Better Days

Finally, a semi-normal day for me. Ahh...it is pleasant. I am beginning to see more clearly. I hate the fogginess. I really do. I hate the sad, low, blue, negative, stressed, depressed, ugly, nastiness of being in that "bad place". Another sigh of much needed relief.

However, I have a new kind of pain. The good kind. The kind in your muscles from a good workout. I started my new exercise class on Friday with my mom. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It's a good stress reliever. " Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands, they just don't." (Elle Woods, Legally Blonde) Sorry I really couldn't help it, it was such a good movie quote moment. :) I guess it's easier to be more positive when you can see that something ANYTHING is happening. You are making an effort towards your goal. So, needless to say, I can't wait to go back to our class on Monday for another dose of butt kicking! :)

Also good movies always help me out. Josh and I rented "Zack and Miri Make a Porno". Yes it is rated R. Yes it is about Porn. Yes it has EXCESSIVE language and nudity. But what you may not know is that it is written and directed by one of my favorites, Kevin Smith, who also wrote and directed "Clerks", "Dogma", "Mallrats", "Chasing Amy" and "Jersey Girl". This movie is what you would expect from Kevin Smith, which means it delivers smart "word" comedy, dirty "naughty" comedy, sweet moments in unexpected places, and a great cast. If you are willing to lower your standards and are prepared for ANYTHING, see this movie! Seriously, you won't regret it. Well...maybe a little, but you'll definitely enjoy it more than you ever thought you would enjoy a movie about making a porno. I know I did.
Larisa's "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" Rating: A+ for orignality, comedy genius, and a satisfying ending that only Kevin Smith can give me. (No dirty pun intended)

Feeling Better,
