Disturbing

One of the most active videos right now on YouTube (as per their home page)? Something entitled Chloroformed in a Bikini.

Come *on*, people.

Only time I was ever entertained by anyone being chloroformed was in reading the Hardy Boys novels. Seems like that was *always* happening to them. (I never read Nancy Drew - did she get a lot of that too?)

I'm going to hope that at LEAST she consented, but I'm not clicking on the video to read the comments and try to find out. Nor am I providing a link.

Instead, I shall watch Mehboob Mere again.

Another of those unexpected things.

The last thing I anticipated, after skipping Friday's cardio (we were on a car tour - last time we had one, I just did Friday's cardio on Thursday, along with the usual weight training) and not tracking calories on the tour (I did the last time), though I did try to eat sensibly, was to weigh myself today and see that I had lost weight over the past week (about 2 lbs).

Maybe it's finally kicking in?

Baby lions - webcam!

Those of you who go to Cute Overload have no doubt already seen this, but for any of you who don't - take a look! Live webcam, three lion cubs and their mother. Somewhere in Norway, maybe?

One of those unexpected discoveries

I've been using SparkPeople for almost a month and a half now to track eating and exercise. I'm glad I have - haven't seen huge payoffs yet, but I'm happy with slow progress in just making better choices, without feeling like I *can't* eat this or that, or overdoing exercise in a way that I'd never be able to keep up long-term.

At any rate, part of the program, if you will, is tracking calories (and fat, protein, etc.). Most of the time, you'll find what you're eating already in their database, but if not, you can enter it as well. This leads to some interesting discoveries sometimes.

In this case, I was having my first cup of coffee today, and used my non-fat powdered "cream"er. To get enough to lighten the coffee to my taste, I used 2 tbsp. -- 60 Calories (and a packet of artificial sweetener). In getting a second cup, I instead used 1/4 cup of whole milk and 1 tsp of real sugar. 52.5 Calories total, 2 g. of fat, and none of the sweetener aftertaste. I'd rather go ahead and take the 2 g of fat.

I've seen articles that warn of folks' reliance on non-fat/low-fat, and ignorance of the Calories they're consuming. I just didn't think it'd actually also show up in my coffee. Lesson learned.

Funny and cute!

Patrick and Calla now give each other hugs and a kiss when they're watching Barney and the "I love you" song comes on. Hee!

Impressive.

Gorgeous shot

Another website I enjoy checking on from time to time is Improv Everywhere. Their latest mission was to have folks lining the sidewalk on the Brooklyn Bridge, all taking pictures and creating a kind of wave down the bridge with the camera flashes. They have some pictures of the bridge from this mission, one of which (a longer exposure shot) they've artsified by making it B&W with the camera flashes in blue.

It is stunning. It is also now my computer wallpaper. Do go look at the site (this particular mission is featured here.

I won I won I won!

I pretty regularly read over at Badmovies.org, and recently signed up to be notified of updates. Those did so during the month of May were entered into a drawing for a DVD (as chosen by the site owner, Andrew). FYI, he has a different contest for June.

I won May's contest! And so, after confirming my mailing address with him, I received in the mail - BMX Bandits.

Hee! Yay! It made me grin. Haven't watched the movie yet (just received it this week) - perhaps this weekend.
