Try the grey stuff, its delicious, dont believe me? ask the Dishes!!

They can sing, they can dance...after all this is france!

ok ok i'll stop.

So this holiday season Peter and I totally rocked the gift giving to eachother. I got him a PS3 with the Move thing, and he gave me a Sodastream (awesome), some lily pulitzer stuff, and a bluray of Beauty and the Beast (the title makes sense now doesnt it)

Last night over a glass of homemade bubbly orange flavored water we watched beauty and the beast. It turns out peter had never seen it before!!! Crazy! Do you remember the first time you saw it, and were AMAZED by the graphics in the ballroom scene at the end? I do. I'm pretty sure my jaw dropped at how realistic the chandelier and columns looked. We looked it up and it turns out Pixar made that. Of course pixar makes all things awesome. Anyway I'll probably be watching beauty and the beast over and over again for the next few weeks.

Tomorrow is moving day!!

You know what movie never gets old?

Tommy Boy! We watched that last night since it was on TV, and it was just as funny as usual. I think it helps everyone that watches with me that I can quote the entire movie, and do so just seconds before they deliver the line and then laugh hysterically when the line is just as funny as I remembered.

Awesome move.

Iphone

So i've had an iphone for about 3 years, I think i blogged about my efforts getting it way back when. Its been very good to me, and only recently started giving me problems. Problems such as not charging every time when plugged in (making it no longer a wireless phone), Freezing when opening apps and kicking me back out to the home screen, and taking a long time to do just about anything. I decided that while it was only a 3G I was going to try upgrading the OS to 4.2...thats where everything fell apart.

I plugged it in to sync and it froze up, I restarted the sync and miraculously it completed. Now time for the upgrade! I downloaded 4.2 which took maybe 2 hours, and then it was time to load it on the phone....Everything started out ok and while the progress bar was moving slowly it appeared to still be moving. I went to sleep assuming it would finish over night and when I woke up my phone would be good as new.

I couldn't have been more wrong.

I woke up to find an error message on my computer and my iphone totally dead minus a picture indicating that I plug the iphone into itunes (which it already was). I unplugged it and plugged it back in.....nothing. The phone was dead. I quickly made an apt at the apple store's genius bar to see if they had any tricks up their sleeves. They made a few attempts at restoring the system, but nothing worked. There was nothing to do but buy a new iphone 4. I cant say I was disappointed. I really wanted one, but I couldnt justify buying one while my other phone was working almost perfectly well. So this evening was a draw...my phone was dead but I got to walk away with a brand new phone and a few less bucks in my pocket.

Ligers!

Remember in 2004 when Napoleon Dynamite came out and Ligers were the cool thing? Well I watched a show on the natgeo station last night on Ligers and they are scary creatures! They are GIANT, and can kill anything. Its confusing why people would continue breading them. I feel like they are a bigger threat of taking over the world than Robots and Zombies combined!

See how much bigger this animal is than the tiger?


And then for refrence take a look at this animal compared to a human:


Watch out people! Dont say I didnt warn you!

Zumba!

I went to Zumba last night for my first time! Emily brought me to her gym as her guest, and it was awesome. At first I was a little nervous b/c the second the class started the teacher started in dancing without any instruction. It took me a little bit to get use to that kind of class where you just watch and follow with no verbal instruction, but it was a ton of fun! I cant wait to go again. I looked absolutely ridiculous b/c i was always a step behind, but thats ok....except for the samba part where the rest of the class would be facing the left and i'd be facing the right. oh well.

I was going to post this post earlier today, but I got a little sidetracked with a 7 hour visit to the GW er all day. Fun times. But the reason I mention it, is that there was some seriously awesome people watching there. The ER is actually way too small for such a big hospital so they literally lined people up in the halls, and while we were there sitting in a private room (luckily), I heard yelling in the halls and ran to watch. It was two patients that were placed next to eachother. They started brawling, and they had to call security and the police came running in. Unfortunately the police were effective and they split up the two and the fighting ended.

8 Cups a day???

So as you all know, we are supposed to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. A glass being 8 fluid ounces. Recently I have actually been trying to reach that goal and its MUCH harder than you'd expect. The biggest problem is that I dont like water, so instead of plain water i'm doing sparkling water or flat water with a flavor mixed in. I'm not sure if either of those count, but for the past 2 days I've made it to 8 glasses! Its been tough, but I powered through and made it. The other problem besides not liking water, is that there is no tap water at work I can drink. The sinks are all nasty and none of which have filters. Also, the fridge is so far. All i have are the warm bottles of deer park water that i brought in and have sitting by my desk :(
