Excesses at Target and Bikram! So I went to Target for the first time yesterday and bought a 1L bottle of Listerine (the 1.5L looked a little too big). You know, I was in the neighbourhood. I discovered that if you have a cart at Target you can take it with you between floors via a freaky cart lifter thing:
After Target I convinced Fruit Loops to come with me to my first Bikram yoga class. I wanted to sample the suffering after reading Nicholas' post. It was an excess of heat and sweating! I don't know how Nicholas managed to make it through without a towel (my towel was absolutely drenched when I finished). For a while near the end I didn't think I would make it: the instructor was talking really fast and the salt in my sweat kept stinging my eyes while I was fumbling through the poses. Some people in the class were doing a 30-day Bikram challenge (Bikram every day for 30 days straight). Me, I was happy to have survived one. In the end though I felt really good. I suppose it's the suffering that gives you the feeling of progress.
It's always advised to replenish one's toxins after such a cleansing experience. Fruit Loops and I scarfed down a pepperoni pizza last night and I went out for a big fat burger and a beer after work today. So I'm all back to normal.

Starbucks mass processing @ 11 am, then to Aveda with the Swedish Moss (essential of course), then to Crate and Barrel where any gay man can spend his fortune, back to home in search of locked away globes (alas), torture in the den of heat and glistening bodies, shower and...oops, shower, a respite with avacado salad and pepperoni pizza, homeless guy gets the mint (and looses it, probably on pepperoni pizza and New! Beer-flavored hot pockets), mass storage device resuscitation, and finally 'Please God let me make more money!' resume building 101 w/Professor Handcock. A fun day indeed! xox

I think the moss might have been Icelandic. I can't remember though. Scandinavian moss is essential though, yes. Just like the Siberian geese feathers in my pillows. Any other kind of goose just wouldn't do.
That was a full day... no wonder I was so tired yesterday.

Wow, I had no idea Bikram was such a money-crazed psycho. Enforcing copyright on an exercise routine seems a bit excessive. He doesn't look like he's aged a day in twenty years though...
