Last night, I went to see the fifth of the seven Harry Potter movies. Another great movie sequal that i can’t wait for the rest. It was interesting to see the characters grow from 11 years old to 17/18 years old. It kind of reminded me of myself. Oh how time flies.

Emma Watson (Hermione), is said to have signed up to be in the last two movies (if she wasn’t in the last two, they might as well just stop it at five) and claims that she never has to work again, once the film franchise ends. She admitted to making over 10 million euros in her sequals and with a mom and dad as lawyers, she is pretty much set to retire after the series ends. She also says “people can’t understand why I don’t want to be a full-time actress but school life keeps me in touch with my friends. It keeps me in touch with reality.”

Finally, a well brought up young lady. Now let’s hope she doesn’t follow in Paris’ footsteps.

Wii Fit.. will it really work? Posted by Carinka

So I hear Nintendo is coming out with a new game for the Wii called Wii Fit. Since I am a owner of the Nintendo Wii, I wonder….is this going to work? Will people actually be able to go down in waist size due to this new game?

Suppossidly, the Wii Fit package comes with a Wii balance board, in which you stand on the board and it measures the person’s center of gravity, weight and body mass index (now if a regular scale can’t do this, how can Nintendo make this happen?). Anywho, the board acts as a control for about 40 different types of training activites and these trainings fall into four fitness categories: Aerobic Exercise: 10-minute exercises that are designed to get the heart pumping, Muscle Conditioning: Controlled motions using arms, legs and other body parts, Yoga Poses: Classic poses that focus on balance and stretching, and Balance Games: Fun activities, such as ski jumping and heading soccer balls, that challenge the player’s overall body balance.

Sounds like a workout!

This would be awesome if it in fact did work and would save many people to the gym. Highly unlikely though :(

No official release date has been set.

That’s right all you fans, Beatstock ‘07 is right around the corner! As you all know, whatever happens at Beatstock, stays at Beatstock! For all the Jersey people, it falls on August 18, 2007 at PNC Bank Arts Center in Homdel, New Jersey and for all the NY people it falls on August 19, 2007 at Jones Beach in Wantagh, Long Island.

Every year, my girls and I look forward for the hottest sexiest day of the year. A day that everyone fist pumps, techno, house, and trance music for 4 hours straight. This event is almost bigger than celebrating a birthday. All girls go shopping for Beatstock outfits and make sure their outfits are prefectley assembled for the big day. Having the perfect tan and your nails in a french manicure is also key ;)

Days before the concert is important to plan who is driving, who is drinking, who is putting in gas money, what drinks will be necessary, who is packing the survival kit, chairs, music, etc. The day of Beatstock, usually consists of waking up around 8am and starting to get ready (Looking plastic is just an idea what Beatstock is all about). To beat all the traffic on the one and only New Jersey Parkway, you would need to leave around noon. Last year, my friends and I had to make a stop in Lyndhurst so we were actually sitting in about 3 hours of traffic. We will managed to get to the concert about a hour or two before it started.

Once you arrive at PNC and move through all the car honking, techno/ trance blasting music, screaming drunk guidos/ guidettes, stretch limos, underage girls with neon mini skirts wearing mroe make-up then a MAC counter, you try and fit your car into the first lawn you see where people are drinking. Usually no one cares how far away you park as long as you park where people are already wasted and have the music you like blasting.

It is hard to talk about what goes and what people see during pregaming and the actual concert, one just needs to be a fan to understand what i mean by all this Beatstock 411.

THERE’S ONLY ONE BEATSTOCK! (See pics below taken from Beatstock 2006)

I LOVE MY GIRLS!

The Beckhams on TV Posted by Carinka

Surprise, Surprise! Not only will you be able to see a hour- long special about Victoria Beckham (her original series was canceled, since Victoria stated “my family will always come first before my career.”) BUT get this, the Beckham’s best friends, TomKat, managed to get both David & Victoria Beckham a role in the Showtime series, The Tudors. I enjoy watching The Tudors, the cast is not only extremely good looking but it’s better than watching the History Channel. It shows the way and the life of King Henry VIII.

I don’t know about you, but i can’t wait to see the HOT British couple in wardrobes from the 1500’s and the acting skills. No date has been yet given as to what Season they will appear on. Stay tuned!
