Chew on this!

Okay, so I'm still trying to recover from a 2 hour Pilates class that I took on Saturday. (Why take both the beginner and intermediate class? Because the teacher offered both for the price of one and I wouldn't be my mother's daughter if I didn't take it.) So while I wobble around, chew on these things:

-The website for The Simpsons Movie is up and running. There's a couple of games and the trailer to watch. Plus, you can make yourself as a Simpsons character. As for the trailer, it's okay. I realize that they're trying to send up the whole summer Blockbuster thing, but it doesn't seem to fit The Simpsons, but the end makes it all worth it. Trust me.

-The food critic for LA Weekly, Jonathan Gold, has released his 99 essential restaurants to visit. The whole list is in the latest issue, plus on their website. There's a lot of restaurants that I have never heard of, or have heard of but haven't gone to, as well as some old favorites that always make my list. P.S. there's a coupon for a free coffee from Famima! on the back of the cover.

-I read this article in Time magazine yesterday. Basically, when they got married, the author and her husband got a dog (Basset of course) and it becomes their "baby". However, when they get a real baby the Basset baby becomes somewhat of a pest to them. Instead of looking lovingly at her loyal companion and getting warm fuzzies, she becomes irritated and annoyed at his presence. I hate that. People don't realize that a puppy becomes a dog and that what they do as an older dog might not be as cute as when they were younger. C'mon people, be responsible adults! Yes, it might get busier in your life, and Rover might cost you money to go to the vet, but really, don't punish the dog. That's just mean. Okay, I'm done ranting. Read her essay, as well as her response to her crazy dog-loving critics like myself here.
