The Day After
Dec. 10th, 2006 08:46 pmYep, I'm aching today.
In case you're wondering what muscles get used playing ultimate (at least by me), the answer is odd. Of course my thighs, from running. Then also the entire back of my torso, from the tops of my shoulders down. I know the butt muscles get used for running, but the rest? Holding my arms out to guard people? Twisting and changing direction? Plus my neck, maybe from looking over my shoulder. Plus the muscles around the rib cage used for panting (and laughing and coughing). And my stomach and sides.
Also, I really should have trimmed my toenails before playing.
It's a good thing R. wanted to go outlet shopping for a suit (which he totally found!) today or I would have gotten no exercise.
We also went to La Madeleine because I was in the mood for an omelette. I liked the ones at Disney World slightly better, but this was good. (R. thought the ones at Disney World were surprisingly good, but he thinks La Madeleine makes the best omelettes ever.)
And we also went grocery shopping at the big HEB in Round Rock sort of on the way back from the outlet mall and stocked up on lots and lots of things.
I managed to get in about 8,000 steps (~4 miles).

In other news, we saw "Casino Royale," the latest Bond movie. I'd heard it was closer to the books than the other movies, and thus less cheesy.
It was very, very exciting. There were too many poker scenes for my tastes (I don't like that kind of tension), but they made up for it with the jumping chase scenes. There was precision jumping from ridiculous heights, onto or through ridiculously small targets, and/or at ridiculous speeds. It was like watching the Olympics. Totally awesome.
Unlike some Bond films, the dialog was not sickening and sometimes was quite fun. I really liked the scene where two characters tell each other what they have guessed about each other's personality and quirks. And then don't tell each other what they were right about.
Plot holes a-plenty, I'm afraid, though. The ones we noticed were mostly not until the end, though, so it wasn't distracting throughout the movie.
I'd give it three stars out of four. Normally I give Bond movies more like two stars.
