It's 10:49 and, yes they think I'm crazy

It is 10:49AM on a Saturday and the people around me think I'm crazy. I, however, am happy as a clam. I'm sitting out by the pool having a plate of leftover spaghetti with meat sauce for breakfast after an early run and hop in the pool. The running part is not so crazy, the leftovers for breakfast is.

There are back-to-back long weekends here in Brazil which is why I'm back at the beach this weekend. This time with a different group of friends. Carla, who organized it, apparently rents this house with some frequency. It is lining up to be a pretty awesome weekend. We've rented a house and I think by the end of today, we'll have 16 people here. It is a beautiful setup made much more convenient by having a cook/cleaning lady. As my obsession with media continues, here's a video that I took with my BlackBerry Pearl Flip that's a brief tour of the house (really just walking down the stairs and out to the pool)



Of course, I can't travel without a requisite minimum number of cables to connect to various speaker systems etc. Last night, we were able to watch a movie from my iPod using one cable and then we went old-school with the radio adapter to connect to a radio/speaker set. My camera has a bulky cable connecting setup so I didn't bring it... then I realized that I have my charging cable for my Pearl Flip. I can take photos and videos with it and upload them pretty quickly (I should have brought the Flip video recorder that my sister gave me ... better video quality and no cables needed! but you can only carry so much tech stuff, right?).

Shockingly, we're listening to Jack Johnson again. Such a great option for hanging by the pool, and also an easy option when you have too much music to pick from and no easy playlist set up.

Alright, back to being social and enjoying the sun.
