Green Shirt Thursday, Photo Access and the Year of the Rabbit

The latest in IT blockage has been Flickr and the LJ Scrapbook, not in the viewing of materials on them, but the access to photo uploading. Stranger and stranger. So today I had to email the photo to my Flickr account, which seems to work just fine.

I took my Green Shirt Thursday pic today. It feels off to call today Thursday, since I worked Sunday. It feels like Friday and then it feels disappointing that it isn't.

Today is the start of the Year of the Rabbit in the Chinese calendar. I took a spin through Wikipedia and found I was born in the Year of the Rat. According to the entry, my year can also be called the Year of the Mouse, as the Chinese symbol is the same for both. I think I like mouse better. Mouse is cute where rat makes me think of Templeton from "Charlotte's Web."

Working Out Hysterically

Okay, so I'm doing the P90X workout called "Core Synergistics." It's actually kinda fun, working the core muscles and finding that things are actually moving at a good pace. It's only my second time trying this one.

Toward the very end of the overall workout, there is this move that is basically a tricep dip workout with one leg raised in the air. After about five struggled reps, my non-raised leg shook and my butt hit the ground.

When I raised up to see how much time was left in this particular exercise, the leader Tony was asking one of the very fit, very blonde ladies a question.

"So how many are you gonna do, Dreya?"

"Twenty-five," she responded.

"BITCH!" I exclaimed.

I immediately started giggling... and then laughing... uncontrollably, enjoying the fact I'm at home and absurdly yelling at a DVD.
