seriously... if you come home from work and have nothing to do, how do you fill your evening?
last night i felt incredibly guilty, because i ignored the pile of laundry and other household chores that had to be done, (as well as the GORGEOUS weather outside) and just screwed around on the computer. what site did i spend most of my time on?
singshot, a karaoke site that lets you record your performances. (damn you,
bohemianrapsody... first you get me into hooping, now this.) it's a hoot. there are contests you can enter, too... some people are waaaaay too into it though, and contact other site users to drive traffic to their songs to get more votes. i even received an
e-mail from one girl, announcing that she had a new song up. eek... i just don't have the energy to campaign for karaoke votes. *chuckle*
in other fun news, my new hoop came today! earlier this week i ordered the
viva las vegas hoop, a gorgeous metallic gold and black spiral design... i had read that the travel hoops (the type i own) aren't good for regular and/or hard hooping (read: beginner like me beating it up), so i splurged and got a regular one. i can definitely see the difference -- the new one is firmer (the travel one warps a bit as i hoop hard), and the grip tape is better... plus it's a couple of inches smaller. i think the stiffer tubing will work out better for me as i'm learning. i tried it for a minute this afternoon and it feels good... i'll play around with it more tomorrow morning to see.
