My back hurts, and I'm tired all the time.
I try not to spend all my time on this blog complaining, but that's a one-two punch right there that can really get a fella down. Ugh.
Last night I got home from work and we went to the gym. The weights area was crowded and, as I said, my back was hurting, so I just skipped that and did the cardio. T-- suggested that we do the elliptical machines, since they might be easier on the back (and she was very, very wrong). I found myself falling back into my old pace, though, which is a pretty grueling one. I was impressed to learn I can still keep that up, and in fact my heart rate never got into the red (where it used to stay for 25 of the 30-minute workout). So that was good.
Afterward, I dropped her off at home so she could mow the lawn, and I took AB up to the mall to pick up another month's worth of protein shake mix, and while I was out I dropped off a check and picked up some dinner. Then we watched Arrested Development until AB went to bed, and then some Boston Legal until we went to bed.
There was an episode all about "On Civil Disobedience" by Thoreau, but they never actually made any reference to it, which thoroughly dumbfounded me. I don't know if they really did come up with the concept on their own, and are ignorant of the text, or if there are some glaring flaws in his philosophy that they didn't want to subject themselves to. It was strange, though, seeing such an explicit allusion in a show that almost always names its sources, and then getting only a reference to some anti-Communist piece during Allan's closing.
I definitely need to reread "Civil Disobedience," though. It was good material.
Other than that, it's just things and stuff.
