Restaurant Refugee has declared this to be International Crush Day. It's a day to admit your crushes. Because who doesn't love a good crush?
First is the Refugee himself for his ability to write the shit out of a blog while waiting for his duck to confit. I've used his short-rib recipe a lot. You should use his recipes, too. And read his blog. He's even available via Twitter these days and I bet that's cool, too.
Colum McCann has also made me swoon with Let the Great World Spin. Every character is so beautifully realized, every scene vividly chisled that it made me want to cry. Plus, it inspired me to see Man on Wire. Which leads me to...
Philippe Petit, that Man on Wire himself. This man has lived his entire life with absolute passion. He's a little crazy, sure, but in that delightfully mad way that makes you remember the glory of exuberance.
If I could make out with Ellen Page right now, I totally would. She's adorable. Hard Candy, Juno, Whip It! Someday they'll stop making her play teenagers.
And on the subject of girl-crushes: Emily Blunt and Carey Mulligan. Yeah.
I also have a super-crush on Baptiste Yoga. I want to to it all the time. If it were a person I would write it notes with check boxes and giggle at it.
So that's my list for now. Consider airing your own crushes. It's fun for everyone.
Me, I think I'm going to address my love note to Zeeky and stalk the schedule so I know I'm taking his class.....
:)
I'm really glad there will be more Baptiste at the studio. I usually do all three classes every week and I sometimes practice at home to podcasts, so a couple more classes a week will be great.
No matter what, though, pass your notes to Zeeky. He totally deserves them.
I saw the book...read a few excerpts online. I am going to get it. I had no idea that he taught bikram for awhile. He wasn't getting what he needed. So I am curious and excited to keep going and discover more about the philosophy part of the discipline....
