I am never letting myself get so out of shape again. I broke the 2 mile mark today, 24minutes and 3 seconds. My goal is 3.2 miles distance, which is a 5k. Once I get to that, I'm gonna run a 5k race and try to get to under 30 minutes. At the same time, I'm doing strength training, working my abs and arms and my glutes. I have much greater muscle definition at this point on my arms and am losing fat over my body. My clothes are fitting differently and in general I feel more and more healthy.

I decided yesterday that I need a coat, one that reflects my personality, something elaborate and distinctive, I'm thinking potentially patchwork in some way. I don't know if I can find this anywhere, so I might have to make it myself. Which means learning to sew and such. But, I think it'll be worth it.


So, my current weird project that I'm working on is my iTunes/iPod oracle. I am using the tarot and creating a playlist with songs corresponding to all 78 cards and their reversed meanings. This is a huge project, but I think I can do it. Plus, I think it'll be worthwhile. Though, after this, I need to get back to work. I have copyediting to do, encyclopedia articles to write, plays to revise, a dissertation proposal to do, tons of readings to finish, my wife to murder, and Guilder to frame for it. I'm swamped.


i have a bit of a crush.

I feel your pain. I went to the gym yesterday for the first time in an undisclosed number of months and now I think I might die.

If you decide the coat is beyond your capabilities, you should talk to my friend Rose, who is an accomplished seamstress.

Sewing is a good skill to have. I know how to sew buttons and patches, and mend tears, and stuff, but I've always wanted to learn to make clothes from scratch. It was one of those long-term goals for me that got lost in the shuffle, and now there's no time. Well... one day.

Sweet. I should start going to the gym with you. I'm coming rapidly out of shape now that my metabolism is slowing down, you know. May as well do something about it!
That tarot sound pretty interesting. Self explanatory, when you tell someone, "this song relates to your past".
