That's if we have a soul. Anyway, I have tired many different types of exercising over the years from Kickboxing to Bike Riding to Weights and aerobic exercise, tae-bo and aerobics. But by far the best exercise is SKIPPING. Yep, sir I bought a skipping rope online afew days ago (a professional one that boxers use for £4 cheap as chips which is presumably why so many people eat them!) And I kid you not it shows you how un-fit you truly are. I did 12 repetitions and my heart was beating like crazy. I managed about 300 in the end (today and yesterday) and I was pouring in sweat. The next day (today) I noticed that my body was already more toned. And it works every part of your body. I was aching everywhere (a sign of a good workout) I've had a few kickboxing classes where I could hardly walk the next day. So, yeah skipping try it for yourself...
Embarrasing I went to see my dietian yesterday and I was talking through with her what I could and couldn't eat. She weighed me and told me that I've put on a stone (at least) in the last five months. This is due to getting vitamins from food that I previously was missing thanks to coeliac disease (body can't tolerate Gluten) So, lol I was showing her my stomach and my button on my pants was broken. No, I didn't unleash the penis! As if I would! But she did get a good look at my boxers! I pulled my shirt down and continued as if nothing happened. Then I whipped her bra off and rode her like a pony. No, not really. God, I hope she doesn't read this :)
Still waiting for my bloody DVD from a well known online company over two weeks now! Grr, they don't count it as missing until 28 days have passed... fuckers.
If you have red hair, piercings, poss tattoo and dress in rock / indie attire send me a damn e-mail! Shameless I know! And I'm only half joking. Well, I'm off to watch a martial arts flick or scrubs I can't decide. I've spent last night and much of today working on the new forum and inserting the winning competition logo. Well, done Slayer Tom!

It looks amazing! Because of this I haven't had time to update the main website. Just wanna say RIP Patrick Swayze, what a legend he was in Point Break, Road House and Donnie Darko. Great actor. Very sad; the beast his last TV project was excellent esp towards the end.
Until tomorrow... Vaya con Dios

Derren Brown, the website and more...
Ok, so I'm sure those of you who live in the UK and haven't been living under a rock have heard about magician Derren Brown's lottery stunt. On Wed night he successfully predicted six balls (not the bonus) during the live lottery before they were announced. You can no doubt find the clip on YouTube. For legal reasons (yeah right) he told us that he couldn't show us the prediction before the results. To me this kinda rendered the whole thing void. On Friday he explained to us how he did it. This was an over complicated attempt IMO to make us look gullible. I don't mean it like the way it sounds (I believe the whole experiment was to make people think something that isn't true - how people can be easily led) His explanation was a little dumb, 24 people were in a room and over the last few weeks they've tried to predict the lottery. Then after all of their guesses the results were added up and the average was taken. Or something along those lines. At first they got three balls correct and then four... BUT then we were supposed to believe that on Wed night they got all six correct. I think it's much more likely that Derren used a split screen (one side of the screen is live and the other is pre-recorded) because he himself doesn't believe in psychic ability and he thinks it's mumbo jumbo (which it is) He used a technique where you rest a pen on the paper and sub consciously you let your mind pick a number for you. It's completely ridiculous.
His other feats were more impressive - he told a young man that there was a knife hidden under one of twenty cups and that he wanted him to stamp on them one by one. He offered him 500,000 compensation in case it went wrong. Of course it didn't and there was no knife. But there was a mouse hidden under the plastic cup that he left. The only thing I can think of is that the man was in on it.
Much more impressive was the David Blaine show latter that night. He performed several incredible card tricks and caught a live bullet in his mouth. His street magic is amazing. How do you take a dollar from someone and rub the F off and move it down the note. Or get someone to sign a card and place it in the deck. Then you throw the cards in the air and pick out the one with the signature on it with a dart! Hu? He also told someone to hold and think of any card. He took a match and held it underneath it and it was their card! Unbelievable...
The Website
Ok, I've updated the main page again with a rather impressive new Dollhouse poster. I've added the saucy Buffy comic strip picture and a new babe of the day and guy of the day. I'm thinking about running an annual awards at Christmas (watch this space) and somehow adding twitter to the site. Not easy as it's flash not HTMI. Enjoy your Saturday.

The routine
Stand ups, are they funny? I mean I like Lee Evans (I've grown up with his comedy) but I was watching Alan Carr last night and he barely made me snigger. And yet the audience were in hysterics leading me to believe that I don't have a funny bone. Of course I do, comedy is of course a personal taste. What I find funny is usually character based - sitcoms. Because I find them witty (Frasier) or surreal (Family Guy, Scrubs) or simply because I know these people "in real life" Not the actors but people who are like the characters. However stand up comedy is often cruel and damn right smutty (Roy chubby brown) and I used to like that as a teenager. But now I find it quite boring. I can't think of a single stand up that I like apart from Lee Evans (maybe I just haven't seen enough of them) but without characters the joke falls flat.
My body clock is all over the place (no routine you see) sometimes I'll go to be at 12 or 1 or 2 and then I'll get up at 9 or 10 or 11 and because of this my body doesn't know what the hell is going on. I really need a routine (bed at 11 up at 7 for example) but I'm strangely awake at night and exhausted during the day. When it gets to night time I don't wanna go to bed when "this film is on" or I'm enjoying my DVD's. So, I usually end up staying up too long and regretting it the next day. I've tried to get up early before but what with coeliac I'm tired anyway so a sixteen hour day is difficult and I'll end up napping. I must try though as I really wanna start training again for kickboxing. Yeah, I do it now and again anyway but I'd love to do it everyday.
The website has a new poll, the ultimate Buffy season part 2 and i still want your twitter questions. Is anybody reading this?

