My favorite movies are:
- Lord of the Rings (all 3 of them)
- What Dreams May Come
- Breakfast at Tiffany’s
- Amelie
Nothing new have been added to the list in ages until now … dundundun … AVATAR!! I’m sure everyone is sick of hearing more news about the movie but I had to add in my two cents. There was nothing spectacular about the plot and it had the most annoying and dumb protagonist ever (I almost wanted to stop watching) but the visuals, action scenes and the epic-ness of it all were amazing. By visuals, I don’t mean the quality of the CGI but the Pandora in itself. It’s nothing new (if you read a lot of fantasy like me) but you rarely get to see it in a film presented in the way that it was. I’m looking forward to the sequels and more importantly, the book. *crosses fingers*

It’s January which means everyone is being packed into the gym like sardines. If you’re just getting started (or just want more ideas and inspiration), here are some of my favorite health and fitness related blogs.

Body Rock – This is my favorite site for work out videos (why spend hundreds of dollars on DVDs?). Zuzana’s work out videos are KILLER, short, effective and leaves me crippled the next day which I love. She’s also proof that you don’t need to go to a gym to get a fit and lean body.

Fitness Spotlight -This is just an overall awesome blog full of tips, facts and challenges. I spent like 5+ hours going through their archives when I first stumbled on it.

Cranky Fitness – Another one of my absolute favorites and is written by women. I love fitness blogs written by women because it’s easier to relate to and less entries on how to get big and bulky muscles.

James Kerrison – Not updated as often as I like but the articles published are absolute gems.

Mark’s Daily Apple – Has very informative articles that are obviously very throughly researched, with lots of statistics and facts. If you really want to get educated, hit up this blog!

Fit Bottom Girls – Fun and lighthearted fitness blog for women (and men) written by women. Has a too many seemingly sponsored posts for my liking but the rest of the articles are worth the read.
What are your favorites health/fitness blogs?

- That we’ve never been to Mars… or any other planet. As I kid, I use to indulge in astrology books (the one with lots of pictures) because I was obsessed with the universe. There were lots of “theory” books about missions to other planets and I always thought they were real… you wouldn’t be able to imagine my disappointment when I learned that we’ve never done it. Any of it.
The moon doesn’t count because it’s lame.

- The location of Korea. I always thought it was down there near Vietnam/Cambodia but I was shocked to see that it was a TINY ass country inbetween China and Japan. How can so many perfect-looking guys come out of this tiny speck on the map? Not fair.

- The sort columns in iTunes. The sort columns are the best things ever because it makes iTunes a breeze to use. I feel like a major asshole for hating on iTunes back when I didn’t know how to use it properly.

- How to spell “anonymous.” I never knew (or cared) how to spell it until I started using it a lot especially when I blog. To tell you the truth, I haven’t memorized the spelling despite looking it up 97549675643x times.
Age learned: Never…

Does anyone remember this super old show on the Family Channel (like back in the late 90’s) with these kids who had a time machine. The machine was like big round thing with pillars around it and a control station in the middle or something and they’d travel through time, meet famous people and shit happens to them where they always frantically run back to their time machine to get home. I don’t remember many of the episodes except this one where they went back to palace in 17th century France or something and everyone had white wigs, big hair (very Marie Antoinette-ish).
All I found was this question on Yahoo Answers which is talking about the same show but never answered. Ah.
I’m trying to remember the name of this show and it’s killing me!! HELP!!
