Here, there be cute lovable dragons who chase laser pointers.

Yesterday I finally got a chance to see How to Train Your Dragon, and I loved it~
It was such a sweet story and the characters were all so enjoyable and endearing, with emphasis on Hiccup and Toothless in particular. Toothless is by far the most adorable dragon in the history of ever -- it's like they took this cute little chibi-deformed looking dragon body and stuffed the soul of an oversized house cat into it. While browsing DeviantArt, I came across this quick scribble that made me laugh because it so accurately portrayed my own experience in the theatre with my big soppy tears the instant the dragon-befriending montage began. (Art by BehindtheVeil.) It's been a while since I've seen an animated movie that I've enjoyed so thoroughly, much less a 3D animated film whose computer sculpted characters I've instantly loved and wanted to see more of. It makes me want to draw fan art! :B
I have a confession. Over the last week or so I've sort of, um, stopped doing my exercise regiment... I was doing really good for a couple of weeks and then I shirked my workout one day due to a headache and then never picked it up again. I'm a slave to habit, but I break it once and can't ever get it back afterwards. ^^; So yeah, a little ashamed at how pathetic I am at keeping any type of fitness goal. Maybe it's a sign of some sort that I'm forever destined for limp, weak, noodley arms.
Holy crap, how did you go this long without seeing this movie? I was so shocked I didn't even read the rest of the post before jumping to post this.
It's like it was made FOR YOU.
Now that I've read the rest of the post, I'll share my experience with exercise regimenting:
No exercise regimen ever works if you don't enjoy the exercise you're doing. You need to find some kind of a workout that's either functional and achieves something OTHER than exercise, or it needs to be something you naturally take joy in.
For me, the things that fit that were cycling and swimming respectively. Running on a treadmill never worked for me, and weight lifting has only ever worked when I was already in the habit of regular exercise otherwise and it was an easy way to get a similar high.
I tried to see it a couple of times before now, but it always got canceled last moment on me. I finally beseeched my Mom to go to it with me the other night in a sort of pathetic "OMG will someone PLEASE see this movie with me?" D: plea. It was worth the wait though!
I actually don't really mind the exercises I was doing on the Wii, especially the stretches before and after which I found very relaxing. I also enjoy swimming, but it costs money to go to the pool and/or get a rec center membership -- plus I only really crave a good swim every once and a while, so the rest of the time I'd have to force myself out of my house to go. =_=
Other than that I just don't really like exercise. ^^; Even the stuff I do like initially has sort of a point where the novelty wears off and then it's like any other type of physical exertion. :P
