Switched from 5 lb weights during my morning circuit to 10 lb weights. Yes, yes, I can heft my 20 lb and 30 lb for limited exercises, but 3 minutes of strength followed by cardio followed by strength again is a liiiittle tougher. Two weeks with the 5 lbs was just enough for me to […]
Watched a documentary tonight about profiteering in the Iraq war by private companies like Halliburton, Caci, Titan, Blackwater, and others. I’m always amused that the same folks protesting using tax money to provide healthcare to their neighbors didn’t raise a peep when Halliburton was charging U.S. taxpayers $100 a pop to do a load of

The long winter was rough on my fitness level and my jeans size, as I’ve noted before. When I realized two months ago that I’d gone up a size over the winter, I realized it was time to get my crap together. The problem is, it’s difficult to figure out the best way to get
Because in the face of Nazi invasion, this is generally the best thing you can do as a civilian. Well, that, and join the resistance. But for those of us often overwhelmed by simple daily living, it’s not a bad mantra for life-crazy. Sometimes we get worked up over the daily grind like it *is*

Book 3 work this weekend. Also, bumped into yet another person who doesn’t know what a “copywriter” does. Has the term just totally died out, or do folks just think magazine copy and web page copy gets cooked up all by itself? Hrm. I blame blogging. I supposed that if just anybody can “publish” some
ear Bill Strauss, I am writing to let you know that I am among the hundreds of people who have been defrauded of over $100 by your company’s deceptive and misleading business practices. As I’m sure you’re aware, customers who order flowers from Proflowers.com or goodies from CherryMoonFarms.com or those of your partners are lured

I’ve been busy with the new day jobbe, but wanted to share some things which are great: Alice in Wonderland Never been a fan of Alice in Wonderland. Annoying little kid wandering around a crazy place eating and drinking indiscriminately and poo-pooing about like it’s all a great inconvenience. Tim Burton’s take (with a lovely

Freaking out? Here’s a great party-neutral fact sheet of what you can expect the next couple of years. For me, this means I don’t have to spend my nights filled with terror about whether or not I’ll be laid off or how we’ll pay for J’s cancer scans. It means I’m not chained to a
