A Few Quickies On Hump Day

Evil

  • Evil Twin #2 and sirK came over to play Rock Band last night. After a long layoff, we were worried that we might suck as a band. In fact, we rocked! By the end of the night, we were all on EXPERT (ET#2 on expert vocals, sirK on expert guitar, and me on expert bass). Not only that, we 5-starred the last two songs we played. Now over 500,000 fans.
  • Did not work out last night due to Rock Band. The day before was a scheduled rest day, so that's 2 days in a row without working out. I think maybe Team Steph has been colluding with Evil Twin #2.
  • I saw some very impressive parenting on the subway this morning. This 4 year old girl was throwing an absolute fit because she didnt want to sit in the orange seat. Instead, she wanted the yellow seat. The girl's face turned beet red and she exploded in tears. The mom told her to get up and stand and gave the seat to a stranger.
  • Rumor has it that Evil Twin #2 and XTIAN have their own weight loss bet going. The original stakes were: loser takes the winner out to dinner. Boooo! That's so weak. I am unilaterally changing the stakes to something that counts. Here goes: If Evil Twin #2 loses, she needs to run a half marathon within 6 months of losing the bet. If XTIAN loses, he needs to run a 10K within the same time period. (Why isnt XTIAN held to a half marathon standard? Cmon, let's be real here!)
  • I found the best shoe shine place in Manhattan. This guy is a master of his craft. He really cares about the quality of his work. I can appreciate that. Going to get a shoe shine now.
