* It was very cool getting to rock a duet again with flynngrrl. I was
sad that I could not stay any later. I was pretty tired and today
should be a long day at work. I must say that I may need to find a
new karaoke spot. The Asgard seems to be too popular a place. It
willbe tough to break away since i know so many people who frequent
it.

* I am rather pleased with myself. I got a "LOL" response from an
e-mail I sent to a partner and it wasn't about the quality of my work.

* I am a Hula Hoop champion. I am finding Wii Fit to be a hit or Miss
prospect. I really like the technology of the system. I find the
yoga unsatisfying because you do it pose by pose and there is no
progression. Maybe I will unlock a progression after I do every pose.
I don't know. I am not really enjoying any of the balance games,
which I thought would be the major draw of the game for me. I guess I
am not a very well balanced person.

Surprisingly I enjoy the strength training and the aerobic exercise
portions the most. I took a step class with Chuck Norris, Barrack and
Pete Sampras. That is pretty fun. I also enjoy the Hula Hoop games,
especially when Dick Cheney is passing me the extra Hula Hoops. I get
really into the Hula Hooping and am pretty tired at the end of every
session. I hope I unlock some super long version.

Also, I need to remember to close the blinds when I play Wii Fit. I
must look pretty dumb.

1) To See Iron Man
2) To get to the comic book store and snag a copy of Secret Invasion #2
3) To hangout with some graduating law school peeps
4) To begin the kickball season
5) To see the Walsh Brothers this Saturday
6) Celctics Basketball


The common thread?

Besides being nerdy, work is threatening my ability to enjoy all those
things (especially 1, 2 and 6)

enjoyed hanging out with drunk-on-tiredness Flynngrrl

The best part was her taking a poor accent personally and then
claiming her 4' 10" aunt could beat up Bobby who is 6' 3" and at least
275 lbs. Also her claim that Michael Jordan woudl lose a fight with a
plane was pretty fun.

I am probably very late to this party ( I am not hip to internet trends) but i recently found out about this site that well, i will let it talk for itself

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness in a quiet American suburb.

I find this one particularly disturbing.

Working on a saturday, woohoo!

feeling pensive today. something aenondynefairie does every year in
her year in review is mention the most significant person or favorite
person they met that year

I have my runaway 2008 favorite so far. If you were at Jesus Christ
Mega Star last night, you know who I am talking about. The guy with
the broken leg laughing hysterically. He is the odds on favorite so
far this year.

So was rethinking this and so here is a list of the tops of each year

2002 - This is going to be a tough one. I moved back to Boston and
met a lot of good people. Basically everyone at IB who wasn't around
when I left in 2000. Given who famously we got along after a long car
ride and our kickball career, I am going to have to give this one to
Blake. Sorry Flynn, Spooky, Bobby and Dana.

2003 - One word. H-bone. aenondynefairie would be in the running for
this but we actually met in 2002 but only become friends through
karaoke in 2003. Also on the list were Adam and Morgan of the karaoke
posse. Those were good times. Also on the list are Goltermna, Smarz,
Cuddy and Totty who I met after I got sick.

But Harrington has been a major player in the Marcelo-verse. for 5
years running.

2004 - First year of law school. I met Serpico the year before and
didn't like him. I think I actually befriended him this year. I
could give this to JR who I met when he auditioned.

But I am going to go with two law school peeps: Good Kevin and Ben.
We studied together, played kickball and basketball together, and now
I see Ben everyday and talk to Kevin every day. all valuable
additions to the cast

2005 - Rachel. Although we could have ended better, this was a good
ride and it began in 05

2006 - This woudl go to Sarah J but we met towards the tail end of 05.
So I have to give this to the otehr compelling figure to enter my
life in 06. Matt Mahoney. My kickball compatriot.

2007 - Amy. easy.

2008 - ????? could be you. let's hang out sometime.

So I have a mildly amusing anecdote to tell you and a realization I just had.

A few weeks ago I was sitting in my room at a ski lodge and watching
infomercials. I had decided to go on the firm ski trip despite the
fact that I refuse to ski. I had thought that there would be other
stuff to do, but they all involved snow. So, I was watching Saturday
afternoon television in an average ski lodge in Vermont. During this
time I believe i saw snippets of the same infomercial over a three
hour span. The 3 day melt. Maybe you have seen it.

So I was sitting in a dark room, being a complete waste of space, and
being inundated with visuals of fit people and gyro balls. Patting my
big tummy, I gave in and ordered the package.

Fast forward to this morning, a bemused mail room lady brought a small
white box to my office. The contents are from china and in large
print it says "Product: G-ball by 'Mitch Gaylord'".

So not only do i have exercise equipment and DVDs that I will never
use and a diet supplement I will never take (seriously what do former
Olympians know about vitamin supplements), but everyone in the mail
room at work must think I am some sort of freak ordering G balls from
a Gaylord.

I have come to a realization. I'm tubby. It's cool. I don't
begrudge my friends who have undergone fitness transformations in the
past year. I admire them. But I should not go so far as to envy
them. I would like to lose some weight in the same vein as I would
like to win the lottery or date a super model. It would be nice, but
I don't even buy lottery tickets so how can I win the lottery.

I have picked a lifestyle that is currently antithetical to fitness.
I work long unpredictable hours. I try to go to the gym in the
morning, but only have half hearted workouts because I am too tired
from working until 9 or 10 or 11 or midnight the night before. I
don't like not being fit, but I chose this life. And, despite all
this, I do like my job.

So maybe one day I will be able to integrate fitness and the corporate
practice, I currently cannot. And that's okay.

The ladies still love this guy.
