I will not laugh…

Getting it done…

Workout notes
It was pouring rain outside so I decided to skip yoga (downtown) and instead run in the university gym and follow it with some leg weights and yoga on my own.

Running on the 8 laps to the mile track:
10:24, 9:40 (alternate faster and slower laps)
Then 5K in 28:10 (two laps on, one off with the 25′th one “on”): 8:42, 9:07, 9:17, 1:03
This was 47:12 for 5 miles, and 48:15 for 5.125
Then 1 lap walk/jog, then 1 mile on the treadmill in 10:03 to cool down. 1:01:30 was the total.

Weights: 2 sets of 20 with the leg press, 1 set of 10 squats (45 lb), 1 set of 10 squats (135 lb), 2 sets of step ups, 2 sets of toe raises, 2 sets of hip hikes.

Then 30 minutes of yoga; included leg lifts, head stand, arm pressure, crow, and a lot of “down dog”.

I felt ok afterward.

Wingnuts: Make Up Your Mind!!!

Joe Frazier: RIP

Joe Frazier died of liver cancer at the age of 67. He left us too soon. But he left knowing one thing that very few of us will ever know: what it is like to be the best in the world at something.

FAILS all around….Grab the Popcorn!

Yes, I have a facebook account. Yes I accepted a friend request without checking it out. Result: I was tagged in the following photo:

FAIL. Yes, there was a link with a phrase “I am bored”…though I wonder if there is some bad photo shop here.

Student FAIL

see more funny videos, and check out our Yo Dawg lols!

Hey, at least in mathematics, if a student tells me that I can just mark it wrong and leave it at that.

Public FAIL
The Obama White House made a promise to respond to petitions that met a certain standard. You know that there are a lot of stupid people in this country. So one of the petitions dealt with extraterrestrial life and a government cover up:

Well, for now, at least:

The White House says there is no evidence of life beyond Earth — and no cover-up by the government — but scientists are still searching…Phil Larson, who works on space policy and communications at the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy [OSTP], also [notes] that “there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public’s eye.”

No, this wasn’t from a scene in Invasion of the Pod People; last week, Larson, a research assistant in the OSTP, responded to two open petitions to the president, one demanding that federal authorities “formally acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race” and one calling for “open Congressional hearings to allow the people to become aware of [government interactions with extraterrestrial beings] through those whose voices have been silenced by unconstitutional secrecy oaths.”

This pair of “We the People” petitions were signed by thousands of concerned citizens—12,078 unique signatures for the former, 5,387 for the latter [...]

Under the White House’s “We the People” guidelines, any petition that meets the signature threshold (then 5,000) within 30 days of submission “will be reviewed by the Administration and an official response will be issued.” (The review process, though, can easily result in the non-response of a rejection, as seen with multiple petitions regarding drug laws.[...]

Why would anyone want to be president of this dumb country?

Stupid Republican Tricks

I am enjoying this!

Yes, Mr. Cain’s latest accuser went public.

Yep…a tea party type…appears to be just a bit tart-ish. This is wonderful; some Republicans are hitting back savagely. But they can’t blame the liberals for this…though the lawyer that this woman obtained is known for trying to steal the show. What a circus!
