it hurt so bad

As predicted, going from zero to 7 miles a day hurts. It still hurts two days later. Of course it doesn't hurt as bad as it did yesterday but still! I must be out of shape. I'm happy to report that I've lost 15lbs (in 2 months, I'm not anorexic), what scares me is that I don't know where I put it and I'm afraid it'll come back at the worse possible time. I'm going to go try to run this weekend but I'm not promising anything. Weather is supposed to be decent so I might get some car maintenance out of the way. There's been some user abuse since the car's last checkup. The tires also need to get rotated and regripped. Plus with the impending deployment I have to find a storage place nearby. I should probably get an Indiana driver's license too, get the car registered in Indiana too. There's so much to do...
I wonder how much more (weight) I can lose on this poor man's diet. Hmm, I guess I'm proof of my own diet strategy. Decrease intake and increase output and the pounds just fall off. So now that I've found a happy input level and increase my output I can start to lose some serious weight.

You've got to love the 50's and their wacky PSAs. Apparently older boys are just a menace to everyone.

up on the roof

OK, because this turned out the way it did, it's funny. Plus I was watching Adult Swim last night (Futurama and Family Guy) and saw the apology, not exactly sure what to make of it. How exactly did Bostonians get this paranoid? Bomb scares? Really? Oh, there's electronics equipment with wires! It's a bomb!!!!!!!! Run away!!!!! Yeah it was flipping the bird but so? Not really telltale signs of a bomb. Unless the bomber's got a great sense of humor.

Here's some local Indiana news. You may not of heard of Eli Lily Co. but you've probably heard of some of their products. Altima, Cialis, or Cymbalta? Well, anyway, making it sound like a bad thing, Lily's profits for the fourth quarter dropped 81 percent. *gasp* To a measly $132.3 million. This was after paying a $500 million in a class-action lawsuit. Don't worry though, overall profits for 2006 was up from 2005, to $2.7 billion. Wait. Wait. Nope, sorry, not really feeling sad about it. Like Eli Lily making only 2.7 BILLION DOLLARS is going to make feel bad. Good for them, paying out half a billion dollars. They can afford it. Me, if I saw a 81 percent drop, well, I'd get paid about $81.

Just like when the price of oil was dropping because of the unusually warm winter. *gasp* And CNN Money was reporting like that it was a bad thing??? Wait, what? Gas prices go down, people have more to spend, do more things with said money saved, and stimulates the economy. So what's the bad thing? Oh, the oil industry doesn't make as much as they did yesterday. Instead of making $2 billion like they did yesterday they only made $1.8 billion. CRY ME A RIVER. I guess you can't fuel up your private jet today. Life sucks doesn't it? Go kill yourself rich guy. No, seriously. Kill yourself.

Survival Under Atomic Attack

Ah. Survival. Did you know that a newspaper can protect you in the event of an atomic attack? Yeah. I bet you also didn't know that simply closing the blinds in your house can protect you from radiation. Had the Japanese known about these little tidbits of information, thousands of lives could've been saved. Oh well, you know it now. So protect yourself!

Duck and Cover

Bert the Turtle says "Duck and Cover!" Just remember if it works for a turtle, it can work for you. Apparently atomic bombs are just like earthquakes in the sense of what can protect you from both.
