I love this youtube video. One suggestion: play something a bit peppier in the background while you watch it. The music in the video just doesn’t work for me.
Speaking of music…for some reason I have been really into the acoustic version of Britney Spears’ “Toxic” song. My favorite is by the chapin sisters, but Yael Naim‘s rendition is just as good (she sings the “New Soul” song for the MacBook Air ad). I love it so much that I had to add it to my myspace page. I may have lost some points for enjoying Britney’s Toxic song, but I don’t mind. I will share my Toxic love with pride and confidence.
Cooper, on the other hand is obsessed with Yael Naim’s “New Soul.” He whistles it all the livelong day.

At a very young age I lost site of my mom in a local grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. I did, however, have the smarts to go to the customer service counter. The kind woman at the counter asked "What is your name little girl?" My reply: "Assi." The woman gave me a look like, "Are you playing with me you little devil?" but she proceeded to blast on the loudspeaker the "We have a lost Assi at the front of the store." Customers throughout the store gagged and giggled, but my mom knew exactly who the woman was referring to: the mullet haired little girl with a tongue too big for her mouth, wearing a leotard, skirt, tights, and jelly shoes (with florescent green laces in them...even though they didn't need the laces). A shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing. I am pleased to report that today I am able to fully pronounce Allison (aka Ali), but the Assi pseudonym has always stuck, evolving into Aszi. As for the shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing? Some things never change.
