Well, I saw ‘Sin City’ last night with JVL. I thought, quite frankly, that it was damn good. Loved the triumphant nobility-is-all, Wagnerian overtones. Gail and Marv were particularly brilliant. Very funny in parts, despite (or perhaps, because of?) the multiplicity of testicular and penile violence – lots o’ castration happening in this flick, for those of you who haven’t read the comic. Lotsa lotsa.<\/p>\n
Then, after what might be my last TTC trip home to Weston for a while if a strike happens Monday, I got home and proceeded to watch ‘Supersize Me’, which was revealing and horrifying and inspired me to pull down Justin’s dusty sit-up and weight benches and try (amusingly and incompetently) to utilize them. Am now SERIOUSLY reconsidering my idea of buying a stationary exercise bike<\/a> to peddle on while sitting at my desk. Canadian Tire has one on sale for $200<\/a>, which I think would fit under my desk (the clearance from floor to desktop is 69cm or 27.5in, which would hopefully case the flywheel portion of the machine), and I could totally get it delivered. There’s no rule against this sort of thing that I know of, as long as I continue to get my work done and the contraption doesn’t make too much noise, who’s going to complain? If Justin and I borrow his Dad’s truck this weekend, I’m driving up to the Canadian Tire at Crossroads, where it is apparently in stock, and if it’s quiet enough I’m buying it. I need more exercise!!!<\/p>\n **I would like to note that, despite the horror of obesity brought on by watching a man gain 20lbs in four weeks, I still ate 2 Timbits this morning, and am contemplating going back for a third. Why am I so weak?**<\/p>\n This weekend – Toronto’s National Home Show<\/a>! I get to see Debbie Travis in person, and drool over the Benjamin Moore booth, and meet nice contractors! Hurrah! I hope the weather is good for getting down to Exhibition Place.<\/p>\n Lastly, I really hope that Well, I saw ‘Sin City’ last night with JVL. I thought, quite frankly, that it was damn good.
