Ten on Tuesday

1. I'm still feeling sad about the passing of MCA.

2. I wish I'd been a more organized employee over the past year, because now my files are in such disarray that I don't even know where to start reorganizing.

3. Ditto for the rest of my disorganized life.

4. I have (sadly) given up Starbucks' mini pies. *sniff*

5. I am no longer in last place in my work hockey pool! Granted I'm not exactly winning, either - but it's progress!

6. Have you seen this? If not, stop what you're doing, locate your nearest movie theatre, and get in line now. I don't care if it's 7AM and the next show isn't until 7PM. Go. Now.


7. I don't know if it's the fact that I've been eating less sugar or that it's spring, but I can't seem to get enough strawberries and green grapes. Delicious.

8. It's been ages since I finished reading the Hunger Games, and I still haven't really gotten into another book. I tried a few, including Fifty Shades of Grey that everyone's got their panties in a bunch over or because of, but nothing has grabbed my interest. Suggestions?

9. It has been sunny all week. I feel like I'm in bizzarro Canada.

10. Just for laughs:


That's all, folks!

RIP MCA

Sad news - today hip hop lost one of its brightest stars. Adam Yauch (better known as MCA) of the Beastie Boys passed away at the age of 47. He has been fighting cancer since 2009.

I find myself feeling both sad and nostalgic. It is perhaps no coincidence that I feel like the music of the Beastie Boys has been around in the back and foreground for most of my life, considering that MCA first took the stage with the Beastie Boys (then a punk group) in the year I was born. Not only has his music and showmanship provided hours of entertainment, but he used his celebrity to support causes he believed in - most notably as an organizer of the Tibetan Freedom concerts.

The Beastie Boys' newest (and final) album as a trio was released  yesterday. Here's an awesome video for the first single, featuring a whole slew of really famous people:




RIP, MCA. You will be missed.
