I'm SOOORE~

I boxed yesterday on Wii Sports for half an hour, did power throw training in bowling, home run training in baseball, dodging balls in boxing (which I think I got a little too enthusiastic in and wrenched my neck, but not badly XD;; And I got a platnum medal, I only got hit by five balls!), then went to punching the bag after dinner for another half an hour. My arms hurt. My arms and my shoulders hurt. XD; I'm not used to this!

Still, seems like it may have helped. I know you're not supposed to weigh yourself daily, but I was lighter by the end of yesterday than I was the day before, and this morning I was even lighter. Not by much, only about a pound and a half both times, but still, that's good. (I had steak last night and figured I wouldn't have lost anything.) Anyway, I've decided, now that I have a Wii in both places and have absolutely no excuse NOT to use it, I'm going to at least train on the punching bag every day for half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the evening. Evening will have to be as soon as I get home, I guess. Not supposed to work out too close to bedtime. I think it's something like three hours before, but I think I saw something recently that said five hours. I was going to work out this morning, but I woke up for about an hour last night and hit snooze when the alarm went off, so that killed that. ^^;

All I need is something for my lower body, hehe. Can't play DDR in Brooklyn. Could if I lived on the first floor, or no one lived below us...

I haven't done a BIT of writing since... the 8th. Need to get on that. I'm a good 10,000 words behind now.

(no subject)

I do not know this Rube Goldberg person (I don't think). I DO know Mouse Trap. This is Mouse Trap. Remember that game?

(I've been wasting time on that site all day, yep. Have also been struggling not to laugh out loud so people think I'm crazy.)

Tomorrow should be VERY interesting. All CONNECTIONS people will be in Albany for a presentation by Nancy, Maureen, and Dona regarding what they work on. That leaves... me and Cheresse. Well, and Anne, but she doesn't count. Joe will be in in the afternoon, and I'm not sure he's going to the meeting tomorrow. Everyone else should be. Learned from Maureen that the boss said he might go to someone's retirement party tomorrow (in Albany), and might end up staying there an extra day. Yesplz. This would officially be the Best Week Ever, except maybe the weeks during the time Joan broke her ankle and we had three months of No Joan at Tax. It was a beautiful thing. I felt bad for her at first (because, really, who wants to break their ankle on vacation? Before they really even get to do anything?), but then the really selfish part of me didn't give a crap. Broken ankle meant no Joan looming over my shoulder and giving me looks and ignoring me when I tried to make a point or even said hi. (She did that once. I wanted to slap her.)

Picked up Super Mario Galaxy. Will play after boxing tonight. Forgot about the coin that comes with reservations. XD Shall put it away someplace safe. Top drawer, probably.

I'm writing, finally! Not much yet, since I've been laughing at lolcats all day, but I'm getting something done. Back to that now. Probably won't write when I get home. Pretty distractions there.

Super Mario Galaxy = AWESOME. And you know what? Any game that reprises the airship theme from Super Mario Bros. 3 gets flagged as AWESOME. CJ has spoken.

But yes, fun game, glad I got it. It's good to just have a normal Mario platformer. First boss freaked me out for a bit. No spoilers here. XD I've stopped playing for the night because I'll be up all night playing it, and while I don't particularly need to be awake tomorrow for work, I don't want to be exhausted because I couldn't stop playing.

Time to write now. ^^;

Curse you, Pick 10 quick pick!

Never fails. Every time I get a quick pick, the numbers that are actually drawn dance right around the numbers I got. I swear, if I just get a QP and then play another game picking my own numbers, deliberately picking numbers surrounding the numbers the QP gives me, I'll hit for more than $4 or $10. 9_9 Stupid machines. Oh well, it was only a buck.

Need my bed soon. Very tired. I played a marathon boxing session on Wii Sports. Was only supposed to do half an hour, but I decided to play through the actual game on a guest file and see how far I could get before I lost. I got to the trainer (aka, the one with the silver boxing gloves that I must have on my Mii, damnit). I knocked him down once, tried to will him to stay down, and was forced to watch as he got back up and royally kicked my ass. XD; It was like something snapped. I managed to get him down the first time, and he got up, and from the way he laid into me, it was like, "Oh, HELL no." I didn't get back up. TKO. Dead. I don't think I've beaten the trainer yet. (I've only gotten up to him on the guest Mii, because I like starting from the beginning when I box.) He's an evil bastard of a black man. Anyway. XD;; I ended up doing about an hour, so good for me, though my arms are still killing me.

I have a craving for some celery with peanut butter on it. o_o Childhood loves are attacking me again.
