I should be working out BUT

So I SHOULD be downstairs working out. I've gotten pretty good at that, actually: remembering to work out in the mornings, I mean. Not every day, of course: that's just crazytalk. But, y'know, a good three out of seven. I figure it's a start! :D It's been a month and counting. I mostly just walk on the treadmill. Nothing too arduous; I figure I have the rest of my life to Get Tough. I'm mostly just trying to get myself in the habit at this point. Which is no mean trick, believe you me.

(Er, to forestall the bajillion questions on "OMG you're working out, but WHY?!?! You're so SKINNY!": I may be skinny, but - and I know this is a hard concept for many people to grasp - skinny doesn't necessarily mean fit. I am a couch potato by nature, and really don't like sports. But I'm aware my cardiovascular fitness could be a lot better (it is PATHETIC that I get winded walking up the stairs at work. Even if they are crazy steep stairs from hell), and I'd like to maintain and improve my strength, flexibility and bone density as I get older, rather than letting them slowly slide downhill. And I promised myself as a teenager I'd start working out when I'm 30. Seeing as I'm 34 now... ;P)

But, I miss you guys and this whole LJ thing. So dammit, I decided to post instead! :D Good idea Y/Y?

So, bullety update:

• adorable nephew is adorable
• eboniorchid is in town!!!!1!1!!! There has been awesome food (room service FTW! oh god I just looove the utter decadence of room service), lovely cuddles, and long chats. It's all terribly boringly fabulous.
• snow = YAY
• snow + melting + refreezing = ice = BOO
• I have been thinking about Future Job Options a lot (*coughasIdowhenI'mslightlymaniccough*) and I am thinking of starting something I've always wanted to do: starting a little blog about random cool shit in the world. And then if I'm really lucky down the road I can make money through advertising so waaaay down the road I can quit my day job and travel around the world, updating as I go! :D Not that I'm over-ambitious or anything, eh? But y'know, it's not like it requires some massive influx of cash for me to get started. Just time...oh, wait. That thing I don't have. *facepalm*
• clementine season = YAY
• I managed to make tea yesterday without maiming myself or anyone else = YAY
• Old printer dying = BOO but! new printer being wireless (oooh) = YAY

In other news, has anyone else (y'know, local) been to the new Art Gallery of Ontario? Cuz it is STUNNING. Seriously. I mean, I liked the new Royal Ontario Museum, but this baby? It's all wood and curves and beautiful and makes me so proud for our city to finally have a really nice piece of modern architecture that isn't really phallic, angular or just plain weird. (Okay, aside from the BCE Place, which is gorgeous and I also love, and not just because I can get Movenpick ice cream there. And it's SO DISTINCTIVE I am always pleased that I can identify it in movies. Such as the various __ of the Dead movies, for instance, much to my amusement. Zombies! In downtown Toronto, woohoo! Again! Some more!

On a related note, I should do a post sometime about my love/derision for Resident Evil: Apocalypse with Toronto (very) thinly disguised as Racoon City. I mean, Toronto! Creepy skinless dobermans in MY OLD HIGH SCHOOL! Blowing up our freakin' CITY HALL!!! I mean, really, how awesome is that? Too bad the movie itself is quite so viscerally, painfully bad...

Good lord, this started off as a bracket two paragraphs ago, didn't it? O_o)

Ack. It's now 8:08. Gotta get this up, or I'll be going yet another day without an update...
