grocery trek, Anita Blake books, movies

As part of my 'get more fit' regime, I decided to walk to Safeway today. It's a little more than half a mile, but I haven't had much exercise lately so I figured I would give myself a generous amount of time to get there and back. Of course, while I was there, I decided that I had to purchase salmon, salad, and pears for dinner (only, the salmon was 3 lbs, the pears were canned (2), and I had two get two bags of salad because it was buy 1, get 1 free), so it was not much fun getting it all back. Of course, in my DC days it was far, far worse, so I'm not actually complaining. The whole excursion only took 36 min, though, so I'll need to walk farther as I'd like to actually be walking for about 45 min. The hope is that I'll start doing this in the mornings. Last night I did 100 crunches. I had to take little breathers in between, when I used to be able to do them straight through. :((

I have purchased the Anita Blake books off eBay. Other than BtVS, AtS, Dracula, a couple of Anne Rice things, and a teen series called 'The Vampire Diaries,' I haven't really gotten into vampire stuff. I think it's that I get used to a certain universe/lore, and it's hard for me to get out of it and into something else. But I've heard really good things about these books, and I feel like I'm in a good place to try them out, so we'll see...

Saw a couple of movies -- ( 'High Fidelity' and 'The Princess and the Warrior'... )
