The few times I've been clubbing I only saw old chicks, also I went with friends that are girls... imdoinitwrong

Going with female friends can be a good thing if they're chill. Some of our female friends go out and look for girls and bring them to us. Then others are cock blocks and never get invited again. heh

Glad to hear you are bouncing back, Jacob. Unfortunately I'm in the opposite boat, yesterday's improvement was a plateau, still feel pretty crappy today.

Hope you feel better soon, Nate.

We went to our friends' place for some board games. We managed to get through two games before Libby decided it was time to go home.

Caught up on some chores, made dinner with my wife, and then rowed a half marathon on my Concept2.

Slept late until I started feeling almost like a living human being again, did a lot of cleaning up around the place, and made decent progress getting caught up on various projects for other people.

I cannot imagine what my lower back would feel like if I tried to do that.

Worked on my tenure and promotion portfolio. That was fucking exciting. Now drinking which is much better.

I am sorry - that is certainly no fun! Good luck! Will you find out in May/June of 2011 or 2012?

Have you received/tried your Concept2 yet? How are you liking it?

What the heck -- I didn't even click submit twice and I still get a double post?

I don't know what others are seeing when they mention double posts. I'm only seeing one of each message (using IE8 ).

This is the year of the double posts.

Yep, got my Concept2 rower about a month ago. I have been rowing every other day (when I am in town and not sick). I am (in theory) alternating between weightlifting at the gym and rowing at home although it doesn't always happen. Right now I am only rowing for 20 minutes each session (which is usually around 3300-3400m). My lower back gets pretty sore about the 10 minute mark. I am hoping that it will get better with practice.

It took me a while to build up, though the biggest problem for me was sitting on that seat for more than 30 minutes at a time.

Argh. Another double post. I give up. Sorry for the spam.

The only time I got a double post so far was when it seemed to stall for a bit after clicking submit, and I didn't immediately close the tab and open the thread again, but just let it go through. Might just be coincidence though, I dunno.

Because everyone edits them immediately.

Same here... and there seems to be a lot of stalling lately.

Because everyone edits them immediately.

Also because I've been trying to delete as many as I can.

And we're looking into the problem, there's no easy explanation that can be found, yet.

Because everyone edits them immediately.

And just for irony's sake my reply double-posted, despite only hitting reply once.

(and yes, it stalled when I hit the button)

I think this is double posting problem is related to the recent solar eclipse. My Mayan Ouija board told me so.

Shelly, have you tried laying on the floor face down and simultaneously raising your legs and upper body? That exercise with situps has helped my back a lot and helped me get back on the bike for long mile rides without the back ache.

Thanks Greg, I will add that to my long list of core exercises.

took down my christmas decorations while watching the CBC version of the winter classic broadcast. I need to subscribe to a canadian satellite broadcaster instead of directv, so I don't have to watch the terrible NBC broadcasts...

just blew the piss out of my 2 hour cmu interview (in a good way) -- they asked some pretty hard questions =/. hope i get in. as much as i would like to go back to mit, cmu has the oldest financial math phd program and the most recognized brand name on wall street and with investment banks.
