Nik: Stop texting, we have to work.
Alex: I’m not texting. I’m checking my Pulse.
Nik: (silent)
Alex: It’s an app called Pulse. My friend Henry showed me. He’s a nurse. It’s a newsreader that allows you to see all of your favorite blogs, magazines, social networks and newspapers in ONE place.
Nik: Henry’s a nurse?
Alex: (silent)
Nik: Pulse? Nurse? Ya get?
Alex: Good one.
Nik: I just made apple-cranberry crisp (substituted blueberries for cranberries) from Williams-Sonoma’s healthy in a hurry cookbook and it was so freaking good that I’m considering opening an apple-blueberry crisp shop. I ate it all.
Alex: So no leftovers?
Nik: Yeah…no.
Nik: Alex, you have to check these guys out. They’re a nineteen piece, 1930’s New Orleans style orchestra and cabaret show. It was originally inspired by the Bruce Springsteen Seeger Sessions, but it’s very Moulin Rouge. Their shows are so much fun with a group or on a date! They have a show on August 30th at the Ford Amphitheater. You should go!
Nik: If you’re not watching this show. Do. It’s inspirational and the cameras take you into the manly wonderment of an NFL locker room. Some quotes from the last episode…
“No man fears to do that which he knows he does well. If you know what the hell to do you should have no anxiety about getting it done. You should be relaxed and be able to do it and get it done. With everything chaotic around you, you outta be able to focus and get it done if you know what to do inside and out.” – Marvin Lewis (Bengals Head Coach)
“All you can really do is stay ready and stay hungry. As long as there is an opportunity I’m gonna keep on chasing.” – Aaron Maybin (after he got cut)
Alex: Figuring out your workflow is tough! Especially when you work from home. It’s so easy to get distracted... and take naps, watch Netflix, eat food, procrastinate. I’m having one of those moments where inspiration takes over all resistance and boy does it feel good to be productive. It got me thinking about what I need to do to get back to this feeling. I realized that the future can’t be written. It can ...
Nik: Not that I’m sitting home taking tons of pictures of myself, but how do I take a good selfie?
Alex: Taking selfie pics makes me feel funny, but it’s good to be uncomfortable every once in awhile.
Nik: I agree, but I look constipated in every picture. Ooh, let’s ask Jae.
Alex: Jae?
Nik: Our friend. You know…the fashion photographer (www.jaefeinberg.com). She’ll have great tips.
Alex: Oh, I remember. I love her dog Shadow.
Nik: Yeah. Shadow’s sweet. She just texted back. Here’s what she said:
Nik: This is a great read. Reese Witherspoon is set to star in the movie.
Alex: Nice legs.
Nik: Doggonit.
Alex: Haha, I love you.
Nik: I want them Vans.
Alex: Got my vans on but they look like sneakers.
Nik: Huh?
Nik: Love these Essie Sleek Sticks. They’re super easy to apply and cheaper than a mani. Bonus: I’m going on two weeks and my nails still look amazeballs.
Alex: Amazeballs… What kind of balls are those?
