Late yesterday afternoon James called and told me he'd won 4 tickets to see Brokeback Mountain at our nearest cinema. He had a choice of films but picked that one as he knew I wanted to see it Thing was I hadn't been to the cinema for years, the all too real fear I'd get my ass stuck in the seats keeping me away. So I was torn, on one hand a film I really wanted to see. On the other potential embarrassment and the local newspapers running a story with 'a vat of grease and four firemen needed to pull local girl from seat' as the headline. In the end I did go, because that weight loss has to equal inches somewhere and to my surprise I was quite comfortable. Not much wiggle room yet but that'll come. The film itself was so good. Though a couple did walk out at the first sex scene, and by doing so they missed an amazing movie. I cried, as I suspected I would. Then James, the SiL and I had a good chat about it on the way home and the SiL showed even though she can be a pain in the ass she can be really good company too. Oh, and another good thing. Supernatural was advertised before the movie. Dean and Sam are quite impressive on the big screen. Very impressive indeed.

Today, in an effort to balance the over indulgence of Christmas, we went for a walk along the coast path with Tex, hitting around four miles I think. It was such a lovely day, Corey was on his bike splashing through the mud and getting filthy and we ended up at a cafe sitting outside with a coffee and watching the ocean. Then it was back home to a plate of roasted veggies and turkey while watching John Barrowman, Andi Peters and Phillip Schofield on Dancing on Ice. Though sadly Phillip stayed on non slippery ground. However that's fine because John! And Andi! And Emma Forbes was there supporting them! I so hope Andi gets to stay in, because it's Andi Peters and he's not a teletubby at all! Also, John Barrowman with glasses. Leaping around on the ice. Be still my heart, though I fear my heart may have exploded when John and Andi held hands, OMG! Andi can't leave!

Vote Andi Peters!

So yeah, even though I really enjoyed the walk my legs are aching now. I fear I may never move again, which is fine as I'm in front of my computer and I can see the tv just fine. Though I only have a glass of cranberry juice at hand to eat and drink which could be a problem.

Go team you! That's amazing.
Those cinema seats can be as bad as the airplane seats sometimes.

I am gonna start my first try to lose the weight I packed on due to health problems last year next week and then we can be like diet buddie. Although you are, of course, way ahead of me. :)

Thank you!

I've never been on an airplane but if their seats are as bad as some cinema ones, ouch.

Being diet buddies is an excellent idea, and I may be ahead now but I'm sure you'll soon be getting rid of any extra weight too.

**bounces** I have so much to comment on and don't know where to start!

Firstly, yay you! Walking (which is more than I will ever do lol) and going to the cinema! Wasn't it good? Beautiful and shiny and just YES. I mean, tragic and all that but BEAUTIFUL! lol

Speaking of Supernatural, Sam asked if I was gonna watch it and I was like 'two hot slashy brothers and one of them's Jensen Ackles, you're kidding me right?' *g* That advert really is very lovely. And big too (it was before our showing of BBM, they obviously know their market ;o)

OMG! Andi and John and Philip and Emma! And they held hands and John was eating his crisps and had his hand on his knee and it was shiny and beautiful and I about exploded with squee and OMG!

Vote Andi Peters!

I did! Twice! *g*

I know!

I still have excitement!

Thank you! And yes, it was beautiful. I cried because I'm a sap and it was so tragic and they loved one another but it was doomed and just....yes.

They totally know their market for Supernatural. I mean, obviously they're on the same bill as the gay cowboys!

YAY! Andi! And Josh and Phillip and Emma!

I would've cried if I hadn't been with Charlie who started crying pretty much as soon as Heath did. Knowing how it ended didn't help, we were anticipating it lol

Dude, gay cowboys, cesty brothers, same diff! *G*

Dude, did you see the second aftershow? With Stefan wearing John's jacket and them being all flirty and stuff? OMG. I'm trying very hard to stick to my Andi/John heart but OMG! Stefan & John? so fucking lol

I was so scared that I'd end up being embarrassed but thankfully that didn't happen. It's the start of many good things I hope.

*hugs back*

They advertise a TV show in a cinema? That's just wow. And I'd love to see Sam and Dean on the big screen. *yummy*

Yeah they did! I didn't expect it either so when Dean and Sam were shown I may have fan girled a little. Okay, a lot *g*

:) Sounds like some good times. I'm glad that you got to see the movie and then the coast walk just sounds like it was lovely.

I've been telling mom that we need to go back to eating lowfat/nofat again, but so far all she's said is "yeah we do" and that's as far as it's gone. *rolls eyes* Dad lost close to 70 pounds the last time they did it (and he's put it all back on and more) and I know even if I can't get up and about to exercise, I'll feel better if we're eating healthier again, not that I'm eating junk now. I eat healthier than either of them as it.


*hugs you tight*

Thanks, honey. It really was a great time :D

I'm surprised at how much better I feel for eating healthier. It's so easy to eat junk, plus that stuff tastes great! But in the end it's better to eat well if possible. I'm sure you eat as well as you can, I mean, you sound like an awesome cook.

*hugs tight*

People walked out?! Like, they didn't understand that a 15 rated movie about two gay cowboys might equal some sex on screen? People are weird.

I'm so glad that you overcame your apprehensiveness and went and had a wonderful time. I cried too ([livejournal.com profile] seiyaharris, who has a heart of stone didn't and then mocked me for crying!) and I'm still a little broken.

John! And Andi! And Phil! And Emma! And Stefan flirting with John! And John grabbing Andi's hand and eating his crisps! And it was beautiful and is it next Saturday yet?!

They did walk out. I just laughed at them because they were obviously idiots.

I so did cry, Becca really must have a heart of stone not to. Because it's so tragic.

I wish it was Saturday! I need my ice dancing goodness!

Good on ya' for getting over the fear. I've gotten to the point where I don't take anyone to the movies with me except the kids and never see films unless it's at a theater I know has those bars you can pull up to allow you access to the seat next to yours too.

I hear you on that. I mean, I went but no way would I go to the cinema with anyone but James or Corey to sit next to. Because though I can get in the seat the cup holders are pretty much blocked and no way do I want that embarrassment with a stranger.

I fear I'm the last person on my flist who has not seen the gay cowboys. :( however, I cry at commercial, so maybe it'll be alright if I wait until I can watch it in the privacy of my own bedroom!

also, *mwah* I'm so proud of you.

I'm sure you won't be the last, there's bound to be some person waiting just as long as you for gay cowboys. But yes, it's so sad and I cried. Then had to do the wipe your face on the sly thing with my sleeve.

Thanks, honey. *smooch*
