A few observations apropos of nothing in particular:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you look on some long and active discussion threads, you'll almost always find someone who has posted something very recently and then gone inactive (i.e. their membership expired). And I mean quickly; the other day I saw a comment from a former member that was only about fifteen minutes old. This leads me to wonder: Are these people aware when their account will go dark? I have no answer but it seemed weird to me.

The new Harry Potter movie is coming out soon. (Edit: I've since noticed that it won't be til next summer -- my bad) I've stayed vaguely informed about what goes on in that series but I'm not a dedicated fan. Anyways, what I'm getting at is that about two years ago I decided that I'd totally do Emma 'Hermione' Watson.

This led me to wonder: How come so many of the underage jailbait cuties aren't nearly so attractive after they're legal? Example:
Olsen Twins at 15


Olsen Twins as legal adults


Some might claim that the Olsens are a special case, but I think you could run the same comparison with a lot of the recent crop of underage temptresses and get similar results. Maybe it's 'cause bulimia can wear you out pretty early; I prefer to think the girls are just hotter at sixteen.

Good to see new faces and old faces on Saturday night for the Meet-n-Greet. I was talking to lotusmonger about our respective workout schedules and we agreed on one thing: If you miss a day's workout, you feel rotten. And sure enough that's what happened today, which would have been the first day I had to workout after the weekend's debauchery.

I had to spend the day out in the suburbs waiting for a cable repairguy and didn't think too much of it. After all, I have basically a day's worth of wiggle room in the weight training schedule so if I miss a day I can adjust the schedule and I figured I would get back downtown in time to get some cardio work done. But I FORGOT ABOUT THANKSGIVING (e.g. I won't be able to do four days of lifting in the rest of the week.) and didn't get back to River North before the gym was closing (e.g. no cardio today either). Now I'll be out of sorts all week. Argh.
