It’s warmed up a bit here in New York the last couple of days, and there’s a whole lot of meltin’ going on. Even though they say the groundhog didn’t see his shadow, this display at a local florist gave me a some hope for an early spring.
This winter has been really hard on me health-wise. I’ve actually had to take time off to just rest. And I have to tell you I’m absolutely no good at it. No I’m being very serious here. It’s like required as opposed to pleasure reading.
If I take a day for myself I like to take a long phootstroll, windowshop and just be out there. But it’s been so cold, and it’s a damp cold that’s giving my bronchials hell. Not being able to do any long distance walking is really getting to me. Okay, enough whining.
I did get to see a couple of good movies over the weekend. Thank goodness for Movies on Demand. The following is from Ms Moblog - one of my other places on the ‘net.
This afternoon I watched ‘The Social Network.’ Amazing what went into the social app so many of us simply can’t live without. My old friend’s niece convinced me to join, and I have to admit I love the ding dang thing.
Last night I watched ‘Let Me in,’ the American remake of the Swedish film ‘Let the Right One In’. LTROI has top spots of honor on my favorite foreign, vampire, horror, and teen film lists. The American version is well-done and I recommend it, but I highly suggest you see both. The Swedish version is truly dark. I’m not one for spoilers, but I will say this is one storyline that has you cheering for the vampire in the end. Oh and the Morse Code in the US version is a nice touch.
The next topic is self-improvement. My family will tell you: Don’t let Mom near the as seen on TV aisle.
My latest acquisition: The Shake Weight
Okay, I hear the giggling – cut it out will you. This little item could work a miracle on these upper hams arms of mine. Now if you really want a laugh head over to You Tube, and watch some of the Shake Weight parodies.
Til we meet again
