Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

oh man. My abs hurt so badly but not in the usual way. We did this intense backbend thing and I think I broke my abs. i'd like an ab transplant.

Noah has learned to say, "May I please be excused?" And he thinks it means he IS done. Really it means I begin the Eat More negotiations.

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

Kat, for the 3rd night in a row, I got shin splints. I have no idea why. Same shoes, everything. I've been walking daily for 3 weeks now? WHY.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This is possibly one of the best legalize-gay-marriage ads I've seen. [link] Although the first ten seconds or so seem more like one the Maine tourism ads.

That's a really nice ad.

I'm glad you mentioned it again, Jesse. Forgot to click it earlier. Nice!

sarameg, maybe you should hydrate more? I get sore muscles if I work out without drinking enough water.

Shin splints are about overdevelopping or overtaxing a calf muscle OR it could be a tightening of you plantar fasciitis. Stretch before you walk and after.

That's my unscientific opinion.

I'm trying a different wiki service this year for my class wiki. Interesting, but the accounts are a pain in the butt.

Instead of the usual grade offerings, I contemplated these grades instead: Epic Win, Win, Meh, Fail, Epic Fail.

That's funny, Kat. I would love it.

That ad is awesome. Go, Maine.

I'm very, very hydrated. 2+ liters during the work day. I'm wondering. It might be stupid hormones (my muscles and joints get funky around this time of the month. Knees will unexpectedly collapse on stairs, hips get wonky.) Anyway, starting yesterday, stretching, even all day at work. Don't like it though. Like the rolling rhythm and everything locking up 1/2 mile in means I fight the 1/2 mile back, no rhythm, cranky. I haven't had shin splints since I used to run. 22 years ago.

Anywho, I'm giving it a break tomorrow, I think. Going to try the pool. I just want to be able to still do my 10 miles over the weekend. Weather is lovely.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

True. The funniest bit to me is when the male hummingbirds get so busy defending their territory that the female hummingbirds sit contentedly together on the feeder eating, and the male hummingbirds never actually get to eat.

There are many species in this kind of situation. The most extreme may be the antechinus, where pretty much the entire male cohort drops dead from exhausstion and stress by the end of the mating season - having most likely lost much of their hair and teeth. On the plus side, their testicles swell to be roughly the size of their head.
