It’s finally the weekend; thank Heaven for 9/80 Fridays.
The second half of yesterday’s workday was slow, which wasn’t necessarily “bad.” I was able to clear a few things off my task list and there weren’t any large fires to dowse. And, we once again had ice cream! Nevertheless, I was glad when quittin’ time rolled around.
Last night, SaraRules and I headed to the gym. For a change of pace, we stayed in the free weight room for our entire workout:
- Lateral Raises (with forward rotation): 3 sets/10 reps, 15 lbs
- Shrugs (dumbbell): 3 sets/10 reps, 30 lbs
- Reverse Punches (with dumbbells): 2 sets/20 reps, 10 lbs
- Curls (barbell): 3 sets/10 reps, 50 lbs
- Curls (dumbbell, hammer grip): 3 sets/10 reps, 25 lbs
- Overhead Tricep Extensions: 3 sets/15 reps, 45 lbs
- Decline Sit-ups: 3 sets/15 reps
- Side Bends: 3 sets/10 reps, 30 lbs
- Bench Dips: 3 sets/10 reps – w/ 25lb plate on sets 2 and 3)
Later in the evening (read: “In the wee hours of morning…”), I played City of Heroes. I wasn’t able to find a team to join, but I was able to solo a couple of story arc missions that I had pending.
Stray Toasters
- While I was preparing to play CoH, I left the TV on. Oprah follows The Late Late Show. Last night’s show was about Dani Lierow and her family. All that I can say is: “Wow.” Major kudos to the Lierows for the love, time and patience that they’ve had to give to a little girl who had been dealt a bad hand. They get half of today’s nod as my Humans of the Day…
- …the other half of the honor goes to my friend Joe, who’s shipping out today to provide IT support in Iraq. For a year. He is chronicling his adventures at: On the Rear Lines.
- Item Not As Described
pointed out: ‘City of Heroes’ character ‘Twixt’ becomes game’s most hated outcast courtesy of Loyola professor. The article tells the story of David Myers and the “social experiments” that he conducted via the online game. I hadn’t heard about this before and did a little digging; I discovered that he did not play on the same servers that I do.
