Long (yet productive) day at the office today. Got lots done and fixed and stuff. I should mention now too, I finally got a new monitor! Silv you rock man! No more squinting! No more fighting about if the screen is completely blurry or if it’s just me!
Ok, I’ll stop now đŸ™‚
I finally got off my butt today and got a membership at the rec center down the road. Hit the pool for a bit and then relaxed in the hot tub. Upon reflection of tonight I feel I have to share some tips and tricks with others to make their trip to exercise more enjoyable.
- Spend a lot of extra time in the change room before going into the pool and after. This prevents the checkout people from knowing that the sum total of your exercise was 15 minutes.
- Bring a hair tie. Losing it on lap 23 sure beats stopping to swipe your hair out of your eyes at the end of every lap.
- Tie your shorts tight. Losing them is even worse than losing your hair tie.
- Stake out the place with your glasses on beforehand sure beats wandering and squinting through the whole center when trying to find your way back to the changeroom.
- Passing out is bad. Take it easy. Drowning sucks. Calling out “mommy” to the life guard is even worse (though if I was actually drowning mom did win swimming awards at one time… I think… is that right?)
- When leaving avoid mirrors. There is a reason that you are going to the gym. And naked men are not the most beautiful sight in the world.
- Try not to lose your key. Or ring.
- Make sure you know how to work work the locker before returning to it sans spectacles and with hair in your eyes. Opening it and closing it right away accidently and locking your stuff back in it is just so un-cool.
- When leaving, the door out of the reception area is a little more to the left, leaving by the correct side of the door makes one seem far less stooge-like.
- While attempting to measure your running route, having it say 12km at the end doesn’t count if 10km was actually backtracking and trying in vain to find the route that you actually run.
- It’s a bad sign when your cats bitch you out for puking on the carpet.
Ok, so not all the above happend… they are all pretty much routed in truth
though.
DC:
First watch in a bit. Pretty good too. A bit like the first one I watched when the main characters were all in detention at the same time and tempers flared and pasts were revealed. This one involves a party, some good lines, Pacey getting pissed and telling Joey and Dawson exactly how it is. Dawson almost gets lucky too… uses the line “you are beautiful in the way that beautiful used to mean when it meant something”. Too bad she said “hold that thought” when he was about to kiss her and turned around to spew. So much for seducing drunken girls huh? Jen had a date with some weenie boy who sold blood to afford to go out with her and ended up quite the fool. She even seems to want to go out with him again. Weirdo. Who the hell gives a “hungarian red pinky ring”? Throw in Jack’s X who just got left by her boyfriend who turned out to be gay (this mixed with Jack recently coming out the closet) was an interesting twist. Oh, and Pacey is in love with Joey. See, I told you a long time ago, you have to trade partners around in shows like this, as it’s far too expensive to bring in new characters to act as dates to the main characters.
Like I said, an amusing episode.
Hmm… What’s for dinner?
