Lip Dub Proposal

So one of my biggest complaints is that Pat is not into Grand Gestures.

Pat needs a lesson from Issac.

The Unsocial Network

Here's a fact to scare you:

A survey in the UK just found that more than a third of divorce filings in 2011 contained the word "Facebook".
And that's just the beginning:

And over 80% of U.S. divorce attorneys say they’ve seen a rise in the number of cases using social networking, according to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.

And before we go further, can we comment on the fact that there's such a thing as "The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers"?

"I'd like to thank the Academy..." What do they call their annual awards dinner? The Irreconcilabillies?

Anyway...

7 Days of Sex

7 Days of Sex. When I heard of this new show on Lifetime I was shocked and appalled that they would put this on television. Is nothing sacred anymore? But to be perfectly, honest. The idea of the show stuck with me.

Since Pat and I do "History Therapy" I was intrigued by another idea of unconventional therapy. But I am a good girl so I should not watch this show.

But I did. Purely for research.

And..... I enjoyed it. 2 committed married couples try to have sex for 7 straight days to help rekindle the spark. And at the end re-new their vows. It was interesting because they didn't focus on the sex. Each couple focused on each other. It seemed that this experiment worked on other aspects of their marriage. The lack of sex they had was symbolic of a bigger problem. And being forced to connect physically they connected emotionally.

So will I tune in regularly? Probably not. But it is something to remember in our crazy lives. We, as couples need to connect. And not via text. Hug, Kiss, etc.

Missoni - Style, Olympics, Love.

Mary should probably be writing this post, because I know nothing about fashion.

I have, however, seen the name "Missoni" on a fair number of chic-looking things. And the name conjures in my mind images of fabulous people sipping espresso on Roman balconies.

I don't know if that's accurate, but if my name conjured that image in even one person, I'd be pretty jazzed.

So I can't help but be impressed to learn that chic, amazing brand actually started with a 16-year-old girl falling in love with an athlete at the 1948 Olympics.

Antony & Cleopatra - The Last Tango in Alexandria

This is where it all started for us.

Some years ago, at the Peoples Improv Theater's first "Sketchprov" festival, we got the suggestions of "Tango" along with "Antony & Cleopatra" at the same time. What unfolded was something like this extremely historically accurate scene.
