Insanity and Other Madness

Oh man. Alright, so I’m done with Month 1 of the Insanity workout. >_< I’m really nervous about this new level of craziness that is set to begin on Monday. :/ I’m sure I’ll get through it though. Month 1 was good, and really difficult, but I enjoyed the challenge. I’ve definitely gotten stronger and increased my endurance. I think my least favorite segment was the one with all of the power jumps. I think it was Plyo? On the bright side, I can now DO power jumps. I couldn’t before. My push-up form is also greatly improved.  So given that, I think much progress is being made on one of my resolutions for 2011. *^__^* The others are also coming along.

Right now I’m working on the revamp for the BeKyoot booth for 2011. I’ve got to design and unify several new elements and such, which will be a fun new challenge. We will have the Berry plushies in March so I’ve also got to work on realistic ideas for the Berry patch. I can’t wait. I’ve also got several others in the works including the elusive Momocheet Cupcake plushie and Evil Landlord plushies. I need to get my new 2011 t-shirt designs lined up as well. We’ll be cycling the 2010 designs out very soon. I’m super excited because I’ve got a really neat idea for a new/different line of shirts. They will be aimed more at guys, but could also work on chick shirts. It’ll be different than my normal cute theme, though it’ll still have some cute incorporated.

This is where I mention redesigning this blog for the x^10 time. Except this time I’m actually going to do it, and am aiming the new site launch to be around the 100th wallpaper posting that I have coming up.

I realized the other day that I haven’t done a music post in a while. I’ve been seriously jamming to Florence + The Machine and a couple others that I’ve picked up recently. I’ll go ahead and hide the video spam below the cut, though…let me assure you it’s quite worth the click. *^___~*

First up, this. Actually, first up, a lot of these probably have embedding denied by retarded record companies, so you’ll be redirected to youtube for the listen. Ugh. Whatever.

And then….this!

Others I love from Flo…Between Two Lungs, Girl with one Eye…pretty much the whole album.
Next up, Fitz and the Tantrums, Money Grabber. Such a fun old school sound. Love it!

I discovered Grace Potter not long ago via a massive DJ mix list. I hit Medicine first and that was usurped by Paris…

but Medicine is still damned good.

Let’s see what else is pouring into my ears right now? Oh yes. Adele covering Cheryl Cole’s Promise This. Gorgeous. Gorgeous, gorgeous.

This next one is a leak from The Kills and their new album, due to drop in March. And the link probably won’t last long so enjoy while you can. I like the darker, raw edge to this.

And I’ll finish with this gorgeous animated short set to the Weepies. What I love most about this is that it can be interpreted so many different ways.  If you look at the youtube comments you can see a bunch of people mentioning what they took away from this. My interpretation was wildly different, but I’m sticking to it. What story do you see? *^__~*
