6 bottles of salad dressing in the fridge.

When it comes to audio systems, men buy speakers and women try to hide them.

The users of conventional floor mops spend about as much time cleaning the mop as they spend cleaning the floor.

People under showers spend most of their time with ther eyes closed. From start to finish, only about 60 percent of a shower is spent in the water stream, with the rest of the time actually devoted to avoiding the water for chores such as soaping and shampooing. Given the choice, people prefer the sensation of larger water droplets, enveloping them, but they believe such a nozzle would waste water.

In Germany, BMW drivers were wired with blood-pressure monitors and then put through tests that included driving on autobahns where there is no speed limit. The most stressful situation? Parallel parking.

bellydance costuming!!

So, horrible horrible news: the recital for my new bellydance class is going to require me buying/making a new bellydance costume. OH DAMN. ;)

I need a choli top, harem pants, a 1.5-circle skirt, and a coined hip scarf.

I can make all of that except the hip scarf... which I'm trying to get from ebay. What do you think about this one? *crosses fingers*

Once I have it, I can make a trip to fabric stores to buy appropriate matching fabric for the other bits. :) *dance* This'll be fun.
