Thursday, August 3rd - notes to myself
  • Delany is not treadmill compliant.
  • wearing a tank top, shorts and sandals can be cold around here when you get home after dark
  • it can also make you feel vulnerable when the drunks lurch up to talk to you after you watch Survivor at Kimio's
  • Harry Potter, now that's good treadmill
  • when they get your order wrong at Ichi's, they fix it and let you keep the mistake rolls too
  • salmon skin has an unpleasant texture
  • it tastes gross too :-P
  • when you feel faint on a treadmill, you find yourself looking at the women beside whom you've alienated with your earphones, and you wonder just how fast she'd push the STOP BELT button if you fell
  • sushi is a much appreciated host gift
  • in the Bay Area
  • the next thing she said after "are you ok?" was "don't keep sitting there, your butt will get wet!"
  • if you sit closer to the TV, you can ignore those (friends) of yours who DARE SPEAK while Survivor is on!
  • (yes, I'm kidding - sorta)
  • drinking water in the steam room helps prevent your after-workout dizzy head from getting worse
  • Colleen is getting too skinny; Kelly's the new Survivor babe
  • she's also my new pick to win it
  • working out makes me actively crave protein
  • instead of chocolate
  • Colleen also sounds somewhat like Holly
  • I just realized that last night
  • after working out, find a sushi restaurant in Berkeley, not Oakland, especially when dizzy, low blood sugar and premenstrual
  • brilliant editing last night - did you see when Colleen was talking about Rich being the devil and they cut her voice over video of him catching stingrays with his little forked spear?
  • ordering edamame was a good idea
  • at least I could eat something while I waited for the salmon nigiri
  • I agree, Colleen, Rich is a putz
  • and yes, I can use the word, "putz", even if I am from Indiana
  • only
    one
    slice of pizza?
  • Rich was too excited to win immunity
  • and next time, leave before Big Brother can begin to suck out your brains
  • Exercise log:

    Lifted weights: since legs were so intense in yoga class, I skipped them to do chest and triceps. Abs, as usual. I did about 25 minutes on the treadmill before I got so dizzy I thought I was going to fall - and that would be scary, on a treadmill. I'm glad I did, as when I crouched to refill my water bottle right afterwards, I blacked out and fell on my butt.


    Writing log:

    Erm. Yeah. I'm getting to it tonight.


    I'm currently reading:

    Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand by Samuel R. Delany
