Friday One Minute Dance Party - Weeds Flash Mob with Michael Franti and Spearhead - Say Hey (I love You)


If you're a Weeds viewer, this isn't new to you.
And if you're a radio listener (am i the only one left without satellite?), this will no doubt get old soon.
Why is that always the case? We love to overdo it, don't we?
Well, until then, I am going to enjoy this fun song that I still love, and get my ass up off the couch for a few minutes and dance in the sweet summer sunshine.
Please feel free to do the same.
Happy Friday!

in its fabulous entirety...(EDIT: sorry, they disabled the embed request, so you have to go to youtube to watch it...just a click away)

Why I love California # 83 - Cougar Acceptance


We are not only overpopulated with Cougars, we are now holding contests for them. The official press release for this weekend's event at the local racetrack was actually titled "Cougar Alert."

Del Mar racetrack holds contest for Miss Cougar
Women who consider themselves “cougars” are invited to apply for the crown of Miss Cougar Del Mar 2009.

The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, which operates the horse races, announced the new contest to promote the Cougar II Handicap, the longest race of the seven-week meet at 1.5 miles.

“Del Mar won't hide that the seaside track is known for attracting cougars of all kinds,” the club said in a statement announcing the contest. “The mature ladies on the prowl have come to be a staple element of Del Mar's charm.”

To apply, submit a photo, contact information and one sentence describing qualifications to be crowned Miss Cougar to misscougar@dmtc.com by 5 p.m. tomorrow. Photos will be posted on delmarscene.com.

The winner will be announced Wednesday, and will be invited to present the Cougar II Handicap race trophy that afternoon.

The winner will receive four passes for Friday's races. –T.M.
