Here’s my inbox for January 17th. Three people are left who email me via my good ol’ fashioned email addy: my mom, my bro, and Jennifer S. – I don’t mind, I’m just amused.

You can also climb a ladder while lying down, and climb a rope while sitting in an ergonomic seat. (No bloody cupholder, tho)

succumbing to The Rush

Ξ January 14th, 2009 | → 0 Comments | ∇ gratitude, of local note, screeds |

Actually, I think the Official Name is “The Rush!”
I noticed the upcoming temps were going to be running-around-a-lake unfriendly, so, a few days ago, I decided to take advantage of the free 10 day trial memberships I heard The Rush! was givin’ out. Ok. Between the TWO HUMMERS they have for their advertising-covered garishly emblazoned advertising vehicles and the Fisher-Price color scheme inside, I was embarrassed and offended to be in there.

But I did it anyway, as exercise is important to me – clears my mind and all that. See, I swing both ways in the comfort and resource-intensive ways of doing things. I was delighted that the treadmills have fans built in, for example, and that some of the stationary bikes have ipod docks/headphone jacks and a pretty big screen, so I can watch “Damages” or old Frontlines if I want to, while making sure I maintain the proper watts output. (rpm is so 2002.)

 

Quote o’ the day: email from TMFC

“…..Speaking of universe, have you heard about the Star Registry? They will sell you a star and you can name it after yourself or maybe a loved one. They have ads on the radio a lot around the holidays. You pay them, they name it for you and send it into the copyright office. First of all, I am wondering why the copyright office is accepting crap like that. What? It’s a letter to the copyright office and says something like
Dear Sirs,
Enclosed you will find my copyright fee and this is for star number 934968239485whedfb.fotr8 please name it Christy.
Thank you and have a great day.
The Star Registry

So, now what about the rest of the universe ? Do they send an email or text message to all the extraterrestrials within our galaxy to let them know the new name of the star. I honestly do not know that many people here that would be impressed with a star being named after me. I can already hear the commentary from those I would want to impress with having a star named after me. What? That Tina has always been weird, I wish she’d quit calling me. Now she thinks she’s important because she paid $54.95 to have a star named after her. I heard she used to smoke crack, that’s probably what is wrong with her. Crazy bitch!

Therefore, what I am wondering and wanting to call Star registry and ask is if they send out a public notice of some sort. I think it is their duty to have it on the front page of the New york times, USA Today and The Washington Post and in Time Magazine a picture of the star, the coordinates and its new name. That way I feel i got my money’s worth and possibly BASF will contact me and want to buy advertising space on my star.”
