Wet

[legalmoose]

As the weather gets warmer I'm going to have to start wearing one shirt from the gym to work and then changing into a dress shirt because otherwise I'll be soaked by the time I get in. Ick.

Swam this morning, not quite 20 minutes, but it was a more intense workout than I've been doing. Warm up, 8x50 with 10-15 seconds in between, then 2x100 with 30 seconds rest, then some cool down. Actually, a lot of cool down, because I got done and it was like, "That's it?" Faster pace than usual, and more structure than usual. Felt good.

Into work early, since the workout took less time than expected. Happy hour this evening with the DC Triathlon club. Hopefully will see some of my buddy group there.

And, so we have something to do today:

Question of the day: Do you have any books that you read over and over and over again?

Triathlon happy hour? How festive! Yay for lightweights!

(we need to plan sometin for this w/e!)

Yup, there's a HH every month with these people. ;-) Gotta love a club that drinks together (as well as training together).

Soitenly. Dinner Saturday perhaps?

[ironmanjt.livejournal.com]

Saturday is certainly a possibility! I'm supposed to do dinner with pharmboi tomorrow who is visiting. :)

Where's HH tonight?

[legalmoose]

Coolness. Hope your dinner tomorrow happens.

HH is over on the Hill; I suspect someone in the club leadership lives over that way because our events are always on the Hill. ;-p

LOL at some obnoxiously overpriced straight club? Or at some dive of a straight bar?

Can I tag along if I promise to be good?

[ironmanjt.livejournal.com]

To dinner or HH? Do you know Matt?

[the-rich-life.livejournal.com]

Dinner on Saturday... although meeting another LJer would be fun. We're doing dinner Friday night with pinkfish.

Actually, can't do Saturday dinner, I forgot we have a b-day party for gregmce that evening. :-(

[ironmanjt.livejournal.com]

Oh :( Well maybe we can figure something else out.

Question of the day: Do you have any books that you read over and over and over again?

--War and Peace (yes, I've actually read it more than once)
--The Lord of the Rings trilogy
--The first three books in the Dune series
--The Exordium series by Sherwood Smith & Dave Trowbridge
--Anything by Tom Wolfe
--The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer
--The Gathering Storm by Winston Churchill

I'm sure there are others, but these are the ones that immediately spring to mind.

[ironmanjt.livejournal.com]

LOL, I've actually read it multiple times too - including in the original Russian/French.

[die7fox.livejournal.com]

YAY! I'm not alone, after all!

I envy you your command of the native tongue. I would love to learn Russian one day.

I actually had to write a term paper on it as an undergrad for linguistics seminar. "Tolstoy's use of Code-Switching in War and Peace."

SNOOZE

Yes.

[jeffla.livejournal.com]

Books are those cardboard thingies with all the paper inside, right?

[legalmoose]

Unless you're talking about an e-book, yes. :-p

[jeffla.livejournal.com]

I think I used to have some of those. Somewhere...

[geomikes.livejournal.com]

I've not only reread a book but a book series:
-Incarnations of Immortality series by Piers Anthony I've read at least 4 times
-The Time Quartet by Madeline L'Engle
-Jane Eyre
-The Starfarers, Metaphase, and Nautilis by Vonda McIntyre

and The Bible but it's been 10 years since I've done that and don't forsee it happening again.

Books I find myself recycling until the binding is worn out:

Drawing Blood - Poppy Z Brite

Lost Souls - Poppy Z Brite

Liquor - Poppy Z Brite

Daughter of the Drow, Tangled Webs, and Windwalker - Trilogy by Elaine Cunningham

Harry Potter and the... You Name It - The Divine Miz Rowling

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West - Gregory MaGuire

...

...

that's about it. since I've taken up knitting I don't read much.

Bad, I know.

But damn I'm gonna have the best purple chenille scarf on Urth. ::grin::

"Question of the day: Do you have any books that you read over and over and over again?"

Yes: A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny.

I re-read it every October... And though the chapters are the days of October, I usually finish it in two sittings. (I just can't drag it out over that much time!)

That's hott.