Football, the sheep and the slaughter
So, for once I actually have a bit of energy which I've used to do exciting things like washing, bed making (untidying is more fun - any offers?) cleaning and general housey work. Too much! Far far too much...
It's the football tonight. Yep millions of sheep (sorry I mean people) will be watching the game in the hope that England qualify for the World cup. I wouldn't watch it for two reasons 1 Nobody and I do mean nobody deserves to get paid 100,000+ for a weeks work (or one game of football) It is the people who buy the tickets and the merchandise that make this possible. People will say err you go to watch a movie don't you? Well, yes actors and actresses get paid way too much too but BUT they work three months for their money not 1hour and a half. It's disgusting...
And two I would rather watch paint dry. Sorry, if you like it I'm not judging you really just our (sigh) society as a whole. Ok, I am judging you... now go and live vicariously through your heroes.
I watched the pilot of Warehouse 13 last night. It was ok, slightly over-long for the story they were trying to tell. But it has potential and it's JaneE so I gotta give it a chance...
I just bought Best of the best 1 - 4 for £7 DVD's are stupidly cheap now. I love martial arts (as you probably know) I've been waiting for over a week for my Smallville Blu-ray from a well known online music store. They seem to take ages...
I really should get those photos and nitpicks done for the website but I just can't find the time atm. I got Maria Sharapova's autograph from her agent yesterday. She's gorgeous and a great athlete (before you start - tennis players don't get paid anywhere near as much as footballers do and they look much better in a short skirt)
If you're reading this and you have an FAQ question send it to me on the twitter page.
www.twitter.com/whedonverse
and I'll feature it on the main website. Because you're reading this blog I'm gonna give you first dibs! Tomorrow I'll be posting the link on the main website (on the welcome message) so get in there before everyone else does :)
Until tomorrow. Thanks for reading and enjoy the football.

I'm sick and tired of...
...yep you guessed it feeling sick and tired. I am so fed up with coeliac disease at the moment and feeling exhausted when all I wanna do is feel my best. I know I said daily updates (best intentions ect...) but life gets in the way. I will try to update more often. And if you read this blog please leave a message on the guestbook http://www.whedonverse.co.uk/ for all I know I'm talking to myself (what's new?)
Anyway back to my day. I was supposed to go to the dentist (my dad was giving me a lift to the next town) but I was just too damn tired. Or mind blowingly exhausted. So, I asked him to turn the car around and I went back to bed. True story. I phoned the dentist and told them I had flu like symptoms which was pretty close to the truth. Anyway, I've been feeling out of it all day.
Sometimes I think I'm never gonna recover from this thing. My doctors tell me it takes between six months to two years and it's been about 3 months + At the same time I'm still trying to work out what's causing my eczema. I ate a yogurt and I was itching (pectin?) I ate a banana and I was itching. Could be those, or it could be dust, latex or rice. I haven't narrowed it down. I ate orange's and tomato's and I was fine so I can't see the citrus fruit connection. Could be plums or peaches though? Argggghhhhh! Who knows?
"who here watches deal or no deal?" Intern raises hand Dr Cox "get out"
I love scrubs and I've finished the s8 boxset in the last few days. Brilliant. I had to import it as it still hasn't been shown in the UK. E4 get your fucking finger out! Inc was a bonus disc - the castle pilot (great stuff) I'm gonna have to order it and Leverage (Christian is so cool)
I just watched the Buffyverse panel videos (link on whedonverse) from Dragoncon. Funny funny stuff (esp James and Charisma) and Julie Benz is adorable. I told her so on twitter so I'll see if I get a reply. I got a short message from Amber Benson saying that she was looking forward to my tweets (which was cool)
The site is coming along nicely. Hi SJ, thanks for the guestbook message. The forum should have a brand new logo soon (the winner of the competition) and I'm really proud of the hits it's been getting. Vote in the polls! Jewel (or should I say Kaylee) is walking this one again!
The advertising is making nothing but hey I don't do this for the money. Just the love of Joss' work. Until tomorrow... take care and be excellent to each other. Snooch. Two movie references in one...

It's been a few days...
I've been fairly busy updating the website over the last few days. If you've visited Whedonverse then you'll know what I mean. You'd be forgiven for thinking you've been on a crazy roller-coaster ride!
The pictures and headings have been in several different fonts and scattered all over the place. And don't get me started on the logo! I apologise for all of the changes but I've finally found the right look! Phew... I love it and I hope you like it too!
I got a twitter message from the gorgeous Jewel Staite (Kaylee on Firefly) today. I told her that she won this weeks poll (Who do you want to see the most on Dollhouse?) She replied "Yay! Does Joss Boss know?" I told her that I'm working on that! I intend to write to Joss' agent and ask him if he would like to make Whedonverse an official Joss Whedon fan site. Fingers crossed :)
It's the Big Brother finale in the UK tomorrow. It's been really disapointing lately. All the big characters have gone. I want Siavash to win (he was great at the start until the Norin thing) I think after that he's been trying to impress the public (and failing) with his fair play nomination tactics. Sites are reporting that Sophie and Siavash are favourite to win. I wouldn't mind it if Sophie won (she doesn't think she's going to) but she has lousy taste in Men (Kris)
I watched Goodfellas today - great movie. I've been watching random Buffy episodes. The Freshman, Hush, Chosen... all the best episodes. I've been watching Dr Horrible way too much and listening to the musical commentary. I had better then Neil and Nobodies Asian in the movies stuck in my head for days! I've also been watching WWE, Chuck, True Blood, Knight Rider (new) Smallville, Frasier, Lost and Battlestar (new)
Leave a comment on the guestbook and feel free to start a new discussion on the Bronze!
Until tomorrow... I'm still cookie dough...
