Comment on Firefly by Ren

Welcome to the Firefly fan club. We’ve been waiting for you.
We discovered Firefly thanks to Andrew’s penchant for watching every new show that airs on TV to see if he likes it…and our downstairs neighbour back in 2004…When the movie came out, she bought us the DVD set so that we would know and love the whole story.
We watch it. All the time. Especially when we see Adam and Nathan (and especially our fav: Alan) in their current TV shows. Just not the same as our Jayne and Malcolm and Wash…

Too late now, but I spend alone time with either needlework or a book. I have two wedding presents to stitch, so it’s a good thing I’m unemployed and the dog is very low-maintenance.

I still haven’t seen Firefly. But I’m kind of afraid to start, because my own laundry situation is already dire without it.

i found the Firefly series while i was in my 1st trimester and spent most evenings wallowing on the couch in a haze of nausea. i watched it all pretty quickly and though i’d never speak it out loud, my internal voice spoke with a western accent. i haven’t watched the movie yet (Serenity I think?) and when i think about it i feel a little nauseous… i sure wish the series had continued!

Maybe not up your alley but I really really enjoyed belly dancing because it’s something that helps with your coordination, balance, and flexibility. It’s also *FUN* which was one of my main requirements for taking any kind of active class. Generally classes are taught in different levels so you can work your way up in difficulty. It also teaches you to do amazing things with your arms independent from the rest of your body. I really enjoyed learning to isolate different muscle groups and then move them in ways that most other things don’t allow you to. Plus? Pretty.

As for the regular exercise thing, I used to coach “Masters”, a 2-3 x week group for new and returning swimmers up at SFU, back when I went to school there.

If you are serious about improving your swimmming skills, I highly recommend this so have a look around at the pools either by your workplace or where you live (convenience). UBC or the Vancouver Aquatic Centre should offer them and talk to the coaches that run them. At SFU we had a lane for newbies, and a lane for triathletes, so the workouts were tailored to ability. Good coaches should be giving you at least one tip/thing to work on.

Good luck!

I’m excited about getting back into cooking this year too and the cookbook blog is good motivation.

As for exercise, I’ve loved the spinning classes I’ve taken and used to go regularly when I had a gym membership – if you find a good one, let me know! Running clinics are good too… you don’t necessarily have to train for an event, although that helps. I think most groups meet twice a week and then have a longer run on the weekends. I never used to like running with other people, but in the last few years it’s what I prefer.

Thanks for sharing!

Comment on Christmas Lexicon: A rant of sorts by gillian

The getting the 12 days of Xmas starting point wrong has nagged at me a bit too, but on the list of what bugs me about advertisers it’s kind of low, what with all the grammatical mistakes and them generally being knobs. Despite knowing for a long time about “Little Christmas” in January I’ve always been too burned out from the holiday season to bother with it. Plus Mom never got me anything for it, since I got pretty much all my toys for the year in December (what with the birthday that month too).
I may celebrate the Bob and Doug McKenzie version, however… a beeeeeeeer in a tree.

We’re getting into the stretch now where media and retailers start their “12-days of XXX” promotions, as a countdown to Christmas. And it drives me batty, every year.
