My Lazy Ass...

As you can see, by the fact that it's been nearly a month since I bothered to make a post...I've been a 30-year old lazy ass. :)

I am, however, in recovery. I joined a gym. Wha??? Yeah, after handing over a major chunk of paycheck (no more collectibles for a while :( ), I am a card-carrying 3-year member of . No, I'm not telling you which one so you can come to point and laugh. I've been going to personal training sessions and I do pilates and yoga every week. I must admit, I do feel somewhat less like a lazy ass, though many, many of my body parts are unhappy about this turn of events. The best part was when my brother's friend (he used to work there, so we decided to hook his friend up with a commission) was entering my info in the computer, looked at the DOB on my CADL and said, "Oh, you've just had a birthday." Waits a few beats and then goes, "Wow, a big one!" Yeah, thanks dude. No need to remind me. At least I still get carded at bars. Though no longer young, I can still look the part...

My brothers and I had some time on our hands today, so we went to see "Shoot 'Em Up," the new Clive Owen movie. I am not typically a Clive Owen fan, but we were thoroughly entertained. I'd been wanting to see it since the panel at Comic Con, where they previewed at least 2 of the major action sequences. It's an over-the-top wink-wink clever action flick, that has very little downtime and a very little running time (1 hr 20 min). Owen's character, Mr. Smith, is Bugs Bunny to Paul Giamatti's Elmer Fudd. Hilarious. Ooh, and a bit cringe-worthy. I'm a pretty jaded movie-goer and even I had to burrow a few times. I really didn't care too much about the characters' backstories, which were blatantly obvious. They really didn't need to explain any of that! :P I'm surprised that it didn't do better than 4th place in its opening weekend against 3:10 to Yuma (I like Russell Crowe far less than Clive Owen, so good luck catching me watching any of his movies!). I don't think it was marketed very well to the target audience, which I'm assuming is males 17-35. Then again, the R rating and post-summer release isn't helpful either.

Oh whatever. I'm going to bed. My lazy ass won't be up again until this afternoon, in case you want to join me for drinks (don't tell my trainer!) tonight! :D
