So I gymbunnied this afternoon. (insert ubiquitous "ow" here) Really need to go more often than once a week, so I've sort of made it my resolution to get in there twice more this week, maybe once on Thursday and once on Saturday. We'll see how that goes. Meantime, I'm still all yummy sore, so I'm enjoying that. I feel like I got something done. I'm vastly amused that you can now get full cable on those little flatscreen monitors that are attached to the aerobic machines. Oh boy. You can now stairclimb to MTV. Although I was actually amused by the passel of office assistants treadmilling/biking/pseudonordictracking and watching their soap operas of choice. Ah, so that's where they all disappear to at 1 o'clock... Also saw Lisa DeCarolis there, which is always cause for bouncitty bounce bounce bounce. We ♥ Lisa...

Muscle memory is truly an amazing thing. You spend any extended period of time weight training and then leave it for a few years, and it's kinda scary how quick your tone comes back when you start up again. I've already started regaining those tasty little bicep lines in my arms. The ones sundart likes to gnaw on when they're there. ;) Go me.

Had a fairly weird moment after the gymbunnying was done where I happened to catch my reflection in a bathroom mirror... I can go a few days without really looking into mirrors sometimes, but this time I regarded myself with a grin, 'cause even though I was fairly scummy from the gym experience, I was still having a fascinatingly cute moment. Usually I'm like yeah, whatever regarding me personally and my looks, but today... well, shit, if I looked that good completely gross and sweaty imagine what a bath would do for me. ;)

anyhoo. must shower, eat and settle down to the mountain o' work that must be done. *sigh*

I would like to start gymbunnying again. I can use the Smith gym for free, right? How does one aquire an alumna card so one may use the gym?

We ♥ Lisa...

We do indeed. Next time you see her, pass on a hi from me, would you? I keep chickening out from emailing her.

Onecards and strife...

You need to see the tall drink of water with the british accent and tell him you're a Smith alum. He will look you up, take your picture, and poof, you get a little card you can now use to get into campus buildings, print in the compy centers, buy sodas from any machine you happen by, bla bla bla. Oh, and if you ever need to ride the PVTA (since the 43 isn't free anymore, the bastards), casually cover the spot where it says "alumna" and look studentlike, and they'll let you ride...

Oh, and you can get into the gym too. ;) Just go straight in through Scott to get to Olin.

hee. I'll do that, but I swear, she would TOTALLY be psyched to hear from you and you should get around to emailing her sometime.

Oops. The computer store, right by the USC.

dude, i didn't know one could get an alum card at the computer store or i would have done it the last time i visited the USC.

now, the next question is how late is the store open until b/c i'm not back in noho until 4:30.

talking about that, if you want to do late afternoon cardio a few times a week, let me know.
