Wear Clean Draws  (because there’s 5 million ways to kill a ceo)

I almost called this edition, “NOw, where was I?” because it feels like it’s been forever. And it sorta has. R got sick with the flu last week, then I got it Friday and was sick all weekend and Monday. Dragged my ass to work Tuesday since, with this economy, better keep on your toes […]

lord. was i dawg tarred friday night. i’d gotten up early, hit the gym, walked home and enjoyed, yes!, the cold weather. it’s been warm, then cold, then warm, then cold for two weeks now. but still, yesterday had that frosty feel in the air, almost like home. you know when the grass is still […]

So, I dragged my ass out of bed bright and early to get some time in at the gym — having forgotten that I had an appointment with the gym trainer, which was part of my sign up deal. It was nice walking early in the morning but I am going to have R dig […]

I discovered a feminist book club in the area and went to my first meeting Tuesday night. I hadn’t read the book, but it gave me a chance to meet the women involved. It was great to sit around and talk, though I had a lot of disagreements. I found myself bringing in analyses that […]

back to training, folks. while i’ve been walking to work everyday, and walking at lunch, putting in about 2.5 - 3.5 miles a day, i decided that i need to get back to lifting. i’d gotten out of the habit after moving here in june because the old gym was a little out of the […]

been busy. r celebrated the night he found out so that, when i got home, it was difficult to carry on much of a conversation. after work tonight, i stopped at the YUPPIE market on the way home and bought something special for dinner, not sure if he’d want to check out the bbq joint […]

yip yip yippee. r finally got a job. i’ve alluded to being a little more than bogged down by life stuff. part of it has been related to the lack of jobseeking action in this household. to the point where i decided to leave this relationship. for this week, anyway, we’re focused on the […]

i really ought to sit down and write about my weekend away since I spent time at IKEA, a store my former boss urged me to visit. The place was fascinating in so far as I’ve concluded that it’s like this big 3D version of a Web site, with an interesting User Interface designed to […]

Absolutely nothing exciting going on. I’m just working and reading Matilda’s (AKA MAtt Bernstein’s) edited collection of essays, Nobody Passes. I’ve enjoyed it so far, though M’s distaste for academia irritated a wee bit — though I surely understand it. I guess I’ve been sheltered. I can’t imagine why anyone would think that Bernstein has […]

tonight, my crush kickboxing instructor wasn’t there. her substitue, Julie, is an instructor i’ve never had. oh. my. fucking. dog. she kicked my ass in. after 45 minutes, I scooted out of there with the intention of doing ab crunches and back extensions, and maybe 20 on the treadmill. I managed the ab crunches, got […]

woo! my instructor remembered me. she is aware i exist! whee. this woman is so cute. i left class early. i don’t bother with the, uh, “strength training” portion because I lift. And lifting with stupid ass 5lb dumbbells is kind of a joke and a waste of my time. So, after class I headed […]

Damn. I was so glad it was Friday today, mostly because it’s been a week of tedious ass shit to do at work. Ugh. Although I did get rewarded for taking it on: they’re sending me to some official PHP certification classes so I can drop that in my resume. My next goal is to […]

yeah. yeah. I’m sorry I have nothing fabulous to say. All my time is now being taken up with training physically or training, uh, mentally? As to the later, I say ‘uh’ because I am taking some company training courses. Hence, instead of reading books or arguing politics, I’m reading management ideology such as theories […]

man. I just sat here for an hour mawing (mauing? rhymes with chowing) down some green beans, sausage, cheese, and tomato sauce — my impromptu casserole because we didn’t go shopping and the pickens are slim — in terms of quickie meals. I listened to the aspiring Liars In Chief saying the most idiotic shit. […]

Definitely feeling the DOMS today. Morning wasn’t bad. It’s sitting for a couple of hours, then getting up. oiy. And man, after two short sessions of cardio, am and pm, then kickboxing, my thighs are burning. She made us do — i don’t know what they’re called — but it burns my […]
