bored in the barrel

So, we’re revisiting the idea of the floors downstairs. We’ve also thought about pulling up the vinyl upstairs in the baths. But anyway, for the wood. We’re thinking of going with unfinished. And getting someone else to do the sanding. The stain and topcoats we can do just fine ourselves, [...]

Every once in a while I manage to get the ingredients just right in a recipe such that the servings it splits into is a whole number. When I make Otto’s meals, the ingredients are measured, cooked, and then the total amount is divided up such that each meal is 500 calories. Usually, [...]

Strippers raise money for schools
HA.
The funniest part, to me, is at the end where the guy is like we “don’t condone stripping for schools.” Yet they take the fucking money. I hate the hypocrisy implicit in saying something that you think is the fucking moral high ground and yet by your actions implicitly [...]

Monday. And since I only have classes monday and wednesday, with the exception of my online course, I’m effectively on vacation… sorta.
Holy shit does Mousie have bad breath. She’s just decided to clamber all over me, chew my hair, breathe her stinky breath in my face, cover my clothes with hair, and knead [...]

Hmm… just read something that kinda irritated me, and made me worry about the someone to whom it pertains. And since I’m in the middle of my project and am getting doubly annoyed that some thoughts keep bouncing around in my head, I needed to sort of get it off my chest. Even [...]

Damn, ok. So, the real reason I want a Fry’s around here is that I didn’t get to look around much when we were in Chicago. We were there with Otto’s dad, on our way to a family gathering (which there was one of every. damn. day.) and only got to spend 15 [...]

And want to see if you’re cursing your kid with a name that’s so popular they won’t be able to swing a cat without hitting someone with their exact same name?
Baby Name Wizard
Heh.
Mostly I’ve found that all my friends growing up had really popular names when they were born… we all had names peaking in [...]

Hopefully…
That ravenous hunger seems to have died down yesterday, and I ended up consuming barely 1300 calories. I just mostly wasn’t hungry… that or I seemed to be not hungry by comparison. So, while yesterday my weight had popped back up because I just HAD to have something to eat right before bed [...]

This, is awesome.
In addition to the fact that 2 female bonobos will rub their clitorises together in a reconciliation ritual, male bonobos will hang from branches and penis fence.
Yes, they will take their erect willies and rub and thwack them against each other in a “kiss and make up” kind of way.
Now, whenever I see [...]

I have been soooo fucking hungry… it’s getting pretty damned old. Nothing makes me feel better. It is fucking distracting as hell. And it hurts. Literally, it hurts my stomach. I’m not sure if it’s because of an increase in caloric expenditure or if I’ve suddenly got a fucking tape [...]

You know, it never does. Not with private people. We bottle up the big things, or we splurt all out, but in our real everyday lives. We don’t usually share the big shit with others. Especially the bad big shit, the personal big shit, and the big shit that concerns others.
Sure, [...]

They hurt my hip flexors. Maybe it’s an issue with stretching or warmup, but most cardio begins to hurt my hip flexors after a bit. Not an everlasting hurt, but a stiffness that makes long forms of cardio, regardless of speed (so long as it’s faster than a mosey), a pain. At [...]

So, as I’m not sure how much the medication I’m taking for my nerve feedback is helping, I’m gonna start tapering off of it. Last night (friday) was my first night of one pill a night, and I’ll do that for 10 days. Next step is one every other day for 10 more [...]

I’m not really one to live in the past. It’s mainly useless and all, it being past and whatnot…
But sometimes I do find myself sorta falling into habits that used to give me something, only to find that they no longer do, but I keep going back because at one point it did.
You know, [...]

I’m kinda annoyed/torn/apathetic/whatever about the design job I did a few months ago for someone who is about acquaintance level, but also kinda a friend of a friend sort of thing that also makes her at drinking buddy level.
I’d made up a 3×5 post card for her to be able to mail out announcing her [...]

Again.
February/March time frame our new gym will be open. We joined tonite. It better be fucking sweet….
Lifetime Fitness
Our O2 contract will be up by then, and this place is about as far, 24 hours, and has pools (since Otto wants to do triathlons….) Plus it’s like $130 for a vomax test and [...]

Life is filled with challenges. Whether you believe they are there as gifts from your god(s) or just a way for nature to separate the wheat from the chaff, they are there. We are constantly faced with challenges, from little ones to big ones. I honestly believe there isn’t much we can’t [...]

EW! I just had to share.
Over on theCauldron when spam posts appear they are deleted, made fun of, and people post spam recipes. This was one from today: Spam Cheesecake. That is fucking WRONG.
*vomit*

I’ve decided to not go to the gym today, even though I had planned to.
Just finished a workout that would normally be a lame-assed “let’s get back into lifting” workout that turned out pretty bad-assed when using Kit’s little formula of using cardio in between lifts. My lifts were light-weight supersets, the cardio was [...]

I’m gonna have to go back to plotting it. Because, frankly, it’s irritating. Normally, when I’m cutting I see the general downward trend. It may be up one day, but on the whole it doesn’t stay up and it goes nicely downward. Not so this time. This time my weight [...]
