Duo claim record by watching 57 films in 123 hours

When I was in college at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, a group of friends and I would get together on weekends and watch hours upon hours of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Japanese anime (Ranma 1/2 was my favorite), while using pizza, Mountain Dew and M&Ms as fuel. I'm sure back in ( Read more... )

My trainer went on an old people riverboat cruise with her mom and grandma, so tonight was my first training session in about two weeks. (I'll be honest, it was my first workout of any kind in two weeks.) We spent the half-hour workout focusing on my back and legs.

"You have a beautiful smile, what a pretty girl you are."

I smiled (again) and thanked him. I can't ( Read more... )

I'm feeling in a particularly good mood today, so here's a quote from my "Shakespeare Love Mug":

"When you depart from me, sorrow abides, and happiness takes his leave."

My work football pool is starting to get me down. Through four weeks, I have neither one anything, nor have I gotten the 'Ball of Shame' (which, in my estimation, is the second-best thing to get, because that means a free entry in the next week's pool).
