sorry, that last entry was me. at my gym. on a bike. listening to a cd. and on the web.

it's all about being on a cable modem while working out. take, for instance, these little netpulse bikes found at your local participating 24 hour fitness.
netpulse?

you go to your gym, which
a.you pay too much for (accounting for the days you actually make it there),
b.have a 17 year commitment to (how else could they charge you only $4.75 a month??) and
c.attempt to always look like you know EXACTLY what you are doing (ie. never read the little charts with the little stick men on those big iron jungle-gym-weight-deals sprouting cables),
and see a shiny new exercise bike with a tv on it.

alas, the NetPulse experience. i'll expound in my first Paper.Pile quip, but, as just mentioned, its an exercise bike with a tv. on this tv, you can either watch, uhh.. tv, or get on the web. i thought it would be funny to be on the web, and write in my little journal, and see if anyone watched what i was doing.

(wait! what a great way to pick up chicks! non-verbally even!! (has this ever been done before??))

anyways, today was a weird day. my supervisor at work quit. he's going to work for one of our (surprise) vendors. he was one of the coolest people to work for.

no, he was the coolest person i've worked for.
i'm still a little, i dunno, alarmed? pretty bummed.. yeah, sad. work will be different. not the end of the world or anything, just another, i dunno, lame thing.
oh well. later, Matt. good luck and all that. you'll be missed....
