After a two month hiatus, me and some of the men went climbing today. It was awesome, if a little tiring. See, the reason for the hiatus was I got repeatedly sick with the Norovirus. This is a great, great way to lose weight, ladies. So go to the hospital I work at, and lick random surfaces (or people), and you too can lose 15 pounds. (Actually, I'm not totally sure it was the Norovirus, because of the duration of the illness, but I'm really not complaining because I feel better now. And I'm never, never eating at the cafeteria again).
The bugger of the thing is that although I have to haul less weight up when I'm climbing, I think most of the weight loss was muscle mass. It was kind of pathetic... I started getting tired belaying! This is probably because the most exercise my arms have received is lifting alcoholic beverages. "And repeat... Good... Two more reps.... one... more.... blearrgghhhh....... Yoou'ree a preTTy boOY, ArenN't Youu...'Scuuuse meEee... Blaaurrghhhh!"
So... Um... that's about all the interestingness in my life for now. Work's actually not so bad right now. I had an experiment work on Thursday, so I left by 3. Because I didn't want to jinx anything. Other scientists will understand. In fact, I have it on good authority that after Alexander Fleming discovered penecillin, he pretty much pissed around for the next couple of years, playing golf, reading porn, and living on his friend's ottoman (by good authority, I mean this really cool dream I had a couple of years ago). 'Course, then he had to go and rediscover it later, 'cause he forgot where he left it. Or something.
Oh yeah, the other exciting development in my life is that a frat house has now moved in next door. To be honest, I'm a little nostalgic for the crack house that was there before. If I hear one more tanked 17 year old howling at the god-damned moon and puking in the bushes while his friends laugh and record it on their camera phones for posterity, I will be forced to take drastic measures. I just don't know what those are yet. Suggestions would be highly valued. Nothing too illegal, please.
