Another day, another dollar

Today, I had to work. I appointed myself in charge of fries because I needed to not deal with people. Over supper, we tend to have one person who makes and packages the fries because we go through so many and it is just faster that way. It's not that doing fries is my favouritest thing ever but sometimes it's good to take a break from what you've been doing for what seems like forever. That 's also why I like going to the back to get stuff or hand out stuff at the drive through. So today's favourite thing is being able to do something different from what you had been doing for a long time.

"Those mines won't sweep themselves..."

I spend a lot of time on the computer, much of which is not doing anything productive. When it was my prime source of entertainment, I tended to always have game of Minesweeper going on in the background. Minesweeper is rather difficult on a laptop because it lacks an actual mouse and all you have is the touch pad so you really have to coordinate your fingers. After a few tries, I eventually got the hang of it. I always play the advanced level because otherwise it's to easy. I don't tend to do especially well. Usually have times between 130 to 200 seconds and a 2% success rate but that doesn't stop me.

Somehow, I am not disappointed....

Today, I went to BodyPump for the first time ever on a Tuesday night. It was quite the experience, but not because it was Tuesday. For some reason, the instructor for that particular class didn't actually show up, so the instructor for the class right before it had to find someone else. Luckily, there was someone there that was a BodyPump instructor that could actually teach it. While the new intructor got herself together, the other instructor (who normally teaches BodyStep) did a BodyStep warmup with us. When the BodyPump instructor was ready, we started at the beginning of the workout.
In a typical BodyPump class, you do the exercises in the following order: Warm up, Squats, Chest, Clean and Press, Triceps, Biceps, Lunges, Shoulders, Abs, and Cool down. Today, because it took a while for everything to sort itself out, we had to cut out some of the exercise. We ended up cutting out the Lunge and Tricep tracks. We also only did one minute of Abs. I cannot say I was disappointed about that turn of events because Lunges and Triceps are two of my least favourite tracks. So today's favourite thing was a BodyPump class with no Lunges or Tricep exercises.

You look horribly familiar...

I have mentioned this many a time before but I really like Monday night television. It has 4 of the shows I like the most ("Big Bang Theory", "How I Met Your Mother", "Castle", and "Chuck" - all of which contain at least one person that has worked on something with Mr Joss Whedon). Tonight was the season finale for Big Bang Theory and Castle. They were both quite enjoyable. I only really started watching "Castle" because of Mr. Nathan Fillion who I loved in so many things ("Firefly"/"Serenity", "Waitress", "SLiTHER" and "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog" to name a few) and I really started enjoying it. Nathan Fillion plays arrogantly charming quite well. He also plays charmingly loathsome quite well, as shown by his character, Captain Hammer, in "Dr. Horrible".
In addition to the fact that it was "Castle" night, it was also "How I Met Your Mother" night which contains another of my favourites - Mr. Neil Patrick Harris, who is hysterically shameless as Barney Stinson.
So the combination of Nathan Fillion and Neil Patrick Harris both having TV shows on the same night, plus the fact that I decided to re-watch "Dr. Horrible",which stars them both (and also co- stars Simon Helberg (aka Wolowitz) from "Big Bang Theory"), made it quite the awesome night for TV.
I continue to urge people to check out "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog"; the trailer for which is available below:

So today's favourite thing is a night of TV that contains a whole lot of both Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion. Adam Baldwin would be in there too if a) "Chuck"'s season hadn't ended two weeks ago and b) he had also been in "Dr. Horrible."

PS. There are rumours going around about a sequel to "Dr. Horrible" so look out for it on a computer near you. I will no doubt post something on my blog when it is known for sure.

Yay!

So tonight was the season finale of "The Amazing Race". It was quite surprising how it turned out but I was quite happy with who won. It was the team I was actually cheering for. I was kind of worried for a while but they pulled through. The other two teams totally annoyed me. So today's favourite thing is having the team you are rooting for win.

Happy feet....

It is odd to be at relatively the beginning of my day but here I go. Today was a pretty busy day (for my sister more than me) but we did manage to make time to go for pedicures. It is one of the only things I do for self-pampering. They are very relaxing. The place we usually go to get them has really nice massage chairs for extra relaxation. It was a good day. Hopefully the goodness of the day keeps up until 6am. I have an overnight shift tonight. Fun, fun.....

Book worm

I love to read. I don't tend to read anything that's especially deep. It's ususally just a nice way to pass the time. There are a few specific authors I go back to again and again, especially if they have a series of connected books I am especially into. About a year and a half ago, I got into one particular series thanks to one of my sisters and I get so excited when a new book for it comes out. I bought the latest one in the series a couple days ago and finished it this morning. It was quite satisfying and yet on some levels I was thinking "What just happened?" Hopefully the next one comes out sooner rather than later. I am really interested to see what happens next. So today's favourite thing is the enjoyment of the latest book in a series.
