Music is a big part of my life and in order to get myself going when it comes to working out I can’t get motivated unless I have music there to push me along. Therefore I thought it might be helpful for others to post some songs from my exercise playlist. I’m always on the look out for new music to add that will get me off the computer and in front ( Read more... )

I finally saw The Hunger Games today. I read the books back in 2010 during a week when I simply couldn't put them down. I remember going to the gym just so I could put Cole and Audrey in the kid center and be entertained while I read on the bike and elliptical. I wouldn't say I was obsessed, because after I was done reading I didn't really think ( Read more... )

Liz leaned over the sink of her hotel room bathroom and with cotton ball in hand, wiped away a large portion of the mascara covering her left eye. Staring down at the black glob that now covered the formerly white cotton, she wondered why she had chosen to wear so much makeup. Well, she knew why, but now hours after first applying the dark makeup ( Read more... )

Grumbling at the memory of Brian poking fun at her misfortune, Liz wondered why she was even wearing a dress. Dresses were for hippies and conservatives like the sister wives on Big Love. Those women didn’t even believe in showing off their ankles. Well, at least the one who never wore make up thought that. Liz wasn’t sure. It had been awhile since ( Read more... )

Not sure if anyone here watches Sherlock, but I thought I'd post my review of yesterday's episode here just in case anyone else wanted to discuss.

For the most part I liked it. I’ve always liked it, ever since I stumbled upon the last few minutes of the first episode on PBS in 2010 and then rented the miniseries as a whole a few months later. It’s ( Read more... )

I suppose I should post a third part to my Ubiquitous End of Year Pop Culture List, which would be movies and books, but honestly I don't watch too many movies nowadays. I'd much rather read about them in Entertainment Weekly than watch them. My attention span goes far better with things that don't take up as much time. TV shows are small 25-45 min ( Read more... )

I haven't been the best at updating my livejournal this year, but I did go ahead and let my account renew itself as paid, since I'm hoping to work harder at keeping this thing alive in the next year. To those of you still around these parts that celebrate the holiday, Merry Christmas. Now enjoy Britta's awkward Christmas song:

I don’t listen to the radio much beyond NPR. I don’t get MTV or VH1. What music I am exposed to usually comes from what I read about. If something gets a good review from some magazine, I will check the album out from the library take a listen and then decide from there if I like it. Therefore some of the albums on my end of list might not be ( Read more... )
