I should be compensated extra for the body cavity search. It's weird. Usually they use a glove and some lube. This time however... oh, well. All in a days work.

I'm kinda a movie buff. My IMDb shows 140 movies that I've rated. I've probably seen a lot more than I've rated on there. I've only been using IMDb for a few years.

Netflix is like a godsend for me.

Valleygirl has a Boston Terrier and he was doing that at the Tahoe house when we were all there. At first I thought it might be one of the women.

jeez, I'd forgotten how much Jarhead rips off from Full Metal Jacket. Totally blatant. It's possible he was trying to pay homage, but it seems more like stealing when you do it so much.

I haven't had moonshine since I lived in SC. And that was in Charleston. Plenty of local families had "Summer Places" out in the boonies. Not on the water, not in the mountains, just out in the stix. It seems live every time I was invited to a pig pickin or oyster roast at one of these Summer Places there was always a little white lightning going around the crowd. Never asked where it came from though.

I had moonshine once. I was 18, and was hanging out with my uncle and a few of his friends who made the shine. I fancied myself a pretty good drinker. They poured me a small glass and told me to 'take it easy'...."pfft" I said..."these oldheads think theyre tough". I drank the glass (tasted like fruit puch mixed with liquor), and about 10 min later tried to get out of my chair and couldnt. For a few hrs. They just sat and laughed.

Postnasal drip, itchy eyes, drowsiness. Can't tell if I'm coming down with a cold or it's just allergies. Either way, I think I'm bagging on today's interval set. Giants v. Cubs comes on in a few minutes anyway.

I'm in the process of overhauling my TT position to make it legal. Stupid UCI.

Step 1- New 3:1 legal bars (picked up a USE Tula setup for insanely cheap)
Step 2- Drop hands to level (or just above level)
Step 3- Shorten the extensions by 2-3 cm to get below 75cm reach
Step 4- The saddle is already 5cm behind the BB, but I'm going to experiment with pulling it 1-2 cm further back. I think I might have been a bit to steep previously.
Step 5- Start testing bar widths and height w/ aerolab

I have to get to bed so I can get up early and train. I just finished watching "Men Who Stare at Goats".

By the time I'm at work checking BF tomorrow, I want someone to have explained the point of that movie to me.
