"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It looked like the same kind of quick cutting that makes Matt Damon look like an expert fighter.

I have to say Damon moves pretty well in the first Bourne movie. The choreography sells it more than the editing.

But if you're saying a smaller figure is dominated in a single image then I would argue that it really depends on the composition of the shot and how well the actor/model sells it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Could be either. The guy their going with does MMA, but he's also former Special Forces for the IDF. So I don't know.

Well at least I don't feel like such a dolt for being confused. I'll tivo it.

As for coming to class, I'd like to try it again, and my stretch teacher is off in Prague for two months shooting a movie. So my dance card is open.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I didn't think the commercial was good, honestly. It looked like the same kind of quick cutting that makes Matt Damon look like an expert fighter.

That's a damned shame. The woman's a newly minted brown belt and very talented--crisp and athletic. The guy's a third degree black belt, and he's just magical--he's the blue mohawked guy of a few posts more behind.

I still think that if the core message is "look how effective this is" they should use more realistically sized people, even maybe small. For "look how cool this is" then maybe the big guys. I think they're crossing ther messages too often.

Huh. Very simple, almost obvious idea for water conservation.
Oh! My friend Kelly just got that. She did all these renovations that made the 1/2 bath on the first floor smaller, so it was ideal for space conservation as well. I haven't tried it out yet but it should be hooked up next time I'm there.

Also, I watched 4 hours of Miss America Reality Check and now that the finale is on, I could watch it. But after all of this, "remake the pageant" bullshit, they winner is someone who looks JUST LIKE last year's winner.

I found the most surprising thing about this year's competition to be that Trace Ayala was a judge. What was the criteria for picking judges thiss year?

Actually, that was second most surprising thing. The first was that I freaking watched for the first time since I was 10. Damn you, TLC, and your reality crack!

Huh. I have no idea who Trace Ayala and google didn't even help me clarify. I'm still mad that one of the people who was spotlit on Reality Check didn't even come close to winning. IRKS ME.

I think someone could make a fortune with a breakfast delivery company. Espacially on weekend. Because I would pay big bucks for someone to bring me bacon and eggs right now. It's -16 C, and I really don't want to go outside.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

It's snowing pretty snow outside, yet still I don't want to go out. And that there were more attractive breakfast places than Dunkin Donuts to walk to, if I did.

OTOH, I had two leftover cupcakes (small) for breakfast. Probably need to eat something more substantial than that, but for now, 'tis good.

Now tagless for your comfort.

We have bacon and eggs. I should make them. It's 16 degrees out but that's supposed to get better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm still mad that one of the people who was spotlit on Reality Check didn't even come close to winning. IRKS ME.

Me too. I was like, "What? We don't even know her!" And I'm surprised they had two blondes in a row. Also I was disappointed at how much makeup and hairspray the girls had on! I guess the reality show was just a whole separate thing.
