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.

It kind of amazes me that someone as talented as Tim Burton can make a movie as bad as 'Dark Shadows'.... I guess everyone can have a failure, but this was such a stupid idea from the beginning (at least it seemed stupid to me).

Of course the studios all seem to be making one huge failed big budget movie after another...
I enjoyed Iron Man 3 and the Star Trek Into Darkness... but Man of Steel has a terrible rating at Rotten Tomatoes, and WWZ doesn't look to be much better...
After Earth was a huge expensive failure, and GI Joe and Oblivion aren't going to break even....
I just am amazed that they make these enormous films with giant special effects, but with such terrible scripts/premise/total lack of story.

Sorry for the rant.

I hope your foot is feeling okay, that you aren't in pain....

I just caught up on Burn Notice, and I'm still a huge fan of Fiona!

I've started using MyFitnessPal recently! I've found it really helped me keep track of how much I'm eating, it's so easy otherwise to snack and not think about if your body really needs those extra calories at that moment
