Case Project Update…
Monday, July 19th, 2004 | LiveJournal Archives | 2 Comments
Yeah, these photos are actually kind of old and I’ve made much more progress than is shown in them, but at the same time, they’re the most recent I have and I never posted them before so here’s a look at what I’ve been doing on my WoD case.
One other thing that happened this weekend…

So I’ve been working out for about two weeks now, a fair amount of weight trainging and then, probably not enough cardio on top of that, but I’m working on it. Friday night I realized that I was really hungry when it came time for dinner. Like really hungry. I usually eat 2-3 slices of pizza and start to feel guilty about it. I ate half of it (4 slices) this time and probably could have eaten more if there had been more to eat. Fuck. Then Saturday, I had my standard two bowls of cereal and a cup of coffee for breakfast and that usually last me until about 5:00. Around 1:00 I was starting to really regret that decision. Fortunately aramance had some leftover lunch and offered it to me. Thanks you Laura, you saved me. But when it came time to head from Eberron to Steve’s, I told them I needed Tizaco Bizell because I only had a few dollars and I needed to eat. I was standing there in line trying to figure out how much I could actually get with the meager amount of money in my account. I walked out of there with a really nice sized bag of food for about $7 and, oddly enough, around 9:00, I was hungry again. Also, I noticed all day Saturday, I was wound tighter than a spring on a flywheel car. So the new exercise regimen is starting to show it’s effects. Now if only it would start showing itself physically. 😉
(oh yeah, Bunch, you’re right, the Potato Burrito is something given to us by a higher power)

This weekend turned out to be pretty entertaining and productive overall. I had a great time and really feel like I accomplished something.
Thursday I rode my bike home as I said I was going to. It was a tough ride but only because in the process of installing my new seat, I apparently hadn’t tightened down the bolts as well as I could have and about half a mile into my 3.5 mile ride, the seat came loose and I spent then entire rest of the ride trying to balance myself on the center of my seat. Fuck that hurt my ass, or more appropriately my “taint” define: taint

I posted this as a comment in another journal, but I thought it was funny enough to get it’s own place…
I Love 2004
[humorous celebrity #1] “Remember when we were making fun of that song five minutes ago?
[humorous celebrity #2] “Yeah, that was a classic, I can’t believe we listened to it just before the commercial…”
[humorous celebrity staring blankly at the camera] “…”
[director offscreen] “Say something…”
[humorous celebrity] “uh, we’re already half way through the episode, I’m waiting for something funny to happen so I can comment on it.”

What the hell, all of a sudden I have liek 30 people in here. Oh, and now they’re all gone. Must be a changing of classes.
It’s hard to go from having no business at all to being completely overwhelmed by it. why can’t they all just filter in and out slowly. Screw class. just come and go when you want to, not when it’s convinient for class.

Okay, now that’s strange. I just had a woman come into the lab and ask me if I’m related to Jeremy. I said, hesitantly, yes. It turns out she’s from Muncie and actually knows him. Now that’s a small world.

Ugh, chest feels compressed today, don’t know if it’s the lack of food or the crappy apple I tried to eat, but it feel like someone’s standing on my chest with high heels.
Shit, I know what I could be doing… planning a bike route home for tonight. Tonight will be the first time I actually ride home from work since we moved out of the apartments on Bernard, 6 years ago. In fact, it’s the most I’ve biked in a really long time. We’re looking at like 3 miles or so. I hope I can make it, I hope I don’t pass out along the way.
Sheesh. I’m in a wierd mood today.

Well, working out has been good and bad lately. It’s been good because I’ve truly been enjoying it. I like the rec center, I like feeling like I have a bit of a clue as to what I’m doing. I even like the work out itself, and I feel accomplished when I come home achy and tired. It’s been bad because I don’t want to do exactly what 
Nick and Steve are doing, so I can’t seem to get the timing right on how to do what I want to do in the same amount of time that they take to do their routines. And since I have to rely on one of the to get me home, it’s really putting a damper on my regimen.
I’m going to ride my bike tomorrow for the first time and we’ll see how that works out. It may be the golden solution to everything, it may be the end of what I thought was a great idea. Either way, I’m doing it tomorrow at the very least. At least then, I won’t have to try to be done at the same time as them, I’ll be able to listen to my Nomad while I work (after they’ve finished) and won’t feel like I’m ignoring them somehow. I’ll be able to actually save my cardio until the ride home and won’t have to try to get it in before they’re done with theirs. The big down side is after biking in 100° weather, I’m so going to wish I was still at the rec center to take advantage of the leisure pool. I don’t suppose any of you live in the Nottingham Woods area and have a pool that an exhausted sweaty man could collapse into at about 6:30 or 7:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
If you haven’t been paying attention, I’ve been playing with Buzznet and the Component layout in LiveJournal and have actually gotten them to play together nicely. I know most of you probably only see my entries in your own friends’ page, but I’m really liking the way my page is shaping up, and all that matters is that I’m happy.
Heather’s in the other room making Nur’s Red Lentil soup. Maybe it’ll be closer to the way Nur made it. The last time Heather made it, she forgot the potatoes, and while it was still good, it was a little wierd and wasn’t as pleasant. We’ll see what happens here in a bit. My appetite should kick in any minute now.
My parents have announced that they will be coming to visit, but at the same time, they’ll only be here for, like, 3½ days. Strangely enough, though, they’re going to be flaying in on the 14th and flying out on the 22nd. They’re going to be driving up to Memphis while they’re here, so of their 8 days, 2 will be spent driving, 3 will be in Memphis and the rest will be here in Denton. I almost feel like we’re getting the short end of the stick here, but hey, it’s enough that they’re coming. I was just hoping to convince them to rent a boat so we could go out on the lake or something. Funny thing is, I told them I could take a whole week off to visit with them. As it is now, I don’t have to take any time off at all, they won’t even be around for the weekdays.
Ah, and in geek news: I thought I had lost the high level character I converted special for Steve’s game that he’s finally running on Saturday (so much for working out then), but I found a paper copy, post conversion, in my D&D flip file, so I don’t have to completely recreate him. Again. Beware the 19th level Tiefling Rogue with 7 nearly guaranteed sneak attacks!
