Curb your Enthusiasm

Curb MY enthusiam! I can't believe I had the box set DVDs for seasons 1 and 2 and never cracked it open until last week. It was a lazy Sunday and I thought I would see what the show was all about. Personally, I'm not a Seinfeld fan. I don't think Jerry Seinfeld is all that comedic. Sue me.
This show, on the other hand, is genius! I'm just afraid that as I approach the last season, it'll be all too predicable, with Larry coincidentally running into the same people who seem to misunderstandingly disapprove of him for one reason or another. Hopefully that won't happen.
I have never laughed outloud this much before, not since "Gran Torino." God Clint, you crack me up. The world of Larry David is hilarious with all his self-imposed rules and procedures. My husband tells me Seinfeld was based on Larry David, and I can clearly see that, I just think it's much funnier when it's Larry David on screen. Not only that, I think his wife and manager's personalities mesh very well with his.
I'm not crazy about the music though... I think they could afford to mix it up every now and then, but I guess that's the whole point of the show. Definitely one of my favorite shows, can't wait to see the rest!

Tomato Juice

It's been a well-known fact that tomatoes are high in antioxidants and can help prevent cancer. I like tomatoes, but I'm not crazy about eating them just by itself without it being in a hamburger or something. Here is a little regimen I'd like to share - it's so easy to do and oh so good for you.

You're going to need a blender or mixer.

Each morning I take 5 little tomatoes (from Trader Joe's) and blend it into a mixer with fresh squeezed orange juice and flax seed. Blend it well so it's like a juice and drink. It's really good actually. Then when I get home I will cut up some strawberries and blueberries (another superfood) and blend to make another drink. It actually keeps me kind of full and I figure it's packed with good stuff. Try it, it's so easy to do and so good for you!

A First for Me...

Last Sunday my cousin and I were driving to Kings Road Cafe and I as pulled into my parking spot she said, "That man is taking a dump on the street." I turned to look, and sure enough, there he was, hunched over on the gutter of the main street. Nice.
