15 Minute Warm Up
Filed Under Fitness | 2 Comments
This is Zuzana’s 15 minute warm up routine which I did today before the 20 minute Tabata interval training cardio workout. I was going to do one of the latest abs workouts after the cardio but I was too exhausted to do it. I’ll have to do the abs workout tomorrow.
My legs now feel like [...]

Friday is my day off which usually means movie day. F and I will normally see 2 movies in one day but today we just couldn’t agree on anything to see.
I wanted to see In The Air with George Clooney but F flat out refused to watch it because ‘all George Clooney movies are [...]

Crappy TV Shows
Filed Under General | Leave a Comment
If anyone is a bit partial to crappy American TV shows, as I am, then you might be interested to know that season 7 of Project Runway started 3 weeks ago.
The new season of The Amazing Race will be starting on February 14 and ANTM on March 3.
I would fail at procrastinating if it [...]

Manly
Filed Under Work | Leave a Comment
I’ve been wanting to buy a property in Sydney for quite some time and while I was in Australia last July, I organised the finance and started looking for properties. I was looking in Manly, mainly because I think it’s a great location with its popular beach, loads of cafes, and easy ferry access into [...]

Complices
Filed Under Movies | Leave a Comment
I almost didn’t watch this movie because I’m not much of a fan of police movies but in the end I’m glad I did.
Complices starts with the death of Vince, a young guy from a poor family who was making a living in a high risk profession. We follow his story in flashback, as [...]

La Merditude des Choses or The Shittiness of Things as it was called in the US.
I had thought this movie was going to be funny but it wasn’t. It was kinda sad and pathetic and quite gross at times too.
The story follows a young Belgian (Flemish) boy growing up in a small town, [...]

Greece

I think I’m going to move to Greece.
I don’t know why, but I can’t stand that movie, especially with a Mexican playing a Greek, but at least it has the best Greek song of all time.
Here is a better version of the song but without the images:

10 Year Anniversary
Filed Under General | 9 Comments
Today is the 10 year anniversary of when F and I first met. I never imagined that on a weekend trip to London I would meet an Albanian refugee and have un coup de foudre! Stranger things have happened I suppose.
We celebrated today by enjoying Pierre Marcolini chocolates
I also can’t believe that [...]

Just Another Love Story
Filed Under Movies | 3 Comments
The Danes make great movies. Most of the Danish films I’ve seen are either police movies or thrillers which they seem to excel at. I’m not a huge fan of this genre but I really liked Just Another Love Story.
Basically you have a 40 something guy, married with 2 kids, who is bored with [...]

Tabata
Filed Under Fitness | 5 Comments
While I’m still going to the gym every now and then, I’ve also started working out from home. I’m trying to focus on doing HIIT (high intensity interval training) which also includes Tabata. Tabata is a 4 minute super high intensity workout which is supposed to be better than 45 minutes of jogging on a [...]
