Busy life...

elfsI had a busy day yesterday. After a full day at the office, I rode the bus home and pounded out another 400 words on a story I'm not quite feeling yet. Okay, so basically I want Wish's take on what it's like to boink a Sterling, but why? What point am I making? Is it a meditation on Wish's Zen (first mentioned in Decadence in December) and the way it interacts with her strong-but-passive sex drive (I know, a funny contradiction, but there are a lot of women like that: who want to be wanted, but aren't quite up to saying, "How do I convince you to want me, and how will I know it?"), or do I want to comment on the bittersweetness of Buddhist sex, or maybe a look at how Wish navigates the Borderlands. Hmm.
Anyway, got home and was plunged into homelife. Did the dishes and managed to slip a knife or something under my right thumbnail, which is now excrutiating and making it hard to type. Made dinner, tacos with a home made spice mix. I found a knife sharpener that I like and slicing and dicing the tomatoes was a pleasure for once, even with my aching thumb. Helped Kouryou-chan find her bicycle helmet, and replaced the tires on Omaha's bicycle from the mountain treads to the street treads. I discovered that my own front wheel is completely out of true, but it was too dark to do anything by the time I was done with Omaha's. Fed and watered the cat.
I've been doing the one hundred push-ups thing. I'm through the first week, so far so good. I noticed, as I was looking at the home page, that there's an advertisement in the lower left-hand corner for a "hard-core belly." It leads to an exercise and diet regime that you have to pay money for, but it occured to me that there's a much simpler answer, especially if you're already doing the One Hundred thing. If the push-ups only take a few minutes a day, and I do seem to be on the curve they recommended to 100, then... what if on alternating days (since the push-up thing is every other day), I did bicycle crunches on the exact same schedule?
We'll see how it goes.
