So SXSW is going on right now. I wish I were there. I especially wish I were there because it’s currently thirty-four degrees and blustery in Chicago. That said, I suppose it’s a good thing I didn’t go this time, because I’m busy as all get out right now. Nothing new, right? Some days I feel like my best friends are a boulder and a vulture.
On the upside, I have reinitiated my workout plan, and have been doing about ten miles a day on the stationary bike, peppered with various weight-lifting binges. I am currently wishing I knew enough about Ruby on Rails to write a kickass personal training system. This is one of those things I would be happily discussing in Austin right now over Shiners, but alas it was not to be. With a little luck, I’ll be back down to my fighting weight by this time next year, and will proceed to charm the living daylights out of the lovely ladies of Texas.
Right. I’m going to quit whining and go do some pushups or something. Or, more likely, revisit the ol’ cooking project. Onward!
