A boring day

I don't have a whole lot to talk about today. I will be finishing my latest jdorama tonight so expect a review either tomorrow or Thursday. Portal 2 came out today. My husband was playing it a bit this morning but I had to go to work. (I leave the house about 30 minutes before he does.) I wish I had more to talk about!

Zumba

As I said last week, I would let you guys know how my Zumba class is going. It is going very well so far. (Granted, there have only been 2 classes....) There were 17 people there the first night and 14 the second. That is very good. I have been very nervous, which resulted in me forgetting just about every routine I had on Thursday night. But everyone had fun and got a good workout so it wasn't a big deal. I'm going to be preparing some promotions that will be going out in the next week or so. Hopefully that will drive my numbers up even more. We're in the gym/basketball court, meaning there is tons of space for more people to join us. It is a lot of work but I am enjoying it.

And don't think that I've forgotten my other TGW duties. I am three episodes away from finishing my next jdorama. You'll have a new review by Monday, at the latest!

Zumba Tonight!

I begin teaching Zumba tonight. If you happen to live in the Reading, PA area, class starts at 6:30PM at the Birdsboro Community Memorial Center. The drop-in rate is $7.00 per class or there is a 10-class punch card for $50.00. I'm nervous but excited at the same time!

Movie review: Hop

Since I didn't really want to sit through Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Roderick Rules, I elected to take my daughter to see Hop. I'm glad I did. While the critics have mostly panned the movie, I found it to be funny and enjoyable. Is it the best kid movie ever? No. But it's a lot better than sitting through another Barbie animated movie.

Russell Brand lends his voice to E.B., the son of the Easter Bunny. Unfortunately for his dad, E.B. doesn't want to be the new Easter Bunny. He wants to play the drums in a band. When it comes time to hand down the title, the young bunny runs away to Hollywood. He winds up meeting Fred, a (human) son that also wants more than what his father has planned. The two dodge an elite force of ninja bunnies as they try to find their place in the world.

To be honest, I really like Russell Brand. I was very surprised to hear that he was going to be in a family-friendly film. (Maybe Katy really has mellowed him.) Amazingly, I even liked him toned down. James Marsden, though, takes a little bit of getting used to. It's OK for a cartoon rabbit to mug for the camera. It's not so cute when it's a grown man. I didn't let him get in the way of enjoying the movie though.

I suppose this is a movie that completely depends on your mindset going in. If you are going to to see a funny animated movie, you'll probably like it. If you're going in looking for the best of everything, you won't find that here. It's just a cute feel-good movie.

Favorite Friday

Wow. It's Friday already. Well, it's snowing here, which sucks. (And no, that's not an April Fool joke.) For today's video, I'm giving you "E.T." by Katy Perry featuring Kanye West. We've been playing around with it in my dance class for the past couple of weeks. I think the plan is to use it for our recital song next year.

A New Look

Since winter is over and spring has supposedly sprung (though you'd never know it around here!), I am giving the site a new look. I kinda like this one but I'm not sure I love it. Of course, this means there may be a few different looks before I settle on one. Feel free to give me your opinions on this theme. If you think you've found a better one, put the link in a comment. I'll be sure to check it out!
