This is what I do instead of elbowing my way through throngs of high schoolers trying to watch Wall-E on opening night (which, mind you, I am dying to see).
Amazon MP3 Downloads
I'm amazed that this doesn't get more press/hype. For those of us who have a shred of moral fiber (just a shred) in us and prefer to buy music legitimately, I don't know why anyone uses iTunes when they can get DRM-free mp3s from Amazon. Plus, every Friday they put out 5 CDs for $5. Last week I bought 'Raising Sand,' a collaboration between Alison Krauss and Robert Plant.
And, the Wii Fit
I just went over to some friends' house to play it after they have been raving about it for weeks. It is so cool. You stand on this balance pad that can (very precisely) detect where your center of balance is and it guides you through four types of exercises: Aerobics, Yoga, Strengthening, and Balance. Lots of fun games and things that really--no, seriously--give you a workout. It can calculate your BMI and set a target BMI for you to reach within a set number of weeks. Also I learned that I'm quite unbalanced--my right side is much weaker than my left. I'm considering getting a Wii just so I can play Wii Fit.
