This week has been a big weekend for me in regards to sports simply because I only watch 3 sporting events on TV. Tennis, golf and soccer. This past week has been so awesome. Watching Venus and Serena make it to the round of 16. The #1 player in the world get spanked by Zheng, ranked in the 120s. Maria Sharapova getting her ass handed to her by a fellow Russian ranked below 100. Yup, a lot of upsets. No American men are in the round of 16 for the first time in decades. I hope the William sisters meet in the finals, but that's just wishful thinking. Today, I also watched the match between Spain and Germany. Given the past matches I thought Germany was going to win, but not even close. I'm surprised that Spain only won by 1 (1-0), I really thought that they were going to win 3-0 (at least). Spain had control of the ball almost the whole time, and they just kept attacking and attacking. Viva Espana!
MOVIE GALORE
During the summer time, I normally don't watch a lot of movies. I'm normally out and about running, yoga, surfing, beach bumming, but since my car has been acting up recently (I drove her the 1st time today in about 1.5 weeks) I've had a lot of time not only to play video games, but also to watch movies. I've seen probably 5 movies the past 10 days, which is really a lot for me. At the theaters, I saw Kung Fu Panda, Wanted and Wall-e. Guess what? They are all awesome movies! Kung Fu Panda had me laughing from beginning to end. I really haven't laughed that hard in ages! My favorite scene is with the chopsticks! Yesterday, I saw Wall-e and true to Pixar form, the movie was really an emotional roller coaster. I can't believe, I had an emotional connection to robots who couldn't form a sentence. On the other end, is Wanted, just a great kick-butt summer movie! I really enjoyed it. Great action, good acting, and yeah I guessed the twist at the ending, but hey, still well done. Hmmmmm... Its hard to just recommend 1 movie. If you had to see just 1, it would really just depend on what you were in the mood for. Just non-stop laugher, Kung Fu Panda, for comedy, action, and a message!, Wall-E. For action on speed, caffeine, crack, and whatever stimulus, Wanted is the movie for you. All A movies!
WALL-E
WANTED
THRIFTY SHIPPING
I love eBay. Recently I received coupons, 1 for 10% off, and the other for $10 off shipping that I could use 3 times. Well, I've gotten a couple of great deals. First a video game, I basically saved $15, than if I bought it at the store, 2nd Microsoft Xbox points, I saved $10 and lastly, my big purchase today, I bought an Apple Gift certificate on eBay! The gift certificate was valued at $275.00, I bought it at $262.00, and I had a 10% coupon, so my total was $235.80. Not to mention, I earned $15.72 eBay bucks which is good towards a future purchase so my total cost = $220.87. I am going to use it to buy my new iPhone coming about 7.11 along with the insurance plan that covers the phone for 2 years! Super! Well, its bed time for me, and yeah gotta work out in the AM.
Mahalo for reading.
Until next time.
