Ah, vacation.
My evenings the past couple of days have been going a bit like this: Write for about two hours solid. Browse the NaNoWriMo forums for about 5 minutes. Glance at the Uru Live forums for 10 seconds.

Go back to writing for another couple of hours. This way, I’ll complete NaNoWriMo in 8-9 days, get back into knitting quickly, and not be starved for pseudo-human contact!

(Nice of the doc to not mention it, I’ll add.) Add to that a continuation of some personal life stressors, and I’m just begging to…

The rigors of keeping a body
I tend to be one that wants some schedule, some regularity, to my workouts. I like having a “training schedule” for running, even if I’m not planning to race. I like knowing when my twice-weekly weight lifting sessions will be. Same with biking, yoga, and martial arts. But what happens when I don’t feel like doing one or any of them? I’ve been kind of dragging myself to the gym for weight lifting out of necessity these past couple of weeks. My body needs the strength, my shins especially, but I find it hard to focus and do the reps correctly, and I feel the workout’s wasted if I just…

Just… damn.
This is definitely worthy of a link, because it’s crazy silly: Perhaps-gay fellow interviews Christian minister. Just silly. And a little shocking. This is what I get for reading P6.
