Wow

Anyone else cry during these Google Chrome ads?

When the dad jumps in the crib I just about lose it.

Do This: SurfSET Fitness

My sister and I took advantage of a day off to try the new SurfSET Fitness class over at Chelsea Piers. The SurfSET Classic looked easy enough for us beginners who have never ever been on a surf board. We showed up early to our class, the SurfSET classic described as:

New to SurfSET? Come check out this introduction to the "Core 6" exercise methods, SurfSET specialty moves and get acquainted with the RipSurferX and our extreme surf-style full body workout.


We showed up early and took the demo, thank god. You use a surfboard balanced on three balance balls tied together with some resistance and jump on. Learning how to "dive", " ride the waves", and some other things I can't remember because I was focused on keeping my balance.

It's fun. Really fun. You end up working up quite a sweat paddling out for the cardio and jumping up and down on this board all while keeping balance and not falling off (something some woman actually did right into Carly - quite funny) I am guaranteeing being extremely sore tomorrow but that's OK as I'm definitely going to book another class. Oh, and the instructors, as expected, are HOT and make it fun for everyone so don't feel intimidated if you've never jumped up on a board.

Glee: We are Young

Try to not smile when watching this. Even if you hate Glee. Try.

I am SO excited for this

I have read most of Chelsea Handler's books. My favorite being Are You There Vodka? It's Me Chelsea so this show better not disappoint. Wednesday night at 8:30 on NBC. DO IT.

Watch This: Kristen Wiig and Paul Feig Times Talk

I have such an enormous girl crush on Kristen Wiig. When my friend texted me saying he had extra tickets to the Times Talk at the NY Times Center where she and Bridesmaid director Paul Feig were speaking, I immediately said yes.

The two talked about the huge success of Bridesmaids and how the film was made including writing style, the editing process and what it takes to make a movie like that. Questions from the audience focused a lot on Wiig's hilariously popular characters on SNL.

The full video can be seen on the NY Times site here. Check it out. Heck they drink wine and play a drinking game where every time someone says "asshole" the red wine is sipped.

Go See This: My Week with Marilyn

If only for the lead actor's adorable accent (and lips! OMG) - this movie is beautiful and Michelle Williams will 100% be nominated for an Oscar this year, heck I'd say she has a chance of winning it. Her Jen from Dawson Creek days are OVER. (P.S. out of that whole cast Michelle Williams sure has done the best---with Mrs. Tom Cruise of course following in a long distance 2nd place.)

If you're a Marilyn fan you'll be intrigued as this is another layer revealed of the actress. Who knew she was so shy and nervous about her capabilities when she was such a sexpot in public?

If you're like me and only know a small bit about Marilyn, prepare yourself to watch an ample amount of YouTube video of Miss Monroe and dig in to her Wikipedia and husband history.

Either way, go see it. Enjoy.

Go See This: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying

 

Darren Criss, yes from Glee, is currently in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Thanks to the lovely Daniel who waited outside in line to get Lauren and I tickets with him, I had the pleasure of going last night. Go see it. Run, don't walk as the tween girls who skipped out of the theater did before the curtain call to get in line for a potential Darren autograph.*

The music to this show is not amazing like Memphis  (another show you should see by the way), but the entertainment factor is 10 going on 11. Hilarious, dancing is fantastic and you just smile throughout.

*Disclosure: The three of us waited for a bit outside hoping for a glimpse to appease our inner gleek, but no such luck. Boo.

Go Buy This: Cordies by quirky

An early "you're welcome" to the organizationally challenged. As part of my New Year's goals, not resolutions, I want to become organized. This item, something that costs only $9.99 is doing the trick on my desk at work.

Goodbye wires hanging off desks and flying missing behind my monitors. Buy them here.

The Most Important Question of 2012: Who will be the next Ryan Gosling?

2011 was Year of the Gosling. Try and argue against that.

• He was in 3 movies that included him looking extremely attractive in all three. One of them made every woman in America swoon as he (shirtless) lifted Emma Stone in the Dirty Dancing lift scene we all dream of doing. 
• He had a protest to get him to be the Sexiest Man Alive after Bradley Cooper won it. 
• He stopped a fight and it was recorded on YouTube.
• He had 80 million (not exact # but honestly there are tons) of memes devoted to this man. 
• HE. WAS. EVERYWHERE.

Still not sold, then look at this and be on with it. 

And while I am one of Ryan's loyal supporters, I must say that 2012 is the year of someone new. A new man with rock hard abs will enter our world and take on the title of Man of the Year on the Internet.

My prediction goes to Tom Hardy. Mark it down. You heard it here first. Mr. Tom Hardy, aka BANE from the upcoming ridiculously awesome looking Batman movie, the other Spy in Spy vs. Spy, the hot guy with the accent from Inception will take our hearts with his swoon-worthy accent and...yea...I mean just look at him.

Who else do we think stands a chance against the legend that is Gosling? Or will Ryan continue on this year with another sweep?


Note: Please read this lightheartedly, I'm kidding around and hope you will to with this.
