The Syfy Guys!

Okay, Friday was officially a great day! Our Voice & Speech quiz got cut in half which made it sooo much easier and we didn't have to do four sets of alphabet planks! My abs and my brain were very happy! Also, after a very difficult week, I had a breakthrough in Mr. Solin's acting class. It's hard to hear that you've have really bad acting habits and that you're too theatrical over and over again, but I know he just wants to help us be more believable. Who knew it was so hard to be real? Anyways, today I finally got out of my head and was able to do what he asked in our scene. Yay!

Friday is a short day for classes, so afterwords Blake and I went out to lunch in downtown Burbank. We ate at this place called the Elephant Room which was pretty cool. Amazing garlic bread and really good margaritas! While we were eating, a group of guys sat in the booth behind us. I wasn't really paying attention to them, but I happened to catch the word SyFy. Naturally, I perked up my ears and decided to practice my... listening skills. Some might call it eavesdropping, but it's not my fault they were talking really loudly. Anyways, being a SyFy junkie, I got really excited when they started talking about things like Mega Snake and other classics. I almost lost it when they mentioned "Casper Van Dien" and "project" in the same sentence. Is it shameful for me to hope it's yet another Starship Troopers or Shark Attack? They guys seemed to be involved with scheduling and marketing for the network because they kept talking about foreign markets and the graphic quality of certain films. I swear I heard something about a bear eating a woman or a snake eating a bear? I'm not sure, but I'd watch it. Blake just laughed at me and I'm sure he thinks I'm an idiot, but to each his own!

After we ate, we decided to go see the new movie Sanctum. We walked around for a little bit and looked in some of the stores to kill time before the movie. Blake bought a pair of boots from this cool shoe store and I was really tempted by a pair of $2oo boots, but I managed to restrain myself. We got the tickets for the movie, and let me just say that I visibly shuddered when I had to pay $18 for a movie. Granted, it was on IMAX 3D and it is California, but still! I thought it was a pretty good movie and it definitely had me biting my nails. There were some moments that were almost too much for even me to handle, and I've seen every Saw movie! It was like The Cave minus the supernatural elements. Nothing special 3D wise, but still an enjoyable movie with some really pretty shots.

At the end of the day we came home, I read a book, watched some Murder, She Wrote and went to bed early. All and All a pretty awesome day! Saturday, not so much. Blake was pretty sick all day and had to go to the ER, but he's doing much better now. He ended up sleeping most of the day while I had a mini Greek marathon. Today, he's up and about and I'm watching the Super Bowl trying to be unbiased since both my teams are playing. I have to admit though, I'm like 45% Greenbay and 55% Steelers and a little worried right now. Gotta say though, there's nothing better on a Sunday night than watching a good game of football with a cold beer, a pizza, and some hot wings! If only I didn't have to do homework...






Best of luck to my boys Big Ben Roethlisberger...












...and Georgia boy Hines Ward!
