Hit me

Another new icon! I'm having much fun with new icons.

One more hour and I'm out of here until Monday. Our chair deserves some sort of Gold Star of Awesomeness for letting us shut down the office at noon today.

Roxxor!

Last night was another boxing session, which means my hands are kinda wobbly and sore today. But no sprains! Why yes, with the proper motivation, I can be a quick study. I bruised my right hand, though, between the pinky and ring fingers. A pretty common complaint, I hear. I had a lot more fun this time, since we focused on (relatively) light punching on the bag as a workout rather than striking the bag with large amounts of force. I am very bad at incorporating my hips (and lower body in general) into my punches. I need to work on that.

Someday I'll be good enough to spar with mckitterick and though I will so come out for the worse in that particular exchange, it will be fucking epic. I am considering selling tickets.

I'm also considering adding "fucking epic" as a tag, but I'm afraid it would be horribly under- or over-used to the point of uselessness.

I've been twisting, then compacting aluminum cans with my hands, and I could swear my finger and hand strength has improved. I don't know, however, if I am ready to punch things. I know I want to punch things, but that has always been true.

Hooray for no sprains!

If you ever want to try out our heavy bag, lemme know and we can set up a time for you to come over.

Somebody will have to teach me how to get my thumb to agree with making a fist. It doesn't like it. I've got all kinds of hypermobility in my hands, but I think that's more of a hindrance than a help. As usual, I make room for the possibility that I am wrong.

Hey, here's a steak icon! kuizen found it.

mckitterick isn't the best at explaining things from a proprioception standpoint, but he is very good at showing by example, and often calls out "watch your fists!" and stuff like that, so that's good.

Mmmm. Steak!
