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…
swimming
Against the odds, I swam this evening (I’d been going waaah! some more, and I’d thought perhaps if Ted didn’t go to his martial arts class I wouldn’t go swimming, but suddenly I decided to) and had a fairly decent swim. I was sharing a lane most of the time, which always takes it down a notch — well, not always, but it did in this case — but I still did a timed 500 and came in at 8:45, which is pretty good, given the shape I’m in. Then…
food
Ok, this is sort of fun. When I get hungry, I’m supposed to tell Sarah to eat something, because she’s out of the habit of eating (has been as long as I’ve known her) and she needs to eat to get her metabolism going so she can lose weight, and *my* hunger reflex isn’t broken, so I’m hungry and I’ve sent her to get food to eat. *laugh* And *I* got an apple instead of a brownie. I’m proud of myself!
macworld
How cool! Deirdre, who can do things like this (and this and this and this), is apparently being a model at MacWorld. They’re doing touch-screen drawing classes, and Deirdre is the Woman form. There’s apparently a Man, too, but she’s never met him. :) Modelling for SIXTY THOUSAND PEOPLE! She said she wore a unitard the first day and it crawled right up her butt. Modelling for SIXTY THOUSAND PEOPLE. Ooop. :)
