Work it out!!

Hey Geeks!!   I wanted to talk a little bit about fitness.  This isn't going to be one of those preachy posts or anything.  If you're like most people, you're probably thinking about making fitness a priority for your new year's resolution.  I'm just saying instead of putting it off until the new year, just do it now.  You don't even have to go to the gym.  Just get up and start doing some jumping jacks or something.  Maybe during your favorite TV show (like 'The Big Bang Theory'), just stand up and do some squats.  Then during the commercials, do lunges until the show comes back on, then do a few sets of push-ups until the next set of commercials.  You don't have to go  outside or even put on any shoes (unless you do weighted squats with dumbbells),  just get up and move.  By the end of the show, you would have done a 30 minute workout.  Now, you're probably not going to drop a pound a week by doing this, but maybe you could use this as a starting point for a more robust fitness regimen.  Just something that was on my mind...Later Geeks:-)

Wanderlust: Welcome to Johnny's! Let me see your I.D. mother fucker!

 Alright, this is Priscilla and I am back. Just starting to come out of feeling really crappy and having the worst cold ever! Climate change, got here and almost 2 feet of snow fell. Thanks, Colorado! Ugh.

Anyway, almost a week ago Erin and I got back from 5 days and 4 nights in California. It's always so rad. It feels like home every time. We did like 80 things a day as usual when we are out there. Okay maybe not 80, but we kept really busy everyday. Actually we never have enough time to do everything we want.

We even tried following Andrew W K's steps while we were out there, you know, partying. If you are ever out in Cali or live out there, I HIGHLY recommend you go to Johnny's Saloon in Huntington Beach. That place was rad to begin with! We got there, dude at the door was cool, you walk in and BAM Johnny Cash is flipping you off! Uh, hello that is thee coolest way to be greeted! We made our way into the bar, which was packed. The walls, including the ceiling are plastered with the coolest rock n roll/punk rock pictures, posters and the best things on the walls are the paintings. I felt at home, really. Erin and I tasted for the first time ever pear cider. Very good. You obviously have not met the most gorgeous bartender ever until you go there! He made me some really good Long Island Ice Teas and introduced me to a shot called the Iggy Pop. Delish! It's the bar's signature shot and a very good choice it is! We were even lucky enough to meet Johnny himself! He's such an awesome guy! I asked him if I could buy a couple of Johnny's Saloon t-shirts so that Erin and I could rep them back in Colorado. He said there was none left, but then he went to the back and found two. He said that they were the last two and he didn't charge me. Fucking awesome! At the end of the night a bunch of us took this shot called A Mexican Lollipop and I LOVED it! We got lucky to get to go two nights while we were out there. No place here in Colorado is like that, that's for damn sure. Legit. Everyone there was cool and nice to me, which is fucking rad. When you wanna go out, you wanna go out and have fun. No drama. I am very thankful for everything. I made some great friends that night and hope to make more in the future, because we will be back. Actually in January a bunch of us are going back to California to celebrate Erin's birthday and guess where we are celebrating at?? Johnny's Saloon, no where else! So if you wanna join us then, JOIN!

Erin's Weekly 5 Favs!

I did 2 videos, because I was behind :\ sorry! But here is the actual one from this week!!!

Erins Weekly 5 Favs!

Entertainment: Top 5 Horror Movies

Ahh Halloween, my favorite holiday to ever grace the face of the earth. With it being right around the corner I thought I'd make a list of my top five favorite horror movies. There are several, but five will do for now.

5. Halloween - First off it has Michael Myers in it. This guy is insane. I remember being about ten years old and popping my dad's laser disc copy of Halloween in to the player. My mind was blown and that was the first movie to actually give me the creeps. Did this guy ever die? I literally had a heart attack each and every time Michael got back up. Hands down a classic that everyone should see.

4. Pyscho - Anything emulated after the story of Ed Gein will immediately peak my interest. The shower scene alone is enough to make you want to shower with a method of protection for the rest of your life. Norman Bates, the man with the boy next door look hiding his crazy very well....and don't forget his mother.

3. The Shining - I'm going a little different with this one. I prefer the television miniseries featuring Steven Webber as Jack. This creeped me out more than the actual movie itself. Everything from the creepy twins, the bloody elevator and who can forget the old lady in the bathtub (that scene still bothers me).

2. Trick R Treat - Can I talk about how much I love this movie?? I was unsure about it when I first heard about it but after I was so glad I watched it. I love different stories that somehow all tie together in the end with Sam who makes sure that everyone follows the rules of Halloween. If not, well you pay the price.

1. Okay here we are. My favorite horror movie hands down is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Again using a character based on Ed Gein, Leatherface is one of those killers that you just can't ignore, and if you did I'm sure he'd gladly take his chainsaw to you. This family of disturbed cannibals is enough to make anyone shudder and think twice about ever picking up a hitch hiker because that is when the problems start. If you like a lot of gore and a good scare this one is for you.

Awareness: Domestic Violence

Many people are unaware that October is also National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

If you or someone you know is being abused; emotionally, sexually, physically or verbally please SPEAK UP! There are several organizations out there to help. Everyone needs to understand that abuse is never okay and should not be tolerated. We need to stand up and stop the violence.

The video below speaks so much louder than any words I can say. We are not victims, we must be survivors. Remember it was never your fault!

You may be in an emotionally abusive relationship if your partner:

• Accuses you of cheating or is often jealous of your outside relationships.
• Wants you to dress in a sexual way.

• Held you down during sex.
• Demanded sex when you were sick, tired or after beating you.

Enterntainment: London Comic Con

While perusing the internet for Halloween costume ideas I came across this video from the London Comic Con.

My inner nerd has never been so happy. They look like they had a lot of fun making the video and I love every minute of it. My favorite part is at 0:46, if you know me you know why. This makes me want to go to Comic Con so bad!
