Meres life update & miscellany: no nutritional content
1. Dear El Jay: this new topbar thing is bullshit. It's messing up my nice layout and is adding stupid social media features that I DNW and don't know how to remove.
1.b. Pursuant to the above: flisties, please continue to not link my stuff on Facebook or nonfannish places were I might be linked to my IRL name. You can help avoid awkward questions from my Mom! Thank you for your cooperation.
2. Happy birthday to all my fellow May babies! Best time of year to be born, yes?
3. I have taken up bike riding. I got my old 15-speed bike out of mothballs and recommissioned it after about a decade of inactivity! Since I only just started riding around, I am saddle-sore and noodle-legged, but in my defense I am not only profoundly out of shape, I also live in a hill-ridden town. With bad roads. Ow.
I'm hoping to scale up my riding time by ten or fifteen minutes biweekly or less. My endurance time is rather pitiful, but it still gets the old heart going (a goal of mine is not only to strengthen said noodley legs but also reduce my not-great resting heart rate. I'm 26 damn years old and have a ticker like a frightened fieldmouse, I swear.)
Anyhow, yay, biking!
4. Grad school stuff is also going good. Not as fast as I might like, but steady and I am neither bored nor run off my feet and/or angsting. I call that a win.
5. I got my tickets to the Canada Day concert! Tragically Hip, Broken Social Scene, Hey Rosetta!, a full day of Good Times in the Tdot. I am excited!
6. Umm... that's about all I got. I'd say life is pretty good for the Meres these days, but every time I say that the universe decides to screw something up, so I'm not at all saying that. Nope. *looks around to makes sure the Murphy's Law police didn't hear me*
Peace out.
