So one of my self-improvement projects over the last year has been to get a lot more serious about exercising regularly and effectively. You know what? It really does make you less depressed and all that good stuff.
Today was an unusual day at the gym in that I got onto one of the elliptical cardio machines, which are usually all taken. Hours later my...

I'm sorry. I'm not trying to bring other folks down. Just need an offlet valve.

Waaaait...then what's black with the line in it?
There is a Beatles song for every occasion.
I admit it's getting better
It's getting better all the time

Hey number-theory geeks! I forgot to link to this on Tuesday.

With all the changes to the site, we still can't have more than 250 favorite pics?...

Hmm, there are a number of things at which you could be laughing. I'm gonna need you to narrow it down a bit for me.

Or was that just an evil laugh?

I wish the same thing. 
I've been living in the same place and going to the same supermarket long enough that all the checkers know me by sight. One of them stopped mid-scan tonight and appraised a couple of bags of frozen cherries, then told me "I can't sell these to you. They're all soft."
"I didn't notice!" I said. (I didn't, not because they weren't soft but because I...

I am sensitive to everything. I am allergic to the whole damn world. 
moya:
Hah. Aww, someone made sure your cherries are good to go. That is very sweet.
But seriously, wow, that's kind of amazing someone was aware enough to point that out.
I don't think I'm allergic to anything, but walking into Home Depot/Menards/etc.. makes me feel wierd. I think it's the smell and the lighting.

You know what? It would help immensely right now if I could see the future. I don't think it's asking too much. You see, I don't want to see what stocks are going to go up, or who's going to win a horse race, or anything like that. I don't expect to get rich from this. It would just make things much easier if I...

So, how's the seeing into the future going? Mine's crap.
driana:
No, no, my future will most likely be just fine - my efforts to see the details of my life in six months are the crap part.
And it will be fine for you too. You have a fast car. And an ipod. And you'll cook for girls and let them peg you. (I remember).
The future will rock.

The future will rock.OK, here's my new short-term goal in life: make the time I spend at work less like Office Space and more like The Secret of My Success. Only without screwing the boss's wife. (Or whatever it was that Michael J. Fox did illicitly in that movie. I barely remember anything about it, except that it was quintessentially '80s. That damn Yello song. OH YEAH!) She's...

Wait...what did samling mean by that at the top...who died?? Not Michael J. Fox!? Say it ain's so... 
FYI I'm not gonna make it to the Sinferno thing tonight, it's too yucky out and my mouth is still killing me.

I don't know that it's intellectual stimulation that's missing. Honestly, I get more than enough of that at work every day, and if I didn't I still have a bunch of friends I can talk shop with. And even if I didn't have that, L is plenty bright.
It's more just about challenge. I think I'm trained to expect a lot of arguing and butting heads in a relationship, and L really doesn't do that. Some weeks her simplicity (and I don't mean that in any sort of demeaning way-- quite the opposite) is really refreshing. Other times I feel like something is missing.
She just doesn't overanalyze all the little things, and I think that's foreign to me because I grew up in a little liberal college suburb where we had the luxury of sitting around all day stoned and contemplating the finer points of the world. She grew up on a farm, working her ass off. I can't look down on her for having a more practical approach to the world. In fact, I envy her a lot. It's just weird though, and I'm not sure if it's what is best for me.
I'd hate to leave the impression that she's not smart, though. She's actually very bright, and she did well in school to boot.

Jeez, I go away for a few days and everything changes around here.
All of a sudden my life, at least a significant chunk of it, is alarmingly like Office Space.
More soon. A round of Nutella on the house!

Shut up, I have nightmares about that.
Pouring rain today. When will it ever stop? (I like it, but the list of things that need doing outside [and are easier done when it's dry] is growing.) I'm having trouble adapting to my new work/school schedule. Slept way too long last night and woke up depressed because of it, then realized I no longer had time to work out and was even more...

i'm jealous, it never rains here. I need to move out of the desert then i guess
I like to read novels, but I don't usually understand them. My life definitely isn't a novel: it's a discontinuous series of short stories with only vague thematic connections among them. So why do I feel guilty posting a list of random observations and events here, instead of an essay with a beginning, middle, and end? I've done the latter now and then, but I...

I have never had crystallized ginger. Sounds like heaven.
I want some candied rose petals.

Great idea for the eBay-ing of shtuff. I was a major league packrat, but I've now moved uh...7? times in the last 8 years, and so I've come into the habit of throwing out/giving to goodwill about half of everything I own/have packrat-ed away about every 6 months. It's a very hard habit to break, but you have the power.
And I thought I was the only one who had weird dreams. VERY resourceful! I genuinely laughed out loud after reading that, b/c I could so see myself doing that out of desperation when sick.
Yup, school's back in, and I'm happy. Come see my cat, he's the best cat eveh!
