Dancing Queen

I don’t know what possessed me but when I read that the X-Box 360 (which I got for free) now has its own Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) game, I decided to try it.

DDR always looked fun, but hard. It features plenty of dance music, which I do enjoy. And I keep hearing that some people have lost weight playing that thing. You see, even though I’ve lost some weight in the last few months, I think that I could probably use losing 15-20 more pounds and I’ll be happy with my weight.

So I ordered DDR for my X-Box 360. It arrived on Friday, which is perfect timing because that gave me the weekend to test it out. And boy, have I tested it out. I have been playing that thing non-stop. My feet and calfs are killing me. But I had so much fun. It’s also very tiring. I had sweat running down my back. And I’ve slept like a baby the last couple of nights thanks to it.

The game is hard though. Kids make it look so easy. Even though after playing with it for a couple of days, I can say that I am getting considerably better at it. Although sometimes things just get too crazy.

It has a calory-burning counter and I seem to burn about 500-600 calories a day. I don’t play it full time of course, just a few songs here and there. But hey, that is almost one of my meals, or a snack.

Who knows, maybe I’ll get good at it AND lose weight!

Jumbone song

It’s been 3 years since I made my original Jumbone song post and just today I have come across more info about the song itself. It is the best jingle ever!

It’s made by a band called Self. You can download the jingle from their fan website. And who knew, they are also the ones who sing that “expedia dot coooom” jingle.

Oh hell no

That grand canyon glass-floor skywalk thingy is open now.

Every time I look at it I just think “hell no, oh hell no.”

I wonder when and how the first death will be. Jump? Heart attack? Glass cracking? Structural failure?

Speed

I feel like I’m on the movie Speed. My car is overheating which means that as long as I’m driving, everything is OK. But when I stop at a light, even for just a minute, the temperature gage goes up the red level and my car stats making a dinging noise to warm me.

It’s at the shop now. Hopefully the fix won’t be too expensive, I think it’s just the radiator fan.
