One of my Christmas gifts was a membership to planet fitness.

I actually asked for it and was pretty excited about it.

I like going to the gym, it's a great reason to get out and meet people and more importantly get healthy.

Back in the day (eight months ago) I had lost a lot of weight because I was going to the Y all the time and eating "better."

So today with a new workout hat, I went to Planet Fitness and got on a swanky looking elliptical.

I just forgot one major thing...stretching.

Maybe if I was on a treadmill, it wouldn't have been as bad, but since the elliptical utilizes more muscles than the treadmill, and not stretching, I felt it right away. And it wasn't a burn of intense exercise. No my friends it was as if I was a rusty wheel, moving without oil.

So I was able to go 20 mins, but it wasn't easy. But it will get easier.

Especially if I stretch...

So I'm at work, and since I'm the only one I put on the tv, because I wanted to watch highlights from last nights Pats game which I missed.

Turns out our work tv doesn't get any sports oriented channels. Not even MTv so I can watch a marathon of some tween show.

It's a battle between Judge Mathis and Love Actually....

...Love Actually won.

Can't help it, Kiera Knightly is adorable.

Oh sweet, sweet top five lists.

I won't lie, this is always one of my highlights of the year. Writing these lists. And it's not because it's such a unique thing. Top (Insert number here) lists are as much of an editorial cliche as you can get it. It's right up there with "What's hot and what's not" (almost always accompanied with a funny graphic of a mercury thermometer), it's pretty much the same five movies/songs/tv shows on every list with the exception of one dark horse to stir controversy.

So my theory is to do the top five things I wish I never experienced of 2007.

 

My MySpace song was deleted by artist, I need a new song...any suggestions? Anyone? Anyone?

(Why yes this is plagrized from my work blog)

I recently moved into a new place.

One of the many selling points, was that cable and internet are included in the rent, which makes it slightly more affordable and fantastic because I only have to write one check.

 

Maybe it was the post-turkey tryptophan, but I've had some dreams that really have given me anxiety are are slightly scary.

Thank you Battlestar Gallactica for being so awesome!

However, I believe last episode you told me you would be back in January. What's up with making me wait until March?

But Razor fulfilled my need for BSG, that I'll forgive you...and It will also inspire me to watch the last three seasons again, because it explained a lot! So much that I think I might have forgotten some stuff.

The new Dunkin Donuts uniforms are different colors and vaguely resemble the uniform from Star Trek: TNG.

My question is, do the DD uniforms signify rank? Or just if the employee liked red instead of orange.

This season of Heroes has been great.

Sometimes a second season of a show can be a make or break season. Lost for example, its second season took less of a sci-fi edge because ABC didn't want to "Buffy-size" it.

But Heroes has been able to keep up the intensity while introducing new characters and storylines. And almost flawlessly too. There are some hiccups here and there, but for the most part it's been a very entertaining season.

And despite Claire's desperate attempts to keep busy during the writers strike (which is the reason why this season looks like could end in two weeks, which is a shame, but hopefully it will end soon, because of selfish, selfish reasons....and I don't want to watch American Gladiators and Deal or No Deal on NBC come spring time), I have to say I'm happy to see that they aren't half-assing this half-season of Heroes.

Tonight's episode for example....


By the way....BSG Mini-series "Razor" premieres Saturday...so at least I'll be amused before Lost hits ABC, and I won't be completely without entertaining tv in the spring.
