I woke up at about 6:40 this morning and almost talked myself out of going to swim. But then I thought, “Self, you *always* feel better after exercising, and you know you won’t go later in the day.” So I got up and walked through the POURING RAIN and had a quite nice swim. I did 500 meters of just kicking, which loosened up my very, very, very sore legs (we walked about eight and a half miles on Wednesday, and then yesterday I did barre exercises. My legs huuuuuurt.),…
tin whistle
I found my tin whistle book. It was…wait for it…shelved tidily in the bookcase not 18 inches from my elbow as I work every day. In my defense, I’d forgotten that it was a full-sized book, and had been searching for a smaller one, which in my opinion explains why I didn’t see it. Also I didn’t look on that bookcase, because I thought I was looking for something smaller (well, I *was* looking for something smaller, just wrongly) and I thought it was on the other bookcase. Or in…
oh, er, um oh
Er, Urban Fantasy Land seems to have presented HANDS OF FLAME as one of their possible ‘best books’ of 2008. It’s a very scientific decision as to who wins, based entirely on internet voting, and I’m a bit late to the game (the poll’s been up three weeks and ends tomorrow night, and I only just found out three minutes ago), but if you’d like to go vote, then heck, you might even win a B&N or Amazon gift certificate, too. :)

The swim coach was at the pool today. We ended up…racing is not the right word, not really. Keeping up with each other is more accurate. For about 200 meters. Maybe 300, in which case I swam further than I think I did, but I think it was 200. Anyway, he doesn’t do flip-turns, or he’d have totally left me in the dust, but as it was, we stayed neck and neck for the whole stretch. And he reached the end of his set right before I crapped out, which…
interview meme!
I do enjoy this meme. :) Say “interview me!” in the comments and I’ll ask you five questions of my own choosing, at least for the first two or three or five who ask. Questions from /: 1. Have you ever had a day where you weren’t sick, but did absolutely nothing other than sleep and watch tv/read? Of course! 2. What do you miss the most about Alaska? Biking. Anchorage has over a hundred miles of bike trail, and I really, really miss getting out on them. Biking in…
