bearshortyThis morning I did my exercises, I think I’ve settled on every other day since I get a house to myself in the morning. I did crunches, 15 minutes on elliptical, sit ups and push ups. I will conquer the damn push up! It is a worthy goal.
Dan Savage is doing “It Gets Better” Project” posting videos to tell young people, especially gay teenagers, that life gets better after high school. This was prompted by a suicide of a 15 year old boy. I think it is a worthy cause. This was his and his husband’s video and it is very amazing. High school sucks for most people mostly because being a teenager sucks in many ways and it is hard to imagine life after high school until you actually leave. My high school experience was pretty good, actually, much better than junior high, mostly because I met my girls there and I wasn’t bullied in home room, but there was still some teenage angst. But I know too many people for whom it was much worse.
Some new policies under new health care law – this USAToday article actually spells out the new rules in a chart on the bottom. I was actually curious about it all and ashamed that I didn’t know too many details before. Health insurance is sort of important.
I started reading “Theatre” by W. Somerset Maugham since I’m irritated at the writing style of “Catherine the Great” biography. I really like his writing style and, now that I read the first chapter, I’m really looking forward to the rest of the book.
I went with Mama to her doctor’s appointment and was sitting in the doctor’s office grading papers to Mozart’s Requiem. It drowned out the TV and the noise and was actually great music to grade to. After Mama was done we visited my grandmother’s cemetery to water the plants. We only had two water bottles so I was going back and forth to fill them with water for a while. After all the morning exercises and the sit ups my legs were mad at me.
“Highlander” S6E3 Lots of filler in this episode like the use of katana sequence. I guess Mac is really taking a break from taking heads for a bit. Duncan is wearing the ugliest coat in the world in this episode, he can dress nicely if he wants but most of the time he has ill fitting pants and this ratty coat thing. Yeah, I can see Season 6 drop in quality from this episode. I did love that Amanda taught Mac how to crack safes. They were trying a bit too hard with Alex Raven there. I’m just glad they didn’t sleep together.
