What a crazy ride. My quads hurt today. It was a lot harder on my lower back than expected. Plus being the nut I am, I'm going to go cycle again today.

When I was younger, I was much closer. Now, my cookie dough behind has some way to go...

It's interesting that Apple is using all of their OS X widget sets. The messenging app is pretty nice too. We'll see how the layer 1 stuff goes. Being it's from the ( Read more... )

Fever + Cold. Been out of commission these past couple of days. Feeling slightly better today, though everything sounds very distant as if I was in a tunnel.

There's a creature in Final Fantasy XII called a Flan. Well, I think I may have spawned several in those past couple of days. My apologies if they wreck havoc in your neighborhood.
