Went on a trip to the cinema on Saturday - after having successfully proved the veracity of the blog's title by foutering and skiving through the rest of the day rather than attending the 2 classes that I should have...
"Snow White and The Huntsman" was the film of choice. Um - don't. There are some nice ideas, but the film basically suffers from being slow enough that you have time to wonder about various things and then become annoyed by them. For example - you're locked in a tower from early childhood, when do you learn to ride? You're running for your life from a murderous enemy: do you (a) take the shortest route to where you're going and go as fast as you can, or; (b) wander aimlessly, meeting lots of people for tea, and repeatedly not post a guard while you sleep? And don't even get me started on the folly of mounting a cavalry attack against foot only to dismount as soon as you've made contact...
Charlize Theron chewed the scenery exceedingly well though: sadly, Kristin Stewart's annoying mouth thing isn't something that she affected for Twilight and her Snow White is thus only slightly less blank and annoying than Bella.
Here endeth this week's film review...
Other than that, I tried out Zumba for the first time on Monday night. Far, far too much fun to be proper exercise - a random cross between belly-dancing and all schools of Latin dancing. I am quite sure that it would not appear on any list as recommended exercise - no mention at all of working only one muscle group at a time - but... I will be back!
:o)
Today's stats:
Zumba - 1 hour
