Quote of the Week and Workin' It

"I'm going to go see if any more outside has gotten inside since I smelled over here last."

-Me while trying to see if open windows were having any effect in ridding Meghan's new apartment of paint fumes.

This evening Lesley invited me over to use her weight machine. I know you might be reading this and thinking "they make horror movies that start out that way." To which I reply, "Yeah, but they make porno movies that start out that way too!" Actually it just turned out to be like one of those movies where a couple of half-naked people yank, shove and pull heavy pieces of iron around while talking about their respective days at work. You know, like "Steel Magnolias," or anything with Meg Ryan.

Lesley's weight machine may look like something out of the steam age, but it will definately give you a work out. The weight machines here at work are flaccid and ineffectual by comparison. I am going to hurt in the morning, whenever "morning" comes for me. I don't get why people always complain about hurting the morning after they work out. I've always enjoyed the sensation myself. I'm not some masochist or anything, but certain types of pain really can feel very good and healthy. Anyway, Lesley says my chest muscles look tighter. I can't tell much yet, but I'll take her word for it. However, I think I need to stop doing tricep exercises until my biceps and shoulders catch up or I am going to have Popeye arms, and while Popeye is in many ways an admirable character to emulate, I simply do not enjoy my women that skinny. Anyway, I know you do not come to LJ to read about my vainglorious attempts at physical improvements so... I will let you stop reading about them now!

I shall come upon you with FIRE and PLAGUES! (but at least I pulled out.)

Don't you HATE it when you follow a link to what looks like an interesting article of theology and apologeticism, and reading it you think that's exactly what it is, only to keep reading and find out the author is in fact a NUT JOB CULT LEADER who thinks he is THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST!? *headshake* Why do people BELIEVE these losers? The comments his worshippers post to his screedling little articles read like what Old Testament greeting cards must have looked like. Allow me to quote the only mysterious wise man I'd stumble out into the desert to follow, Obi-Wan Kenobi: "Who's a greater fool? The fool or the fool who follows him?"

Follow the link if for no other reason than to check out the pictures of the guy. He looks like Brigham Young! Must be the standard-issue uniform of desert-dwelling megalomaniacs of the American west. *shrug* Oh well. Moving on.
