( Just me blowing my own... no, that sounds all wrong around slashers. Just me bragging. )

( Boring details that equal 'I'm fine.' Mostly a 'not dead' post. )

I suspect a 'still aten't dead' post is in order. It's been a little busy around here.

( It's a list. I just didn't know it was quite this long )

Of the good -- despite spending far too little of the last month in the gym (amazing how long it takes to get over vacations ;->), I don't seem to have gained any weight. May even have lost a pound. Of the better -- despite the time away from the gym, I'm doing a slightly faster pace on the elliptical and upped my time on the rowing machine with ( Read more... )

Among other things done today, an hour of cardio and 500 words for mini_wrimo. I said I'd do 100 words a day. The fact that it'll get *massively* rewritten doesn't change the facts that a. I got more than 100 words and b. what I did get told me what I need to do with this scene. ::more dubious:: I hope. But that, and eight more stories ( Read more... )

And having done weights and treadmill for 2 hours on 4 hours of sleep? I'm going to *bed ( Read more... )

Yes, I went to the gym. Yes, I seem to be doing a lot better. Got stern warnings from the more responsible muses that I wasn't taking the speed up past 3.2, when I usually do 3.6 or 3.8, but did 50 minutes without having much trouble, and didn't end up unduly exhausted yesterday, I think. We'll see, anyway.

Beats what I could have done ( Read more... )

So I'm wandering around journal entries rather than go to the gym (yeah, I know, bad gryph, I'm going as soon as I finish this, honest) and I find an IQ test at a LJ entry for a friend of a friend. It's here.

And this thing... Start out going, 'no problem.' Cuss my way through the last six of twenty wondering if my walls are up to having my ( Read more... )
