Tuesday – 10 March 2009
Last night, after NCIS and 24, I did something that I haven’t done… well, pretty much in a few years: I did a cardio workout. Thirty minutes on a recumbent bike. I’m trying to get back into the habit of doing some cardio. Yay. It wasn’t hellish… until about 20 minutes in, when I hit the control panel and somehow wiped out the data for my session. *grblsnrkx* Fortunately, my watch has a stopwatch feature, so I used it to count down the final 10 minutes. With roughly 40 seconds left in the ride, I did something equally brilliant: Pointed the toes on my right foot. That brought me the exquisite ecstacy agony of a cramp in my right calf. Go me! I limped along for the last few seconds and was quite glad to have the whole ordeal come to an end.

Stray Toasters

  • I think that I’m going to start referring to Tuesday and Thursday as “Meeting Day 1” and “Meeting Day 2,” respectively.
  • Pending confirmation from our venue, it looks like we have a date.
  • I chatted with for a bit last night. Among the other news he shared was the note that Bit is not quite walking by herself, but is “…pulling herself up on things and shimmying.” Or, as he added: “…she’s no longer crawling like G.I. Jane.”
  • Obama to address U.S. education woes in speech
  • I’ve started work on my Sodam Yat/Ion ‘Clix figure. I feel like Dr. Frankenstein.
  • In related news, Jake Theis posted an update about the future of HeroClix.
  • CGSociety’s steampunk art contest winners and Steampunk Fairy Tales CGI
  • Jack Hanna was on The Late Show last night. It was just as amusing as most/all of his other visits to the show. He also had a pair of cheetah… kittens (?)… that were very cute with him. (Of course, they’re only “cute” until they start eyeing you as a potential snack or meal.)
  • Dremel, Dremel, Dremel
    I made it out of clay…
  • A handful of people will get that reference.
    Two, possibly three, of those people know why I find it so amusing.

Namaste.
