Go Dana, go!

Yikes, Consuela -- feel better.

Go Dana!

And now we have lightning & thunder and it took out my radio station! Uh, hope it clears by 4. Glad I didn't go to the pool early.

I put on CA:TWS, and noticed that the Smithsonian display shows Steve's weight as 250, height as 6'2". For the record? That's BMI of 30.8, "obese."

I was sort of thinking about that because my massage therapist was saying the triathlon she's doing tomorrow has a "big" category, but it's just by weight, and not that much weight, either. So someone tall and thin would fit into it, and potentially do really well in the field. My massage therapist does not find that fair.

Yeah, the Smithsonian display in general is vaguely hilarious to me.

(Also, that's gotta be at least 2" [being generous and pretending Hollywood height is actual height] and probably at least 60lbs, probably closer to 70lbs, more than the actual actor, even as bulked up as he was. I know for Civil War, Sebastian Stan kind of overdid the bulking up, putting him at close to 200lbs, and he looked MASSIVE, and his frame's slightly bigger than Evans' to start with.)

I might fit into it short and thin, frankly. I'm just shy of 5'3" and the lightest I could reasonably go and still have a healthy body fat percentage is about 140, which would still put me at a little under ideal. (I've had my lean body mass measured. It was an eye-opener. At 20% body fat, my BMI would still put me at overweight.)

Supersoldiers have extra dense muscle mass, everyone knows that.

I put in my application for my apartment, and it should get approved in a couple of days--assuming they don't find anything weird, which I figure they won't but my anxiety is certain they will.

The light in the place is terrific, the rent plus utilities is about $125 more than what I'm paying now, which isn't too bad, and the storage is amazing. And it comes with its own washer and dryer. I was worried about annual rent raises, and apparently $20 a month is the most you can raise rent on existing people per year, so that's terrific.

Now to play Fit My Furniture.

Ooh, congrats, Connie! When will you move?

I think this cutoff was like 150 or 160, which is still not that big!

I think that is correct.

It makes the 3-point landings that much more dramatic.

Ooh, congrats, Connie! When will you move?

I'll sign the lease the beginning of next month. October has always been good to me.

Getting stuff out of here needs to move into high gear. I wish dumpster rental was cheaper.

But at least the steps up to the second floor are designed for short-legged people.

I just noticed the line "You're a lot heavier than you look," so canon accepted.

Yes, I've seen a lot of triathlons and some races have an "Athena" or "Juno" category or some such (there's also often a men's category that is like, "Clydesdale") with a cutoff of 160 or somewhere around there. Which is ridiculous if you don't sort by height too...
