in my attempt to exercise more i think i exercised a little too much today, because tonight at fencing i was too tired to fence too much. but it’s a miraculous improvement, that i even WANT to fence. have i mentioned the fencing club that kevin founded? surely i have. i took the beginning lesson, then the intermediate, and it’s actually a fun sport and i don’t totally suck at it. i’m not great by any stretch of the imagination, but i’ve improved and it’s a great workout and the people are nice and it’s fun. go figure. if you’re interested in taking fencing lessons by the way, a new beginner class starts january 27th, and you can e-mail me and i’ll pass it on to kevin.
tonight the movie “supersize me” was on tv but i only saw a little bit of the end of it but now i feel i need to rent it and watch it. i cam in on the part where the guy’s doctor is telling him that he can’t believe the guy’s poor health – i know that the premise of the film is that a guy only ate fast food, maybe only mcdonald’s, for some period of time, and it was really really bad for him and i hear of people watching the movie and swearing off mcdonald’s forever.
the doctor was telling the guy that he couldn’t believe how much…something…had gone up, something bad, something to do with the liver, and how it could quickly lead to gout and all kinds of bad things. all from eating this really high fat diet.
must watch it. soon.
but first, i MUST HAVE A QUARTER POUNDER WITH CHEESE. just one more.
not that Krekel’s today was exactly lowfat or good for me in any way.
but after the wedding, i said I WANT A QUARTER POUNDER WITH CHEESE, and even though i’m 100% sure that i could not zip up the wedding dress right now, somehow the quarter pounder with cheese has eluded me.
just one, that’s all i want, and then IMMEDIATELY it will be ONLY LOWFAT HEALTHY FOOD AND NO MORE QUARTER POUNDERS WITH CHEESE.
also, today i went to the library and got “the davinci code,” except this was an illustrated version of it, which sounded cool, a very popular book that everybody goes crazy for PLUS photos.
i’m slightly afraid to start reading it because then i’ll be sucked in and you really won’t hear from me. but then again, i can’t imagine that it could take that long to read.
but then if it’s really THAT GOOD, i’ll be bummed out when it’s over.
yes, i am able to think about potential being bummed out in the future, instead of just finding something in the moment to obsess about.
but anyway i think i’m going to start reading it tomorrow.
could it possibly be as good as harry potter? somehow i doubt it.
this weekend we’re going to a fencing tournament in chicago. kevin and this guy from the fencing club are going to be in the tournament, and the guy’s wife and i are going to watch. we’re going up on saturday and the event is sunday and i’m hoping it won’t last one million hours. that would be boring, plus it’s supposed to snow on sunday and i don’t want to get stuck in chicago plus i’m sure it will be much much too cold and windy to go do any shopping or anything plus shopping has little allure for me, especially shopping with somebody i don’t even know.
tonight the guy started talking about his wife, which he never really does, and i met her last weekend and she seemed quite nice, but the guy started talking about how she used to BEAT UP people quite a bit.
maybe he was kidding.
i don’t think he was.
she seems perfectly nice.
friendly. kind of quiet.
i wonder what she’d think if she knew he was going around talking about her history of beating people up.
i’m afraid to say something that might make her mad.
what’s in store for me this weekend?
i can take the book with me and read all the time.
by the way, i know someone whose sister just died suddenly, and she was quite young, and it was totally unexpected and of course that should make all of us keep in mind that you never, ever know how much time you have here on earth, so we should all have a doughnut.
no, that’s not what i meant. i mean, yes, i do think a doughnut, especially a frosted chocolate doughnut from mel-o-cream is a great idea. but we should try to enjoy this life, do things we like to do, have a good time, be kind to others.
all like that.
not a lecture, i promised no lectures, just a thought. make the most of the hand you’ve been dealt.
i’m going to bed early tonight. because sleep is a very nice thing.
ok then,
nighttime grace.
