Gym creep
I was at the gym today, working on some crunches. My gym has mirrors on three of the four walls of the very spacious weight machine room, so I could see the guy working on the leg machines two rows behind me. (There are three rows of weight machines.) His circuit consisted of very quickly moving from one machine to the next. At first, I didn't ( Read more... ) -

Bugs & Quiz
The weather has been lovely lately. I'm sitting outside now on the step in front of my door. I laid out a blanket, grabbed a cup of tea, and the sun is shining right on my face in the perfect position. I have half the mind to take a nap out here, but I'm sure I'll burn. Either that, or some earwig or spider will nestle up with me, which is the last ( Read more... ) -
Interracial dating
I had no idea interracial dating/marriage was still an issue.In a family living class I am taking, we were paired up with a person we weren't that comfortable with. Each pair was handed a list of discussion questions, most of which were very uncomfortable, rather taboo questions to ask a person who is simply an acquaintance.

Foie Gras
I know there's been some movements against foie gras (primarily initiated by PETA) a while ago. Just today, an article on foie gras appeared on the New York Times. To summarize, a quote from the article:
Since the time of ancient Egyptians, making foie gras has involved doing something unnatural to ducks or geese: fattening their livers by force- ( Read more... ) -
My day, & leprechauns
I have been in a ridiculously horrid mood all day. Hardly worth writing about, especially since I'm still not all too sure what set me off. My self-therapy includes catching up on Grey's Anatomy and Lost and Desperate Housewives. I would be watching The Office, if I could find it online ( Read more... ) -
Layouts and... politics?
So. LiveJournal layout: I've been using the S2 style system - specifically, the Smooth Sailing theme option. One thing that has been constantly bugging me about it is that there is a dash between the date and the header title, which is most unsightly. But, hallelujah, I've figured out how to get rid of it! (At least, it works in the latest IE and ( Read more... ) -

Living Space Chaos
My room looks like I'm still moving in, and I've been here for half a year. Four pieces of art are leaning against the wall, their images hidden. My desk drawers still haven't been put into their respective openings. I manage to sleep in only half of my bed, because piles of books and clothing occupy the other side. My oil paints, brushes, and ( Read more... )
