Another Ten Minutes

I decided to get an XBox 360.  The list of games that peaked my interest was growing, and the clincher was "Dance Central" with the Kinect sensor.  No controller necessary!  Just get off your duff and move!  It seemed like the perfect solution to being somewhat bored with walking in place and shadowboxing.

Well, it only took me three days and help from a couple of friends to get it on the screen.  I put in Dance Central, start in on an Easy-rated song... and lasted 19 minutes.  Little was I to know, that's a pretty good chunk of time for this game!  Sure, I was gasping, sweating, and a little bit dizzy at the end of that.

For the last two days, I've managed ten minutes.  That's about three or four repeats of whatever song I obsess on.  And at the end of that ten minutes, I'm panting and my ankle is twinging.  But I'm going to keep at this until I can hit that twenty-minute mark, because it really is making exercise fun!

My other obsession is this Doctor Who themed swap.  I must finish these socks!  (Yes, Karen, you guessed right!)  But they just don't excite me.  I'm pushing on because I imagine my spoilee's excitement at receiving them.  It's kind of fun seeing everyone else's posts about what they're working on, and their inspirations... like this...

...resulting in this quote from Killerlashes:  OMG STOP MAKING ME LICK MY SCREEN.  ITS BAD FOR THE IPAD

Hahahahaaa! Oh, I love it.  Especially since Mr. Tennant's Doctor is rather known for licking or tasting very odd things.  Like on today's episode, Tooth & Claw, he licked a library wall.  Okay, having too much fun talking about licking.

Well, back to my tiny needles and lovely yarn.  My thoughts and prayers with those affected by the earthquakes in New Zealand and Japan.
