An email sent this morning from KU said "The SUA Carnival scheduled for this Saturday has been postponed due to weather and safety concerns." I don't have a window in my office, so I wondered what I was missing. Isolated thunderstorms tonight when I'm driving to and from KC. Awesome.

[livejournal.com profile] msmitti and I got to see Iron Sky on a theater screen in Independence last night. The movie was good! A lot better than I expected it to be. I went into it thinking it was going to be just a spoof film, but it had a lot of good social commentary and some decent (if predictable) character development. Of course there was a big contingent of the KC SF folks there, which was good and bad. Good because most of them are decent folks, but bad because a few of them aren't. And of course, one of the non-decent types (notoriously non-decent, with whom I've had run-ins before) sat behind me and made stupid, loud comments through a lot of the movie. I finally turned around and snapped at him "This is not MST3K. Shut your fucking pie hole." There wasn't a peep out of him the rest of the film. I should have done it earlier.

Got to bed by 10:30pm, but for some reason I couldn't fall asleep until after 11. Then I woke up at 4:30 and didn't really fall back asleep, so I went ahead and got up at 5:15 to go to CrossFit. So frustrating. I'm worried about making the drive to KC tonight for a party. The possibility of thunderstorms is making the whole excursion even more appealing.

CrossFit this morning was tough. It's always tough, but there was no skill work this morning (skill work is my favorite), and instead we did this WOD for time:

3x
400m run
21 kettlebell swings
12 pullups

I did it in sixteen minutes. I finished last, but I finished!

Oh, we also did the 400m run with a dumbbell for warm-up. So I ran that fucking 400m four times. Not fun.

Have I mentioned that three weeks of CrossFit and strict Whole30 eating have resulted in not a single inch or pound lost? So that's encouraging. There's nothing like positive results to encourage good habits.

I'm grumpy. I need a nap.
