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

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

GODDAMNIT, SAINTS.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Even if all I manage is 10 minutes on a treadmill and some stretching, I ALWAYS feel great after. But I still can't figure out why it's so hard to get motivated to actually get there and do it!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

GODDAMNIT, SAINTS.

It's the Saints. Why are you surprised?

ION: Chase Utley! Stud!

Doesn't that sound like a good name for a Regency romance hero?

"Mr. Utley, I can hardly credit my ears!"

That's why I don't rely on motivation, just routine. Home, change, out the door to walk to the Y. It's worked for 2 months.

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

God, I hate exercise. Kettlebell is all I could ever manage. The martial arts are different--those are for the sheer love of the art. Actual exercise? Blech.

My sister is obsessive about it. She probably hates it as much as I do, but since almost quitting her PhD she has a life mission of doing things against her grain to prove she can tough it out. So she runs and swims long distances despite the aversion. We may not be related.

Actually, it was an interception that was in no way Brees' fault. And they got the ball back after four downs.

Coding and Sleeping

GODDAMNIT, SAINTS.

Try being a Cheifs and Royals fan.

I was bad this morning, I went for 7 hours of sleep instead of the treadmill, so I have to do the treadmill tomorrow morning. The eternal battle sleep vs. exercise.

In this regard you are Emmett. He's getting into very good shape with Krav, but it's tough getting him to run the steps at Kezar Stadium (at my house) or hit the gym at his mom's condo complex.

I actually like swimming. When everything is working in the water, it's sublime. Like flying down from the Tiger's Nest. Everything working as it should, it's magic, it's my body and it's all mine.

Oh god, some random show is using my favorite bit from Four Seasons, Winter, I think. Timely.

Ugh, I am so with you on that. One of the good things about having a dayjob back at the Big Software Co. is that the building I'm in now is about a 10 minute walk to the bus stop. Plus, I'm more likely to go for a walk to break up my day of staring at whitepapers and wanting to smack people.
