It's Like a Disease

Here it is, guys. Another blog post about Frozen. You can leave now if you want.

Sorry.

But not sorry enough to not talk about it.

This past weekend, I was finally able to watch Frozen for the first time!! And ya know what? I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed it. I do agree with Dr. Coyne's post about Frozen in that Elsa and Anna were sexualized a bit and Anna = Rapunzel's Norwegian ginger twin. But also I'm obsessed with Kristen Bell (because this) so I'm actually fine with it.

What I'm not fine with, is the way this movie has lodged itself deep, deep within the recesses of my brain AND IT WON'T FREAKING LEAVE.

I'm not kidding, I've had the music from that movie stuck in my head for the last four days non. stop. This wouldn't be a problem, except my poor husband. Every time I'm home, I'm singing the songs. When my husband politely asks me to stop, I do for about four minutes before I just start talking to him in Frozen tunes.

This definitely happened:

Me (to the tune of "Do you want to build a snowman"): DO YOU WANNA MAKE SOME DINNER?

Him (normal speech): Yeah that sounds great. I'm getting kind of hungry.

Me: COME ON LET'S EAT SOME FOOOOOOD

Him: Please stop.

Me: WE NEVER EAT HERE ANYMORE, GO OUT THE DOOR, EATING TACO BELL  EVERYDAYYYYYY (this is actually not true - but it worked with the song, so...)

Him: PLEASE.

Even though he liked the movie (and I caught him watching it the next morning in Spanish),  I think my husband is at his wit's end. And I literally cannot stop.

Help.

Body & Soul

Last night I had the awesome opportunity to attend BYU's Fiesta. If you have never gone before, I HIGHLY recommend it. The tickets for the show were $3 and it was an absolute blast.

To be honest, I only went for a project I have in another class, but I am so happy I went. Being able to see people celebrate their culture that they love so much is just an awesome experience, and the joy and excitement they had was so contagious.

This event combined two of my favorite things in the world: music and dance. It doesn't matter if it's traditional folk dance, ballet, contemporary, hip hop, jazz - there is something about dance that can communicate messages in a way no other medium can. It's cheesy as heck, but this is one of my favorite quotes and I think it holds a lot of truth:

So, for your viewing pleasure (and also because I feel like I can't post on this blog and not include a video), here are some of my favorite dances of all time (all taken from So You Think You Can Dance, because obviously):

Everyone Look At This.

Everyone look at this music video.

It's sad, but also very cute in a weird sort of way. I like it.

Also, everyone in the world should be obsessed with Kina Grannis because she is wonderful and talented and the best thing ever. AND SHE'S MARRIED TO IMAGINARY FUTURE AND THEY ARE SO CUTE I COULD DIE. Their babies are going to be so musically talented it's gonna be ridiculous.

Here they are singing together because adorable:

Happy Friday, ya'll.
