What? WHAT? Speak up, I can't hear over all these crickets!

I didn't go to the gym today. I'm feeling a time crunch here at work and I just wasn't comfortable with the idea of leaving the office for a whole entire hour. But that's okay, because yesterday, according to my trusty pedometer, I managed to burn twice as many calories just running around this place trying to get my work done than I normally burn in a single cardio session at the gym, and I expect to repeat that performance today. At any rate, I'm already way over the weekly quota of calories-which-must-be-burned set for me by SparkPeople, so I'm not too worried about it.

So what did I do with my hour instead? I performed the ueber-productive tasks of blogging elsewhere and watching YouTube. Specifically, I watched the Film Pigs' review of Grindhouse (The Film Pigs, if you don't know, are made up of former TWoP 'capper Stee and a couple of his friends, who go see movies and then videotape themselves standing around and talking about them afterwards. Genius!), which pretty well lined up with what Matt and I thought of the movie. As you can see, that was an hour well spent.

Now, I'm going to mostly disappear from the 'webs for the rest of the day so I can tackle some of the things here on the job front that are stressing me out and keeping me from being able to focus entirely on the novel in the mornings. The piles are closing in, and I fear they're going to bury me if I don't pay them some attention soon. As it is, it's getting pretty claustrophobic here in my cubby hole.

When I come back I'll start addressing the requests and questions posed here... that is, if I ever get any. By the way, much thanks to my comment regulars for all of the love and praise, and right back atcha. But for those of you in the silent majority who aren't so satisfied with the status quo or have any particular topic they'd like to see addressed more often, or at all, in this here blog, now's your chance to speak up.
