as soon as i decide i have nothing to say

i have too much to say.

anyway, just a funny coincidence- today, after writing that totally gushy post about ta-nehisi coates' book a few days ago, i realized that dude is my neighbor! we work out at the gym at the same time every morning. :) today i saw him at the check-out desk, and everything clicked.

harlem is so very small sometimes.

the other thing i found myself doing today at the gym is wondering whether or not people can tell what my gym jam is just by reading my lips. because ta-nehisi demonstrated his formidable grasp on hip-hop during the reading, i figure whatever he calmly bops his head to as he jogs is impressive. i started to wonder if he can tell that i, 9 times out of 10, am "ellipting" (that's my word for what i do on the elliptical machine, btw) to "what have you done for me lately" by janet jackson. and i wonder if he thinks i'm less cool as a result.

i guess i'll just have to keep wondering on that one :).

reasons to/not to watch cnn's american morning

1 reason to watch-

t.j. holmes. dude is fine. period.

1 reason not to watch-

they consider this news. now, i do agree it's entertaining, but it got almost as much air time in the 20 minutes i spent watching as did the storms last night in north carolina.

there seems to be something wrong with that.

on an unrelated note, my current gym music is the latest fader mag podcast. check it out.

post-buffitude brunch

mmmm buttermilk biscuits...

i needed to use the remainder of the buttermilk i bought last week for the chocolate cinnamon bread, so i decided to make myself a somewhat fattening brunch today post-gymathon.

YUM. scrambled some eggs too, before consuming the final product:

good eats.
