Unfortunately Overcooked


I understand it's important to strike the iron while it's hot, and that pretty women in Hollywood have a very early expiration date.
Still, she's not half as good as they tried to make her, and she has not half the star power as they tried to convince us.

That's unfortunate because she could have had a Johnny Depp like carreer:
he was hot looking, yet was not famous for that, and never tried to be in the next blockbuster vehicle. What distinguished him was his talent for impersonating interesting characters.

Jennifer Lawrence has a lot of talent, and I wish she focused on that and her carreer focused on interesting roles, instead of simply trying to make J Law the highest paid actress (for a very brief period in time).

At this point she's sorely overexposed and overcooked, and that's too bad.
I wouldn't even know how she can get out of this trend and become an interesting actor (other than for producers looking for a "name").

Know the feeling.

Last week I was doing a half marathon. Can usually hold a 6 minute mile pace throughout to get in around 1:18sh.

Unfortunately I was brash, felt good and thought I could mix it with the big boys, slammed in 5:10 for the third mile. Yeah, it felt good at the time but boy did I pay for it later. Literally limped it home...

Overcooked it completely. Very important to pace yourself correctly otherwise it will come back to bite you. Every. Time.
