Witty Post TItle

Blog entry number: I have no idea.

So.. I've had a pretty boring week or so. Work, work, work, sleep, work work, gym, gym, work, bar, gym, blue-ray, WoW, stuff.

Movie poster!

The blue ray was Stardust. And it is now one of my favorite movies. I remember seeing this in 2007 and loving it in a Princess Bride kinda way.  The big names in it are Claire Danes (the star), Michelle Pfeiffer (the evil skin-hanging off old woman witch), and Robert DeNiro (the cross dressing pirate cut-throat captain). Yes, I said Robert De Niro and cross dressing pirate in the same parenthetical fragment. He's fabulous in both a literal and a figurative sense. It has a happy ending, which is one of the top few criteria to make my favorite movie list.  Other criteria is... explosions.. good music.. and very little politics.


If you haven't seen it - rent it or Netflix it. :) It's really cheap at Amazon (9.99) and Walmart (8.96). Both of those versions are the blue ray. I imagine regular is even cheaper.





Work is good. Good in a way that I'm kinda sad my temp assignment with them is over on Dec 6th. It's a job that isn't too hard, and it requires me to be smart in a think-ahead kinda way. And it gets me 40 hours a week (if I was allowed overtime with OfficeTeam I'd get more than that.) I'm going to be a sad girl after Dec 6th. The Regional Vice-President of the company works there and he's been very supportive of me looking up a Club (Hair Club) wherever I end up and he'd help me get a job.  And the entire staff has been super-nice. It makes working with them for 8 hours so much easier. An added bonus is I get to play HAIR PIECE, NOT A HAIRPIECE all day. You don't watch Letterman? You won't get that joke.

I'm not getting to the gym as often as I'd like.  I think it's the whole working 8 hours a day thing. But every time I go I do about half hour of weights then an hour-long spinning class. NEW GOAL: 3-4 times a week.

I don't like how every time I see a picture with spinning in it everyone seems attractive, super skinny, happy, and like totally excited about what they're doing. NO. That is not how it is. You're sweating like an 800 pound woman running a from an angry monkey, your face is so red you look like at any second you could pass out, you look hideous from every angle, and you're bouncing up and down on your hoo-haa (or whatever the cutesy name for a man's hoo-haa is.)

Ok.. Now for something totally different. I don't talk about my video-gaming habit very often because I think the people who read this blog (let's be honest, no one reads this) will make fun of me in a ZOMG LOSER kinda way.

But I run (sorta run) a guild in World of Warcraft, Horde side. And I raid too... Ya, I'm one of those raiding people.  Hours spent pushing buttons trying to kill pixelated dragons. My guild is a "casual" raiding guild which means we raid for a short amount of time two times a week. And this past week, we KILLED RAGNAROS. He's the last boss in the "Firelands" raid encounter. So it's sort of a big deal. so YAY US. Ok, you can go back to making fun of me pretending I don't play WOW.



Ok... rambling over.

Carry on,
