(no subject)

Last night ninjas who dream of being secretaries had the unexpected benefit of gratuitous nudity, inexplicable B&D, and aliens. Psychotronic and the venue are winning me over more each week.

The less I do the less I do. When I have projects without deadlines, they don't get done. The gym happens like religion (only it's real) but I still haven't re-bid my insurance, cleaned the home, ebay'd my crap, taken anything to charity, researched and bought more stocks, anything that I want to do but could put off.

I did try to set up my new modem, again, but can't get it to allow the vpn connection. My old modem works fine with my work laptop, with full outlook access through vpn, but oddly the new modem shows the successful vpn connection but then while the internet works outlook will not establish a connection. I think it has something to do with the setup routine you do through an ip address but that is going beyond my knowledge level even with the manual.

Today is coffee, chiro, gym, and work at home. Tomorrow is office, gym. Fri is office, gym, shopping, b'more, more work, then another b'more weekend. Wonderfully drama-free and dull. I'll take it.

Lamé

The truth is I AM LAME. I know you know, but I tend to forget that fact sometimes. How lame?

I finally told my computer/dvr to stop recording "Enterprise." I just...that show was so close to not sucking. I can't get over it - good concept, some capable actors, lots of old-school participants, but a giant bucket of crap execution. Oddly their writers were consistent with history, only to leave gaping plot holes that even a cgi syfy movie would find shameful. The most emotional member of the crew was the vulcan. The worst possible parallel universe episode, and subsequent ending, imaginable. The thing I can never get away from is the startup song...a rock-ballad soft rock LOVE SONG. The fuck people? The best episodes were the alt universe because the start song was evil, and...classical. Not a soft-rock love song for a space rocket show, but a classical music score to show conquest. So close, so much potential to give me 30 more episodes of old crap to watch while I die of cancer in a hospital bed!

Lame is the fact I've posted about this before too.

Lame is me not being lame which makes me lamer. Today I was successful in doing a deadlift of 320 for 5 times, followed by 5setsx10reps of 235 MINUS one on the last bit because my grip gave out (I don't use wraps). It's not so lame to do that, but lame that I want to talk about it. Here I am fulfilling my urge to talk by writing what I would say if I actually called someone to tell them I DL 320 for 5. Ugh. I know it's no big deal - sure it's good for my weight, but if I were stronger I'd weigh more. I've met guys my height who weigh and subsequently lift twice what I do. I'm more happy that I did this in a way that didn't wrench my back - as I postulated earlier, I think I found what I was doing wrong and my DL may shoot up rapidly until I find my real max. Hopefully my squat will also come up to join...but wow. I still need to talk about it. Sad really.
