I attended two and a half exercise classes yesterday (cycling at noon, aerobics at 5:30, and yoga at 6:30). I left the aerobics class after a half hour because I really don't like aerobics, and the high-impact stuff was bothering my sore foot. So I went and did a bunch of stretching instead. While I took my own sweet time doing that, a hugely-muscled man made his way over to me to inform me I shouldn't stretch cold.

"I'm not," I said. "I just did a half hour of cardio."

I guess I don't look like I know what I'm doing.

This morning I had a triple-decker dream. I woke up, stood up, and closed my eyes, then woke up, made my bed, and then woke up yelling when snowy_kathryn knocked on my door to borrow clothes, and then woke up for real when my clock went off. I'm still waiting to wake up again and realize I don't have to go in to that training meeting for the nasty sales job.

My browsers are overloaded. The internet's tubes are full!

So here are some links:

Liberty Desecrated: At first, I thought this was the actual Statue of Liberty, and I was afraid. But it's just in some church's backyard, so now I don't feel so icky.

Jewish family flees Delaware school district's aggressive Christianity: What is with all the tyrannical theocracy, anyway?

Kansas Classrooms: This looks about right (thanks, fourcorners).

Zuiikin English : Sankakukin Trouble: These Japanese learn-English-while-exercising videos get weirder and weirder.

Brain, Heal Thyself: "An unassuming former auto mechanic named Terry Wallis may hold the answer to the question of whether the brain can heal itself."

Cambodians ride 'bamboo railway': I want to ride on it!

Grave Robber Sentenced: Remember the guy who got caught making a bong out of a human head? I think he's kinda cute.

How is fish's weight that Dora cat can carry?: Apparently, "dora" means stray. Now this is my kind of game show!

Gum that makes body smell like rose targets men: This sounds like just the thing to hand out at gaming conventions, hmm?

LP Covers: A collection of vintage cheesecake album covers, some of which are NSFW. This is my favourite.

How about an off-topic question?

What are practicing Jehovah's Witnesses supposed to do if they find out that one of their coworkers is a former JW? Does the rule about not interacting with them have escape clauses for things like that, or do they pretty much have to quit the job?

Hmm. As far as I can recall, JWs can work with a disfellowshipped person, but their conversation with that person can only be work-related. No other congress is allowable. So you don't say hi to them, and you don't eat meals with them.

Delaware School District

I think Delaware is highly homogeneous; its residents rarely move out of state.

I have met only one person from Delaware my whole life, but I've met *lots* of people from other small-population states.

I've never met anyone from there, afaik.

I think it's awesome that there is a Japanese fitness
video that prepares women to be passive.

If only that grave robber were an archaeologist, he'd
be able to do that sort of thing without the penal
trouble.

I think they were using Katamari Damacy models for the
animations in that cat-fish gameshow.

That white cat kicks ass.

I'm sure he was just trying to flirt.

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

Probably!

This theocracy stuff is scaring me, too. The Christian Right movement has started to catch on in the UK a little bit (not that extremely, but I can sense a tendency of certain groups / media) and I am really scared it will come to Germany. I like living in a partnership with my Significant Other, His Lordship; I am bi-curious and not ashamed of it, I encourage diversity and, while I have been raised Catholic, I do not approve of most of their doctrines. Actually I think that most "Christian" doctrines have nothing to do with Jesus' intentions :-(
