Weekend Wrap-Up

This weekend had me fighting with an install of a game on both my computers. Star Wars Galaxy- you won the battle. I can’t get it to play While waiting on one of the many 3 hour installs I decided to break out my solar camping shower because of the heat. 99 degrees = a painful experience for this mutated by Alaska girl.

I pulled a tow rope out of the trunk and threw it across a rafter on my back porch. After suspending the 45 lb bag of water- it was good times! A quick spray down when things got a little too hot and a nice little shower for my wilting bucket of daisies was bliss. I think I’ll keep that thing out there until they tell me to take it down because I found so many uses for it.

A good way to cool off
An easy way to water the foliage
Spraying down the patio furniture that tends to get dusty from the flow of traffic
Soak unsuspecting animals and joggers.

This weekends rearranging of the living room *again* and WHY I should probably focus next on my poor bedroom.

I did watch two films. One was a French action flick that impressed me with the stunts and action shots- Distict B13. Awesome 4 stars given

Produced and co-written by acclaimed filmmaker Luc Besson, this stylized action thriller is set in Paris 2010, where the government has fenced off the city’s ghettos, the most dangerous of which is District B13. Teaming up to infiltrate the lawless sector, an elite-unit cop and a reformed vigilante put their lives on the line in a gutsy attempt to retrieve a stolen nuke and thwart a terrorist attack by the city’s most powerful gang.

The next film wasn’t so great: The Invasion. A remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (I guess I should say *another* remake) and one that didn’t need to be made. I’m throwing this in the same dung heap as Pyscho ‘98.

This afternoon I decided to try Yoga. A recent purchase of Yoga pants for comfort had me thinking that perhaps I should try this old granola trend. I put on my pants, searched for Yoga online and then sat with my mouth wide open in shock as I listened to these people spew out some pretty odd things. “Now breathe into your side ribs, push out your back ribs, feel the serenity pull up on the top of your heart and beam it out through the crown of your head.” HUH!?! I decided to ignore the words because it wound up being a distraction (I’d continuously pause and stare at them ‘Are they SERIOUS?’). Jonathon was all on board with the Yoga work out and I thought he was being encouraging. I looked over at him while doing my routine where half the time I’d shout at the screen, “Oh he-ell no!” and he couldn’t take it any more, he began cracking up non stop until he could hardly breathe, “Keep trying it mom… ha ha ha ha ha.”

I closed out the Yoga, blew up my exercise ball and went into the bedroom where I could humiliate myself in private.

My plans for tonight- some blush wine mixed with sparkling water, listening to my water fountains and relaxing. In the meantime I leave you with this:
