Salsa

So I went and signed up with meetup.com, a singles website that has events that people can go to to meet other singles, so I joined a group. First I was intimidated because I wasn't sure what event to go to (your suppose to go to at least one per month). Do you go to a really crowded one and just watch whats going on, do you go to a small one, etc... So my choices were Salsa Mondays, a small affair, Drinking Thursdays, I don't drink so I think that's out, or the annual beach BBQ day where everybody goes, well that sounded like a blast but, that is scheduled for the day of my Mom's birthday party so that wont work. So I picked Salsa.

I got there a little early I wasn't sure how long it would take. I went outside where the hostesses son and another guy were playing ping pong, so I watched. More people showed up, everyone was very nice, then we finally got started with the Salsa lesson. There were 10 men and 7 women. We learned the steps and then we partnered up and practiced till we got it right. We did switch partners quite often so it was good to mix it up and get to dance with everyone.

It was a little warm that night and dancing is great exercise, so got tired fast. It was great fun though. I will definitely go again next week, but I'm bringing a large jug of ice water. I'm glad I picked a small event for my first, now I at least know a couple of people for next time.

District 9



So we went to the movies on Saturday. Since we had seen a little kid movie last weekend then I told the older kids I would take them to see a scary movie this weekend. They wanted to see District 9. From the previews it didn't look that bad so I bought the tickets.

The previews showed before the movie were all scary and things that I definitely would not want to go see. 'The Final Destination' ('Final Destination: Death Trip 3D') (2009) Why would you want to see a lot of teenagers stupidly trying to avoid death IN 3D, it's just to much. 'Saw VI' (2009) After the first 1 you've pretty much seen them all. I guess the first thing I should have told you was that I'm not a scary movie watcher. I'm a screamer, and a jumper, 2 things not good in movie theaters. Even at home it can be dangerous. My kids love to watch scary movies then trick me into watching certain parts as I pass through just so they can see me scream and jump. They think it's hilarious.

And Now Back To The Movie.....
So the movie starts and it begins with interviews of people with English accents. They are talking about a space ship that landed. Taking an obvious metaphor for apartheid as a mere jumping-off point, District 9 is set in Blomkamp's hometown of Johannesburg, South Africa, where 20 years earlier a spaceship appeared above the city and mysteriously stopped. Humans "rescued" the starving alien creatures inside it and rounded them up in an area called District 9, which quickly morphed into a slum where Nigerian gangsters prey off the aliens, given the derogatory but accurate nickname "prawns."

The time has finally come for the government agency/weapons manufacturer MNU to relocate District 9 further from the city, and put in charge of the operation is bureaucratic dweeb Wikus Van De Merwe (Sharlto Copley), a guy who married the boss's daughter and has spent the rest of his life happily pushing pencils in a larger-than-average cubicle. As he serves eviction notices to the prawns who live in the assorted shacks, Wikus takes delight in firebombing alien eggs and wielding his authority like a particularly obnoxious weapon. With lots of alien weapons that only work with Alien DNA. But when he comes afoul of a mysterious substance cooked up by an alien named, for some reason, Christopher Johnson, Wikus almost immediately begins a transformation into the world's first human-alien hybrid. After the government initially tries to slice him up for research and weapons development, Wikus escapes and takes refuge in the only hiding place he has left: District 9.

Not only do the "Aliens" look and act like cockroaches, but they talk by clicking. Somehow humans have learned their language and they have learned some English. The part that I didn't get the most was how do alien beings from another planet build a ginormous space ship and travel across space if they are dumber than humans?

This was definitely a guy movie. If I hadn't gotten the tickets for free I would have definitely wanted my money back.

4. One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a U-Washington study.

5. Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen.

8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

G-Force


So we finally got to go to the movies it seems like it's been forever. Buying a house can really take up all your time and money.

They are playing G-Force down at the Edwards Theater in 3D. Wow have they come along way with 3D since the last movie I've seen. All of the previews were in 3D the entire G-Force movie was done in 3D, it was really cool.

The movie was very action packed. I loved the way they made all of the animals look so real even really close up. Tapped for the G-Force are guinea pigs Darwin (voice of Sam Rockwell), the squad leader determined to succeed at all costs; Blaster (voice of Tracy Morgan), an outrageous weapons expert with tons of attitude and a love for all things extreme; and Juarez (voice of Penelope Cruz) a sexy martial arts pro; plus the literal fly-on-the-wall reconnaissance expert, Mooch, and a star-nosed mole, Speckles (voice of Nicolas Cage), the computer and information specialist. Along the way, the G-Force encounters myriad other members of the animal kingdom, including pet shop layabout Hurley (voice of Jon Favreau) and the rabidly territorial hamster Bucky (voice of Steve Buscemi). My favorite guinea pig was the girl, Agent Juarez. She kicked butt.

I can't wait for all of the other 3D movies to come out.
They are re-releasing Toy Story 1 & 2 in 3D, coming out October, 2009.
There will be a new movie called Astroboy in 3D coming out October 2009.
Planet 51 in 3D (looks like it will be a cute kids movie) will be coming out in time for the Thanksgiving weekend this year.
Avatar 3D coming out the beginning of December.
They did a remake of A Christmas Carol in 3D animation that looks soo good, coming out in November, 2009. Jim Carrey is going to be the voice of Scrooge and the past, present, future ghosts. It's one of those stories that some people need to learn over and over again. Everyone knows at least one scrooge each Christmas.

Rick Martinez presents - Spicy Latino Night @ the Ontario Improv

July 29th 2009 I went to Spicy Latino Night at the Ontario Improve. One of the comedians that performs texts me constantly until I buy tickets. (We'll talk about that later.)

So the first thing that you need to know is that timing is everything. The doors open at 7:30p.m. If you get there the first 10 minutes you will be sitting up front and you will "apart" of the show. Also there is A LOT of sex jokes and cussing, so if you can't handle that then this is not the show for you.

The show started at 8:00 p.m. Porf the host comes out to warm up the audience. He's a cute kid. So Porf announces the comedians before they go up.

First up was James Jericho - he's a white guy who dresses like he works for the daily planet. He tells jokes about comic books and trys to bag on himself a little. I applaud his ability to actually get on stage and speak, but he's not funny. I don't get why he performs at Spicy Latino Night, he's not spicy, & he's not Latino. I think he would be better at comicon or some type of nerd thing, but definitely not Spicy Latino Night.

Next up was Arturo Rios - Wow Art's whole skit is just about eating pussy. He is so passionate about it that it makes you blush (and want to take him home). He actually calls himself the Pussy eating mother fucker. He's very funny. He makes gestures towards the women who are sitting in the front.

Then Eric James - He is a big guy who tells jokes about working at a gym. He was really funny, and did a great job.

Then Lotty Mason came up and did her dancing impersonation of Micheal Jackson, grabbing her crotch. She told a lot of jokes about Micheal Jackson, and she picked on the audience. Lotty is a big black girl with fake contacts and she is very graphic and aggressive in her jokes so she was a little scary.

Then Rick Martinez - he starts his skit off the same way the DJ playing music then he dances and takes the microphone stand reels it down in front of the people sitting in front making it look like it's his dick. Then he tells a story about Porf getting drunk and sucking his dick. After he gets his initial jokes out of the way then he goes after the audience. Asking them questions and roasting them, he usually goes after the girls first and then singles out a guy to pick on. Then he finishes with his joke about dating a beautiful blond girl.

Ricky Escarzega was next - he's a tall cute kid that makes jokes about pot smoking. I brought my 18 year old son and he seemed to laugh at more of his jokes than I did. I was not surprised to learn that he does most of his shows in Hollywood. That seems to be were most of the younger crowd would go.

Luke Torres was up - Now I have to tell you when this guy came out he looked like a serious gangster. Then he opens with making fun of heavy metal and doing spot on impersonations of heavy metal songs. He did an impersonation of a black pastor, and a gay guy. He was soo funny, I would love to see a headliner show with him. He has his own You Tube TV Show.

Jeff Garcia Finished it up - He is a funny guy. He drinks water in between every joke which is a little distracting. He made a lot of jokes about wet backs. He does the voice of Sheen in Jimmy Neutron and the voice of Pip in the Barnyard movie.

Considering this was my 2nd viewing of the show I was pleased to see that the comedians and Porf were not as drunk as the first time I saw them. & I wish there was a little more advertising as to the line up for the shows.
