I like my TV and I would be sad if it were dead. Bake whatever, but only if your like baking in the first place. Personally, I like a tart pie. Cake is entirely too sweet and unfortunately, can be described as "moist." Gross. Tea is fine. Kazoo's are annoying no matter what. It really depends on what the hand is making. Where is "my" town? I DO, however, appreciate where I am. Singing, alone, in the car is grand. Bartering and swapping are somewhat punishing. You really SHOULD keep it wonky. Whatever that means. Making stuff and writing letters, especially of the "thank you" variety is important. Champion what you believe in. Grow yourself. Love. Being kind AND working hard WILL pay off.
So, the thing is, when you try so hard to BE "out of the box," "quirky" and "uncommon" you end up the disingenuous fool. Going off the "beaten path" can be interesting, but when you do so at the sake of being real you end up missing the point altogether, not to mention exhausting those around you. It's okay to take the easy route sometimes. It's okay to know the answer to something from which you want to distance yourself. In fact, it's okay to stop asking those questions entirely. It's okay to eat in a popular restaurant and have something ordinary. KNOW who you are, have confidence in that and be accepting of those around you. Simple. As. That.
Rant over.
We have our second tennis lesson today and I must admit, I'm already hooked. I love the game and I love learning something new. We had better get proficient, as this is really our only activity when in Brazzeville. Our instructor is great, but super tough. The court is gorgeous. The action I am now calling my backhand is pretty sad. My serve is awesome. Ryan will be so proud. 
We're going to have a few pieces of furniture made here in Bogota. I'm thinking two console tables. I need one to hold the gargantuan television BF recently purchased and the other for the purpose of an entryway catch-all (while looking cool, rustic and grand). Love these versions...
Already on their second season, Man Shops Globe, on the Sundance Channel, is without a doubt my NEW favorite show! It has been on my list of 'Things to Watch" since I first heard about it almost one year ago. Having moved out of the country right around it's premiere date, it has, admittedly, taken quite a bit of time to actually find the program. And now that I have (God bless appleTV), I am officially a Keith Johnson junkie. He is the buyer-at-large for Anthropologie, responsible for all found art/furniture in their 120+ stores worldwide. His shopping adventures from France, to Turkey, to India to South Africa are glorious to watch. I find myself incredibly jealous and inspired throughout each episode and always wanting more.
