So I read a magazine, drank a pot of caffeinated tea and proceeded to sleep 5 hours. Uhg.

Needed it blahblahblah, I hate sleeping all day. And I like sleep! I just feel so useless.

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

What they should do is make prison a big, giant LARP. Assign characters on their way in, they get character points for doing good things, lose karma points for doing bad things, and if they want to shank a motherfucker, they gotta roll initiative with a -20.

This is pretty much the plot of the novel I'm reading. (Glasshouse by Charles Stross)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was going to go jeans shopping this afternoon, since I have to be semi-near the Gap outlet anyway, but now I really don't want to! That's a bad frame of mind for jeans shopping, right? So I should just skip it?

Yeah, especially because for the future, I'll know the route.

I need new jeans in the worst way, but it's so hard to find anything that's not super low rise skinny jeans right now. Which are fine for some circumstances I guess, like going out jeans, but not really for every day slounging. Plus I'm on the cusp between sizes right now so it's an extra PITA to find something that works.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

From an exercise article:

Rent motivation.

Once a week, watch a movie that inspires you to exercise. Examples: Rocky (for the gym), American Flyers (for cycling), Hoosiers (for team sports), and Chariots of Fire and Without Limits (both for running).

Movies that inspire me to exercise: Terminator 1 and 2; 28 Days Later; the Living Dead movies; The Birds.

Conclusion: I think being attacked by zombies is more probable than my becoming a world-class athlete.

How about dress Mr. Peabody up as a zombie and have him chase you around the yard?

Yes.

But no. I tried on some the other day that were really close to working, except when I sat down and my entire ass crack was exposed. And not in a cute way.
