Honey

Captain’s Log, Stardate 05.18.2005

I just saw the movie “Honey” with Jessica Alba. Loved the dancing. Except for a few cuss words and some sexually suggestive dance moves, it’s a lot like a feel-good Disney movie. A bit cheesy but cute. One of the people in the show compared it to a nu generation “Fame.” The dancing lifts it to a higher level of entertainment than “The Bad News Bears.”

I especially enjoyed listening to the dialogue and the modern language used. It’s also one of the reasons I sometimes read Cosmo articles, to get a feel for the pomo terms and talk. I just can’t get that if I stay in my own corner of the US. I feel more in touch with the audience I’m writing for, the generation that includes my high school kids at church.

Writing: Working on my suspense proposal, I need to finish my chapter-by-chapter synopsis. I might walk with the dog later to brainstorm more ideas for my Hawaii Chicklit.

Diet: Did some weight training yesterday and today (different muscle groups). My scale says the same. :( I need to remember that melting this fat away will take time and perseverance. I need to keep this motivation to exercise, and I need to redevelop my eating habits to make better choices, have more self-control.
