I Rock! ... Ok, not really.

It's been a very busy couple of days. So while I got a little time I'll try to summarize what's up in my life.

Lesse.. Wednesday was my accident. For those who hadn't heard yet, I'd skinned myself on the treadmill. One minute I was upright, the next i was hanging on for dear life, my kneecaps getting all skinned. It hurts like a bitch. Still. It hurts so much at times it makes me naseuous :P It would be better if I could wear shorts but of course it's gonna snow this weekend, so I'm in jeans and the jeans rub against the sore and hurt.
Actually, the best time, as odd as it sounds, as when I exercise. Mostly, I think, because I AM in shorts. Perhaps the endorphins help block out part of the pain too.

Nearing the completion of the task I was in charge of. The water quality query of Ellicott Creek. Did I mention this to y'all? No? OK.. part of why I'm so busy is that damned Practicum class. This task I'm in charge. We're doing a water quality assessment of Ellicott Creek, a nearby Creek. We measured and analyzed for Dissolved Oxygen, pH, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Orthophosphates, Ammonia, Conductivity, Temperature, Fecal Coliform Count and Turbidity. So now we just have to write the report and do the presentation. Yay for nearing completion.

I've been spending alot of time lately at One Phat Man, specifically the chat. I love One Phat Man because Fred, the owner of the site, has done what I hope to do. He's lost about 160 pounds so far. it's very motivational to read his side. Anyways, I've given this journal adress out to a couple people there, so if you're reading hello all you Phat'ers ;)

Lesse.. yesterday my MP3 Player, my Phillips Expanium played it's last song :( I dropped it once too much. I had to run out and get something else to work out with. I found a sweet deal. I got the iRock (and yes, it even looks vaguely mac'ish, but it works with a PC so it's all good.) with 64 Megs onboard memory, room for a SmartMedia chip and USB. And I got it for $100. It doesn't read ID3 tags, but I'm used to that with the Expanium. It's tiny, though and plays beautifully. So.. an hours worth of music for $100? Sounds like a good deal to ME!

In about a week my cousin Freddie comes into town. I love spending time with Freddie. he's a great guy, a good man and is really really cool. So I'm looking forward to seeing him for lunch next weekend.

Anything else?

Can't think of anything..

OK, time to go to press :)

Just think...

I'm willing to try walking uphill only.
I dunno if the gravity-beast will let me do it tho.
Mean old gravity-beast
