Tomorrow, I’m going to try reps until failure.
Random Emacs symbol: w3m-process-start – Function: Run COMMAND with ARGUMENTS, and eval HANDLER asynchronously.
]]>so, what do i need?
gah. all of the above.
maybe i’ll go to trapeze once a week and spend two to three times a
week working on core and strength. the jungle gym near the house will
help me develop calluses, at least until it freezes over. i need to do
more crunches and pushups, too, until i can eventually graduate to
chin-ups.
we have a plan.
Random Emacs symbol: custom-initialize-safe-set – Function: Like `custom-initialize-set’, but catches errors.

giving it a shot.
next week, work on calluses.

]]>I’m starting to like exercising a little bit. I’m still not too fond
of running (feet and lungs not happy), but walking appears to be an
accepted form of exercise. I may need to find something else once
winter sets in with a vengeance, though.
Random Emacs symbol: tty-color-off-gray-diag – Function: Compute the angle between the color given by R,G,B and the gray diagonal.
]]>Yes, go ahead and laugh. It seems like such a simple goal. Kids can do
it. Heck, J- very handily does so without thinking too much about it.
But last Thursday, it was a big deal to me. I made it across the monkey
bars for the very first time.
I don’t remember really playing on the monkey bars before. Sure, I’d
clamber up them, but I never swung from bar to bar like, well, a
monkey. And at 24 years old, faced with the jungle gym at Lithuania
Park, I simply couldn’t make it across no matter how much I wanted.
I was afraid that if I let go with one hand, the elbow of my other arm
would lock. I was worried that my weak grip meant that my fingers
would slip off the bar. I couldn’t think of how to reach the next bar,
especially if it was above the current one. Heck, I couldn’t even hang
there for a few moments without my hands hurting. I couldn’t make it across.
I couldn’t even reach for the next bar.
Then I decided to stop making excuses. I watched J- do it and tried my
best to do the same. Here’s what I learned: Don’t pull, just hang.
Don’t stop. Just keep going, and use your momentum to swing you over.
I did it! =) My hands hurt like anything and my palms were still sore
that evening, but I finished it!
Next: figure out how to climb up the pole…

]]>The other thing I ended up doing was help take pictures of a wedding
party. I guess the bride and her entourage made this their
bachelorette party! =) One of them remarked that trapeze was the
perfect training for a wedding: dealing with butterflies in one’s
stomach and all that…
Michael McGuffin and Mike Tsang should be here soon. Looking forward
to seeing them!
