Ouch. I can&#8217;t believe I paid a man $50 to do something that felt like he was jabbing his elbow sharply, vengefully, with great angry gusto into my ass for 30 minutes. He told me that all my running is shifting my centre of gravity higher. He actually said the words, &#8216;your body is learning to defy gravity&#8217;. I like that thought. Maybe if I keep running, I&#8217;ll be able to float around. Maybe I&#8217;ll fly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; After my massage, when I was getting dressed, I took a peek at my backside in the mirror on the door, thought of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jsxZcKJLBw0\">Nathan Fillion<\/a>, and said out loud &#8220;how&#8217;d you like a bite of this green apple, America?&#8221; My days of not taking myself seriously are certainly coming to a middle. What if there was a camera in there? I should learn to save that sort of behaviour for home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Doctor Who season two DVDs had arrived in the mail when I got home. Hours of Tennanty goodness, in a shiny package with cybermen on it. Yum. Rose, I could live without.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Rented Zach Braff&#8217;s &#8216;The Last Kiss&#8217;. I will watch it tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Tonight, I have received seven e-mails from an obviously very bored mezzo in Saskatchewan. Sorry about your intense boredom, sweetheart. Go&#8230; look at some&#8230; wheat&#8230; or something. I&#8217;ll have some work done on your site when you get home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Both <lj user=\"godeater\"> and <lj user=\"aaronatstasis\"> have made reference to Aqua Teen Hunger Force happenings that I am totally out of the loop on. This is unacceptable. Anyone want to enlighten me? Anyone want to repurchase the ATHF DVDs I bought for JVL and I to watch that I left behind at the house when I moved? Damn, man, I should have packed that shit. When debating whether those DVDs were mine or &#8220;ours&#8221;, I should have asked myself, WWMSD? The answer: Master Shake is an asshole and would have sold JVL&#8217;s whole damn 500+ DVD collection on Ebay for $5, then stolen money from his change jar to pay the postage. Well, at least I have Wildboyz.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inklingmagazine.com\/articles\/hello-my-name-is-jane-and-im-a-genomicist\/\">Vaginas! <\/a> Read the latest article from malaria-hating molecular biologist <lj user=\"kurtrik\">.
