Be flexible when the boat comes in

In my continuing efforts to achieve My Perfect Squat, I have: More hip-opening exercises! I started incorporating these movements yesterday with the exception of Super Frog, which I can't due to lack of weight plates at home. Those first ones, in the runner's lunge? Those are intense. I can't get even close to having my elbows on the ground. Yet.

Even though I have a short day at the office today, I still felt like this about coming to work.



The faculty administrators are taking the staff (i.e. those of us without tenured teaching positions) out for drinks at 3:00. FUCK YEAH.



For dinner I shall attempt dining at a restaurant for the first time since New Year's Day. We're headed to the Burger Stand because I figure a Kobe Beef Burger on a bed of greens should be marginally okay. Just no salad dressings (even their oil & vinegar is made with soybean oil) or fries (unless their duck fat fries are 100% duck fat, no canola, etc.).

And tomorrow: VACATION DAY!

Topping Friday's agenda is packing away my winter clothes finally. It's unbelievable that it was necessary to keep my warm clothes out for this long. Granted, I haven't been layering, but still. Sheesh.

Seasoned iPod users: Is there a way to shuffle a playlist on an iPod classic? I can only get songs to play in the order I added them to the playlist--which means albums are always clumped together. Not optimal for a playlist, IMO. Is there any way to mix them up without dragging everything around by hand?

My iPod is from, like, 2005, so I think I have an iPod classic too.

On the very first screen, go to settings. Third down is shuffle, go to that and then click the center button: it will give you the options of songs, albums, or off. Select songs. Then when you go back to your playlist, it will shuffle it.

I love that feature. To the point where I have a playlist for cycling (yeah, I listen to headphones while riding) and I 90% of the time I'm listening to that playlist on shuffle.

My antique iPod is finally dying. It freezes up without warning, and sometimes has to be reset several times before it will play again. BUUUUT I have this lovely new job now. So. Probably within the next few months...we'll see.
