My friend Nick, who has been helping me get into shape, is starting a group of us on a new exercise system boot camp next week. He hasn't told us what it's all about yet, but he did send me this text: "Eat ur weaties adam. the tractor tires r huge!" I guess we may be doing the 300 thing. wish me luck!

The day before yesterday I took Elisia over to the bike shop to get her tire fixed and a few things put onto her bike, and I had a revelation. Chris Redfield's shirt is not an athletic shirt or compression shirt as I first believed. It is in fact a Bike Jersey. Now it's just a matter of finding one in the correct color scheme. It's tempting to get this one: www.performancebike.com/bikes/Product_10052_10551_1099367_-1_1595010_1595009_400060#ReviewHeaderand just slap some BSAA patches on it and be like "Done!" but I don't know if I am willing to spend $90 plus shipping on it. I am going to start looking at local sports and cycling stores and see what I can find.

Have you looked on Ebay? You might be able to find that shirt or something similar for cheaper.

Thats a good idea, I will check that out tonight or tomorrow. Also, I am finally back in town and will be here for a few weeks, so regular updates can now resume!

So the tractor tires are, in fact, huge. I am able to lift the smaller one by myself, but not the bigger one. But I don't feel bad, Nick can't lift the bigger one either. I have bruises on my biceps from pulling/pushing so hard on the tire. Tonight is going to be painful fun!

Just wait until Nick ties a rope around both you and the tire, and tells you to 'Run'.
You all enjoy that now, ya hear?

Yesterdays workout was bonkers. Unfortunately I seem to have pulled a muscle in my groin on the very last exercise we did last night. Oh well, I guess i will take a few days off.

Sometimes it feels like there are not enough hours in a day. There is so much stuff that i am trying to get done and I don't have time to do any of it. And now that anime club is starting again, that means that i am going to have 8 less hours each week. I need to figure out a better solution for time management.

naw, we would all go different directions, do different things, and be jealous of each other because we would each perceive the others as having more fun.

Out of curiosity, what SINISTER PLANS are you working on aside from what's been mentioned on the board (vacuuform table / Chris Redfield cosplay / workout)? Quite frankly, if you pulled something in your groin I'd say you're entitled to at least take it somewhat easy!
I can empathize: I'm just now getting back into the rhythm of productivity -- as much as a home-school college student is productive, anyway -- that had been thrown off by a month of travelling boo hoo [/1st World Problems].

I'm actually working on a group of costumes, Redfield is just out front since i want to have it done by Halloween. On that note, after an exhaustive search, I have decided to just make his shirt from scratch. The only things I have found that are close enough for me to be happy with are $100 and up, and I am not willing to pay that much. Luckily it's a pretty straight forward design, so I should be able to do it without much difficulty. Huzza for making my own patterns!

Because of circumstances outside of my control I have not had a chance to work on anything for the last few days. I am hopefully going to work on the Vacuform table with Kevin tonight, and will post photos if we get anywhere with it, but we are gearing up at my office for a big conference this weekend, so my free time will be almost zero until next wednesday. After that though, EVERY KIND OF COSPLAY.
