4th and 1, so to speak.
I’m good with that.
AND… it’s NBN Sushi Thursday.
Bang.
Last night, I picked up an anemic number of books from Dr. Volt’s. I supplemented it by picking up one box, each, of Justice League and Avengers HeroClix. The JL box was nothing but duplicates; the Avengers box had a Rare Bucky figure.
I stopped in to hang with SaraRules’ family for a bit before heading home. When I got home I plopped down on the couch, unpacked Defiant, turned on the TV… and proceeded to nod off. I’m still not sure exactly how long I was out, but it was a little odd to awaken and not be really sure “what just happened…?”
I got up, got mobile and fixed a bite to eat. Then, it was time to hit the mean streets of Paragon City. I logged in and was invited to join a team almost immediately. I did. We fought The Freakshow. Level 30+…. which meant that I got sidekicked up to 29. And the XP started rolling in. By the time I logged off, I had tacked on a level-and-a-half. As an added bonus, an old server-mate from when I first started playing logged on and joined the team.
And I got to watch The Sisko Show and Seven Days, to boot!
I had a few (more) odd dreams this morning…
…and woke up with Here He Comes, by Will Smith, running through my head.
Workout
Mark, Wes and I hit the gym at lunch yesterday. Wes wanted to do some triceps exercises, so we worked back and triceps:
- Bench Press: 3 sets/10 reps – 205 lbs
- Pull-downs: 3 sets/10 reps – 120 lbs
- Reverse Deltoid Flys: 3 sets/10 reps – 1 set @ 60 lbs, 2 sets @ 70 lbs
- Tricep Press (rotating flat bar): 3 sets/10 reps – 80 lbs
- Tricep Press (rope extensions): 3 sets/10 reps – 60 lbs
- Push-ups (diamond): 1 set/15 reps
It was a good workout… and tiring. My shoulders are a little stiff/sore this morning, but I’m otherwise rather pain-free. But, I forgot to check my post-workout weight. Bah.
