BaD Cat! No Can Haz Giant Chicken!

Linked to Article Series: Blog a Day (BaD) 2014

I'm trying to solve a mystery. The mystery of why it took me so long to type this blog. So far, what I've uncovered has revealed much, yet my story seems to make less and less sense as I go along. 

As far as I know, my date went well last night. She liked the flowers and card I got her because it was her birthday weekend, and she seemed cute and nice. Dallas Buyers Club was a great movie too. I even got free popcorn and a movie ticket for the next time I want to go to the Student Center movie theater, just for filling out a survey. 

I woke up later than I wanted to because I was playing Ghost Trick and watching Game Grumps. Anyway, I left my apartment at about 7:50am, checked the work mailbox and started working at 8:30am ... none of this explains my blog's lateness, though.

Anyway, I worked my four hours from 8:30am to 12:30pm and then immediately got started on the paper due by 4pm I hadn't started on. Class lasted from 4 to 630pm as scheduled, and I was left with little time to keep returning to the line for entrees in order to get my prescribed 150g of protein per day. Seriously, just put the five entrees I want on my plate and I won't have to keep bothering you, on-campus kitchen staff! I should probably eat/drink more fruits and veggies, though, not just milk/cheese/meat like I've been doing. Maybe eat breakfast too so I can split up the eating I do every day. Wish I wouldn't have missed that nutritionist appointment. I should reschedule, but given the first thing I heard coming into work was my DJs talking about severe weather conditions for tomorrow, I wonder how soon I'll be able to. Tomorrow's just my cardio day, so I guess I wouldn't mind the rec center possibly being closed, but how does one simulate walking uphill on a treadmill (edit: I do know you would use a real hill in most cases, but none near me are big enough for 20 minutes straight and it's too damn cold!)? I guess just high stepping, but for 20 minutes? Bleh. Boring. Oh well. Just do it, I guess. At least it won't be closing on a weight lifting day like today where I need weights; lunges are enough of a pain in the ass without weights, but everything else would just feel like a too-easy waste of time, minus maybe the abs exercises. 

While I was working out, my friend's girlfriend, the one who made my http://PlentyofFish.com profile, asked me how the date went. I said it went good, but she's in Dallas next weekend for her arm and her bronchitis, or maybe only one of those things. Thus, I plan to buy candy on February 15th, during the sales goaztecs mentioned an Olympic woman tweeted about ... speaking of tweets, I gave hints at what I uploaded today as far as music to the radio station I run by way of @KSAURADIO. Those four bands I mention are a very small fraction. I try to say a couple well-known artists and a couple new ones every time I tweet after uploading new tunes. Feel free to stream us on http://ksauradio.com  or call 936-468-400 for requests as well. *ahem*

Speaking of dating and Olympians, 1) why can I not find NBC on my TV? Because apparently NBC is a cable channel in Nacogdoches, along with PBS ... the fuck? 2) A girl in my classes is either poking fun at my appearance or hitting on me, cause every time a professor mentions dating or Valentine's, she says my name. To be honest, I'm not opposed to dating her, but .. I dunno. That would complicate things given the circumstances, if I'm even reading her right. 

Anyway, once I got back to my apartment, I played some Ghost Trick and said I'd stop when I got stuck, and didn't get stuck for quite some time. In fact, I never got stuck, I just realized I had to type a blo ... oh, mystery solved.

Sounds like you've had a busy few days. BaD is only one of so many obligations in a day.

You simulate walking uphill on a treadmill by going outside and walking uphill. Mystery solved. Unless you don't have hills in that part of Texas...

The hills near me are not gonna last 20 minutes before I have to walk back down them, and I have never heard a trainer tell me downhill cardio is a good idea. I don't really feel like splitting up my cardio either, and I've been advised not to run, which would limit the intensity in the case I used a real hill. Also, too damn cold. Not that I couldn't do it, but I'm prone to cold of various types (bronchitis, etc.) pneumonia, etc.

 So yes, I know, but it wouldn't work for me as well as it would with a big hill and non-death weather outside. lol Tongue Out

Clearance candy is the best candy! 

I don't get why NBC or PBS is bundled into the cable. It's like they want you to use the online streaming...well played NBC. 

I say share some clearance candy with that girl in class. Heck ask her out. If she says no, no big deal, keep it moving, if she says yes, you get a date and clearance candy.

I think it has more to do with how licensing a channel in Nac works than with the stations themselves.

The thing is I would have asked her out already if I weren't dating anyone and that might make classes awkward. Those are the two extraneous factors. There are only three or four people in either class.

Ahh gotcha. That's happened to the DirecTV folks here a couple of months ago during football season. They couldn't carry CBS for a week. Thank goodness I'm on cable!

That's a small class!

Time Warner and CBS had it out with each other in Dallas a while back. And yeah, usually you make a class in a Master's program with five, but we get away because we are new. 

Damn broadcast TV ... lol.

Well your having more luck with women than I ever have, congrats!

As far as TV goes, I it's dumb that you have to pay for channels that used to be broadcasted for free for decades. Cable I understand, but not regular broadcast stations.

All it is is confidence. Which I gained by not caring after barking up the wrong tree after a good five years. Aloofness works, I guess. That and I started working out and my horrid facial blemishes started disappearing. I wouldn't say I'm a ladies' man, though. 

And I know, right?! What is this bullshit?!

Nice blog Joe. I genuinely enjoy "a day in the life" blogs. And all I'll say about dating is that for whatever reason, once you start opening up by dating someone, more opportunities tend to come along. Best of luck!

Super Step Contributing Writer

Yeah, you become more attractive when you're dating someone else or are with friends, studies show ... thanks.

If I'd have to guess why the blog took so longt was because of the date.

Obvious solution: Don't date. Problem solved.

..why are you looking at me like that?
