bored in the barrel

Or, at the store, at least. I went shopping last night, and there was a nice woman in the way in the egg area, having just put a carton of eggs in her cart and was looking at whatever was next to the eggs. (I say nice because she excused herself and moved [...]

Is my max weight for one rep on squat. I’m in pain now, my shoulders didn’t appreciate my bench attempt, which sucked because it’s lower than what I did last year for reps, but I’m good with it. Last 1RM I haven’t found yet but it was about 2 years ago and it [...]

There are things that help you on your way to your goals. There are things that hinder your way to your goals. And, of course, there are the things that do neither, but then again if it’s not helping then in a way it’s hindering, isn’t it? So, in order to be [...]

So, I’ve been keeping logs (semi-regularly, usually when I’m “serious” about fitness) for a number of years now. I started losing in April/May 2002… I have a weight log starting in June of 02 putting me at 186 (which I currently can’t find right now). I have logs for weights, measurements, food, workouts, [...]

You’re such a donkey porker.

Merry whatever it might be you celebrate this time of year, if anything. We don’t, but most people do and so I hope your celebrations were happy and fun and stress free.

There’s this tendency to get scared of messing up when using canvas or good drawing paper. It’s somehow special… precious. It’s [...]

I don’t know (nor want to know) why you keep searching Google for that term, but I really wish you’d stop clicking on my blog. It’s creeping me out. I’m not even on the damn first page of google’s list. Just bookmark JWZs site and be done with it please. Might [...]

years.
Yesterday was our anniversary. We went out to Raleigh Times with some friends, played video games, and Otto’s back felt better.
Being on vacation is nice.

We’d been looking to see where the hunts are (clan hunts) for Final Fantasy 12, and the one listed for Carrot here (Carrot, #39) is lacking in helpful info. I don’t know if it ends up being random, but we found him in “The sun-dappled path” in Salikawood. It looks like a giant [...]

After emailing my bio instructor she looked into it and fixed my grade, meaning, if I read her right, that I wind up with an A (she said something about rounding up grades), but even if not I still get a B which is waay better than C, because it doesn’t pull my GPA down.
So, [...]

My grades for the semester are posted. I’m a bit confused and worried, because it seems that the online program used to take the bio course online screwed up my grade, giving me a 5 instead of a 43 on a test (out of 50) that effectively lowers my grade in that class from [...]

One big difference between when I get somewhere in my goals and when I stagnate and don’t is attitude. It’s really easy to get where you want to be when you only focus on yourself and don’t give a shit about the rest of the world. But as I gather and go out [...]

I fucking hate it.
I fucking hate like… GAH!
My standards are too high. Sure. Known problem. No biggie.
But modesty means it’s wrong to be or feel special. You’re supposed to be modest, not confident that you’re pretty or smart or sexy or talented or skilled or anything that makes you better than [...]

Ah…. fun, fun times.
A couple years ago, before Otto and I got married, I think… Before name changes and weight loss and house buying… We spent a goodly amount of time gaming with some people. It was a pretty decent campaign, though it would frequently irritate the shit out of me. Like [...]

I really feel much better. I slept ok last night. Not awesome, but I think there might be something wrong, I never sleep all that awesome. Still, it was good. No waking in the middle of the night or anything like that. Alarm woke me up at 730 and I [...]

So I’m searching for something, a link I once had that I lost and I was hoping maybe I’d find it in one of my old posts on ftbm, so I go looking. I come across, in the lists of my posts:

Don’t do it with pants.
It likes to be all squirley and slip around, [...]

After finishing my paper and handing it in and getting home and eating and not having had more than a few hours sleep I decided to go for a “run.” 1.24 miles, just over 16 minutes, I think, no heart-rate monitor since I couldn’t find it. It totally sucked dude. I’m not [...]

Done. Handed in my paper at about 2:30, and now I can officially fucking relax. So, I’m running up stairs, changing, and heading out for a run. Then I’m prolly gonna completely crash because I’m working on 3 hours of sleep after getting up yesterday at 7. I think if I [...]

One of the reasons I’m such a “procrastinator” is because of the way my irritating brain seems to work when I have a problem or something due or something that I’m working on. My fucking brain won’t let the damn thing go. I have a hard time sleeping because I constantly wake up [...]

My new word. Thanks FFXII!
