What do you eat for lunch?

What do you do for lunch? It could be getting in the way of your weight-loss goals. Taking a few extra minutes in the morning could ensure that you aren’t wasting all that healthy eating for the rest of the day.

I am a big fan of the Bento Box style. Basically, you pack different foods in different tiny compartments. I like to make sure I have plenty of fruits and veggies. Traditional Bento Boxes have food that taste good cold, but I really like hot food, so you can add that option.

Another great option is soup, vegetable soup can last you months, you just have to freeze it after you make a big batch. We have big kitchens here at City Lights, so take advantage.

Eating well also has some fantastic options for lunch.

Did you like Avatar?

Avatar is the biggest film in movie history. I did not go and see it when it was in theaters, because lets face it, when the Av’s play, there is little else going on in my life. Well, lucky me because tomorrow Avatar is coming back to selected theaters and IMAX in 3-d along with some never before seen footage.

Did you like the film City Lights Residents? Will you go see it again in theaters?

Avatar is playing at the following theaters:

Harkins Northfield 18: 10:40, 2:30, 6:20, 10:02

United Artists Creek Creek in IMAX 3-D: 12:45, 4:15, 8:00

Sadly, Summer is almost over. Which means that Colorado is going to get pretty chilly, fast. If you are looking for a great indoor activity to get better at, why not try pool? We have a place for you to play right here at City Lights Apartments!

Pool is a pretty easy game to understand. You need at least 2 players, any more and you have to play in teams. After you break the table, you are either stripes or solids according to which was the first to get knocked in. You then try to put all of that type of ball in the pockets. If you get a ball in you get to go again, if not it is no longer your turn. (If you scratch, that is if the white cue ball goes in after your shot; it is no longer your turn.)

When all of you balls are in, you then get to try your luck on the 8 ball. If you scratch on this you lose. If you hit in the 8 before all your other balls, you lose. Some people like to make you call the pockets you are aiming for. I am not great so, I don’t do this.

Do you like having a pool table City Lights Residents?

Who is the resident Pool Shark?

Edward or Jacob?

Have you been itching to see what all the buzz is about with the Twilight series but you just can’t justify spending the money on a ticket? Or are you a huge fan, who is just waiting for a chance to see the first movie of the Saga on the big screen again?

Well, whether you are Team Edward or Team Jacob, you can all agree on one thing, seeing Twilight for free is awesome! Infinity Park in Glendale will show the vampire flick as the last movie in its summer movie series.

So this Monday (August 30th) pack a picnic and head to Infinity Park to get your teen angst on. Image via Wikipedia

Infinity Park is located 17 minutes from City Lights Apartments.

Did you watch Happy Days?

Did you love watching Happy Days when you were younger? Whether you say them when they first aired or have seen the reruns, Happy Days is one of the most iconic  television shows ever.

Well, loves of the Sock Hop, rejoice, Happy Days the Musical is coming to the Aurora Fox. All your favorite characters will be there, singing and dancing. The musical takes you back to 1959 Milwaukee. Arnold’s Malt Shop is in danger of closing so the gang organizes a dance contest and a wrestling match to try and save it. The show has received some pretty great reviews. And the Aurora Fox always does really great productions.

Happy Days will be playing at the Fox from September 18th-26th. 

Will you go see the show?

Dave Matthews

This weekend is the Annual Mile High Music Festival! This year’s festival will be taking place at the Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. There are some great acts this year! Tickets are $175 for both days or $99.50 for a one day pass if purchased in advance. If I had to pick only one day, I would go with Saturday, but that is just me.

The highlights on Saturday include: Jack Johnson, Rusted Root, Cypress hill, Phoenix, and Steve Miller Band. I am most excited about Phoenix, I have never seen the french band live. Did you know that the lead singer is dating  Sophia Coppola?

The highlights on Sunday include: Dave Matthews, Weezer and My Morning Jacket. I hope Weezer plays a lot of their old material. 

Are you going this year City Lights Residents? Who are you most looking forward to seeing?
