My only complaint was it should have ended five minutes earlier, at the main character’s entrance to the final scene. Without saying too much: the risk was there, the audience knew the risk was there, showing it again was not necessary, and it was better not to know. But again, minor point. Fantastic little film.

What this means is I have to buy new pants. What it does NOT mean is that I need new tops. In my body’s ongoing efforts to annoy me, I lose weight from the smallest parts of my body first, my hips. As I have large shoulders, this means I am now a massive inverted triangle, a body shape typically reserved for Ben Affleck and the Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12988715081739679757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571669.post-54970788209010886262009-02-02T14:05:00.000-05:002009-02-02T14:06:19.057-05:00Where does one buy "It's a Kidney!" cigars?

I have learned many things about myself in the 22 days I’ve had the WiiFt. One of them being how much I loathe passive aggressive quips, and even more so when your Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12988715081739679757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571669.post-2591015312489122462009-01-14T05:51:00.001-05:002009-05-21T08:04:47.049-05:00One more WiiFit CommentI kind of wondered how the balance board would really work with the console. I can say that Nintendo definitely used the strengths of the board very well. For example, I have been doing yoga for years and had no idea I was doing the pose Downward Dog slightly incorrectly. I wasn’t putting quite enough weight on my hands.

It wasn’t a hint. Just to be clear.). Two weeks later I have lost 4 pounds and can do all of the yoga poses without falling into the Christmas tree. If that’s not an endorsement, I don’t know what is.There was much debate on whether this actually provides you with a workout. I can say with certainty that the WiiFit is not for athletes, Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12988715081739679757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571669.post-11196397584174181792009-01-12T12:14:00.004-05:002009-01-14T11:17:44.069-05:00Good News All AroundSo the word on the street is that Followed, my script directed by a Seattle producer is nearly completed with the editing process.
