I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

Sparky, that would be wonderful! Insent in a moment.

By the way, you were in a snippet of a dream I had this morning talking about this very subject.

Has anyone ever done voice lessons?

Victor, i took voice lessons back when i was a music major in college. it actually taught me a lot about what my range was and how i could expand the range and control my breathing a bit more. i really miss singing(that doesn't include my car) on a daily basis.

Blargh. Up late. Tired. Want bacon. Have none.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The employees at the Coffee Bean were asking me what I'm doing up so early, since I go in to get my iced coffee before the gym at 6:15. They're all cheerleading every morning, now.

This morning when I stumbled zombie-like up to the counter, Eddie the Gangsta Barrista who never says anything to me spun my coffee down the counter, whispered "extra shot for you today" pounded his chest twice and flashed me a peace sign.

Hilarious.

Why do other people get so stoked when someone else goes to the gym?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Just walked 3 miles (Kenmore Square to Beacon Hill) to avoid the T (the Green Line is wretched during rush hour - anyone from the Boston area can confirm its awesome wretchedness) and paused to watch baby ducks in the Public Garden. So. Cute. Bopping around in the water; their little heads bobbling back and forth. Of course, I also saw the squished remains of a rat who'd gotten the worst of an encounter with a construction vehicle working in the Garden. Very recently, apparently.

Am tired, but feel all healthy and shit for getting such a good hike in.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

“Men are driven by sex,” the celebrity chef said this weekend at the annual Hay-on-Wye festival. “So the best way for women to get their men into the kitchen would be to stop having sex with them until they start to cook.”

I never understand this advice (except, perhaps, in Lysistrata, when they were trying to end war), because withholding sex from my BF hurts not only him; it hurts me, too!

Advising women to withhold sex assumes that women don't like sex, or at least don't like it as much as men, but that's a faulty assumption.

Cause it means we don't have to!

WTF? How does it skip a day like that?

I've frequently had my worst stiffness from a workout skip a day.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Jamie Oliver believes that women should abstain from sex with their husbands or boyfriends to punish them if they refuse to cook.

Yes, I'm sure blackmailing a spouse or significant other by withholding affection to get your way is a very effective manner of smoothing over disputes in a relationship.

Wouldn't just not cooking for them be a more effective manner of passive resistance with the bonus of not sending a mixed message about one's feelings? I think in the long run you're better off if they start sneaking out for food rather than the alternative.
