My Body Tells me No-o-o, but I Won't Quit

It's been an excellent weekend off. My sunburn continues to heal. Which is a good thing. I went and saw a couple of movies this past weekend.

First, I went and saw Red Riding Hood which I tried to get people to go to with me, but no one ended up being able to go so I went by myself. It was pretty empty, so I sat with my Sour Patch Kids and sent out the occasional twitter. It was pretty good. The casting was interesting. It was kind of like the line of thought went "Let's just cast everyone who's convenient to Vancouver, B.C., oh, and Gary Oldman." I don't really mind since it means we ended up with the guy who played Saul Tigh in Battle Star Galactica and Michael Shanks (it took me seeing his name in the credits to realize that it had been him; in my defense he looked really short and died really early on). And then y'know Catherine Hardwick had to have Billy Burke. It was pretty well put together. A lot of the tension is similar to how the first twilight movie feels (same director). I did enjoy that they were pretty true to the whole people who were already considered odd were the first people accused to being witches thing (autistic kid, prettiest girl in the town, etc.). Overall, I would probably buy it eventually to add to my DVD collection.

I also went and saw Battle: Los Angeles with my dad. It was pretty much right up his alley. Lots of explosions and military confusion. It runs a little bit along the plot of independence day, but not so much alien technology in the end. And very few computers. So, Independence Day without Jeff Goldblum. Also not as many good one liners as Independence Day. But I feel like it was much grittier than Independence Day and in that way more real. Kind of excellent.

I still want to go see Beastly. I have a thing for remade fairy tales. Also I think it has an Olsen twin in it. Also I don't think their version of making him ugly (or beastly, ahahahaha, pun) is really that bad. In fact tattoos and piercings and scars are kind of hot. But to each his own I guess.

I've got another good chord progression on the ukulele, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it quite yet. I'm not sure it wants words or not. Hmmm...I'll have to spend some time contemplating it. I wish I had a little thing to record it on so that I could play it over and over.

I'm getting better at remembering to take my vitamins and I've almost gotten rid of the weight that I gained back in Hawaii (which was 3 lbs, so not absolutely the worst thing ever). I feel like I've stalled a little bit though. I'm confident weight loss will continue, but I just need to get past this point. I feel a little bit out of control with the eating, but I'm getting better every day, so it's just a matter of time. And that's really hard to remember some days, that as long as I'm not going up, it doesn't matter how long it takes me to lose the weight as long as I lose it. That's all I care about.

And now I'm off! Have a good night internets.
