Adriann and I went on an impromptu trip to the movies to see PotC: AWE. lol That spells awe.

It was a little…off for me. I don’t know what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn’t what I saw. I liked it, I guess, to a certain extent, but at the same time, I feel like they turned the movies into something they never were meant to be. While I appreciated Davey Jones’ emotion (keep in mind, I’m in LOVE with Bill Nighy) for the sake of his character, I don’t think it fit. At all. I was disappointed to see him cry, because…well, I didn’t feel anything. I love when men cry, everyone knows that, so for me to say that it didn’t hit me is pretty big. And disappointing. :( Because Davey Jones crying = wonderful. It should have been powerful, but it fell flat.

Half the time during the movie I was lost, because I didn’t like the 2nd movie, so I was struggling to remember why this person was doing this and that person doing that. It was tangled and intangible, and I really don’t think I loved it.

I mean sure, I enjoyed it for seeing Bill Nighy and Johnny Depp and I even enjoyed Kiera Nightley more than I ever had before (except she was a h0r), but the movie aspect of it, the storyline that was SO phenomenal and unexpected in the 1st movie, was void of feeling for me.

I’ll probably change my mind later. Give me time to digest it.

The Pirate

One day you’ll wake up
there will be nothing left

the old you will
seem distant, deteriorated –
dead.

I miss her sometimes
only when I’m down

she brought me there
unaware, I followed –
a ghost

Adriann and I did really good today. We ate Jamba Juice and salads for lunch, apples for breakfast, and walked for 40 minutes for a distance of 2 miles. I even stretched my old marching band muscles and rolled my feet for the short parts of the track.

It’s very nice having a school right next door!

In other news… oh yeah, there is no other news. Except that we’ll be in Vegas with Deana for Memorial Day!! Oh and I got a henna tattoo at the Renaissance Faire. It’s gorgeous and it’s Arabic for “bliss” or “rapture”. It’s actually so beautiful and poetic to me that I’m pondering getting it as a real tattoo on my shoulder or wrist. It looks nice where it is now, on the back of my hand, facing me. It’s sort of nice to look at it.

Um…not much else to report. Got a Wii. It rocks. So hard.

The end. :)

I’ve been doing good lately about eating better and exercising as much as possible throughout the week. Adriann and I have a mini goal to lose 5 pounds this month, which doesn’t seem to be happening for me at least, but my goal is to lose 58 pounds by April 29th, 2008. I think that’s reachable, if I continue on the path I’m on now. It seems like a lot, but even if I lost that weight, I’d still be considered “overweight” for my height. However, for me personally, that goal weight seems ideal.

I’m attaching a screenshot of my progress for this month, because they give nifty report cards, and even though I missed a couple of days counting-wise, I am trying really hard, and I think looking at this motivates me to continue to get As and Bs. :) No Fs for me!! Never never never.

Any compliments or critiques or suggestions would be great. :) Honestly.

For those of you (Jackie) who are too impatient to listen to the whole interview, here’s a link to listen to the commercial. ;) Enjoy!

So those of you who know me know I’m definitely NOT a trekkie. Jackie and Vickie spent the whole of last summer trying to change that, but to no avail! Okay, they got me into Ricardo Montalbaun (sp?) aka KHAN, but that’s only ’cause he was hot and kicked Kirk’s fat arse. Bwah.

Um yeah, anyway. Lunarpages is awesomer than awesome and so I figured I should showcase some of the awesomeness. My boss Amy got some webmaster radio time yesterday with Mr. Shoemoney (one of the biggest affiliate gurus on the planet) and I got to sit in, laugh a bit, and here our new commercial that’s a spoof on Star Trek. So, you don’t have to listen, but during the first and third commercial breaks, you can hear the commercial, and I think J&V especially will enjoy it!

Also, I’m on an official diet and exercise plan. 1,900 cals a day, which is sooooo doable and DDR till I drop. Also some easy Pilates stretching for my back. My goal is to lose 5 pounds by May 30th, 2007.
