Went to the GYM yesterday. Rob and I saw "Super Size Me," and on the drive home we make the executive decision that we need to start working out again. So, for the first time since when I hung out with Decker... I woke up and my triceps hurt. GRAAAAARRRR, MOTHERFUCKA!And nothing beats university fitness facilities. Not only are they deserted of jock assholes over the summer, but said jock assholes have been replaced by middle-aged Webster faculty looking to furthur cheat death one lat stretch at a time. Plus, they have witty commentary!
SHORT PANTS-WEARING SOCIAL SCIENCES PROFESSOR, OVERHEARD:
(Nelly Furtado's "I'm Like A Bird" plays over the sound system.)
"This really is a silly song. A bird doesn't 'long to fly away.' It can fly away whenever it wants. It's a bird. And it ALWAYS knows where its home is."
You just don't get that during fall semester.
I'm feeling better. Thinking more and more that I'm gonna work at Ellie Forcella instead of Frenchy McStripmall. Closer to home and much more easygoing staff. And by easygoing I mean easier to understand. I'm also heading home today for some friend-seeing and some beer-drinking and some RIBS like nobody's business.
And I JUST saw a commercial for the STL News 4 weather team set to White Zombie's "More Human Than Human." Well, now I'm finally validated: Nothing says satanic blood-soaked thrash metal like chief meteorologist Kent Earheardt.
