i’ll take preorders for gun show tickets

Today was a bad ass day at the gym, although I may be too sore tomorrow to raise my hands above my head.

My benchpressing has been going increasingly well as of late and tonight, I skyrocketed past my personal best.

I did 100lbs for six reps, and followed that with 110lbs for three reps. So awesome.

I forced down 50 ounces of water, before I caved in and convinced myself I needed a real Coke. Then, it was water and apple juice for the rest of the night. Apple juice isn’t ideal, but it’s better than a Coke.

Way too much inattentive dining out last week and entirely too much regular soda almost made my five trips to the gym all for naught, because I only lost 1.5 lbs. I guess it’s 1.5 lbs I won’t have to lose next week, though, so I won’t complain too much.

It was awesome this week to look in my checking account online and see the gym had only deducted $12 from my checking account. My health insurance just switched over to giving me $20 off my monthly membership, as long as I hit the gym eight times a month. This was the first month it took into effect. And I’m excited to say I’ve already been there 8 times this month and it’s only the 17th.

And in order to follow my strict orders of getting 8 hours of sleep tonight, I have to go to bed right this very second.

suddenly, i don’t want eggs

I eat a lot of eggs and I do so for a couple of reasons. Let’s examine them, shall we?

  1. They are one of the few things I know how to cook.
  2. They contain quite a bit of protein.

But quite possibly no more. CBS is enlisting eggs in its scramble to attract viewers.

More than 35 million eggs will be marked with phrases such as “CSI: Crack the Case on CBS” and “The Class, New Grade-A CBS Comedy” as part of a deal between the CBS Marketing Group and EggFusion, an egg-coding company.

If I go to crack open an egg, only to find a lame pitch for one of 2098 CSI series, I will not be happy. It almost trumps my fear of cracking open an egg to find an unborn chicken fetus.

it breaks my heart

Justin Timberlake, because he’s so awesome at everything else, decided he wanted to try to make movies. His first attempt? Edison. Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey, LL Cool J – there were a ton of great people starring in the movie with him.

I guess it didn’t help much, because it’s headed straight for DVD due to so many poor test screenings. The good news? It’s going to be released tomorrow and I have it as #1 in my Netflix queue.

What can I say? I’m a sucker for former boy band members, and I’m not too ashamed to admit it!
