SoHo & SoLo Lingo 8/17

This week's word is "brilliant". Now I know what you're thinking... "SoLo, that is not something that you made up. Everyone knows what 'brilliant' means!" Well, let me assure you that this ain't what you think!


This weekend I had the unwanted opportunity to tell someone just how "brilliant" they are! There's this know-it-all person I know & love, but who shall remain nameless. This person can't be told a thing & can't learn anything from anyone. This person made a very stupid, costly & embarrassing decision last week but rather than take responsibility, this person blamed everyone for what happened - everyone except the person who's fault it actually was! So I said that this person is "brilliant", sarcastically of course, because this was the most stupid thing I'd ever seen!


You can use brilliant anytime someone you know does something amazingly stupid and ignorant beyond belief! So go ahead, tell someone you know how "brilliant" they are LOL!

Movie Night!! Bring on the popcorn! 8/17

Last Saturday, the world of comedy (and the world in general) lost a very funny man - Bernie Mac. I've seen lots of his movies but, just today, had the opportunity to watch Guess Who. I laughed from the time it came on to the minute it went off! So, in honor of the King of Comedy, we bring you Guess Who for our "Movie Night" pick of the week!

GUESS WHO

starring the late, great Bernie Mac - I pray your soul is with God

Synopsis

When Theresa (Zoë Saldaña) brings fiancé Simon Green (Ashton Kutcher) home for her parents’ 25th wedding anniversary, she’s neglected to mention one tiny detail - he’s white. Determined to break his daughter’s engagement, Percy Jones (Bernie Mac) does everything he can to make Simon feel “apart” of the family, from running his credit report to locking him in the basement at night. But when Percy gleefully exposes Simon’s most embarrassing secret, it leads to an outrageous series of comic complications that only goes to prove that with a dad like Percy Jones, father doesn’t always know best.

Are you inspired? 8/17

This week's inspirational quote is a simple one that has actually inspired me all my life. So many times people complain about things that have happened in their lives as if no one else in the world goes through crap except them. Whining will get you nowhere! If there is an obstacle you've been faced with, do what you can to make the best out of a bad situation! Don't give up or have a pity party! If you seem to always run into problems or trials in your life, keep pressing forward because as long as you keep going, something good is bound to happen - REMEMBER... it can't get worse!

If someone has hurt you or done something wrong to you, it's hard to live with... TRUST ME! I KNOW! Whatever they did/said/etc. is out of your control. You can't change that but what you can change is how you react. You can take matters into your hands and do the right thing or you can whine about it. If you whine about it, the end result is on you and you can no longer blame the other person! If you turn that bad ordeal around and do something positive, then that end result is also on you & believe me, you'll be way more happy with yourself than if you just "wimped out"! My quote for the week...

"DEAL WITH IT! I GOT TO!"

Line by Craig (Ice Cube) in the movie Friday After Next

PILATES
"Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness." Joseph Pilates

What is the Pilates Method?
Imagine an exercise program that keeps you always wanting more, always looking forward to the next workout. Imagine a workout that leaves you refreshed and alert with a sense of accomplishment, and a feeling of physical and mental well being. The Authentic Pilates Method™ of body conditioning does all this... and more.

Joseph H. Pilates, the legendary physical trainer, developed the Pilates Method™ in the 1920's as an exercise system that creates flexibility and strength for the entire body. He believed that physical and mental health were completely dependant upon one and other.

The Authentic Pilates Method™ is not just exercise; It is a series of very precise, controlled movements that fully engage the body and mind. These movements are performed on exercise apparatus which was designed to support and guide the body through its ultimate transformation. Programs are tapered uniquely to each individual and their needs through the watchful and experienced eye of a superiorly qualified Authentic Pilates™ instructor.

Feeling Good 8/17

Vitamin C

Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) may be used to prevent low body levels (deficiency) of this vitamin. Ascorbic acid is needed to maintain the health of skin, cartilage, teeth, and blood vessels, and to promote proper bone growth. Most people who eat a normal diet do not need extra ascorbic acid.
Vitamin C deficiency may occur in certain health conditions (e.g., poor nutrition, diet lacking citrus fruit/vegetables, alcoholism). Serious ascorbic acid deficiency may cause a condition called scurvy, resulting in bleeding problems, tooth loss, and heart problems, among others. It is also used to help preserve the health of body cells (as an antioxidant).

Ascorbic acid plays a more critical role in maintaining good health if you are a person with diabetes than with perhaps any other disorder except a major viral illness. It combats, through potent antioxidant protection, the constant assault on your tissues that high blood sugar causes, strengthens the integrity of small blood vessels (where so much of the damage of diabetes occurs), improves carbohydrate tolerance, and reduces the "bad" kind of cholesterol and triglycerides (another blood fat).

A MAIN CHARACTER WILL DIE!!!

A MAIN PRISON BREAK CHARACTER WILL DIE THIS SEASON!! ANY GUESSES AS TO WHO??
Check out what Kristin from E! Online says... By the way, feel free to comment as to who you think will die this season. And thank you SoLo for the "feel better wishes" that wish must have worked cuz I am doing hella better now. Anyway, ENJOY!!!! Oh I (SoHo) don't watch PB anymore but I am gonna guess it's that one guy that is moving onto another show. I don't remember what his real name is or who he plays on PB but I remember posting a spoiler about him! Oh, wait... I think his name is Chris Vance, Whistler on the show. I also think it could be Sofia since she's not in the new PB promo pics... What do you think??

"It's true. A Fox rep for Prison Break confirms to me that one (or two!) of the show's main characters will die in the season premiere, which airs Sept 1 at 8 p.m.—at least one actor is leaving the series for good.

So who is it? That is a secret producers desperately want to protect (and for good reason, 'cause it's a good surprise), but I can tell you that both of these potential dead bodies are in fact hot bodies, and will be missed. Feel free to post your theories and try to figure it out in the comments below.

Meanwhile, executive producer Zack Estrin gives us this exclusive look at two new characters who will be filling the shoes of the departed:

'We have a new character, known simply as Wyatt (Cress Williams), who is the Company guy who is trying to track them this year. He is the guy with the gun who is hot on our guys' tail. Because when the season begins, there is a cover story that our guys are placed into a SuperMax prison, and slowly but surely clues are coming out that they aren't in there-that they're up to something else maybe. This guy's job is to find out what they're really up to.'

'Another new character is a hacker named Roland. Our team has learned to have some level of trust among each other, or at least they know everyone else's agenda, but this is a new guy they're forced to work with, and they're not sure how they feel about him, but they need his expertise in the technological stuff that our guys don't necessarily do.'

I met James Hiroyuki Liao, who plays Roland, while on set last week and can tell you he's great in the role—and really gets under Michael and Lincoln's skin. Who doesn't love an Asian guy with a thick Brooklyn accent? "
