Weakly Workouts

[shanmonster]

Somehow, despite going to the gym, teaching dance classes, and taking dance classes, I seem to have lost muscle tone. I believe this is because I haven't been doing systematic weight training. So as of today, I intend on once again doing daily weight lifting. I'm thinking five or six days a week. I'm still not sure how I want to space this out. Do I do upper body work on the days when I do pole dancing or on the days I do wing chun? Both will leave me pretty sore and trembly!

Ah well. I guess I just have to pick one and suffer with it until my body catches up with me.

Before I run off to the gym, here are a few links:

Mind-Control Microbe: I knew that toxoplasmosis had an effect on personality, but I didn't know it made this many changes (thanks, Benoit).

Missionary encounters extremely bizarre skin condition in Eastern Europe: A man appears to be growing stalactites and stalagmites.

My Boobs are Ok: A ridiculous music video (thanks, balthcat).

In My Language: An autistic woman gives us glimpses into her world.

Speaking of MIT, today is the day they mail out acceptance letters, to celebrate a very special day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_Day).

And it's Albert Einstein's birthday (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein), too!

My Boobs, My Boobs, My Boobs Are Okay!

Regarding the "Mind Control Microbe," if their study was rejected by eight scientific journals, there's a strong probability they have some deep flaws in their reasoning or methodology.
