Keeping on the straight and marrow - 10 / 10 thread - all welcome

[FrannyandZooey]

For anyone who wants a boost to their general health. The suggested goals are:

EAT 10 PORTIONS OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES EVERY DAY - if you don't usually eat much fruit and veg I would build up gradually or you could upset your digestion.

DO (AT LEAST) 10 MINUTES OF EXERCISE EVERY DAY - can be yoga, stretching or something more energetic. The plan is that the idea of doing 10 minutes is not too daunting, and having started you may well find you want to do more.

There are no restrictions on what you eat so long as you get your 10 fruit and veg as well. The focus is not on weight loss but on improving our energy levels and hopefully our general mood and well-being. Sign up below and post here to tell us how you're getting on and how you are feeling.

Well ideally I'd like there to be a marvellous array of people to talk to and some of them to be very odd, and others to be neurotic and I want two of them to have an affair over the next six weeks, and for something strange and terrible to happen one week which we can all talk about in hushed whispers.

I don't think there will be stickers. I am expecting liver treats.

you forgot someone for you to have a crush on

are you actually going to a class or just making it up

I think the fake thing is that they are self-appointedly quirky and interesting - but actually aren't. Something like that? I loathed Royal T. - zany and wacky and UNTRUTHFUL and therefore NOT FUNNY. Little Miss Sunshine - funnier, but all those characters worked out on a screen writers programme. Self-help guru - can't help himself
Mute son - eventually speaks.
I just found them both fake, because SO contrived and untruthful. Whereas Juno was sort of artificial in its dialogue - but you believed it sprang out of her, and was truthful and original in its way.

Sort of like that. Am not being very clear, am also doing a Y3 project on a volcano. It is very demanding.

i mean like fiction writing

Avi I just realised, you might have liked reassurance and sympathy for your crappy day
it just sounded so bloody par for the course for life with a 2 year old that I almost completely ignored it, sorry

Yes I am going tonight! My first! But I'm not supposed to bring Johnny Jet tonight - he comes next week. I think there might be questions and bonding and hopefully chairs and maybe tea? I don't know. Am very happy - is in a church hall.

well I thought Juno was like that - totally fake - for about the first 10 minutes or something
as we said

i do know what you mean
can't remember thinking that about Royal Ts
mostly because I spent the film thinking WHO is that MAN? LOOK at his MOUTH

I think Boco's felting teacher might run the dog obedience classes on her night off

the last film i bought was

eastern promises

but i dont think you would like it

UR did you watch that Darjeeling thingy? Any good?

I watched some of that Zip. I don't think Franny would either.

Oooh but you might like the Busker film, Always. Have you seen that?

I didn't find either untruthful particularly, although didn't really think of the truth of it. Royal T looked nice, I really liked the way it looked adn the pace of it.
I liked the way the self help guru was completely unlikable and irritating and stupid, but by the end you like him so much.

I love all of Wes Andersons characters because I find them SO truthful - they're so flawed and a bit crap but still basically nice and a bit naive and lovable, even if they're shits. There's something very true about them.

I lent life aquatic to a friend whose husband couldn't watch it because he said it was wacky zany nonsense. I think maybe we just have very different taste in films.

Oh I think I like wacky zany nonsense
I like it better than deep disturbing things atm anyway

what is Always? I don't think I know anything about it?

Hi guys, Well I haven't done too bd on fruit and veg today(8) but i think other than that i have only managed chocolate and wine
my 2 year old is teething and 3 year old is trying to show how independant she can be aaahhh.

did you like hideous kinky

I didn't like sunshine one but want to watch life aquatic and maude, they're on my list.

Am seeing consultant Friday morning now.

Oh no, it was called Once, not Always! Hah. I think you might like that - not sure though.

I think you might like Little Miss S more.

my hand is so sore and so filthy

it is going to impede my weekend isnt it

i am trying to disguise the fact that i have had no f anv d

I liked Hideous Kinky but preferred the book. What was that other one she was in where she became part of a religious cult?

FRIDAY.

That's better isn't it? I mean its sooner so the waiting isn't so bad, but then it is very soon. Are you pleased? Do you feel sick?

didi 8 is very reputable

MrsC glad you are seeing someone on Friday

Oh with Harvey Keitel? Can't remember what it was called.

isnt the book always better tho?

raise the red lantern is good but i dont think you can get it on dvd unless isout recently
