The Incredible Hulk

Posted in Media at 8:15 am with tags: comics • exciting summer stuff • movies • the hulk

He’s totally my favorite superhero character, so needless to say I’m stoked for the new movie. Seems like it’s going to be a hybrid of the comics, Ang Lee’s Hulk, and the television show, which is wicked cool.

David Lynch on the iPhone

Posted in Uncategorized at 12:51 pm with tags: cinema • cool videos • david lynch • iphone • movies

Yes, it’s a bit of film snobbery but I agree. Someday soon someone will watch Apocalypse Now on an iPhone and say they’ve seen it. Mr. Lynch is right……seeing is not experiencing.

Sound Advice

Live Free of Die Hard, the IMDB typo of the day. From what I’ve heard about this latest McClaine outing, that’s definitely not bad advice.

Knocked Up

Highly recommended. Judd Aptow does it again, comedy and drama mixed to perfection. A startlingly poignant examination of both the light and dark sides of the masculine and feminine.

Training Log: Day 12

Posted in 12 week challenge, fitness at 5:01 pm with tags: H.I.I.T. • movies

This morning was more hill jogging, which I find myself far more adverse to than lifting. Likely because I do it alone, and thus it takes 100% internal motivation, I find its harder to get out each morning. There was a nice chill breeze this morning that made it even tougher, though once I got warmed up the wind no longer registered.

My first three charges up the hill were pretty intense, with #2 in particular being the closest to an all out sprint. By 5 & 6 I was chugging along at a noticeably slower pace.

As always I got really congested fairly quickly, and found myself coughing quite a bit. The whole not being able to breathe thing has gotten really old, so I’ve scheduled an appointment with an ENT for Friday, assuming my cobra coverage will back date (I’m 99% sure it will). It’ll be interesting to see when this doctor recommends, though in any case I just hope it starts working faaaaast.

I had a fairly decent 55 minute meditation this morning, mostly got lost in random wandering thoughts but had a few nice moments of stillness. The 55 minute sits are definitely my edge right now, my body starts freaking out after a half hour or so and just wants to jump up and to check email or something. feels good though, slowly training myself to actually appreciate having nothing to do but ‘be’.

On a sadder note I saw Spiderman 3 this weekend and was severely disappointed. Sam Raimi is like Google in that because I hold such high expectations of them/him, anything less than the very best is an extreme let down. So was the case with SP3, which was barely cohesive and by far the worst in the trilogy. I’d at least like to believe it was because of some producer interference but that might just be a pipe dream.

Oscars are this sunday

Why I still let myself get excited by this overlong, boring, predictable hollywood affair, I do not know.

But, alas, I do, and its fun to get semi excited about something. This year’s best picture nominees are actually fairly diverse for once and pretty damn interesting. And although the delight of watching Jon Stewart host won’t be there this year, I’ll sludge through it with a few glasses of wine.

seeing The Secret. Wow, more or less the most partial theory of anything I’ve ever seen. Do it if it feels good, think about whatever you want and you’ll get it.

I Did It

Posted in Uncategorized at 8:18 pm with tags: movies • theater • unemployed

Well it took three days, starting Thursday and finishing Saturday morning, but I finally watched the complete Extended Edition of LOTR on my big ass theater. And boy howdy was it worth it. Still looking for a job, nailed a phone interview for customer service last week. Not what I wanting be doing but I certainly need the money.
