Happiness is a warm gun

Today I want to kill something.

On the one hand, it's kind of fascinating to watch the progression of my mental state as my endorphin dependancy kicks in. I could chart it if I wanted to; count the number of times I've thought about violence and plot it against days since I last worked my body to a hard sweat. I fantasise about taking blood samples and measuring serotonin levels, testosterone, the dance of chemistry as it plays my psyche like a piano. Wiring myself up to electrodes and watching my brainwaves as they respond to images of running, of hitting, of explosions, of zombies!

On the other hand, I just want to kill something.

I stayed home on Saturday night and played Quake. It was very satisfying. Come over and play anytime anytime you need a "killing things" fix.

Hint. Don't do this while listening to Beethoven's 9th.

Is there any kind of exercise you can do without exacerbating your injury? Swim? Bicycle? Dance? Sex?

I only wish I had time to have that much sex. :-)

Fortunately I have tentative permission to start some careful exercising next week, so the Reign of Terror is put off for an indefinite period of time.

If I ever end up going back to school to study that sort of thing (which is an occasional daydream, but one of the more practical ones) I'd be happy to use you as a subject.
