This weekend has been good to me. I started early Saturday morning, waking Randall to go excercise with me. We could both use a lot more of that. Especially me; I'm extraordinarily out of shape. He reluctantly agreed and dragged himself out of bed to join me in biking. Actually, he ran, I biked. It was pretty good until about 30 minutes in. We hit some treacherous hills, and my legs turned to jelly. I got off and walked the bike for a while, and eventually Randall took it to ride. As we're going up one of the steepest hills in the neighborhood, my calves started to cramp. It was excruciating. We finally made it home, hot, sweaty, exhausted. Took a cool bath and felt much better. Even now though, my calves are killing me!
Later in the afternoon, I spent a couple of hours watching a live stream of a Smashing Pumpkins concert. Hooked the ol' laptop up to the stereo, grabbed a box of Honeycombs, and settled in to have my mind blown. I was amazed by how great the band still sounds, and the new songs are even better than I expected them to be. Billy's voice was strong and much better than I've heard in a long time. I recorded the stream, and if you're interested, you can download it here. I can't wait till they finally make their way here, so I can see them for the first time in ten years! I'm as excited about them now as I was then. Being able to watch them live in my bedroom was quite an experience. I do love technology.
The rest of the weekend was spent watching several episodes of 21 Jump St. with Randall and working on my new website. It's been pretty relaxing, one of the better weekends I've had in a while. They're always over way too soon, though. One more month, and I'm finally up for some vacation time at work! I'm as excited for those five days off as I am for that Smashing Pumpkins show. (well, almost).
