A good day :)

[hkellick]

It's been a good day.
It started early this morning when I got a new lowest weight (on the scale). Yay! :) It makes all the sweating worth it to get new lowest weights :)
Got my check today and it was $225 more than I expected too. That's a second yay! :)
Did a full 60 minutes of cardio, too.. triple yay there.
and I finally got off my ass and bought "Comfort Eagle" by Cake (I believe if I like a band enough, I should buy their CDs. I like Cake alot. So I bought a CD. I'll buy more when I can.)
So all in all, a good day :) Yay for that :)

So I have to begin to wonder... I've read Kar's Post and my own last post and have to wonder... have I become a fitness freak? I mean.. I've yet to wear Lycra (which has to be a point in my favor) but I can have entire conversations on the way to get fit with others like me and I post about it all the time.. and I *AM* going every day.. and hell, I bought Nutrition for Dummies for fun and because I was interested.
Have I become a Fitness Freak?
I was, at first, really offended when Kar referred to fitness as a fad. It's not... at least with me. But I can't say as I'm totally sure if I have any sane reasons to push myself as hard as I can... I certainly wouldn't have been bothered with this even a year ago.
Not eating slurpies. Worrying about the extra calories in a donut.
What have I become?
And is it bad, good, or a bit of both?
Part of me feels worried. I worry I'm pushing away those of my friends who aren't into fitness like I am. After Kar's post and a comment trillain made about how she felt I was signaling her out as an obese American (which i wasn't, but...)
Probably unnecessarily worrying, but still...
Oh well. Time to post.
See y'all latahz.

When I said trend, I didn't mean as in trendy. I meant trend as in, becoming more apparent. Or popular. Not a fad, but a phenomenon. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Cake CDs: I bought Fashion Nugget second, I think it's the most similar to Comfort Eagle. Then later I bought the other two, which are indistinct in my mind as to which is which. They're all good, but I would suggest Fashion Nugget next. Also I've almost finished a Cake mix CD - decided on the songs (7 from Comfort Eagle, 5 each from the other 3) and need to finalize the order. When I'm done I'll mail you a copy if you like, otherwise I'll upload the mp3s to your ftp site sometime.

Dammit. Reposting. Hit Post Comment too soon accidentally.

Fashion Nugget is the album with "Daria" on it, right? (Daria is one of my favorite Cake songs) I was actually gonna buy that at the mall yesterday but it was like.. $20.. I think I can do better someplace else like Media Play.
I got oodles and oodles of good Cake MP3s.
I've got:
Comfort Eagle
Daria
Guitar
I Bombed Korea
Italian Leather Sofa
Let me go
Love you Madly
Meanwhile, Rick James...
Mexico
Never There
Pentagram (had to get it)
Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps (tango! woo!)
Pretty Pink Ribbon
Sad songs and waltzes
Shadow Stabbing
Sheep go to heaven
She'll come back to me
Short Skirt / Long Jacket
Stickshifts and Safetybelts
Walk on By
World of Two
You turn the screws

Is there any song you really like you suggest I try that I don't have on mp3 yet? :) (note I haven't mp3'd one other song on Comfort Eagle I like yet.. the Symphony in C song)

Re: oops

yep, Daria is on Fashion Nugget. but you've overlooked my favorite 2 Fashion Nugget songs, which are Frank Sinatra and I Will Survive. my favorite part of the Cake concert was when he got the audience to sing along with the wordless chorus on Frank Sinatra (which you don't really hear on the CD, except a little at the very end). I'm also surprised you haven't found Satan Is My Motor, from Prolonging the Magic. the main CD you missed, though, is Motorcade of Generosity, from which I submit the following list:

Comanche
Ruby Sees All
Jolene
You Part The Waters
Is This Love?
Rock'n'Roll Lifestyle
Mr. Mastodon Farm

Just bought Fashion Nugget. It was on sale at Media Play (well.. $3 off all CDs of $14.99 and above) so I grabbed it :) )
I'll go look for those mp3s soonish and tell if I like :)

more cake

[kareila]

just remembered, I heard on the radio tonight that Cake is supposed to be webcasting a concert next Tuesday (the 22nd) on their website.

Re: more cake

I can't tell. Is it an all day event? A specific time? I don't see the time if it is specific.

Re: more cake

[kareila]

I saw it on there somewhere... if I remember correctly, it starts at 11AM PST (2PM our time) and lasts for an hour.
