apparently i'm ... "it"

i sort of love this. people of the technically-grown-up variety who a few years back in all likelihood made snide remarks of kids on teh internet are now writing voluminous screeds on this and that all but daily, and generally being kids about it in the process.

i was hit by another blog tag. this time: "five things you obsess about".

sorry anna, this kid is jaded and has a penchant for the conceptual. i will list one thing i obsess about:

1. cat macros. i mention this simply because it's impacting my productivity today. i can't stop going through that shit.

the rest i would like to crowdsource. as in help me out, here. YOU tell me what i obsess about. tell me at keltanen@gmail.com or with the "drop me a line" thingy top right if you want to be anonymous. i'll add them here.

training log

after today's gym session, my decidedly feel-the-burn type macho tiny h&m plastic bag — "designed by madonna" — that contained my fresh underwear & deodorant collapsed from its ordained position in the locker and made a rather unpleasant crashing sound upon meeting the cold hard floor.

consider the context. guys' locker room. right? i honestly can't tell you which i was more keen to wipe off my one clean pair of briefs post haste: the scary shards of glass from the deo container, or the blotches of really suspicious white spoogy substance they were suddenly covered in.

in any case — i put them on, and judging from quantity of deodorant implicitly worn as a consequence (ick) i am expecting to break my next sweat maybe sometime in late 2010.

as a side note: your underutilized brain goes random free-association places when working out. like those names of the exercise machines?

calf raise = premodern career development
chin up bar = your local where everyone is really supportive
hip abductor = ford prefect
not a machine, but there's also a: ball rack holder

hey, i didn't ask to think about them either.
