Sasha, glad your gym experience was fun!

Today is the third day in a row I have a pounding headache. I'm prone to migraines (and had one last month), but this....worries me.

It was an interesting experience though. I'm totally going to regret it tomorrow.
Sounds like a lot of fun, but I'm with you on the weird placement of the beams - that's just odd to have them on a platform like that. Still, how awesome that you can do full turns on beam. GO YOU! That is a difficult skill.

It was fun. Now I'm very, very sore.

I ripped the toes of both my socks today while putting my shoes on. I've been irritable since Monday, getting cranky about stupid things. This should probably be in the rant thread, but it's not even worth rant-worthy.

[/crankiness] Seriously.

That's a lot like my gym. Except we do have a tumble track, but it's right next to the wall. There's no platforms anywhere. Just equipments, mats, and floor. We used to have a vault, which was right next to a plastic wall and I used to get really scared being next to it because it didn't seem really stable and it felt like you could break the wall easily and fall really far into the basketball courts underneath. Across the gym is the regular gym with weight training equipment, treadmills, the works. It's a medium sized facility and it's shared with like 50 other sports.

LOL! Your grandma is on the cutting edge of pop culture, eh?

I really like the way I look after 1-3 days of being unshaven. Cleanshaven looks a little too bare for me, and mountain man is too bushy. However, I'm so lazy I usually wait 2-3 weeks between shaving so I end up looking like a grizzly bear (or worse—a hipster) for a couple of weeks.

So, I'm watching the Disney Channel, as one does, and I was remembering the days when you had to pay for this channel. It was like HBO and Showtime. I was a bitter child because my mom wouldn't pay for it.

My TV is stuck on the NBC weather channel. I'm not sure how it happened.

Anyway, they keep playing the Doppler radar and because there's no precipitation in my area it just stays the same. The time changes and it's just the map. No color. lol
