Cycling, But Going Nowhere…

Yesterday, I found myself with some time on my hands, and as usual when that happens, I do some PT. After a morning of mostly just lazing around, interrupted by a quick hike over to the 7-11, I decided I wanted to get a workout in before heading to the office party over at [...]

It’s the ‘Stache, I Tell You

I was just at my friend Nicki’s, and her cousin Amanda’s combined birthday party. Apparently, Tom Selleck is well thought of here:

Hooker Boots

I loooove a good review, usually of the ripping the movie apart variety, but done in a funny way. Here’s one I found that was pretty hysterical, similar to two of my all-time favorite reviews, the one of The Perils of Gwendoline, and the one for John Ringo’s Paladin of Shadows series.

‘Coz, I’m in the Moog

Yes, I know that technically it’s pronounced like “rogue” vice “moon.” But anyway:

Yep

Saw the movie Yes Man. Good fun, lots of laughs in the theater.

Here’s some of his work with his former bandmates, the Argument:

Great Scots

Unapologetically mix The Byrds with The Doors, after marinating with Jimi Hendrix spiced with Blue Öyster Cult, drag the mix kicking its pointy boots into the 21st century, and you have The Aliens.
Derivative, yet somehow original, I find them lightweight, yet strangely refreshing and addictive. Like Diet Sprite…

Swingin’

So, Saturday, I helped Chris give his German longsword seminar at University of Mary Washington. It was an all-afternoon affair, from like, 1300 to 1700. So we did get some training time in.
All-in-all it was fun, and I think I had met or seen all but one of the participants before, from Fencing [...]

One’s On The Way

After a… smashing workout tonight (fast-paced kettlebell snatches, followed by hard thrashing of the heavy bag, followed by LCCJs), I settled down to recover by watching a couple of episodes of The Muppet Show on DVD.
First I watched the episode with Liberace. Enjoyable playing and a lot of humor. As a kid watching [...]
