Haven’t logged much in a little while. Been doing small, sporadic little workout sessions, mostly picking up the kettlebell for a few drills, some qi gong and yoga exercises, and a good longsword session. Today, I went hardcore. A little strength, a litte METCON. A good bit of sweat. I think I needed it. I’d [...]

So, I’m smugly proud of myself for the time being. Had another decent PT session. Short but sweet. Almost more of a tonic to calm me down for the evening. It’s been that kind of week. I had a good, hard sweat fest earlier in the week, but I missed documenting it. But that’s okay. [...]

Recovering from a good one, today. Basically a variation on the CFT Variation 3 (Combined w/UAW). This time, for the Pre- and Post-Fatigue sections, I did several of the exercises for 15 counts instead of a steady 10. And for the Core, I did quick-time snatches, starting off with the 32 kg. Start left arm, [...]

Here’s a new one from titanium soul: Just a short little piece that I was working with. It was actually inspired by a piece by Philip Sheppard from the Science Channel program “Moon Machines.” In other (but maybe related news, now that I think about it…), my mom’s latest PET scan (no, not for the [...]

Yes, I know that technically it’s pronounced like “rogue” vice “moon.” But anyway: And he plays a nice piano version of it, much more recently: Still good.

Looks like my friend Scott Simons is gonna be back in DC for a “Christmas” show… (buuut–you’re… oh, nevermind… ). Here’s a song from his new album, that was used in a WVU commercial: Start Of Somthing. Nice. Here’s some of his work with his former bandmates, the Argument: Enjoy.
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…
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 him [...]

Yup–going to the Maryland Renaissance Faire again this year, with the Mary Wash Fencing Club. There’s a lot of overlap with the Renaissance Club so we usually band together and head out that way for the last weekend of the festival. This year it’s the 18th of October. They’re headed out at like, really early [...]
