So yesterday as I was reading your recommendations for my 5k playlist, a genius idea popped into my head. As per usual, I posted my thoughts to facebook.
My friend Joe is a DJ at 95SX and told me all I had to do was come into the station and we could record some tracks! I'm telling you guys...facebook has all the answers. Or Joe does. Either way. Right after work I drove over to the station to play. There were so many buttons and controls!! I did put on some headphones, though! Don't I look sassy?
While I Joe edited clips and played the hottest tracks, we had a little snack time. Clearly we both like pretzels. The 100 calorie pack was actually his and I stole a bunch. Why is the sweet & salty combo SO good?
We also shared some dried (candied?) pineapple. This stuff is addicting.
Joe recorded two motivational speeches for me to listen to while I run. They are hilarious and I wish I could post them on the blog. I know they will pump me up just as much as Lil Wayne - so thank you, Joe!
Then we made the traffic guy take a pic of us. Don't know what's up with my left eye slant -- could I be part of TLC? Haha. Long day at work people, stop judging.
Once Joe wrapped up at the station, we went to the movies to see Due Date. I had been wanting to see this movie for a while. Zach Galifianakis makes me laugh hysterically and I have always admired Robert Downey Jr. (minus his bouts of drug addiction).
Although the events in the movie were pretty predictable, there were funny parts. You can't help but laugh at Galiafianakis' facial expressions and mannerisms no matter what role he's in. As you may have seen in the previews, there is one part in particular that really made me chuckle. In a very serious tone, Ethan (played by Galifiniakis) tells Peter (Downey Jr.), "You better check yourself before you wreck yourself." Who says that?! I might steal it, use it, and abuse it. Here's a youtube video in case you haven't seen it.
Hilarious. Have you seen Due Date or any other new releases? I still need to hurry up and see The Social Network! What is YOUR favorite movie of all time? Please share!
The motivational speech is such a good idea! I want to see Due Date! And no idea what my favorite movie of all time is- that's such a hard question! Maybe A Beautiful Mind?
Oh my gosh- how fun! I bet you're going to be laughing hysterically during your run. I want to see Due Date! We both love Zach G (Josh & I). Its totally on our must see list
Haha love the motivational speech idea! How fun that you were able to go to a radio station and make a recording. Someone should seriously release an album titled "I Run Faster Than Boys."
Favorite movies: Anchorman, The Holiday, Elf, Grease and Love Actually.
Jeezy creezy...My eye does the SAME thing! Although I think my problem has more to do with facial deformity than a long day at work (although Lord knows I've had plenty of those). I WANT TO HEAR THE MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH...There has to be a way to get this on your blog. I just know it.
Favorite movies: The Lovely Bones (heavy subject matter and hard to get through, but it's a fabulous film), Love Actually (can watch this over and over again), Shawn of the Dead (effing HILARIOUS)....And I won't tell you the rest because it'll make me sound geekier than people already know I am. :)
i'm obsessed with Zach Galafanakis (sp) or "Fat Jesus" as I like to refer to him. i have GOT to see this movie. The Hangover is my favorite movie of all time. Hands Down. It's also my mom's!
p.s. did Joe used to work at a radio station in Greenville? He looks familiar.
How cool that you now have your motivational tracks for running? I'm uber jealous.
As for movies, I'm a bigger fan of Netflix, so I'm like 3-4 months behind the rest of the civilized world. I just sent back Date Night and Couple's Resort. FYI: Couple's Resort is a horrible movie. Don't watch it.
What a great idea for your 5k! You are going to rock it!! I saw Due Date and seriously thought it was HILARIOUS. Not as funny as the hangover, but definitely a great movie! I also saw the Social Network and it's sooo good! My favorite movie of all time is probably How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days (or any other chick flick lol). My friends literally had to convince me to see Due Date and the Social Network because they weren't chick flicks, but I'm happy they did! Have a great weekend :)
I want to see the social network as well. I have alot of favorite movies. Good Will Hunting is of my favorites as well as Pretty Women and of course the Hangover!
I can't wait to see that movie. I loved The Hangover. Some of my go-to fav movies are Mean Girls, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Keeping the Faith, and School of Rock. Love me some laughs.
For a minute there i thought you were about to record an album...and then i was about to be real jealous. side note: due date was taped in LAS CRUCES! yeahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! So really I just wanted to say THANKS, thanks for supporting my desert rats!
Umm..what a awesome way to just hang out at a radio station lol!!!? I want to play there! That is seriously awesomeee! I get the lazy slant in pictures too. You are still hawt stuff.
Thanks for the boot tip! I am searching online for a pair of killer cowboy boots right now haha
I never thought about voice tracks for motivation- that's a really good idea! Although I listen to online radio while running so I guess that's out for me..but it's still cool.
That is SO awesome! I swear you have the hook up everywhere :) Chik-fil-a & the radio station :) Oh, and I have to tell you, I've been thinking about your play list lately, and I definitely think you should add my 'boyfriend' (hahahhaa) Pitbull's song- No speak Americano (something like that) & the new enrique/ ludacris song. :)
The movie Due Date got a really bad review but I'm not sure if that is going to stop me from watching it, the preview looked good.
The most recent movie that I loved is The Social Network, I tell people that it's just not about Facebook, it's more than that....it's about friendship, betrayal, broken hearts and the story of a kid trying to fit in.
You look like a natural behind the booth! Thats hilarious that he recorded a speach for you! You will probably start cracking up while you're running. Thats a super cute idea though! Zach Galifianakis is so funny, his wolfpack speach from the Hangover cracks me up every time! Enjoy your weekend! :)
Just found your blog, definitely made me laugh! Thanks! Getting motivational speeches downloaded is such a great idea! I could use those for the next 10k im planning on running-Ive been out of running for a while!
So awesome that Joe came to the rescue! I'll have to remember to use FB to bounce ideas around. I'd like to see Due Date. We finally got around to watching The Hangover last night and I loved it!!!
The motivational speech is such a good idea!
ReplyDeleteI want to see Due Date! And no idea what my favorite movie of all time is- that's such a hard question! Maybe A Beautiful Mind?

I want to see that, but it'll have to wait until it comes out on dvd. That's so cool that you got to go into the radio station!
ReplyDeleteI heart Zach G. I heard the movie was a little bit of a disappointment, but I promise I'll be red boxing it once it hits dvd...

What a fun gig!! And great idea, that's brilliant. I want to hear em:)
ReplyDeleteThe day Robert Downey Jr woke up in the kids bed changed his life, haa. He is an amazing actor.
I love the Harry Potter flicks, but all time, that's tough too many to choose.
So awesome that Joe came to the rescue! I'll have to remember to use FB to bounce ideas around. I'd like to see Due Date. We finally got around to watching The Hangover last night and I loved it!!!
