I've actually put biking on hold b/c of wrist problems but today I got a brace for it. I think it will help when I start up again (hopefully tomorrow). Aaaaannnnd I'm not kickboxing, only wii boxing. I DO get sweaty doing it but does that really count?

Kelsey, imagining you kicking ass wii boxing is hilarious! :)

Now I'm just concentrating my obsessive number crunching on beating my debt.
― KitCat, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 20:54 (seventeen years ago) link
Jesus H, yes it counts!

I totally agree that there is a line where exercise takes over someone's life, I guess I just feel like it isn't well steeped in mine. I go through phases. Last year when I was training for the triathlon, I was exercising 6 days a week & that actually felt quite good. I don't think that 6 days is realistic for my entire life, but I think that on days where I don't do anything specific, I should at least be walking or something.
haha! Dan! I think you would laugh so hard if you saw me doing it! I was unintentionally cracking leaf up last night b/c i get SO SERIOUS about kicking ass. I was, for many many matches doing a "Knock Out" in the first round. This meant that I didn't know there could be a round two so as my skill level increased & my competition got harder, I was working harder & swearing a lot & then walking around cheering after I defeat them. Sometimes I would grab my imaginary balls & yell "take that bitches!" I mean, I get really into this.

I have this fiercely competitive side that emerges sometimes. It came out during the triathlon last year and now, wii.

I told leaf we need to get another controllery thing so that we can box each other.
― sweet tater, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:00 (seventeen years ago) link
You can't even box each other?! That is the whole point.
― Jordan, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:01 (seventeen years ago) link
Once you a get a second controller, you will never have to pay for couples' therapy.
― Jordan, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:02 (seventeen years ago) link
we can play each other in every other game but you need the nunchuck (sp?) to box.
― sweet tater, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:04 (seventeen years ago) link
we only have one.
Sorry! I didn't mean to turn this thread into an episode of "My Wii Life" or anything.
― sweet tater, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:06 (seventeen years ago) link
Oh ok. I don't have one, I've just played it at a couple friend's houses.
― Jordan, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:09 (seventeen years ago) link
we decided it would be a good wedding gift. i had only played it once before & now i am hooked!
― sweet tater, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:09 (seventeen years ago) link
right hooked, that is.
― sweet tater, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:10 (seventeen years ago) link
get it? it's because i have a mean right hook.
Ali is homeless now. I finally got in touch with my mom and she's in Missouri sans Ali. :-(
― KitCat, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:10 (seventeen years ago) link
I think I missed some of that - did your mom misplace her cat in Chicago somehow?
― sweet tater, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:11 (seventeen years ago) link
No, my mom is moving from Memphis to Omaha. One of her kitties went missing last night, and she was supposed to leave yesterday, but promised my sister she'd stay another night in case Ali turned up. She never did. So now my mom is driving the other kitty and herself to her new home.
― KitCat, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:12 (seventeen years ago) link
that's awful! Poor kitty!
― kenan, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:13 (seventeen years ago) link
She gave the neighbors a bunch of cat food, which they agreed to keep putting out in case she turns up. But even if she turns up, I don't know how my mom would get her to omaha.
― KitCat, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:13 (seventeen years ago) link
:( :( :(
― Jordan, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:13 (seventeen years ago) link
that's so sad!
― sweet tater, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link
I know. I'm upset about it, but I'm sure Hev is even more so, since Ali was her kitty in high school and college summer breaks.
― KitCat, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:16 (seventeen years ago) link
hev? I hope that's short for something.
― kenan, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:17 (seventeen years ago) link
My lifelong cat ran away when my dad moved, summer after my first year in college.
― Jordan, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:17 (seventeen years ago) link
Surely you met my sisters at the wedding, K?
― KitCat, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:17 (seventeen years ago) link
I don't want to start talking about cats running away or getting hurt.
― KitCat, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:18 (seventeen years ago) link
My stories are too horrible (perhaps in general).
yeah, but i don't remember a hev
― kenan, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:19 (seventeen years ago) link
Hev is my sister Heather. I've always called her that.
― KitCat, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:20 (seventeen years ago) link
Hever
― Jordan, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:22 (seventeen years ago) link
The youngest is Leslie, a.k.a. Webs, Webby, Web, Werb, the Webkins, Twerby... She basically has pet names.
― KitCat, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:22 (seventeen years ago) link
Surely you've heard Sarah call her that like whenever she's mentioned her online or in real life?
― jaymc, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:22 (seventeen years ago) link
Hever is the freedom fry, right?
― Jordan, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:23 (seventeen years ago) link
where i work is trying to come up with a tagline & the one they might go with is just awful.
"answ3ring t0morr0w's leg@l questions t0day"
blech!
― sweet tater, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:26 (seventeen years ago) link
it sounds like a city college & not a prestigious law school. no offense to city colleges, but i think i've heard this phrase on tv.
― sweet tater, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:27 (seventeen years ago) link
Also law is built on precedent, so answering questions that way is kind of bad practice.
― dan m, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:27 (seventeen years ago) link
No, Webby is the Frenchie, right?
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:28 (seventeen years ago) link
YES! There is that as well!!
― sweet tater, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:28 (seventeen years ago) link
Oh yeah. I just happened to click on a pic with both of them.
― Jordan, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link
it is entirely possible that i was not paying the proper amount of attention. :(

people genuinely find ferris bueller sinister?
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:40 (seventeen years ago) link
I actually hate him. My sympathies are entirely with his stodgy friend in that movie.
― Laurel, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link
jaymc: apparently I'm doing a quizbowl thing next week with some people from work, and our team may be called the "McKinley High Norsemen" :>

Max Roach was black? I guess from his name I always assumed he was this old Jewish dude. Or maybe I just associated him with Gene Krupa.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:43 (seventeen years ago) link
xpost: Heh.
my sympathies are entirely with bitchy Jennifer Grey in that movie.
I miss your nose, bitchy Jennifer Grey!
― horseshoe, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:45 (seventeen years ago) link
otm, his sister was totally right about ferris and everything else
― kenan, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:46 (seventeen years ago) link
Uh, definitely black.

I guess it is a pretty old Jewish dude name, though.
