Olympus Stylus 710 blows

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

My beloved Canon PowerShot SD 700IS is in the shop right now after it started making really weird noises and the switch to toggle between functions broke. So I am stuck using the ever evil Olympus, which some of you may remember was defective and took three attempts and several angry complaining emails to get […]

oooh, I rather like this one…

Monday, July 21st, 2008

it is dramatic AND in all caps. The woman is clearly very upset about what happened, and I love that she wants to send it back. I am considering hitting reply and saying “yes, please send it back. Book rate is fine.”
HI RICK,
I HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH YOU AND FAMILY. I AM SORRYI […]

AMRAP 20min
9 push press 75#
15 push ups (chest to floor)
12 p-bar dips (unassisted)

My arms were numb after this. I went to fatigue about 30 times and was barely managing 3 push-ups at a time. Wow.

Do not challenge 21 year old Air Force boy to a push-up contest on the Strip. You will lose.
But it will still be funny.

things I don’t want to find in your apartment if I’m dating you

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Yes, I have found all of these things in the apartments of guys I’ve dated over the years. Usually on the first or second date, though there were a few that I found months into the relationship, which was even more disturbing.

Your herpes medication in the medicine cabinet (okay, maybe I’m glad I found that […]

I am no alyssa milano

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Sometimes I read Alyssa Milano’s blog to make sure I’m up to date. And I came across this quote about how she fucks MLB pitchers:

“My social life doesn’t consist of going to clubs like some of my peers. You won’t find me at Hyde or whatever club some of my contemporaries find fashionable at the […]

not so harmonious

Monday, July 14th, 2008

My sister just filled out an eHarmony questionnaire and was rejected, so she challenged me to do it. So I’ve been up for the last hour checking boxes that say I prefer a guy who “wipes his own ass” and “has personality” and “isn’t homeless” and “graduated from high school.” I’ve also had to check […]

saturday morning… not feeling so hot

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

Okay, this was terrible. I felt terrible when I woke up (had that puke-y sort of it’s-too-early-I-want-to-stay-in-bed) and felt even worse when I worked out. Sigh.
Here’s some notes from the workout.

100 squats
Today some of us tried squatting down to the hooverball instead of the medicine ball. Yeah, that was really really low. But since I […]
