Where did yesterday's blog go?

Oh yeah, that's right. I forgot to blog yesterday. Instead I was sitting around being lazy. I've turned to being lazy yet again. I have to get off my butt. I haven't worked out in over a week now and I'm going to have to kick the kids off the wii so I can.

Yes, I said I have to kick the kids off the wii so I can work out. I've found that using the wii fit game is the only way that I get myself to do any type of working out. I actually find it fun (and challenging at the same time) to see if I've improved or gotten worse. It's also quite fun to do some of those challenging yoga stretches. I've found myself laughing out loud at myself as I'm attempting to do the dancer. If you don't know what the dancer is I will tell you (I guess even if you do know you're going to have to deal with me telling you too). The dancer is when you stand on one leg (let's say right), take your left leg and bend it behind you. Then you grab your left foot with your left hand and pull upwards. While doing this you are extending your right arm out straight in front of you, which allows you to slightly lean forward. Your left leg is bent at a 90 degree angle behind you. So you pretty much look like an awkward swan from swan lake. I believe that is probably another reason why I laugh while doing this stretch. I'm picturing feathers in my hair and a tutu.

So, what I have been doing is watching movies. The night before last Jay and I watched Pirates of the Caribbean (the first one). I just was in the mood for action and comedy and what better to provide me with that than Pirates? So of course, since we watched the first, last night we watched the second installment, Dead Man's Chest. This one is definitely more action packed than the first, but for some reason I believe this is my least favorite of the three. I think it is because at some points it just becomes too much.

I do have to admit I absolutely love a few scenes. The first is when Jack and the crew are separately being chased by the island tribe. The second is the Kraken scene on the merchant ship. The third is the scene where Jack, Will, and Norrington are fighting and not paying any attention to what's going on around them. Then, of course, there is the scene where the Kraken attacks the Black Pearl. Definitely, I think the Kraken was the best role in the film.

So, tonight I believe we will watch At World's End so I can see Jack going crazy in Davy Jones' Locker and all the sand turn to crabs in order to move the Black Pearl. Plus I love Jack the Monkey.
