Hmmmm now this should be rather interesting. I'm seeing a 5-4 vote here...anyone else...now as to which direction the vote goes in...hmmm...well that remains to be seen....I'm betting that Souter, Kennedy, or even O'Conner will be the swing vote on this one...
My nose is stuffed up, I'm getting a haircut, and I want to die as my ribs were killing me this morning.
On the plus side...I get to see the New Crush tonight. I've brought along my new jeans as well...I'm happy now. I can face the day. New Crush had better be there tonight... :) Heck, even if Old Crush is there I can show off how dazzling I look...the new slimmer, trimmer me :)

Driving Miss Daisy was on this afternoon. After Thelma & Louise it is perhaps one of my favorite films. I'm into those relationship oriented films where you see the characters evolve around each other, the times, and situation. DMD is just one of those films that when I saw it I just sat there through the credits and as the cleaning crew came into the theatre because I was so in awe of what I had just seen. I dunno maybe it's just my Southern roots or something but it really hit me. I didn't cry at all during it but I was so moved by how these two people from such different backgrounds had come to not only like each other but, to a certain degree, love each other. In some sense, you could say they were an old married couple...some people say that the Oscar was wasted on this movie but I totally disagree. This movie is layer upon layer of history, sociology, and character analysis.
Why I love my gym
1) The big basket of fresh fruit always filled with oranges, apples, and bananas. I'm telling ya there's nothing like biting into a crisp Granny Smith apple at the end of a workout.
2) I get everything I want from weights to cardio and it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg.
3) They open early and close late.
4) The nice fluffy bath towels immediately available after you're done working out. And that don't bat and eye when you ask for a second one to take into the sauna with you.
5) The fact that on a Sunday afternoon, I was the only person working out in my gym for about two hours or so. Even better, there is practically no one there when I go to workout which means I can get in, get out, and get a good, effective workout without having to wait around for the machine of my desire.
Yep, I went to the gym this afternoon and did my hour on the runner. On the good side, I have met my first goal of doing 5.75 miles on the runner which means I have to do one of three things -- 1) Go up a level, 2) Change my workout program (the "Around the World" hill program sounds daunting enough), or 3) a combination of 1 and 2. I'm just pissed that the runner doesn't let me program 80 minutes into the machine since a full rugby match is 80 minutes. Doesn't matter if I can do the first 60 when it's the last 20 that really count. When all was said and done and the cool down complete...I did over six miles and burned over 1000 calories. Damn do I feel good...

I'm contemplating a trip to the gym today as I will be going on the chorus retreat this weekend and will miss a workout on Friday. Now, I know what you're all saying...Brian, how can that make much of a difference. Well, it does. Friday is a cardio day which means an hour on the elliptical runner which means I come off the machine dripping in sweat (and feeling fabulous...those last ten minutes are awesome) and I really don't want to put those nasty sweaty clothes into my bag that I'm taking upstate with me. Granted the place where we are going has a gym on site and I can make up the workout on Sunday (that would be a weights day) but then I don't get another day off from the gym until the following Sunday. I'm following a six day program alternating between cardio and weights and well...I don't like to get off schedule if I don't have to...
Anyway...I'm probably gonna do it but we shall see....Maybe I'll do cardio today and tomorrow...eh...I dunno....we'll see...
