I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hey sumi and Plei, what did you think about the Belmont?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I've been feeling oddly motivated to improve my fitness before my next birthday (I'm also 40 later this year). My job is often pretty physical, but I'm trying to get in the habit of practicing pilates more regularly.

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

I am appalling at pushups. Quite dramatically bad. Give me exercises that involve quads and abs and I can give you a run for your money, but my pushups are made of fail. My clavicles feel like they're going to collapse.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

ita, aren't you lacking a muscle that is sort of integral to pushups? One would think that that would excuse you from them.

I can probably do 15-20 real pushups. (I can do more if they're the girlie kind.)

I'm still working on the pull up issue.

We're amusing Kat, I think

Nah. I was just genuinely curious. Absent being in a PE class, I have no idea how many pushups are reasonable.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm still working on the pull up issue.

I'm quite certain that I shall go to my grave never having achieved so much as a single pull up. And, by now, I'm pretty well at peace with it.

I'm unsure about my pushup limit, and unwilling to test it on a day with a high of 88°. But for pull ups you'd need to have a bear willing to chase me into a tree to find out.

Unassisted pullups are my BIG goal. So far, I think I've accomplished one.
