I guess I shouldn't have walked to work this morning. I was on the fence, but figured it'd do good. I walked pretty slowly to work. I made it, at least. But, feel like poo.

I think I sort of have a cold going - so I went to the drugstore to get cold medicine. To get *any* cold medicine, you have to sign something and show photo id.

I finished the second audiobook in the His Dark Materials series, and started on the third, and realized I have no desire to listen to it. I generally don't do series back-to-back like that, I get bored almost always. I have to mix it up some. I joined Audible.com last night, but I think I'm going to cancel after the 3 month lower r...

Manhattan on days like today is pretty amusing - there's hardly anyone around. The subway was maybe 1/3 full - there were empty seats most of the week. Most days, it's jammed full of people.

I found a few, the first one I found was out on long island. I checked Chow Hound, and found one in Manhattan that looks interesting (http://www.iceculinary.com/). That place has a pro chef program and whatnot, so that seems to be more appealing to me than the other places I've looked. I'm considerin...

Back to the grind

Monday, December 22nd 2008

After a week + 1 day off, back to work today. I have to work all this week, but I get christmas day off. But, I'm on call, but there's no changes allowed this week or next, so on call should be pretty light.

After not doing p90 or really any exercise for 3 days, I did cardio last night. Earlier in the fall or late summer, a friend of mine was trying to do the 100 pushups program. In September or so, i thought i was going to try to do it. I did the initial 'see how many pushups you can do' p...
