the_siobhanToday is hang-around-house in jammies day.
Yes, I actually bought pajamas. I haven't owned pajamas since I was six. But our house is uninsulated and therefore cold at night, and my ususal full-time human furnace is off galavanting around England somewhere and hopefully having many pints poured down him. So as of a few days ago I now own pajamas. They are red-and-pink plaid. And have a pink bow on them. Shut up. They're warm.
------------------------------
I like magazines that talk about things like proper form while lifting weights, how to make routines more challenging, how to use the new equipment that keeps popping up in the gym like shiny metal-and-plastic mushrooms. I don't want to read about any more fucking diets or Top Ten Ways To Burn Calories While Having Sex. I am tired of the constant assumtion that women only work out in order to lose weight.
Is there even such an animal as a magazine or website or resource that does the former and leaves out the latter? Anywhere?
------------------------------
I keep seeing commercials for a DVD set of some TV show called Nip/Tuck. I have never seen the show. And the DVD cover creeps me out so fucking badly, I probably never will.

When I was walking home yesterday I got panhandled by a guy in what appeared to be a home-made leatherface mask. Made out of old brown paper bags from the look of it.
Just before the bridge that I cross under to get to my house, I passed a guy who was doing that long-legged stride favoured by those who are used to doing most of their getting around by walking. He looked like a traveller, wearing slightly dusty clothes and with an enourmous knapsack strapped to his back, the top of it piled high with a sleeping bag and foam sleeping pad. And on top of the whole thing perched a plump white cat, looking lazily around at the scenery as they went.
You know, they have frou-frou art galleries all over this neighbourhood and I almost never bother to go inside them. I think the really interesting stuff is usually on the outside.

Date: 2006-11-20 11:26 am (UTC)i'm told it's because of the way our reproductive organs are constructed, and their temperature requirements. women keep theirs inside, and they need to stay nice and warm. so as soon as it's cold our bodies start to reduce circulation to our extremities. men's are on the outside, and need to be not too cold or too warm, so their bodies do not reduce the circulation to their outsides quite so much for fear of killing their sperm with cold.
