A Geek in Beantown

Sinfest was especially cute today!

Shhh!

So about 2 weeks ago I started exercising regularly. I've been pretty lame about it and got to the point where I was ready to do something. I get up at 6 am most week mornings, get dressed, and head to the office. There's a small exercise room with 2 treadmills, 2 of the easier on your knees walking things, a stationary bike and a weight machine. So far, I've just been walking. And because I was afraid of walking too much the first day, I started out at 15 minutes on an easy pace (plus cooldown time). I'm walking 30 mins at a fast pace now. I need to adjust my heart rate higher next.

Anyway, it's been nice. As a reward, I'm gonna get myself some exercise bras soon. And I might get a second iPod so I can have books on one and music on the other (if they share, you can't easily switch from a book to music and back again because you can't jump to the right spot in the book). We'll see.

I figured I'd kept it up long enough that I could mention it. :)

Random Thoughts for the Day

(from a friend)

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet? [I know how!]
6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
7. MapQuest really needs to  start their directions on #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of  my neighborhood.
8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person  died.
9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
10. Bad decisions make good stories.
11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the  day.
12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my  collection...again.
13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes  to.
14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this -- ever.
15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Darn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
17. I keep some people's  phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
18. My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How in the world do I respond to  that?
19. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
20. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would  bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.

Sorry I haven't been around much. I do post to twitter and Facebook semi-regularly though.
