The Muppets

I went to see The Muppets in the theatre this weekend. I usually don't go opening weekends, but I was going to see a show anyway and it was the one I most wanted to see. I had high expectations going into it, and I'm so happy to say that it did not disappoint me in any way. I was so very funny and did the Muppets characters great justice.

While this movie is definitely family friendly (as evidenced by the G rating), adults will get as much (maybe more) enjoyment out of this movie. In fact, when I went on Saturday night, I didn't actually see any kids in the audience. To be fair, it was the late show (9:40pm), so they could have been in the earlier showing.

Do yourself a favour and see this movie. Compared to anything else out there, this one deserves your money. Definately the best movie I've seen in 2011. Although, to be honest, I don't always remember every movie I've seen. I should go back and make a list.

Millennium Force = Barometre of Success

I went to Cedar Point on the last weekend of October this year. It was also the last weekend it was open. They had their Halloweekend thing going on, which I had never been to. I had a great time going with a friend of mine, and enjoyed the haunted houses and walkthroughs they had set up along with, of course, the rides. However, it wasn't all super good. I didn't ride 2 of my favourite coasters, the Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster, as it seems I've on the high side of my perpetual yo-yo diet that I seem to have been on for the past, I don't know... 5 years? This even after I went (and rode on everything) back in June of this year. This is a pretty depressing feeling for me, and my second biggest motivator to losing weight. But even a whole month and a half of a heads up for this trip couldn't get me to smarten up and eat right.

I'm at a loss right now of how to get back on the weight loss train in a significant way. I've done it twice before (with less than permanent results, obviously) and maybe the third time will be the charm, as they say. However, it seems I can't bring myself to do this right now for some reason.

Just a bit of a whiny post. Don't mind me.
