I’ve been told by the young guys that if I can stay out until 4AM like they do, then I should have to do the same exercises with the same weight as the young guys. I think it would kill me. However, I have decided that my non-manly music enjoyment is growing today but I can’t really remember what it was that made me decide that. Duran Duran maybe? More Erasure? Just can’t remember.

I have decided that I think the woman in the Yoplait commercial who is having all her clothes “taken in” by the seamstress is kind of hot. She has a very expressive face. Really, I don’t know where I’m going with this, but last Friday night my heterosexual life partner Il and I were discussing my old girlfriends (and when was I actually dating non-imaginary women? 15 years ago?) and a couple of them were kind of frightening to Il. Honestly, they were kind of frightening to me, too. The one he remembers being non-scary and attractive, however, kind of looked like the woman in the Yoplait ad. Not a lot like her, but a little.

Oh, and even with my ridiculous diet of this weekend, I’ve lost about five pounds recently. I seem to vary 5 pounds up and down so it’s not like it really means anything. I even tried to get a taco salad today at Juan Colorados (the Mexican restaurant where I’ve never seen any patrons who looked Mexican) and even tried to avoid the fried shell, sour cream, and guacamole. What I got had a little bit of lettuce and a bit more chicken and a whole lot of melted cheese. Not much of a salad. That’s what I get for eating with gringos. The place I wanted to go, Don Pedros, has things that aren’t a whole lot more healthy, but I think I like the two chicken tacos, rice, and refried beans a lot more. The best thing I can say about my melted cheese salad is that it wasn’t very large.

I suppose I should be happy that we did a “Chipper” workout and not a suicide drill. (Hey Nathan, that’s the truly barf-inducing exercise I was thinking of the other day.)
