Thread Drift

[Lise]

so i watched the video.... i have this to say: i was hoping for real monkeys! i was hoping that they taught them to ride bikes. oh well.... interesting video though. i'm off to read the thread about it.

"Interesting"?!? OK, TD gang, it's clear that CWR has higher than average tolerance for out-and-out wierdness! Perhaps it helps, living up there on the tundra. Glad it didn't give you nightmares....like some people we know...

i thought it was going to be something really horrific. it wasnt that bad. i would've been a bit more creative in the whole filming thing, story plot wasn't the best, but as a kid perspective, i'm sure it was good. though i'm sure it would give a child some nightmares. (i think i need to get out of the bush and to civilization for a while.)

i have one question after watching: do you really need to have a license for your road bike?

I think real monkeys would have been less disturbing.

I'm glad someone clarified that above tennis player was a man- I was having a hard time deciding.

Shrimp fra diavolo on penne for dinner tonight!

the arms were what led me to believe it was a guy.

[salsabike]

Exactly. Gorgeous, sculpt-able arms.

I agree. I had to look twice, because the face? kind of feminine.

I went to the gym today!! I am previewing a schmancy private club that has pools and such should I choose to act on the triathlon inspiration I have going on. Today I took a class that was based on ballet and modern dance technique. I haven't taken a ballet class in a year, and I'm already sore. Cycling uses such different muscles!

are you serious? He's a lovely man!!

speaking of lovely men, my nephew showed up at the house tonight. He's 27 (same age as my french horn playing son)
He's been in hawaii for almost a year, is building an organic farm from scratch with a small team. He's so excited and the healthiest i've ever seen him.
He made his own little shelter between 3 nut trees, sleeps in a loft
with a mosquito net. Very earthy; but neat too.
this was his first return to the continent since he went to Hawaii
and he brought cool photos and stuff.

I think it's just the mane of hair. His ponytail is far fuller and shinier than mine.

I do like his arms.

I didn't even see the pony tail. I thought it was a girl, too. Maybe because there is so much airbrushing in that picture. (how sad, that I see a doctored photo and instantly think "woman". Like every woman's photo has to be doctored...)

The media did it! The media has WARPED me!

I went to the website that has him talking about tennis (in Spanish). Clearly a man, but a "lovely" man (my favorite kind). He is from Spain, and has that Castillian accent I find so hard to understand. He also seems to have a bit of a lisp (aside from the accent!), sort of talks out one side of his mouth. Great action shots.
........................
The problem (a problem) with my job is that I eat almost constantly. Did a clinic today. B'fast. snack (V8, string cheese). lunch. snack (grapes). dinner (not much--bruschetta with rice cakes, fresh mozz). snack (yogurt, walnuts). Now it's 11:30 PM, I just ate the 400 calories of peanut noodle salad from Trader Joe's. I've got 10.5 hr to go--if I get some sleep, I stop eating. If I don't, I'll probably eat again at 3 AM, and 6 or 7 AM, and 11 AM...sleep a few hours...get up and eat...

I know that fatigue + stress ---> hunger. I'd probably lose 10# fairly easily if I worked a straight day job. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking with it!
