    I am back home. Now for sleep! I don't want to drive for a week.

    That's too bad. I was feeling like a drive around Kansas.

    I now have the full Rise of the Triad soundtrack in my iTunes Library.

    The hard part was, surprisingly, tracking down the names of the songs. And of course, iTunes had to be difficult and not let me put them all in at once. But now I'm Goin' down the Fast Way. I Choose the Stairs, but I Run Like Smeg. Watz Next? Fish Polka. CCCool.

    Woke up gasping for air because my throat was so swollen and sore it blocked me from breathing. The best part of conventions: Really high rate of getting ill! Yay!

    Why do I have such a strong urge to buy a limited edition figure of some kind.

    I told Rather Dashing not to buy me anything for my birthday because I was in the process of moving. He asked if a card was okay. I said yes, but it had better be funny.

    So he got Ellen McLain to write me a birthday card.

    You win this time, Dashing.

    Watching some people talk American politics just makes me want to blow my brains out. seeing everybody so dead-set pro/anti one party or another, just kills the intelligence within myself.

    What the hell is wrong with people?

    It's very easy to categorize the world into black and whites when in reality it's all grey. It's okay.

    Both parties are equally stupid. This is why I'm registered non-partisan.

    The Google Star Trek "interactive movie" is a pretty neat idea. Good for them.

    I'm frustrated with how slow my strength gains have been. I've been working out for four months and I still can't do a full pull-up. I thought I'd be badass by now.

    Developing muscle mass usually needs to be gauged in years unless you're doing a super rigorous training regiment.

    If you are using decongestant nasal spray you should pause its application so as not to get addicted. :)

    I am a MASTER at not getting addicted to nasal spray because I was so very good at it before.

    I try to use it exclusively at night so I can at least sleep;
    if it is still somehow useful, I only pump a single nostril;
    and I use weekends when I try to get off the stuff.

    Still, nasal spray is about the only thing during a cold that actually makes the impression of temporary relief. Of course I'll use it! ;)

    I never used nasal spray in my entire life.

    The candidate's pac is getting too extreme in their viral stuff, trying to protect their flagging investment - while the candidate's family can't really bear the echo from the opposite side. Politics are really dirty, and TGW makes some interesting points about how far people are maybe NOT willing to go. But this portrays just the race for Cook County state's attorney - not for the presidency of the United States. ;)

    :)
    I just know when there is one. Call it intuition.

    But I don't follow politics.

    Oh, I didn't expect instant results, but it seems to me carrying around your own bodyweight should be pretty basic stuff. Hell, most training regimens I find put pullups on the same level as pushups and squats, both of which are fairly easy. I certainly didn't expect to be able to do 50 of them so early, but not even a single one is starting to get old. Oh well. At least my brain learns faster than my body :P
  • edited September 2012
    You only have to lift part of your body weight with push-ups. Squats use your larger leg muscles. But for pull-ups, you need to be able to lift your entire body weight with only your arms, and depending on your weight and muscle strength, that can be quite difficult. That's also why it's easier for kids, who don't weigh as much. Don't judge your fitness gains based on pull-ups. Those are really only important if you ever find yourself in one of those movies where the bad guy has almost knocked you off the building and you're just hanging on the ledge. Fortunately, you can then call in the stunt crew.

    Somebody needs to hold off on what they eat. They never know what they’re shit looks like afterwards.

    I think I'll see if I can find places to climb, that should be easier since I'll have the help of my legs, while being more fun because less repetitive.

    I wanna take up kendo again, but all of the classes are clear on the polar opposites of town and are late enough that they aren't viable for public transportation with my shift schedule. I guess that's more motivation for getting a car? Heh

    Good thing. The stuff essentially dissolves your mucosa.
    Still, it's a manly medication.

    By the way, those poor Chicken Nuggets. I have a better use for them.

    You know my social meter is low when I actually want to work because I get talk to people. :(

    I think the end result tends to be the same, though.

    China owns us. You're living in a republic of China right now.

    Yeah, who are we to argue with China, they've been doing things their way since long before we were countries.
