Musical afternoon
April 16, 2008 by arielle
It’s warm outside, and I’ve got my apartment windows open. And let me tell you, the guy in the brownstone next door has been rocking out all day. He’s doing some kind of yard work, which is fitting because his garden is absolutely amazing, all landscaped with patio furniture, a fountain, and a grill. Sometimes he has barbecues and Chris and I stand at our window and glare at him and his dumb yard in anger. I know it would make more sense to make friends with him and snag an invitation to the party, but that’s just not our style.
Anyway, just a few of the songs that he’s enjoyed over the course of the afternoon:
This Land is Your Land. I am not kidding about this. I wish I was.
I mean, I know I just said that I know nothing about music, so I shouldn’t really be making fun, but is that an eclectic mix or what? No Jumper though. Now that’s a shame.
I had my BBQ pizza for lunch again today:
With a mango and a kiwi:
This lunch filled me up for like four hours, which is unheard of, especially since I went to spinning this morning and usually that leaves me starving all day long. Maybe it’s because I didn’t exactly over-exert myself this morning, what with the hangover and all. I was happy just to make it to the gym, quite honestly.
I just had some yogurt with flax and a few chocolate chips. Maybe a teaspoon or so. I didn’t measure.
Now I’m going to get outside with Jack. He’s gazing longingly out the window.
He’s even got a fountain, wow, fancy. Lunch looks great. I am coveting that mango!
You should make your neighbor a mix tape. Maybe you could trade it for a barbecue dinner.
HAHA!!! Wow, your neighbor has quite an eclectic taste in musical selections :0)
Still loving that innovative BBQ pizza!! And I love the mango-kiwi combination, as well.
Have fun with Jack! My dog (named Kiwi) is lounging outside right now, as well :0)
LOL!!! At least you have entertainment, however weird it may be
Hope you enjoyed our lovely weather!
I always overeat after going to spin! AND with hangovers, I feel like I spend hangover days feeling sick but I still eat the whole day long. does anyone else do this too?
Awesome neighbours and interesting people at your gym. Some people just get all the luck. I’m kind of addicted to Clif bars now and had the maple nut today- ahead of carrot cake in the rankings but def behind toffee peanut and choc pb. Also- hope you don’t mind, I added you to my blogroll
thanks to your post I had “this land is your land” stuck in my head all afternoon hahaha!
Karen -
Fountains are totally fancy.
Meg -
I should! Except then I’d have to mingle with strangers, and to do that I’d have to drink a lot, and things just start getting messy.
Veggie -
Kiwi is a cute name for a dog.
Lindz -
Yeah. It’s hard to answer work calls when Milkshake is playing in the background, though.
Rachie -
You are not alone. When I have a hangover, I give myself license to eat anything. Usually pizza and french fries. It is bad.
Linds -
I have to try the maple nut. Of course I don’t mind!
Rhodey -
Me too. I’m sorry.
