Desperate to lose weight - and not wanting to spend money again, I discovered via my flist, MyFitnessPal.com. It's a free dietary/calorie counter, without the expenditure and marketing annoyances of weight watchers.

Granted it is sort of hard to do - with a broken foot.

Watching Tim Burton's Dark Shadows at the moment, and I can't help but wonder if all the people in the cast watched the Twilight films and decided for some reason or other to copy the acting style? They all seem deeply stoned. With placid expressions. And no reactions. I understand being restrained...but my attention is wandering, obviously.

I love this line: "Maybe we are getting too worked up about this Angie..."
Yeah, except, you all seem sort of bored, Angie's the only one who is really showing any emotion what-so-ever. I blame the director, not the actors. Tim Burton should stick to animation - his stick figures are more animated.

This is all style and no substance. Lots of shout-outs to old 1970s pop songs, 1970s sytle,
and clothing. But, it's telling, that the television versions of "Dark Shadows" were far more entertaining, both the 1990s version and the 1960s/1970s version.

Yeah, I can really understanding being sick and tired of serial killers! I have tried to tune into Hannibal, but it just is really off putting. And Kevin Bacon had some really brutal serial killing procedural called the Following, that I quickly realized I didn't want in my life... I was actually thrilled that Ripper Street was way less about serial killers, and way more about the evolution of Victorian police work. Like Coppers is way more about history than a body count.

Take care of yourself!

I wish I'd know that about Ripper Street - I would have watched it. The previews turned me off.

Right there with you on both Hannibal and The Following - didn't want either in my head. It gets to be a bit much after a while. Felt the same way about The Cult - which was a tv series about the fandom of a violent serial killer tv series and bizarre re-enactments of that tv series killings. Ugh.

I can deal with Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, and Elementary - but the others are sort of over-kill.

Thanks. Climbing the walls. Been in apartment one too many days now.
