Dec. 5th, 2009 09:42 pmWe got the first snow if the year! Ok, it is raining now and the snow will melt quickly but for a little bit: snow!
I was playing more Wii Fit Plus again. I am trying to keep up a half hour every day. So far I’m just trying different preset routines before I will build up my own. A mix of Yoga and Aerobics and a bit of strength seems to work so far. I do like the games too. Today I worked out on in for 21 minutes before Mama wanted the TV. We have three TVs in our house, one on every floor but, of course, she wanted the big tv where the Wii is hooked up. And she is damn stubborn. I had to interrupt it, and I really don’t like doing that. I did manage to get back into it after an hour. I was trying this bicycle exercise where you step in place to pedal and use the remote to steer. You have to hit 13 flags and then get to the gate. I really enjoyed it except for one thing, there was this dog that just followed me as I was biking on the screen. Now, I realize the dog is not a real dog, and me on that bike isn’t really me but even having a fake game dog run after me in the game just made me feel really uncomfortable. My phobia never extended to tv or movie or pictures of dogs, just real dogs, but I guess since the Wii character looks like me my brain is just uncomfortable. I will play the game again to see if the dog always follows but that really distracted me.
I finally watched “Office Space.” I’ve never seen it and it came up on my Netflix queue. It just seems a movie that I had to watch and it did amuse. I spend just a bit of time in an office setting as a temp and those places do seems to deaden your soul. I prefer academia for a variety of activities one has to do, although it would be nice to leave work at 5 and have free non-guilt time in the evenings. Good movie, funny in many places, don’t know if I can watch it more than once, though.
