some thoughts also my idea for a mini-series called Rock Swap

 -I started rollerskating again and I don't know exactly why but it made my squats feel dramatically better. It must just really get the hamstrings and glutes fired up. That was a really exciting discovery. My squats had been improving but even when though the numbers were going up, lighter weights than my one rep max still felt really heavy and slow. Today was the first day I felt really strong at lighter weights and that gave my confidence to go for some PR's which was great.

-I've already said this before but I love the climbing gym because it combines my two favorite things: making progress at something I enjoy and want to improve in AND going to a place where I know I'll see people I like being around without having to plan it. That's it. That's the top two. It's perfect.

-I learned the notes to Sweet Jane and What Was I Made For and melodica on this weekend. So far I can badly play

    -the flute part to Mask Off

    -part of the Rakehorn Pipe

    -Tequila

    -the Charge! song from sports arenas

    -the opening part of Redbone

    -4 chords of Creep

    -Green Greens

    -Hidden in the Sand (kinda)

    -the chords of Just a Friend (kinda)

    -The Saints

    -the opening of Hips Don't Lie

    -the opening of Runaway

    -Woo-Hoo (kinda) by the 5.6.7.8's


-I ordered CorrectToes today so that was fun

-I'm getting my car inspected on Tuesday at the garage across the street so I won't have to bum a ride off someone

-I need to go get groceries and I think I'll eat an entire frozen pizza tonight

-I listened to this podcast today with this woman Catherine Liu and she was talking about politics and history and the attitudes of people in the 'elite class' or the 'professional management class' and talking about class consciousness and about how as a professor she felt like her job was to supplicate before the super wealthy/donor class while standing on the heads of the working class. 

-If I had to come up with an idea for a show it would be a mini-series called Rock Swap and this girl would have a rock in her pocket and the show would start with her knowing at that at some point she is supposed to meet someone who will swap rocks with her in a Rock Swap but she doesn't know who that person is and she can't just ask anyone she meets because she thinks there's a huge stigma around being a Rock Swapper. She lives in a future where that's just not done. And there's a guy who is training for a mission to go to a mysterious second moon that suddenly appeared in the sky one day and for most of the show you think he's going to be the rock swap guy but actually he goes to the second moon and discovers it's just a big rock like the original moon and everyone is like 'ugh so boring' so he goes back home and is forgotten about because it's not like he's Neil Armstrong or whatever like there's just a second moon now who cares and he ends up marrying the rock swap girl but she never tells him about the rock swap and they have a kid and the kid when she's like 7 or whatever finds the rock and gives it to her friend who falls into an alligator enclosure and she's fine the alligators don't react and she gets rescued by whoever BUT the alligator eats the rock and then in the credits we see the alligator burrowing down into the center of the earth which is full of alligators and there's a door in the center of the earth that leads to the second moon and that's where they have their lasagna parties.
