fat man does the wii fit

Ok so I finally got my hands on a Wii Fit today and tried it out. I did break a sweat…and muscles that I havent used in a while hurt……but then again I am a fat man! So in keeping with the deal made withe the n00b I will be keeping the “masses” up to date with my 89 dollar weight loss experiment!! lol So today I did all the basic Yoga, Str. Training, and Aerobic Training for a 30 min work out….add that to my 2 mile walk(yes walk…last run caused my left knee to revolt and sweel to watermelon size for 2 days) and my nice 1900cal diet and i should be back on track soon!!

As promised

Wow wow wow what a week!!! As I mentioned earlier CineVegas went down last week and i was out and about so much it was hard to find time to sit down and do anything! But now that it has sadly come to an end I can do a recap of the week and let ya in on some really cool films to look for. So the 1st night I got to see the screening of The Rocker. Very good movie!! Pelnty of long laughs and cast is awesome! That night I got to meet Dennis Hopper, Emma Stone and Fred Armisen!! NO pics at this point because they took my phone and cam(the people later in line kept there though..sigh). So from that night on it was NON Stop movies and parties!! and when i say non stop…im talking every after party…seeing the sunrise WAY to much….and I have many party pics…and my Flickr em up soon..but let me get to the movies 1st

Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson: WOW!! This was a great screening. If you know nothing about Hunter this would be a good start (or Breakfast with Hunter) and if you are like me this will add to what you know about this amazing man!!! Some good insights into his final days and the planning of the gonzo fist statue in Co. This movie is already getting a wide release…so if it gets to you see it!! I promise you wont be let down!!

Choke: Great movie!! I loved the book already and pretty much everything Chuck Palahniuk has done. Again a perfectly cast movie(Sam Rockwell and the amazing Anjelica Huston ) an overall great movie. If you havent read the book the gist of the story is Victor pays the bills by choking at restruants and the preying on the sympathies of the folks that “rescue” him. But of course he is also a sex addict and you get to see that he has had sex with everyone in the hospital where his mom is. This is another movie that everyone will get a chance to see so go…it is definatly worth that ticket price!!

Go-Go TalesSuper super movie!! Story about a strip club owner(Willem Dafoe) and how to save this crazy club. For me….this was an ok film. The cast was pretty good and Dafoe was killer, but the whole thing could have been alittle better……I feel they same way I fell about the past few M.Night movies…super great idea….just poorly done in the end.

OK

So I really will but a good post here…prolly sunday. I have been busy with the awesomeness that is CineVegas!!! Going to some awesome movies( VISIONEERS!!!!!!!!!!! it really does rock) and getting to meet and actually talk with some awesome and yes some very famous folks. Check the Flickr for a few pics i have up now and more to follow from today and tommorow!!!
