[gym] 45min treadmill (2.5incline, 4.5mph ... which means a total of 4.0mi from a previous total of 3.33mi ... yeah, people could so easily get numbers fixated exercising [I made a rule for myself that I'm only allowed to weigh myself on days I'm giving blood -- 'cause they ask you your weight on the form, and we know me and obsessive accuracy] ... the workout was actually less of a challenge than...

The last time I posted about Iran , I felt like I was way behind the curve (and I was ... though waiting before weighing in is my usual m.o.). That was over a week ago, and I haven't seen much in recent days. Admittedly, anyone who's following Andrew Sullivan's liveblogging probably doesn't have any time to post anything of their own, and there have been plenty of other hot topics recently , and...

I just finished reading liz_marcs 's post about the Iranian girl who was killed during the protests. It's one thing to read news reports about the violent beatings and injuries. It's another to watch a young girl die for doing something we take for granted. I don't know how many people are reading this journal, but I do know that some of you are international. I want to, probably for the...

I know this is a repeat from last year, but it still holds true. Dear Remixer, I, unh, hope you like Xander or Faith, since most of my BtVS fanfic centers on those two, so let me apologize right up front if you're not a fan of either one. The good news is that you do have a little bit more wiggle room with regards to characters/stories you can grab. Not a lot of room, I know, but some. The...

And finishing with movie posters ... I offered to make movie posters for fics (either completed, WIP, or forthcoming).  Inside you'll find the results!  I hope you like looking (and perhaps reading the fic attached to them) as much as I enjoyed making them.  And if you do like the fic, don't forget to feedback your author as well.  :D THESE FINE FICS ARE AVAILABLE IN THEIR ENTIRETY RIGHT...

Gakked this from liz_marcs who got it from someone named tobyaw at Dreamwidth. Go to this site and type in your name and you can find who in your flist may be over at DW. I spent some time adding people over there.

P90X - Recovery Week (4) Day 4 Yoga! Mmmm, I'm happy with this routine, it's a butt kicker, but I feel a thousand times more strong and flexible now. An hour and a half routine that leaves you loosey goosey at the end. I tried to get cute last night and do an extra workout of the Core Synergystics (day 3) and oh my god. Some of those are just absolutely brutal when you don't take time off in between...

liz_marcs has rec-ed the most wonderful nuTrek Fanfic ever : How to Avoid Kicking Puppies and Other Valuable Lessons in Leadership . Go. Read. You will be howling throughout.

Just horribly busy with various stuff offline. I even have a Dreamwidth invite (thanks liz_marcs !) but haven't been able to get around to that yet. So, anything I've missed? Swine flu does not count here. :P And a belated Happy Birthday! to mabel_marsters !

Liquid egg whites from a carton are terrific. 1. they're being scrambled, 2. there are other ingredients being added, 3. at 6 am, I do not have the coordination to properly separate eggs. I can, however, pour from a container, no matter the mental state. [insert drunk joke here] :D DAY 3 - ARMS AND CHEST + AB RIPPER Funny how the squats from Day 2 weren't coming back to haunt me, but the shoulders...
