You're In Charge. Make It Good 

There's some crazy shenanigans going on lately. But first and foremost,

Angel? CANCELED? NO! What the fuck now? Seriously. It was the one thing I looked forward to watching all week. In some cases, it was all I watched all week.

Maybe a smart channel will pick it up instead.

Legs are still crazy sore. I spend most of my time stretching out and laying in bed. If only I could get paid for it. I'd be rich. Very very rich.

This of course means, I haven't spent that much time on the computer unless it's to respond to e-mails, or do some design work. Knit This now has a logo. Please welcome Dewey, the Motown Sheep, into your lives.

There was some disturbing drama at work, too. Someone quit over money issues, and then it gets crazy from there. I dont know the full story, but it's split the place into two camps.

On the upside to everything, I do believe I have someone interested in this old body. We'll find out. But, even coworkers are telling me it's blatantly obvious she's flirting with me. And the best part is.....she's actually older. 32. Teacher. Cute.

But, being as stupidly shy and afraid to step out of my little bubble, this will be a major step towards changing things in my life.

Of course, the last person I tried asking out turned out to be married, which she NEVER let me know until she invited me over to the house where I met her husband.

That was awkward.

Dead Like Me 

Dead Like Me - The Complete First Season

Now if they'd only announce Carnivale on DVD, I'd be a happy man.

Work continues on logo ideas for Knit This. My favorite one will probably not be used. Once I scan them I'll try and get them up here.

So sore. My thigh muscles are very angry with me today. I've been apologizing, but they refuse to answer the phone.

Western Hemisphere Smart 

We all ask ourselves questions. Who am I? How much did I have to drink? Why am I still working here?

My question of the day is, what the hell was I thinking?

I went to work out for the first time today. It was more of an orientation really. But, Justine, or Christine...I can't remember. There was definitely an "tine" in her name though. X-Tine had me use EVERY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT EVER CREATED. Not just one or two times, but ten...twenty reps per machine.

"This will work your knees." She would say.

I would say, "Oh yeah. I can feel that." I would be thinking, "Sweet lord. I can feel bones turning to dust. Are those angels singing?"

There would then be some internal whimpering, and we'd move on to the next machine. Triceps. Biceps. Calves. Knees. They were all worked on. By the end, my legs were shaky, and my knees were. If I were Elvis, I'd be all shook up.

But here's the kicker. 35 minutes. That's all it was. 35 minutes. With four pounds max. I am a walking, talking weakling of disturbing magnitude.

Let's not talk about the fact that I will never shower in public. Nor do I necessarily feel comfortable with naked guys wandering around all (excuse the terminology) willy nilly. It's weird. And weird. And it all brings me back to grade school and figuring out ways to escape taking a shower in gym class. Except now I can just claim phobia and shower at home.

Still. Naked guys should not just walk around as if they don't realize they have no clothes on. It's just damn weird.

Now I just need to keep going. I'd like to get down to a skinny weight just once in my life. Actually looking fit and feeling fit would be nice, too.

Then watch out ladies.

I'm listening to Nellie McKay right now. She won me over when she was on Letterman. I've listened to about half the first CD, and she's fun. Bouncing from a something from a Doris Day CD to something you'd hear on an Ani Difranco CD (but, you know, something I want to listen to) is good to hear from an artist.

Yahoo! News - Original 'Star Wars' Trilogy Set for Sept. DVD Bow

Wha? Woo hoo! Although, they'll probably be the special editions, with Greedo shooting first and the Sarlaac Pit burping.
