Damage Report:
Shoulders: Sore
Left arm and Shoulder: Bruised
Legs: Sore
Right Wrist: Stiff and sore
Most of this is from the gym, but also from falling out of bed Saturday night and catching myself on my bedside table. The corner caught me under the armpit and I have massive dark bruising there. I look leprous.

Friday night I got some clothes. CLOTHES! For the first time in about six months. And they fit! WHOOO!!
I went to Old Navy and got some corduroy pants, some sweaters and long sleeved type things since it's going to get cooler, supposedly.
I also cleaned up at Lush, getting three bubble bars FREE and some other thing I've already forgotten but was happy not to pay for.
Reincarnate
Karma Komba
Sea Vegetable
Sultana of Soap
Wiccy Magic Muscles
Sweet Japanese Girl
Sunny Side
The Comforter
Karma bubble bar
I feel like I'm forgetting something but I'm pretty sure that's it.
Then we had chinese and messed around the house.
Saturday was out and about: the bank, Joann Fabrics, Sports Authority, lunch at Blackwater barbeque, which had DELICIOUS fried okra, and then Heart's Homebrews for Malt Extract and Sweet Orange Peel.
Also, WE GOT A KETTLEBELL!
It's only a 15 lb (the largest Sports Authority had, pitiful) and it was $25, but we figured it'd be good to learn some moves before we get the 'real' ones in October. The big ones are going to be my birthday present!
Then we saw Shoot 'Em Up with Adam and Marcela, which was one of the MOST FUN MOVIES EVAR. I'm surprised it hasn't done better, but I think it might be a big hit on DVD. I don't think I'll do a write-up because it's pretty cut and dry--if you enjoy silly action movies you will enjoy this one.
Sunday I used my Orange Bag of Ant-Death on the big mound in the front and back yard. The backyard mound is monstrous, and I don't think one application is going to do it. It's the remnants of the first mound that I destroyed, and another mound that was further away in the yard but which is now EMPTY because the bigger mound enslaved and assimilated them. Ants do that. The poison I have is somehow magically water-activated, so you dump it on the mound, and then pour water over it and watch the ants stream out of the mound in desperate attempts to save their filthy, wretched civilization. I have no love for fire ants. They were sent to earth by some higher intelligence in the universe specifically to ruin summer for small children and animals. I would FedEX them all to Hell if I could.
The purpose for all this insecticide was that we want to be able to do exercisesin the backyard without being stung into comas, and ALSO--- (trumpet sounds) we are having a HALLOWEEN PARTY!
YES WE ARE!
It won't be that night, which I believe is a Wednesday, but probably the saturday before, or maybe even the 20th. Yes, the 20th feels right. I'm not sure if I'll do a theme-- the only one I came pu with yesterday was 'Historical Screwups,' where you come as a historical character who screwed something up royally, like Elvis' doctor, or Lincoln's Secretary who booked the seats a Ford's theater, and whatever creative things people can come up with. Oooooo-- it could be 'A History of Violence' and people could come as osme kind of violent person from history! Such a wide variety! And such an easy costume. And of course the minute that I post this i'll have a better idea afterwards and the theme'll change again. Eh, screw it.
And---it was a busy weekend---I brewed beer yesterday! An orange blossom honey and sweet orange peel Northern Brown is bubbling away in the bathtub at home. I think it'll come out very well, and might be ready in time for the party. We also watched Rome and fiddled around the house.
Now I'm at work, aching, and for a wonderful surprise one of the project managers of a project I was involved iwth left a little bag of candy on my desk as a thank-you! I already ate the Starburst (except the red one, because they are gross) and am keeping the Skittles and Hershey bar for later.
