A Breath of Fresh Air

Some days my life feels like an endless cycle of coursework, laundry, and washing infinite stacks of dishes. To break out of the rut I’ve stopped cooking entirely — it’s amazing how few dirty dishes I’ve generated in the last three weeks! And how sub-par my diet has been! Not a strategy I’d recommend, actually. My best friend had a better idea on the weekend… we headed to Scarborough Bluffs for a nice afternoon, which we followed up with a small vat (that somebody else had to wash!) of delicious pho.

Wishful Thinking…

I’d really like to hit a squat PR today. Making sacrifices as a means of currying favour from the gods seems to have fallen out of fashion. Maybe if I try this unconventional approach the god of powerlifting will smile upon me in a sort of bemused but benevolent way! I’m counting on bonus points for creativity. A human or animal sacrifice sounds too messy and extreme… but I bet the god of powerlifting would appreciate an offering of food!

I spent the weekend helping a friend to move so I missed watching the Arnold Classic. I was keeping my princely fingers crossed for Zoa Linsey, who made her pro debut and placed 7th in the Ms. International. Here’s a picture of her from the prejudging. I love her physique! And she’s Canadian! Talk about a total package!

Daydreaming

My best friend gave me this cute Wee Ninja from Shawnimals for my birthday. So wee! So stealthy in BRIGHT PINK! So summery! When I grow up I’m going to live somewhere that’s warm all year round. Maybe Texas! I’d like to have a big ranch and a big truck (read: Hummer) and a big dog or three or four.
