Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What is a cardio track? And if someone had, say, three times a week they could take the class (I'm guessing, since he runs a post production house), how would it compare to like a spinning class?

The cardio track (better called the fitness track) is a pool of cardio classes, bagwork classes, stretching and sports conditioning (including for the Mixed Martial Arts) that I avoid quite strenuously, except to look through the window and smile (inside) at the pain on the faces of instructors that enjoy torturing me. There are about 16 or so of those per week, with a few during the day.

It is also possible to get a good workout 3x a week in the self-defense classes, especially if he picks his instructors wisely.

It'd definitely beat spinning for muscle development and a whole-body workout. Hands down. I've never taken a spinning class, but I can testify that taking one cardio class made me want to kill a lot of people, starting with the instructor.

It's on my roof, and patio, right now. I gave them popsicles and lemonade, because it is horrible day to be roofing and I feel badly for them.

Right, went out and mingled with the Hot, Shirtless guys 'cuz she "felt bad." Uh-huh.

Happy Birthday, Kat!

I had a startling revelation earlier today. Even though the HOT weather sucks like a Hoover, at least it's not this Spring anymore. I can breathe!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wow. I wonder how they're going to narrow down that list of suspects...

What is even happening?

Right, went out and mingled with the Hot, Shirtless guys 'cuz she "felt bad." Uh-huh.

Hee, but there was no mingling. There was just the one guy when we brought stuff out. The other three were up on the roof, I guess. I didn't stay out with them. The guy brought back the box of popsicles after everyone had taken what they wanted. It's like 92 degrees out there. I hobbled back to the air conditioning, yo. At least the relative humidity dropped. This morning, it was 70-something%. Now it's 28%, which isn't bad for around here, in the summer.

Looks like the Angel Puppet is finally available for order. (it's not really a good picture, it's way cuter in person).

The undamaged Angel puppet went on sale a couple months ago, didn't it?

YO! PEOPLE!

Stop watching the shuttle launch online over and over and over. You're impeding my ability to surf and avoid work here! It's up. Local tv will probably run footage several times tonight. YOU AREN'T MISSING ANYTHING.

I hadn't heard that it was finally available, too. The link is to the battle-scarred, removable-nose Angel.

Did you see the link to a follow-up story to the spammer's murder?

Russian Media Hails Spammer’s Murder

coupla excerpts:

Russian-language media, both online and offline, has made little effort to conceal one central thought when dealing with the spammer’s demise: that somehow the late Mr. Kushnir got what he deserved. “The Spammer Had it Coming”, one headline reads. “Spam is Deadly”, “Ignoble Death Becomes Russia’s Top Spammer”, “An Ultimate Solution to the Spam Problem” - 84 Russian-language news captions on Kushnir’s murder, retrieved by the Yandex News search engine within a day of the event, seem to share the general feeling.

It’s little wonder, then, that Vardan Kushnir became as popular a character among Russian-speaking Internet users, as Lord Voldemort must be among Hogwarts’ fans. And a tale of some anonymous ’Harry Potter’ paying him a private visit on a warm July morning produces quite a predictable sensation among the audience. Of course, everybody understands, that spam will not stop with Kushnir’s demise — it will persist for years to come, exactly the way Lord Voldemort finds his way back into the picture with every new installment of the Harry Potter saga. But this time, the magic wand has for once dealt a deadly blow to the arch-villain, and there seems to be no option left for the spectators, than to hail the magic.

Now, I'm as sick of offers to increase the size of my member as the next person, but - Dang! These guys are harsh.
