utterly trivial
Jul. 23rd, 2004 10:21 pmI've been trying to write a serious post for a couple of days now, but it's just not coming. So I'll write a trivial one, in the hopes that eventually something serious will slip out without me noticing.
In the interest of better brain chemistry, I've been going to the gym a lot lately. It helps. And I'm getting my muscles back, which makes me deleriously happy.
So the other week I'm watching this guy do chin-ups, because I WANT to do chin-ups. I can't do them. Not even one. My goal at the end of all this is to do chin-ups. Well, and to throw people across the room, but in my head that's easier to do if you can already do chin-ups.
So the guy I'm watching isn't very big. The kind of muscles taht are usually described as "lean". He looks fast. And as I'm watching him, he does this thing where he swings his legs and flips himself over so that he is now above the chin-up bar with his legs above his head. And starts doing chin-ups upside-down. Except now I guess they are chin-downs, since his entire body is above the bar.
So SpiderMan works out at the West End Y. Who knew?
--------
I tried to empty some stuff out of my gym bag today so it would stop pulling my shoulder down between my elbows. It contained:
I should count getting this stuff to the gym in the first place as a workout all on it's own.
--------
I don't think any of my serious leaked out.
Better luck next time.

I tried to empty some stuff out of my gym bag today so it would stop pulling my shoulder down between my elbows. It contained:
- A complete change of clothes so I can go directly to work afterwards
- Soap, shampoo, towel etc, so I can go to work not smelling like a camel
- My lunch, and dinner, and a snack, because I can't eat beforehand and I need calories in a "hand over the chocolate bar and nobody gets hurt" kind of way immediately after
- My shoes, because I refuse to put wear on a pair of shoes that cost as much as the rest of my wardrobe put together by doing something as mundane with them as walking
- A 40-pound bottle of water, which I will finish off completely and then go looking for a water fountain.
- And for today only, all my hair gear, including blow-dryer and crimping iron, so I can go to Jason's housewarming straight from work.
I should count getting this stuff to the gym in the first place as a workout all on it's own.
