doh!

Doh! I posted and forgot to write down my yards swum. Doh! Like I said, it was a lazy swim, but I did do a timed 500, which I did in 8:35, 10 seconds off Friday’s swim, so I’m reasonably pleased with that. I’m aiming for 8 minutes. And then, y’know, seven after that, but let’s get to 8, first. swam: 2000 yards

busy day

I actually managed to go swimming this morning, thanks mostly to Ted, who said, at 9:20, “Are you going swimming?” So I got up and went swimming. It wasn’t a very *enthusiastic* swim, but at least I went. And then we went shopping and bought yet another bookcase, and I came home and cleaned the bedroom. This is a monumental task. It’s also not quite finished, but it’s a lot better than it was. There are now 2 more bookcases up there than there were, and 2 more dresser-drawer things,…

hmph

Well, Alaska Dance Theatre was very very disappointing. There was no one at the counter, and only a not-particularly-well-put-together schedule under plexiglass on the counter and no copies for people to take, and there are very few classes for adults at all and none of them are tap classes.

There are a number of ballroom places (I’m actually looking in the Yellow Pages right now) and at least two or three studio sorts of places…

Ok, I have sent Ted off to martial arts and I’m not going to go to the gym today. I’m just *all* worn out. I haven’t been sleeping very well this week, which is a right bother and contrary to all the evidence that says, “Exercising will make you sleep better!” I’m certainly very *tired*, but I think all them little endorphins are fucking up my sleep schedule. So today, there will be no gym. :) I’m going to go by Alaska Dance Theatre this afternoon, though, and see if…

armageddon

So I watched Armageddon last night, which is the first time since Sept. 11th that I’ve watched a disaster movie. To my surprise, it was actually somewhat less fun to watch meteors coming down and thrashing NYC than it had been previously. And I remember thinking, when I watched it in the theatre the first time, “*Wow*, that looks real!”, particularly when the top of the Empire State Building crashes to the earth and there are billowing clouds of dust and people running and screaming. And I thought, like so…
