I'm bored. It has stopped raining so it's now getting gross and steamy outside. The day needs to end so I can take a nap.

She could be the king of the pirates, thus combining the headgear hanging from her bed.

I bet that's exactly who she is, in her dreams.

I would very much like someone nearby to do core training with. also, ita, I thought the "perfectpushup" link was a bra and I was worried.

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

I am being nibbled by ducks today. But it's making the day go by really fast - I can't believe it's already 2:04!

But one of the ducks was due to a mistake of mine, and I had to log into a client's machine (while the clients and my boss watched) in order to find this out.

I am being nibbled by ducks today. But it's making the day go by really fast - I can't believe it's already 2:04!

This is more or less exactly my sentiment, except it's not really many small duck nibbles, but one large duck chomp.

It does make the day go faster, though, and it's nice to work closely with my coworkers on something.

I am still very ready for the day to be over.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Those Bender Ball ads make me nuts -- I think they're the ones that say you can work on "your upper abs, lower abs, AND the sides!" Sides? Really? Is that what we're calling those muscles now? I think I wouldn't mind if they said belly and sides.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

It does seem a shame to toss out the baby (oops) with the bathwater, but maybe you don't place much value on the baby in the first place.

I honestly have no idea what you are driving at here, or that you had such a strong attachment to whatever "baby" it is I've tossed out the window. But if it's merely a grammatical correction you're making I'm just as happy with ending the discussion here.

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

The Bender Balls would fit in perfectly with the decor of my apartment--balls of various sitting about. However, one of those preceding balls is the standard workout ball which lets you do much of what the Bender cites as so revolutionary--involve yourself in a situp beyond the horizontal plane. So very exciting.

I was worried

You shouldn't let them worry you. By and large, they're harmless.

I know you're not supposed to be able to target weight loss, but I can't help thinking that what if the core training could take inches off the waist (they promise 2 in the first 2 weeks) and not off the hips, that'd rock.

you are my opposite workout wisher. For the most part I want my waist left alone and all sort of not physically possible transformations to happen on my hips and thighs

Huh, really? Because I'm at the point where all I want to do is lose inches off my waist. Should I go back and look at the link?
