Yogi?

Hello ladies and gents,

I just got done with a 3 hour class that runs from 5:30-8:30 on Mondays; so I'm sorry my blog is coming so late...but you should really just be happy I am even writing right now. I wanted to give a quick rundown of some Sunday highlights.

The title of the blog is a reflection of my newfound Sunday morning pastime, YOGA. And no, I didn't make the term up...it even has its own wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yogi. Ok, so maybe I don't qualify because I've only had about six classes at this point. I'm not actually even sure how much I like it, but it's kinda fun. For those of you who have seen me play sports, my yoga skills are pretty similar. Over the past six classes, I have probably progressed from awful (worst person in the room) to bearable (not the worst male there). One thing I enjoy about yoga though is that I usually feel better at the end of class than I did at the beginning. I actually feel more energized and ready to have a semi-productive Sunday. So that's cool. Seriously, who would have ever thought such a manly man as myself would do yoga....

The picture for this blog is a frittata that C made last night. (yeah, breakfast for dinner!) The link to the recipe can be found at http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/2284. If you notice, the picture on the website actually looks pretty darn similar to the one C took. Pretty impressive huh? The one change C made was to add tomatoes. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to use maybe 3 or 4 eggs per frittata instead of 2. The veggies just dominated the scene. If you are noticing goat cheese as a common thread in some of my recent meals, then you are very astute. Goat cheese is highly underrated people!

After the little meal, C and I went to the Oriental Theater, (love that place) and saw The White Ribbon. http://www.landmarktheatres.com/Films/films_frameset.asp?id=81457 Let me start by saying the ending of the film even let me down, and I have a lot of patience for strange/unresolved endings. The rest of the film was great. Characters are disturbing. Plot is well put together. Cinematography is outstanding. Obviously, for those of you who don't like subtitles, probably not your jam. Also, movie is all black and white, which might be a turnoff for some. It's actually really hard for me to suggest the movie to most people. The ending just really got to me. It basically leaves it for the viewer to fill in the most likely scenario...but C and I disagreed as to what was the most likely scenario! So if you want to be left thinking "hmmm, I wonder which of these options is the truth," then the movie is perfect for you. Probably not the optimum first date movie (for all of you single folks out there)

And that was pretty much my Sunday. Then it was back to the grind today...

BTW: I should add a plug for Transfer. C and I ate pizza there on Saturday night, and it was fantastic. They have lots of good pizzas with great crust. Plus, they have a solid beer selection. I could link to the restaurant's site, but that might be link-overload for one blog. I'll just say that Transfer is right where KK and 1st Street split off, near the clock tower. Anyone who wants to go back there with me, let me know. Highly recommended.

Alright, that's all I can think of at the moment. Hope you are all doing well and being positive. To be continued.
