Good Weekend

I had an awesome weekend. Firstly, and most insignificantly, I saw Iron Man 2 last night. That makes 4 out of the last 5 films I've seen in theaters (not counting the dollar theater, or IMAX films) sequels--Iron Man 2, X2, Star Wars Episode II, and Matrix Reloaded, with the non-sequel being Timeline. As you may have guessed, I don't go to theaters much. After the movie, I stopped in at Target to refill my phone--and waste some time since the bus wouldn't be coming for an hour, since it was the last Blue North of the night--and I saw that I could get all three Matrix films (plus the Animatrix) for $10. Who could pass up on that, unless you already had the films? Not me.

Secondly, and still only mildly important, I've reached my weight goal. That's right, when I stepped on the scale on Saturday, I saw 199. However, with my height I'm still obese according to BMI guidelines (yes, I know BMI is very hard to go by...I've sent an angry email after reading about a study saying that most High School football players are obese that only used BMI). I'm still about 45 pounds away from a "healthy" weight by their guidelines. Now, just because I've reached MY first goal does not mean I'm going to try to stay at this weight. I intend to keep going and see how low I can go. And with 91 pounds lost already, who knows how far this will continue?

Anyway, most importantly, I got a job. Okay, it was only for a day, but it was $11 an hour to stand around, tell kids when they could/could not get on the inflatable structures, and have parents make me feel like the biggest jerk in the world when I wouldn't let their precious little one break the rules. Oh, and getting a mild sunburn on my face and neck, which seems to have already healed (told you my body heals fast). That's one of the two downsides to that job--the other was I hurt my shoulder a little while celebrating.

Anyway, I've already watched 2 of the three Matrix films since getting home after Iron Man, and I intend to watch the third, and maybe even see if the Animatrix is as bad as people make it out to be.
