Chicagoans, don't forget Funny Ha-Ha tomorrow! Also, this weekend I covered the show Bridalplasty (and if you want to read what I want for Christmas, go here--I already got one of my wish list items! Thanks, Stan and Tudy.)

Last week I posted my current favorite workout tunes and I asked you guys to send in yours. Thanks to everyone who contributed. If you're like me you have a lot of energy to burn after this long weekend of eating so I hope you find a few new favorites for your playlist. By the way, I have one more to add: "Lost in the World" by Kanye West (best for your warmup since you have to get through a minute of a capella music to get to the beats, which are well worth it.)
