Bag of Randomness

  • OUCH!  That’s the only way to describe the opening scene on last night’s episode of ‘The Bridge’.   And there was a way of torture stated using the eyes that I never considered.
  • I live in an area that doesn’t qualify for Amazon same day delivery, but I doubt I’d use it anyways.
  • I appreciate all the comments yesterday about birthdays.  It is weird how we can remember our age quite easily up to around 32 and then we actually have to stop and think about it.
  • Diet and exercise – I don’t know why I can’t commit to both at one time, it’s usually one or the other, and then I gripe that I’m not losing inches around my waist.
  • Seven weeks ago I started to work out (yet again) doing the six week KettleWorX program three times a week and cardio on the elliptical two days a week with a few bike rides with the kids in between.  I really like that program because it gives a great total body workout with lots of cardio, but I’m wanting to change things up.
  • I’m now starting my mornings with a 40-minute power walk and finishing with lifting weights.  Gosh, that sounds wimpy, but I’ve always had bad feet and I hate cardio.  Part of the motivation is using my Gear Fit and try to get in 10,000 steps a day, which can be a bit of a challenge when you work from home.  I’m really surprised how sore I was considering I was using the elliptical and working out my legs, but I’m learning there’s nothing like carrying your own body weight unassisted.  My feet have also been sore and developed some blisters, so hopefully my new shoes and moisture wicking socks will fix that problem.
  • My 40-minute walk around my hilly neighborhood tallies up around 4,400 steps.
  • I’ve never seen The Texas Chainsaw Massacre but did crack up about how much it was referenced in Summer School.  And it wasn’t until now that I realized Courtney Thorne-Smith was in that movie.  My gosh, that woman aged extremely well.
  • Data is plural for datum.
  • From this tweet, I think the Ranger’s conference room or auditorium uses actual stadium seats, which I think is cool.
  • The Tu-Tang Clan was on ‘The Daily Show’ last night.  Whenever I hear of them my first thought is their part on the Racial Draft skit on ‘Chappelle’s Show’.  Gosh, I miss that show, and it’s hard to believe that skit is 10 years old.
  • Why The Heck Is Amtrak Still In Business After Losing Money 43 Years Straight? –  The answer, a healthy annual government subsidy of around $1b a year.
  • Harry Potter author reaches out to survivor of Spring family shooting
  • An infograph about reading on the toilet
  • Man Buys 23 Burger King Apple Pies to Spite a Small Child
  • The Moto 360 Android Wear Watch Is Ready For Its Closeup
  • The University of Michigan is building a fake city for driverless cars
