Secretions and Other Things To Master

I either know this endocrine stuff reasonably well or I'm cocky and doomed to fail. Either way I'm taking a break and then reviewing some more.

School is weird this semester as we're more focused on clinic than the class room. Plus everything is building on last semester so I don't have that "WTF?" panic when anything vague medical/technical is referenced. I have high hopes to doing well this semester. That said I totally need to be better about studying. Discipline isn't my strong suit.

Speaking of discipline, I'm getting serious about getting in shape (again). I'm taking it one day at a time but I'm frankly tired of how tired the extra weight makes me. It's so easy to eat well but so challenging to actually do it. Weird, but true.

Not much else going on - Mr Bear leaves for Boston this afternoon. I wish he didn't have to travel so much but he'll be home Friday morning (and to the house sometime Friday night).

I ordered new Chucks to replace my beat down, hole-y ones. I had a moment of sadness when I thought they no longer carried them, but they do - they're just way down on the catalog. I was going to buy some fun T shirts (like I need more) but I can't bring myself to pay $20 for a T shirt after shipping.

Ok, time to get back to work.

Erotic Economics

Since The Black Party is so expensive and I don't feel like thinking so hard about what to wear I'm going to sate my desire for eroticized violence at Susan Sontag's "A Parsifal" at PS 122 instead. I'm going tomorrow night and the tickets was $3 so I can do $97 more of fun stuff after this.

Oh yeah - Susan Moribito is going to be DJing the Pier Dance at Pride. She rocks. :-)

Oddly, I don't know anyone personally who has ever been to The Black Party (Mr Bear and his date never made it - don't get me started) but everyone's second hand information is it's heavier on sex/play than it is on dancing. If that's true it's not really for me anyway, but I wish I had gone when I first thought of it. But then, I know it probably would have been trouble and a box or two of RID if I had.

I'm home early form class since we only had to stay and take the test. It was pretty short and I think I did OK.

Time for the treadmill.

Being able to hold my tongue when "it's just dancing muscle twinks" is given as a reason not to go someplace
