bored in the barrel

I didn’t workout yesterday. It totally sucked, I did what I said I wouldn’t do anymore. I put off even a short bout of me getting fit for something else that didn’t get completed anyway.
Today when I get home, I’m hitting it hard. I have to, I have to be able to [...]

hmmm… this is a tough one, folks. I think we may have a tie here.
Contestant #1:
White Camry #PNP 9805
I don’t quite understand you, asshat #9805. Why, exactly, are you rolling through the intersection at the stoplight? Are you truly in THAT much of a hurry to do your 35mph in the 55 [...]

I have a trainer now, and soon so will Otto. My first session will be friday, and I’m pretty sure the boy is looking forward to kicking my ass. Dammit. It’ll be an A/B workout, since at the moment I don’t think that I can really commit to more than 2 days [...]

This is not something I needed to see, Otto.
Fuck you. Right in the fucking ear.
Here you go, something for your trouble.

The Happy Tree Friends theme song is still stuck in my head. It’s freekin awesome, like I’m going insane but in a reeeely good way.

I’ve got to say… Suicide Girls first tour DVD… not all that. Yes, been a bit since we watched it, but I’m just remembering it now. [...]

So, we went to Maggiano’s so that I didn’t have to cook. It was good, we have lots of leftovers, and that’s that. I was gonna have a decent sized entry, but really there’s nothing much to say and I have plenty of other things to do.
For the past… I don’t know how [...]

Awefully spammy emails the last few days, much more than normal. I think (forgot to look, don’t really give a shit anyway) they came to my roadrunner account, which I don’t actually use anyway. Every single one comes with a zip file, “from” such clever places as office at fbi dot gov… (”your [...]

and tomorrow is another day…

Completely and totally bored. No homework, except my “self portrait,” no papers to write, no presentations to give… nothing. Only one day of school next week, because lab tuesday is nothing really, so I won’t be going. Then wed, thurs, fri off… so, really I have one day next week, with nothing [...]

Damn I love Drawn Together.
Although, trying to get Tom Cruise to come out of the closet was reeeely up there…

My calves started hurting last night at bedtime, and they still do. So, being that friday, sunday, monday, and tuesday I did something, I’m taking tonight off. Last night was especially brutal, so I don’t feel badly. Well, until today.. I didn’t have money, so went to the bookstore to get food, [...]

20 minutes on the elliptical, 10 at level 15, 10 at level 10, hr 165. Was gonna do 30 min, but then I didn’t eat as well as I should have earlier, so I was starting to not feel well. No big deal, still got going good.
Lockerroom is crowded at 415-445… lots of [...]

It’s a full moon tonite. And there is a positively lovely halo around the moon, at about half the sky out. And mars is so very close to the moon that the only reason it can be seen is that it’s so bright.
Positively breath taking. I could have stood there all night, [...]

elliptical 20 min HR 150
Although it said (the machine) that it took nearly 9 minutes to reach target hr of 152, I don’t buy it. It was giving me flakey readings early on.

At the moment I’d have to say, one of the best sources of motivation to work out is just listening to and watching stuff about it. Not reading. Not really. Especially when other people are bored, frustrated, and unmotivated themselves, reading that shit can be a total drag. But… Listening, or [...]
