I had a wake up call when I stepped on the scale in August and it told me I weighed 165 pounds. I'm 5'2", that's way too much, so I knew I needed to make some changes. The puppy has been really good at helping in the exercise department.
Yeah, you do need to see Kubo. One of the better animated movies I've seen. I rented it from Amazon (I'm really bad about taking movies back to Red Box, even though we have one in the store I work at) for $3.99 for the SD version. I thought it was worth the price. The other good animated movie I watched recently was Song of the Sea. That one was free with Prime, if you happen to have Prime.
As for the music, it was all over the place. It's one of those piped in channels that we have no control over. Billie Jean by Michael Jackson ( a song I loathe, by the way), Stepping Out by Joe Jackson (a favorite back in high school), Take On Me - A-Ha (love that one, too), and I think there was some Billy Idol playing when I was grabbing dinner at the hot bar. I don't remember what it was, but I was amusing the little old lady standing next to me because I was singing along out loud. Now that I think about it, it's probably all top 40 stuff because I remember it all from listening to the radio back when I was in high school.
The problem with DQ Heroes is it's really just battles and a central hub where you can buy better equipment and make upgrades. There's a bare-bones generic story and you recruit characters from previous DQ games at various points, etc, but I'm only into the third area and it's gotten old already. I really should have read some reviews before I bought the game. Oh, well. At least it was only twenty bucks.
