I heart the 80's

So, didya see Holden? That is my kitty. He's a good cat, likes to talk, loves to be brushed/pet/touched, loves to sleep next to me. Likes to play and do his boxing manuever and then bite me on the hand.

His too cute thing is when he sleeps next to me he likes to grab my finger with his paw. He curls his paw around my finger without any nails and falls asleep that way. He likes to hold my hand when he sleeps. Awww too cute.

Anyway, MTV decided to upload every video ever made onto their website http://www.mtvmusic.com/. The videos are free and very few ads. Not every video is loaded yet -I looked for "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and it wasn't there. So, I thought I would list my top 5 80's videos. I wanted ones that I remember watching and the degree of difficulty: no Duran Duran or Wham! My sister watched those videos over and over so they don't count.

So here they are, in no particular order:

Love is a Battlefield - Pat Benatar - great video, bad dance sequence but good shoulder shimmy.
Safety Dance - Men Without Hats - very Ren Fair. One of Homer Simpson's favorite videos,although he says "Safety Dance, Safety Dance, everybody look at my pants"
China Girl - David Bowie - I just remember this one shot where the Chinese girl has this crazy look on her face and I watched that video to see that one expression.
Separate Ways - Journey - not sure why this video stands out in my mind. Maybe the invisible instruments
Mexican Radio - Wall of Voodoo - classic video


In exercise news, I hit 2 miles yesterday so that milestone is reached. Now 2 weeks for 2.5 miles. And finally, I am a pretty even tempered fellow - not too high or low - but my moods run pretty consistent. When I got my sister's news about her expecting a baby, I will admit I cried- here - at work - in my office - like a baby - like watching "Old Yeller" and "Bambi" at the same time. I am so happy for her and Beto (and my Mom) and they will make such great parents and grandparents. The saying "bundle of joy" was always a cliche to me but I get it now. I couldn't be any happier for them. Congrats Jen and Beto!
