The one I've really cottoned to is from Metric's newer album, "Help I'm Alive" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtA7YIFapnY
It's seriously awesome (I mean, it is Metric), but it also has this terrific refrain about "beating like a hammer" with this driving beat. Perfect for shugging!

DAY 4: SUCCESS It was a toughie, too, because my wife popped some corn while we watched the hockey game. Didn't shovel glove, but I did urban range for 2.5 kms. I was actually fairly sore throughout my upper body, so I may not do it tomorrow either. I think this week I'll probably s-glove on Saturda...

DAY 3: SUCCESS , though my supper meal was not at all healthy (someone took our kids so we went to a movie). Also, first day of shovelgloving went terrifically, though "Churn the Butter" kicked my butt with only 9 reps on either side. Weak shoulders, I guess. I only did twelve minutes, and I'm glad ...

What subject do you teach? Also, is that your picture on the avatar? Very pretty! Deb, I teach freshman English. It's mostly communications/writing, that sort of thing. This term I'm teaching Engineers, which I haven't done before. They're a little more willing to follow me down rabbit trails, whic...

DAY 2: SUCCESS with some funny stuff . Basically, the funny stuff was me taking a few sips of Kool-Aid at supper before realizing "HEY! This is sweet stuff." I'm giving myself a pass on that one though. Also, one 591ml bottle of Diet Coke with Lime during class--it helps keep me focused so I don't b...

sporkfancier's daily check-in
Day 1: SUCCESS . I drank a can of diet coke with lime (crack in a can) in the morning, and a 591 ml bottle in the evening. In fairness, i hadn't yet discovered no-s in the morning, and the evening was a deacon's meeting that had "long & boring" written all over it. At the meeting one of the folks br...

There was a picture of me that I almost didn't recognize: strong jawline, noticable cheekbones, no breasts. It w...
