I'm going to take some time today to try to find a good video for Favorite Friday. While I'm looking, I'm going to resist the urge to crawl under an electric blanket and nap. I'm not sure what is going on with the weather. Once again we went from an 80 degree day to a 40 degree day. And it's suppose to rain or thunderstorm all weekend. This sucks. Bring on the summer! Get rid of the cold!
JDorama review: Tomorrow
While I'm normally not an overly emotional person, I found myself brought to tears a few times during this show. The passion and dedication that Tanaka Aiko (Kanno) has for her job and her patients is awesome. I think it was that character that made me cry more than anyone.
I don't want to say too much about the show because, really, everyone should watch it. There is no romance so don't expect hearts in anyone's eyes. For those of you that are squeamish, there is a little bit of blood but nothing overly gorey. It's just good drama.
Delayed
Alas, I did not finish my jdorama yesterday. I got sidetracked by a few things and completely forgot about it. Instead, I will be watching it today. Sorry for the delay! One of the things that sidetracked me yesterday was brainstorming ideas for my Zumba class. I'd like to make the registration time more efficient. I wonder if using a bluetooth barcode scanner would help. People could buy a card with a barcode on it then we just scan it when they come. It would work a bit like a prepaid phone card. You put 10 classes on it and the software counts down how many classes you've used. I wonder how well that would work. It's definitely not something I'd do anytime soon due to the cost but it is something to keep in mind.
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!
Favorite Friday
I guess I'm a pre-teen girl now. Last week, I gave you a Selena Gomez video. (I'm taking my daughter to see her in concert this summer.) Today I'm going to give you Miranda Cosgrove. (We're going to her concert a week or two before Selena Gomez.) Yay!
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!
Favorite Friday
My week of Zumba went well. Once I can put some thoughts together (man, it makes me tired!), I'll talk about it some more. Until then, here is a video of Selena Gomez & The Scene performing an acoustic version of their new single "Who Says."
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
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.
