"Hoo-Yah!"

03/27/2002

AAAIIIIIIIEEEE! There are only 10 days left until NCRF! Now I know many of you out there in the hinterlands are saying, "Well duh, Your Wise and Benevolent Chiefiness. We already knew that."

Hey, I never claimed to be the sharpest cannonball on the rack. In my head, I know NCRF is next weekend and that it is fast approaching but somehow it didn't register that I only have one weekend left to get ready.

I see you out there waving your hand furiously in the air like Kermit the Frog after a grande double caffe' latte. What's that? You want to know what I could possibly need to do since I'm not working the Faire and I have all the garb I need? Well, since that bodice is so becoming on you, dear lass *leer* I will enlighten you.

I may or may not have mentioned before but I had an idea a while ago about what I wanted this year's Faire tokens (those little decorated pins that you hand out to friends at Renaissance Faires) to be. No, I'm not going to tell you what they are yet but suffice to say they shall rock.

In Training News:
I stumbled upon this website about a guy in New York City who went to a two week course based on the Navy SEAL's physical training regimen known as BUD/S. First of all, Peter (the guy who took the course) is one funny writer. I was literally laughing outloud. He doesn't exactly give a detailed description about the forms of the exercises but basically the program doesn't use any equipment other than your own body (except for the occasional medicine ball or log). Think of it as all those calisthenics that we did in Jr. High only multiplied by a factor of 1,000. The program is more about pushing yourself, focus and truly realizing that you CAN do anything you want to do. Tony Robbins on crack. Oh yeah, the Clanchief loves him some motivational shit.

Speaking of motivation, I just got electronically *thwapped* by Marcy because I ran out of my Coumadin last week and haven't gotten more. Because I am a bright and smart in-duh-vidual, I also mentioned that my right leg was noticeably swollen right now from all the training I've been doing.

I'll just stand here while the Thwapping Line forms to the right.

I think you get double thwapped for that one! Thwap, Thwap ~ Annette MacDobhran Mayden (^. .^) @ 6:06 p.m. EST on 03/27/2002
