Not that I've been posting a lot lately, but TGW will be going on a scheduled hiatus next week. I'm going to try to do a lot of brainstorming so, when we come back, we'll be better than ever. Until then, don't go crazy and hole yourself up in a metal building or something. We'll be back before you know it. (Hopefully with a way to work around the YouTube block at work ;) )
JDorama review: Liar Game 2
This season picks up awhile after the first season ended. Even though there are new players and new challenges, the outcomes are still the same. Since the advertise the Final Stage movie in the very beginning of the show, we already know that Akiyama and Kanzaki will advance to the next rounds. Luckily, the different challenges keep the show entertaining. I wonder what the movie will be like.
An early Happy Independence Day
Thankfully, this is a long weekend. Instead of spending all my time surfing around http://www.sensareviews.net, my family is going on a road rally today. What is a road rally, you ask?
Well, it's a lot like a scavenger hunt via car. The organizer gives you a list of clues that gives you the route you have to follow. It is your job (mostly the job of the passengers) to figure out the clues to give the driver the proper directions. Whoever gets to the end with the best time (it's a timed event with a staggered start) wins. I think this particular one gives prizes for most clues successfully answered. See, you can "win" the route without actually following the real route. They are tons of fun. If you can find one near you, go for it. It's a run way to spend the day with your friends/family.
My own studio....
It's possible. I've been looking into opening my own fitness/dance studio. Of course, the biggest obstacle right now is money. I'm confident that I can figure that part out though. Meanwhile, I'm pricing things like BestLaminate.net pergo laminate flooring or a floating floor. I'm not really sure which is best. I'm just looking at prices right now anyway. There is a building that I like a lot...I'm just not sure I can afford it. Darn you, money!
An update
I have almost finished watching the second season of Liar's Game. There is about three episodes left so I should have them finished for next week. After that, there is the final movie for the series. I'm kind of excited to see where this goes. It's been awhile since I've enjoyed a series so much. (It doesn't hurt that Matsuda Shota is pretty to look at.) But today? Today I will be researching laser barcode scanners to use in my Zumba classes. I think it might make it a lot easier to track classes. If it's not too expensive, at least. Research away!
Boots in unwinter?
My sister complained about this last year so I will ask all of you this year. Are womens boots a fashion faux pas in the summer? I found a really cute pair of ankle boots at the end of winter last year and my sister insisted that I could not wear them after winter. They weren't big furry Uggs or anything like that. They were cute little ankle boots. I think they would have looked just fine with a pair of shorts. What do you think?
New jobs can be scary
I'm kinda nervous. Recently, I applied for a job as a Zumba/dance teacher. It's totally something I could do so why am I nervous? Because I don't really have a lot of paper credentials to back up my experience. I have been dancing almost my entire life but I only have a handful of years of formal training. Most of my training has been in the theatre. As for Zumba, I got licensed in February to teach and I didn't start teaching until April. So that's only three months of teaching experience. However, I really want to leave my day job. One always hears about those soul-killing jobs. Yeah, that is what mine feels like. But I have to bring the money in to feed my daughter. So, yeah, I'm nervous. I just hope that the job I applied for isn't some scam housed in big metal buildings with big scary men. I want a good job that will pay me decently. Is that too much to ask for?
Danny Bonaduce, Life Coach
During my morning commute, I listen to a bit of the Danny Bonaduce Show on 94 WYSP. In my opinion, the best part of the show is called Life Coach. Listeners call in with their problems and Danny gives them advice on what to do. Usually the calls are along the lines of "My girlfriend is cheating on me but I can't pay the rent without her. What should I do?" Though I have to admit that I love the calls like "I took steroids years ago. What is testosterone supplement I should use?" And, amazingly, Danny gives them pretty good advice. I guess all those years of being messed up actually taught him something. If you can get the station (or stream it), Life Coach is usually on around 7:20AM. You should give it a try.
Favorite Friday
Today is another webinar day at work. I'm tired of them. However, I snagged today's Favorite Friday before the 'no streaming' rule went into effect. It is the trailer for the new Muppet movie. Everyone in my house is anxiously awaiting it's arrival. It looks awesome. (Though I doubt they will reference the awesome sketches from The Muppet Show...like Miss Piggy wearing discount medical uniforms in Veterinarian's Hospital with Rowlf and Janice.) Yay Muppets!
Steel can be hot.
Sometimes you just have to laugh. I found a website for a company that sells steel buildings. Usually these types of things are used for storage of large equipment. Cars, planes, boats, etc. Scrolling through the pictures of things the company believes their structures could be used for, I came across pictures of classrooms and workshops where there's an adult teaching quite a few kids. Why did it make me laugh? Mostly because I can't imagine that heating or air conditioning would work very well in a steel building. So it would be freezing cold in the winter and unbearably hot in the summer. These types of buildings are used for storage because equipment can usually handle temperatures that the human body cannot.
Then again, maybe there some trick to these buildings that I don't know about.
