Three Things


1. I threw my back out this morning in an attempt to mimic the Fartlek training I had started at the hotel fitness room in Austin now that I'm back in my gym at home. Not all treadmills are alike, I'll say that much. While naturally inclined to enjoy anything with the word "fart" in it, I also think this interval-style training will be good for building my endurance, should I participate in a long race again. I've been setting my own paces, just to get a feel for what I can do. Looks like I found one thing I can't do...

2. Colombian TV show "Yo Soy Betty la Fea" is being repackaged for the American set as Ugly Betty and will air on NBC this Thursday. I've already decided to stay home and watch it, and in a larger leap of tough decision-making, I may also change my Halloween costume from school girl to the brace-faced Betty. Hey, gotta use 'em while I got 'em!

3. I really love Tetris, so I really love this video.



Comments:
why any coach would ever call this exercise by its proper name to children will always escape me. And all this time I just thought they called them fartlicks because they were a real pain in the ass and those fartlickers that couldn't get to practice on time made us do them for an extra five minutes. Fartlickers.

How does one actually go about licking a fart? Is it possible? And if it is possible, who figured this out and why? Do they continue to lick farts? Does it aid in causing lung cancer? Do they lick their own farts or others? Is fartlicking a result of brown-nosing? Or does it accompany ass-kissing? Maybe it is another term for carpet licker, but for guys? Great, now I won't sleep tonight trying to figure out the answers to the questions.

Can I just say what a great boon to my self-esteem Ugly Betty is? I mean, the original Betty la Fea was slightly more convincing in her rocking of "la fea," but the Americanized version apparently embodies ugly via glasses and braces. The horror! Gouge out your eyes lest ye behold the tragic deformities caused by orthodontry and optometry!

Fuck you, ABC.

Hugs,
Joie
