I had a scary moment last night. I was biking home from my dance class when I saw someone was throwing out a bunch of stuff, including a toy shopping cart. I thought my nephew might like such a thing, so I spun back and got it. It was not heavy or particularly large, but it was awkward. I found a way to hold it in one hand and started biking home.

At one point, the breeze caught the toy and shifted it in my grip, and my knee got caught in the basket part, which caused me to suddenly veer out into the street without warning.

There were no cars, but my heart was pumping pretty hard and fast up in my throat for a moment, there.

So now, at great potential cost, Ralph has a free toy shopping cart, next time he comes to visit. He'd better like it! Ha!

I'm searching for music to use for an upcoming Hallowe'en dance performance. I'm looking for something I could use for a piece about necromancy. So far, the most interesting pieces have been from the Last Temptation of Christ soundtrack, the opening sequence of Ghost in the Shell, and Nox Arcana's Night of the Wolf. I wish I were better at sound editing on my computer. I'd find a way to mix them together.

Today I sent in a submission for an interesting-looking dance opportunity in November.

Link time.

The Candy With the Hole: This advertising campaign can't possibly be accidental.

Female Infants Growing Breasts: Another Disaster From Hormones in Milk Production: Horrid, yet the morbid part of me laments there are no pictures.

'The Walking Dead': Zombie awesomeness in series trailer: This looks so good! I need to see it.

Visual Impact Muscle Building: I don't agree with all of the author's opinions, but he did give me some interesting food for thought, and helped me understand why the exercises I've been doing have been making my muscles grow suddenly. I'm intrigued.

Chinchilla Poop Reveals How Much It Rained: "Chinchilla poop is serving an unlikely purpose in one of the world's driest places, Chile's Atacama Desert. The animals' tiny waste pellets are helping scientists reconstruct the rainfall in the region over the last 14,000 years." Lucky scientists, playing with poop all day.

The 200 yard gong shot: About the only time golf has ever been interesting to me. Impressive! But I think gongs make everything better.

Using the Lat Pull Down Machine to Get Strong for Your First Pull-up: Makes perfect sense, but I hadn't thought of it this way. Looks like I have a new way to think about pull-ups.

Eye Wired Open: "When Canadian filmmaker Rob Spence decided to have his badly damaged eye removed from its socket, he chose to replace it not with a prosthetic, but with a wireless camera. The decision, he says, was easy." Cue Terminator II theme music....

Persephone: A lovely painting by Colette Calascione (nudity). I'd love to have this on my wall. In the meantime, it is my desktop image. The other paintings are interesting, too.

Crazy dildo time! Cthulhu | Xenomorph | Zombie. The last one reminds me of that creepy disease porn I wrote a while back.

Miniature Motor Home: I ... I think I want one.

And just 'cause, here's a picture of me in action, doing jumping Hindu squats. Shaun thought this was the funniest shit, ever. The picture is probably blurry because of his laughter.

This is Artur. He is incredible. I don't know what else to say.

Success!

I'm pleased with myself. Based on the principles I was reading about this week, I managed my first ever overhand grip chin-up. I pulled using my lats, and not just my arm muscles. It wasn't easy, but I did it. Booyeah!

Time to go to the gym.
