Argh
For the last week tumblr has hung up when trying to scroll past the first 'load' of dashboard entries, and it won't let me post anything either. I'm sure it's a Firefox issue because my other tumblr account works on Chrome, but I refuse to cross the streams and use them both on the same browser. Anybody know how tumblr works on Safari?

more navel gazing fitness updates
There’s a tl;dr version that bores even me, but the upshot is that the spouse and I are now on a ‘medically-supervised’ low-carb diet program. It’s been an adjustment for both of us but less so for him, food-wise, since he’s a stereotypical guy and he still gets to eat plenty of meat. The no-bread, no-sugar stuff was more of a crash for me.

Error code &*%& you
So the spouse decided yesterday that we needed a TiVo, and went out and got one. Except it requires a cable card and our current cable box won't do. Off he goes to the Comcast service center and gets a card and returns the box. Then he has to figure out how to get the TiVo to talk to the Internet. Then he has to try to get the card working in the ( Read more... ) -

Next week is my last week of 7 am bootcamp. I've lost a few pounds but more importantly I've definitely gotten fitter and lost an inch or two. Since it's at a gymnastics studio, the sprung floor has been really nice on my knees, compared to the outdoor bootcamp I did before. I'm not sure I have enjoyed it, per se - once you get used to the kinds of ( Read more... ) -
Burpees = created by Satan, y/y?
My "be more healthy, eat less crap, move more" project for 2013 is going well, all things considered. But people who *really like* to exercise - I mean, I don't mind it most of the time, once I get going, but it's not a hobby for me like it is for these people - are not like the rest of us. And they don't really get my gallows humor in the midst of ( Read more... ) -

What are you reading now: Listening to The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements, by Sam Keen. It's basically Keen being all "hey, guess what weird historical factoid I learned about this element? And this other one!" Which for me is awesome (although I feel a ( Read more... )
