Workout 2008.08.17 Time - 42:26 Calories - 503 Music - Covenant - Speed Oingo Boingo - Cry Of The Vatos Brank - Alongside The Juggernaut Attrition - The Mercy Machine Oingo Boingo - Nothing Bad Ever Happens To Me Acid Horse - No Name, No Slogan (Hypo Luxa Hermes Pan Mix) Chemlab - Elephant Man Einsturzende Neubauten - Yu-Gung Assemblage 23 - Love My Way Weigh-out: 253.2 lbs. Was hoping to go for an hour, but couldn't quite make it. I knew it was a little ambitious. Lots to do before Burning Man, but I'm determined to get my cardio and muscle mass up, even if the weight doesn't drop much at all. I can tell that I'm gaining muscle mass to match the weight loss, and I'm not as bloaty as I was a month ago. So I got THAT going for me.... Current Mood: satisfied |

Tech. Getting ready to build a new computer.
If anyone has any recommendations on motherboards (probably for an Athlon X2), I could use them.
I've been eyeballing the 780g chipsets, but I'm a bit lost at this point. It's been years since I built anything. |

Saturday afternoon sauna! The Haus is getting hot and muggy. brokenheather is away having hair modifications done to various parts of her body. (You figure that one out yourself.) Senior Happenstance and I will be AFK, for a little swimming at my aunt's house in Valinda. My aunt has also purchased me and Heather a large tent for the dirtrave. I will use my grandmother's backyard to try to assemble the tent. (Gramms lives next door to my aunt.) TXT me if you need to get ahold of me. Otherwise, have a great night! PS: super birthday happinesses to theraevyn!!! Current Mood: bouncy |

Unapologetic Come to GC this Monday, and bring people. I need the money. Honestly though, money would be good. Windows To Sky will be playing a short set, and I would love to be able to give them some gas money or buy them a few drinks, since they agreed to play for free. Plus they're pretty good, so they deserve something. Also, our Burning Man fund is dangerously low. I spend a shit-ton of energy throughout the year to help people, and I deserve a vacation. Heather too. We'll make it there, regardless of how Monday goes, but I'd like to be able to lighten the financial load. Schreeck could use a decent GC payday to help with his expenses as well. So yeah. There ya go. Mondays have been okay. I need them to go a little better though. I'm hoping that after our trip, I can implement the automated rig and increase the songs-per-evening rate. I don't plan on charging any more than I am now, but I really need to get the numbers up if there's going to be a GC next year. Four years is a mighty long time to go without a steady pay-off. STRAYLIGHT is going well, thanks to those of you who come out and make it fun. We have an interesting mix of people, and there's a tremendous amount of room for expansion - I'm pretty sure I can get access to the other room rather easily. And that patio is begging for people to chill out and play cards or whatever on it. The WiFi is up and running strong now, and there's no cover. You should come check it out, if you haven't been yet. Doomie changes up the menu every week or two, so the food is good and interesting. LOL, wasn't planning on this post being an upsell. Funny how things turn out. Current Mood: chipper |

HAHAHAHA *I* thought it would have been a fabulous joke, with better execution. But all this guy did was get caught trying to work a scam, under the guise of a joke. (That's just my opinion, but read for yourself.) http://www.bmticketbuyback.com/ Current Mood: amused |

All the latest... Perhaps none care at the moment or, possibly, ever have, but I figured a fresh announcement couldn't hurt anyway. The Big Rusty Lie, bastion of wit and amusement, while still available in print is now all electronical for you new-fangled youngsters who have Kindles. (Who that might actually be, I have no idea, but they're selling early iPod numbers, so I say "Welcome to our new corporate overlords!") So you can get it on the cheap for a few mere dollars (which Amazon rapes me on and then gives me the change) for your Kindle. Or you can spend a few more and get one of the exceptionally-beautiful printed versions. You can get it from those links or many others. You can always just go to my website, ryanspeck.com, and get the appropriate links there or just buy it from me. I'm sure I'll do something special to it. That's, sadly, all the news currently fit to print. |

Hot. The temperature in the Haus went up two degrees while brokenheather and I were away to dinner. I suspect the humidity to be the culprit. This weird wannabe storm thing is mucking up my night. I was enjoying the not-cold breeze this evening, wishing I could be asleep naked under the cloudy sky. But inside the Haus, it quickly became uncomfortably warm. Accuweather says it's a comfortable 71 degrees, but the 80% humidity is screwing the whole thing up. That would explain why I'm still awake, despite running both the A/C and the box fan in the bedroom. I'm very sleepy, but I really need to be a little cold these days to get comfy. Perhaps dropping some more body fat will let me release heat a little better.... |
