Working on My Fitness

For a long time I have been anti-gyms. I enjoyed going to the gym in college because it was free and not filled with weird old guys. Since college I've been trying to run and I haven't been too consistent with it. Therefore I broke down on Friday and bought a one year membership to 24-Hour Fitness. I think this will be good for me, it'll help fill up my time besides work and going to see movies. I can get off my ass and work out. I have a really good co-worker Verna as a gym buddy. Also, her sister is a personal trainer at the 24-Hour Fitness that we go to, so she'll be able to help us out on our form. I really want to feel good about myself and my body (and also look good for Ted when I see him in December.) So "I'll be up in the gym, just workin on my fitness!"

As for movies I saw Stardust this weekend with a coworker and loved it. It has a great blend of fantasy, drama, and comedy. Claire Danes, Robert DeNiro, and a superb Michele Pfeiffer are in it. The score in the movie blends in well through out and the costume designs are beautiful. Especially Claire Danes' first outfit. Its so plain and simple, yet elegant. Great acting and the comedy bits are perfect. Gotta love a movie with flying pirates.

Oh, Maggie, I so agree about Stardust. I saw it on Saturday and I think I'm going to go again on Wednesday with my cousin Emma (I'm taking the day off to go with my dad to the closing of their new land). I loved it so much. I read the book earlier this summer in prep for the movie, and though the movie is a little bit different, in essence it's pretty much the same. Charlie Cox, who plays Tristan, is SO ADORABLE, esp. with his longer hair (I officially sound fourteen), and Claire Danes is stunning, esp. when Yvaine is happy and they make her glow. So great. Can't wait to own it on DVD--this is probably something I'll watch over and over again.
