New Rules of Lifting for Life
I'm trying to figure out the phase 1 workout in The New Rules of Lifting for Life, but holy mackerel Batman! Box jumps? Really? Isn't that like asking for injury? Well, at least for me. I'm not a graceful person when it comes to quick movement, so I can perfectly picture myself jumping wrong and horrible things happening.
You know how as a kid you' ( Read more... ) -
When you can't remember your password...
It's been long enough since I used this account that I had trouble logging in. Lurking mode has turned into spending lots of time in hives of scum and villany, like reddit. I've watched way more kitty videos and people hurting themselves (while doing improbable things with skateboards) than any one person really should. Once is a while I'll see ( Read more... ) -
Tamales
Spent most of my Saturday over in Tijuana with ma', making great quantities of tamalas: pork, chicken, cheese and peppers, and pineapple-cinnamon. We wrapped them up and froze them, ready to be put in the tamalera on Xmas Eve. The whole eating, present opening and partying happens on the 24th, which is pretty convenient, because then we cross the ( Read more... ) -
Dislocated rib? Really?
I've been told by a masseuse that I might be suffering from a dislocated rib, which has been caused/aggravated by doing crunches. This means going to a chiropractor, which, eeeek, I hate.

Suits
No Google, I didn't mean "squirts" when I searched for the very SFW series Suits. Good thing I didn't do an image search first.
ETA: Oops, I guess you would be confused by my insistence on typing the show's name as Suirts.

Ow
Dear Lady at Henry's*:
I appreciate how you jumped to my aid when you saw that I had spilled hot soup on my hand, and that I was trying to figure out how to set down the laddle without burning myself even more. However, you applying a cheese block to my hand, making me drop the laddle onto the floor, which then splattered all over my pants and shoes ( Read more... ) -
Ramen
I love the Miso flavor ramen with extra pork that this place sells close to the office. It's so delicious and yet everytime after I eat a bowl of their yumminess my body goes WTF ARE YOU DOING?

Captain America
If I don't think about it too hard, Captain America was a lot of fun. The idealized 40s look is perfect eye candy, and there are funny lines, with Chris Evans looking pretty, a cool heroine played by someone I'd never seen before and Tommy Lee Jones being Tommy Lee Jones ( Read more... )
