			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I went there, finally.  But I almost passed out on the elliptical!!  I knew I should have eaten more.  I was trying not to eat too much so my stomach wouldn&#8217;t be jiggling around getting grumpy, but then I just ended up feeling faint from not eating.  It&#8217;s probably better to overeat than undereat when it comes to cardio.  I at least went for half the amount of time I usually get on&#8230;</p>
<p>SO MANY Civ Revolution achievements, so little time.  I got a whole bunch.  I read online what they were.  I mean, the little Xbox thingy tells you too, but then you gotta click in and out and in and out&#8230; and in&#8230; and out&#8230; and I was like &#8220;fuck no&#8221; and went online.  I was skimming some of the strategies for the harder ones.  I mean, some of them looked impossible, like Win the game with only one city&#8230; or Win a Domination Victory on Deity&#8230; which is capturing everyone else&#8217;s capital on the hardest difficulty.  So I tried the One City one and got it pretty easily&#8230; it&#8217;s a lot easier when you play the scenario where you already have all the techs in the future.  I mean, I&#8217;m sure none of you know what the hell I&#8217;m talking about <img src='http://avaknightdiary.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' title="I WENT" />   Basically I sat around for a while and played a video game about taking over the world&#8230; without actually taking over the world.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a pretty good multitasker.  While I do all this, of course, I do work on the computer.  I was walking around listening to some depressing news about how screwed we are if the earth gets hit by a large asteroid.  Apparently we&#8217;d all be gone within a day.  Thanks Bill Bryson&#8230; I guess&#8230; I&#8217;m going to listen to more of this history book on my flight, which I&#8217;m excited about, if I&#8217;m not too tired&#8230; which is totally plausible <img src='http://avaknightdiary.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' title="I WENT" /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well I tried to go to the gym, I really did.  It was CLOSED.  They had a sign.  It even said that they will be open tomorrow, Sunday, but not on Saturday <img src='http://avaknightdiary.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' title="Well" />  What is up with THAT.  I&#8217;m not trying to slack off here&#8230; well, I won&#8217;t even be in town for a little bit next week, but at least I&#8217;m getting out to the gym and working out when it&#8217;s open.</p>
<p>I thought I would miss my friend leaving town because of the gym, but since I basically walked there and back, I was able to give her some cookies for the road.  I made some last night, and there was some dough left over <img src='http://avaknightdiary.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' title="Well" />  Oatmeal cookies!!</p>
<p>I have this song &#8220;Ice Cream&#8221; in my head.  By Sarah McLachlan.  Sometimes I feel like telling someone about this, but I fear that many people will tell me that Sarah McLachlan is terrible, or something.  I think as far as female singers go, she&#8217;s the most mainstream/acceptable??  Anyway, it&#8217;s a good song.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my friends is visiting from out of town, so I couldn&#8217;t make it to the gym <img src='http://avaknightdiary.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' title="Friends" />  I will go tomorrow!</p>
<p>What also happened is CIVILIZATION REVOLUTION.  I&#8217;m going to pretend that not going to the gym is TOTALLY UNRELATED to this new video game.  It&#8217;s supposed to be simpler than Civ IV, and it is, but it&#8217;s still a lot of fun.  The games still take a while, and I can micromanage some things, so it&#8217;s all good.  I basically try to get a bunch of defensive units and expand a little until I get riflemen and tanks and roll over everyone.  There is no other strategy in my opinion.  Tech towards tanks <img src='http://avaknightdiary.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' title="Friends" />   There&#8217;s also these ancient artifacts you can go find if you get a boat early on, so it&#8217;s worth it to go take a boat out and explore.  The best one is finding Atlantis, because you &#8220;get&#8221; an &#8220;explosion&#8221; of &#8220;happiness&#8221; or err wait, that&#8217;s just what I want.  In the game you get a lot of bonuses.  It also makes me happy.  Civilization is going to eat me aliiiive <img src='http://avaknightdiary.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' title="Friends" /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yeah so I went to the gym and it hurts <img src='http://avaknightdiary.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' title="Ohhhh the gym" />  It&#8217;s been a while, so no surprise there.  I listened to a few chapters of this book called A Short History of Nearly Everything&#8230; one of these days I&#8217;m going to finish it.  The chapters take like 45 minutes to finish, so 20 minutes on the elliptical doesn&#8217;t seem like it&#8217;s going to cut it.  But I&#8217;m going on a flight soonish, so I take these opportunities to catch up on my &#8220;reading.&#8221;  No, actually, I do have a book that I can actually read while I listen to it.  I read so much faster than I listen&#8230; might as well read&#8230;</p>
<p>Anyway, I hope my triceps finally get into gear, and maybe get some endurance on my legs.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget about my new cam show times!  They are:</p>
<p>Tuesdays @ 5pm EST<br />
Thursdays @ 8pm EST<br />
Sundays @ 10pm EST</p>
<p>So basically everything&#8217;s been moved forward <img src='http://avaknightdiary.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' title="Ohhhh the gym" />  Enjoy!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I woke up today and thought &#8220;OH GOD&#8230; work.&#8221;  Well, this happens every day, as I strive to provide the best work to everyone ever.  This also means sometimes I work too much on a lot of things, but what else am I supposed to do, right <img src='http://avaknightdiary.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' title="Working working working" />  Well, today, I finally bit the bullet and registered myself for a little gym membership.  It&#8217;s been a while, but I&#8217;ve got my gym shorts on now and I plan to go in a few hours (yeah I&#8217;m too lazy to change into the shorts so I&#8217;m just wearing them until I go).   I even wrote it down on my weekly calendar to go three days a week.</p>
<p>Should I do yoga again?  I remember that I went to two different classes: One was really mellow and had relaxing music, and the other was more active, with the teacher walking around and fixing us if we needed fixing (the poses).  It wasn&#8217;t until I got into the second that I realized that I might not have been doing proper yoga with the mellow guy.  I guess I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m looking for in a yoga class?  To be able to stretch more or to relax while stretching out a bit?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m always forgetting to submit these because my computer frequently freezes to the point that I have to restart it.  It saves the drafts, but then I&#8217;m expected to remember everything I was doing, which I often do not <img src='http://avaknightdiary.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' title="Working working working" />  Ooooops.</p>
