back in the glass saddle again.

so i quit my job at charter (worst job ever). and i got my job back at glass doctor, making two dollars on the hour more than i was when i quit. i have a new piece that i had been working on. i sold it the same night that i finished it so i don't have a picture. i'm going to harass them to see if they will give me a picture for my files. i will be back with more.

weight loss

today's weight:
329 lbs

today's workout:
i try to do a constant workout no more than 20 seconds of rest, in-between items on the list.
8 min tabata interval run on an eliptical machine (tabata intervals consist of 20 seconds of maximum intensity exercise, followed by 10 seconds of active rest. i run 20-s, walk/jog 10-s).
go get a couple sips of water (SIPS)
- 2 sets of 15 curls with a 40lbs dumb-bell (each arm)
- 1 set of 15 bench press 140lbs
- 1 set of 20 shrugs 50lbs dumb-bell in each arm
- 1 set of 15 bench press 140lbs
- 1 set of 20 shrugs 50lbs dumb-bell in each arm
- 2 sets of 10 lat pull down 140lbs

this is my steady work out, that i do 3 times a week. i go up 5lbs each week on the curls, and 10 lbs each week on bench. after a couple of weeks i reset back to 130-bench/30-curl and start over.
i often times on average every other week get together with my buddy and do a kind of crossfit training... click here to see the type of stuff i do with him.

gary gygax dead

gary gygax obituary now i know most people that i am friends with don't care. but this man was the creator of dungeons and dragons. for better or worse he had a huge influence on culture in the 80's not to mention the lasting effect he had on geek culture in general. i played DnD growing up and in all honesty i would probably still play given enough time in the day. my mom used to play and i have her copy of the players handbook. i have played AD&D i have played 3rd edition and i have played so many video games and board games influnced by the ideas presented with dungeons and dragons. my band even had a song titled THAC0. although i didn't know him i feel a kinship to him since i was a geek with an over-active imagination while growing up. he has given a legacy to nerds wishing to live out thier fantasy with paper and dice. for those about to roll, we salute you.

i want to see this.

come to the party

come to the show.

i will have arts hanging up here.
