self-congratulatory work-related entry

I'm in the odd position of hoping to make some of my own recent work obsolete. We are implementing a significant process improvement based on work from the end of last year. Now we have initial data from a much more ambitious experiment which could obviate that change. It's just the first timepoint, and we have two more timepoints to measure, but I couldn't ask for better initial data.

If this works, I'm going to put a pile of money on the floor* and roll around in it.


* A little pile. All ones.

diet and exercise, bitches

I tried Turkish Get-Up intervals with my 1.5, but it was... less safe than when I was in top form, let's say. I tried using the trainer 'bell set to 25lbs, but it's the wrong shape. Did a little rope, some MPs, some chinups, and some PUs instead.

The DHL guy will hate me again, but only half as much as when I ordered the double. I really want those squat-type TGUs in my arsenal.

When you mix couscous, dehydrated spinach, dehydrated tomato, chick peas, chopped garlic, salt, mixed peppercorns, cayenne pepper, olive oil, and Wheatena (!), you get something much better than you'd expect. Seriously, it sounds awful, but it tastes great. Cumin! There's cumin in here, too. Don't forget the cumin.
