Although it sure feels like it. Today's workout consisted of us finding our personal max weight - single repetition - for three different exercises, the overhead squat, benchpress and powerclean (learn more about the madness here: http://www.crossfit.com). It SOUNDS easy, what with the 'one' in ( Read more... )

... well, of 2010. ;) I only have two New Years resolutions, and I've already started both of them! First: get in shape. That requires me to go to the Crossfit gym (eeeevil workouts, but awesome results, and the eyecandy while I work out is quite delish :D ) which I started on Wednesday (my thighs are sore to prove it, ouch), and also to improve my ( Read more... )

I was just browsing through fanfiction.net and came across a reference to a song I haven't heard in for-evah. I looked it up to see if it was as good as I first remembered it (somethings should just stay happy memories :P) and... it was okay. I smiled, then clicked something else. But then... something made me look up the song again, maybe there ( Read more... )

I've been going to the gym pretty regularly for the past few months, but I'm still sore. >.< It's all because I took up my co-worker's challenge to join the local Crossfit group. It is evil, I say!! OMG the workouts never get any easier, and we all keep journals to keep up with our progress. It sounds great in theory, but the instructor reminds me ( Read more... )

I've been trying to do more stretches lately since my workouts have been leaving my body rather sore and stiff. However, my dog thinks that this is playtime since I'm sitting on the floor. Why is this bad? Try doing a backbend while a dog is licking your face. I start to giggle and it just encourages him, then it all goes downhill from there. >.<

Yay for Star Trek! I just saw the latest movie, and it's now rated as my absolute favorite of the franchise. OMG go see now!! That said, I firmly believe that McCoy is a young human version of G1 Ratchet. Srsly.

Yay for holidays! Foods, family, foods, madness, foods and head asplodes! Yes, it's that time of year again, and how did the season start? A simple Thanksgiving dinner? No! Mom had a tummy ache the Sunday before Thanksgiving, which quickly got extremely painful, so we took her to the hospital. Turns out 12" of her small intestines died from lack of ( Read more... )

Oh, this November election is turning out to be a whole lot of fun, isn't it? Black messiah on the one hand and geriatric white guy on the other. Who to vote for? Actually, I've been leaning towards Obama for a while now (and no, I don't think he can walk on water). I used to be a McCain fan, especially towards the end of Clinton. However, he's ( Read more... )

Today my parakeet, Mr. Fribble, died. He chirped, bounced off walls and was exceptionally cute for 10 years. I wanted to bury him today, but Tropical Storm Fay was still dumping the ocean on us, so it's too wet. I'll put him in my backyard, let his remains nourish the earth and let new little trees grow. It's amazing how much a small animal can ( Read more... )
