-_-.

Buffy has a HUUUUUGE following. Like, seriously. It's inSANE. Not quite Star Wars & Star Trek-style following, but huge nonetheless. I've actually only seen one Buffy magazine, and that was back when I was in 5th grade. But they're still around.

The Spice Girls had a magazine at one point, too. I had an issue. Woot.

I loved it when Sean Hannity was bragging about being voted the most wanted TV news personality to pose for Playgirl during the DNC, then Al Franken walked up to him and said it must be quite an ego boost to have hoards of gay men wanting to see his "pee-pee."

At the monent none, but I buy every issue of UNCUT. And I used to subscribe to TIME, but stopped a few years ago.

Deanna, Pilates will kick your abs! It is SO intense a workout for your mid-section. I have several DVD's with different workouts on them and they are tough, but I love 'em. One of the workouts is only butt/thighs, but I haven't done it yet. I think you'll like it.

That sounds like what I'm looking for!! So perhaps I'll do the pilates for all that and yoga for relaxation and such...I get to go to all these class at my gym - they're all included in the price...so its fabulous!!!

Thanks for the info

What an interesting question! Well, I've subscribed to various magazines over the years, but currently I subscribe to:

Redbook - I really love this magazine. Great articles most of the time; great interviews with celebrities.

ESPN - I actually won a six-month subscription to this magazine, & I'm not really happy with it. It's mostly pictures & not articles. I won't be renewing it.

TV Guide - Maybe not exactly a magazine, but besides TV listings, they have nice articles in it.

Oh, I love Pilates. I tried Yoga & I couldn't lose anything. I got a Pilates video this past winter when I wanted to lose about five pounds. With this & changing my diet, I actually had to stop doing it since I'm more active in the summer. I was losing too much weight with riding my bike & walking my dog, all in my butt & thighs. And it helped my back. (I have osteoarthritis in my spine.) I may have to start it back up this winter if I start gaining weight again.

I'm a magazine addict. I subscribe to:

Allure
Elle
Entertainment Weekly
In Style
Lucky
Marie Claire
New York Magazine
People
Premiere
Real Simple
Self
Shopping, etc. (that's a new magazine that just debuted)
TV Guide
US
Vanity Fair
Vogue
Mother Jones
the Nation

Then I usually end up buying several more at the book store when I make my weekly visits there, mostly decorator magazines, along with Time and Newsweek, and uh. . .the tabloids. I have a weakness for In Touch and Star--lots of pictures that are easy to look at when I'm on the treadmill.

And btw, I have one of those pilates reformer things. I haven't used it lately, but sure need to. It is very relaxing and does help give you more flexibility and definition.

Do you know how hard The Nation is to find in a bookstore? I had to subscribe to it to ever even get my hands on an issue! Of course, if I didn't live in Repugville. . . it might be a different story. There are always 999 conservative publications around but it's mighty damn hard to get your hands on a liberal magazine in these parts!

I'm happy to report that Hannity did NOT win. Keith Olbermann from MSNBC's Countdown won. I love KO. He actually admitted on his show last week that he didn't vote for B/C in 2000. Like we hadn't already figured that out from watching his show. He rocks!

As far as meeting people - nothing yet - but I've not made any real effort - I actually found this group called RATS (Rochester Area Twenty-Somethings) it's a young professional group - they do community volunteer stuff, social night etc....it's for random young, out of college professionals...it is NOT a singles group lol...but I'm going to go to an event they're having this weekend- hopefully I'll meet some interesting people that way...

I figure I have to go to the yoga more than once but eventually could meet people there - they all seemed like a neat group...

How long have you been doing yoga?

RATS sound pretty cool. I've been doing Yoga since I was about 21 or 22, so, what, 8 years? Not super consistently - I would say medium consistent. Pilates is great for you, and actually, yoga and pilates are great compliments to each other. good luck with that! I think Pilates is a pretty, shall we say 'thorough' (meaning hard) workout. Your legs and butt should be tiptop in no time!
Are you liking your job, and being a real grownup, and everything?

I've never seen it in a bookstore either. And it's MUCH cheaper to subscribe than pay $3 an issue!

I LOVE OLBERMANN! And his ratings are soaring, too!

eh I think I'm just going through a rough transition phase right now - I'm just not all that happy and such - but I know it will pass- I just need to get used to things...being a grownup etc...hha...

I think things will also get better once I meet some people...it'll make this place feel less solitary ya know?

Yeah - I never really had to transition with no one around...I like being alone, but it can be depressing to know that, after you leave work, you'll just be at your house by yourself and stuff. On the other hand, being that alone could make you feel free, in a way - You could be however you want and there is no one there that knew you before. Do you have a best friend from before that you call and stuff? I hope so...and I hope your job isn't boring... Well, all the exercise you're doing will make you happier, endorphins and all, so that's good...
