Wednesday, January 7th - Hodge Podge

I don't really have a narrative for today. So, I'm just going to throw out my bullet lists of musings.

• I'm in Love with Expresso Bikes - No, they aren't some sort of bike that has a coffee IV (though...hmmm, I may be on to something there), but they are these new bikes that they have at my gym. Not only are they internet enabled so that you can track your progress on a website, but they have a screen attached to them that runs a video game of various environments that you can bike through. It's basically a graphical user interface that is much more interesting that watching that LED indicator show you how the resistance is changing. Also, the handle bars swivel so you can steer around corners and such, and you can change gears. I make no bones about the fact that I hate cardio, and I have to say, if I can get one one of these bikes a few times a week, I'll be a skinny minni in no time!
• Christmas is Over: Anne Coulter's Jaw is No Longer Wired Shut - It was with great disdain that I got home from the gym today to hear that Anne Coulter is rearing her ugly head again. God, what a bitch, and I won't even dignify her with anymore space - other than she talked longer on the Today show than it took me to take my Wii Fit Body Test for the day. boo!
• This Is the Funniest Story of the Year (so far):
  While I can certainly feel sorry for this guy for falling off the ski lift and dangling pantless for 7 minutes, I really can't stop laughing at this particular case of schadenfreude. I know how difficult the ski lifts are, and I am thankful this has never happened to me. Sure, I've ran into ski instructors and taken out whole lines of people on the bunny slope, but this is just wrong. For the best write up (and photo attribution) go over to Dlisted.
• TV, My Love, You Return to Me: It's been a barren few weeks of TV repeats for me, which has made me listless and cranky (no, not really), but it has put me into a sense of mourning for the shows going away that I hardly knew (sniff, Pushing Daisies), but now, in the first few weeks of a burgeoning new year and new dawn in Washington, I am getting fresh episodes of Gossip Girl, Desperate Housewives, Brother's & Sisters, Grey's Anatomy, and Private Practice, along with the return of Damages, Battlestar Galactica (sniff...the last episodes), American Idol, Burn Notice, and even Nip/Tuck, that I will give another "try" to until they have another storyline with a girl on laxatives lets it all go in a hot tub. It is good to be a couch potato. Though, my new workout schedule is going to severely hamper my viewing time. I am a happy camper!
• No Words:
