Barbeque, Gym, Movies

No running for me since Saturday's failed attempt. I'm just not that enthused about getting up before dawn and running in the still heat and humidity. Sigh. But I have to get back on the ball this week. Instead, since Saturday, I've been a gym rat, spending 1.5-2 hours a day there.

Movie review!! I saw "The Devil Wears Prada" Friday. The book was much better. Hollywood softened the evilness of Miranda, probably so as to still have favor with the Vogue editor (since it's loosely based on her), but it took away a lot. The ending is different, some of the characters are different. In fact, I'd say that the movie is loosely based on the book.

Last night my family had our traditional 4th of July barbeque, but on the 2nd because my police officer brother-in-law was supposed to work on the 4th, only to find out last night he is actually off on the 4th. But we had the huge Texan-style barbeque (mesquite) and we had enough food to feed 20, but there were only 7 of us. It was actually a very pleasant evening with very pleasant company. And it gave me a great excuse to declutter my bedroom (since my office is finished). Now, both of those rooms look wonderful and I can finally strike those off of my summer "to-do" list. Now if I only have the inspiration to work on my screenplays.

Nothing major today. Kenyan Nights tonight.

Cheers!
