personal training
So, here's an open message to all personal trainers: Don't pull the "I know the one true way" card with me. It's bull and it will not work. When you make bullshit claims, I will go home and look them up. And no, being a size 2 does not make you an authority. Deal with it ( Read more... ) -
Movie Review: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Ok, so I can't write a review yet, I am halfway through the opening credits. But, WOW, it's like an art nouveau James Bond-meets-the-Matrix opening. Really. Female silhouettes made out of what looks like black oil and USB cords. Weird. Long and weird. Cool, but I am not sure... I would have preferred something a bit less....sci-fi.

thanksgiving
I survived thanksgiving with the family, and except for a sore shoulder, I got through it ok. This is a surprise. -
ouch
I went for a walk today, which I figured would be a bit longer than usual... probably about 3.5 miles. It was nice, at first, but then at the end, I was getting really tired and was very glad to get home.
I just used google's wonderful little tracker. I just walked 5.25 miles, in about 1.5 hours. No wonder my legs are a bit tired. -
food and politics.
Today, while browzing at the library, I happened to stumble across a copy of Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food. Well, why not? I got it. I haven't even started reading it yet, and boy, is it annoying me ( Read more... )
