I am putting around rather than getting this thing finished & driving toward shipping. As you know, Bob, it's ship or die. Shipping is preferable to death. So how do I effing ship this thing?

I need to make some front-end decisions. I have been dithering about how to do the browser-side interactivity. I need to pick something and go. And I need ( Read more... )

Today's workout was one of those bread-and-butter workouts. I did exactly three lifts, but I did each of them a lot. The details:

5x5 (means 5 sets of 5 reps) low bar back squat at 165 lbs (75kg)
5x5 bench press @ 85# (38.5kg)
5x3 deadlifts @ 215# (97.5kg ( Read more... )

Wrote some stuff. Did some programming. Lifted some weights, carefully, without involving my shoulder (harder than expected given that your shoulder works any time you use your arms). Tweeted some stuff. Served as a sleeping platform for cats. Also as a can opener for cats.

The usual.

Uh… what have I got for you? I dunno. I have been mostly quiet on my fannish Twitter. Noisy as usual on my real-life one. Oh, I've got one thing: I decided that my shoulder injury is bad enough that there's no way I'm competing in my powerlifting meet next month. I'm less than four weeks away and I still can't do two of the three lifts the meet ( Read more... )

I am still working on the "Thusia" commentary, by the way. I have not forgotten! I am prioritizing writing for NaNoWriMo just now, so it's going slowly.

The other day at the gym I did farmer's walks, among other things. This is a pretty simple functional exercise: hold something heavy in each hand. Walk around with it. Sound like anything you do ( Read more... )

I was at the gym this morning and somebody stopped me in the locker room. ( Egotistical moment cut… )

So right where was I, fannish stuff, oh yes, stopping talking about the coffee shop AU because I now have a file for it in my fic repository. Friday, Saturday, & Sunday are big Original Fiction Novel project days for me, so I generally don't even think about fanfic over my weekends. But perhaps I will find some moments to write a plan. It's going ( Read more... )

In more oddities from my life, today I got a sports massage for the first time. This is unlike spa massages, which are all about the relaxing music and the hot stones and the scented oil. For one thing, this happened after my workout, so I was wiped and sore to start with and not all meditative and newage. Let me start by telling you all about that ( Read more... )

"A Short Rest" has been nominated for round 2 of c2c_buffyawards. Thank you to whoever nominated this story! It's one of my personal faves: Xander, Giles, and Bilbo. With tea ( Read more... )

LJ posts are my version of Morning Pages. I read metafandom, groan and/or mutter under my breath, write something in response, then usually delete it all unposted. This morning I wrote something about how much I love science fiction. Then I went to the gym to fling heavy metal objects around. In the shower afterwards I figured out a pacing problem ( Read more... )
