ok...my roommate, peachy, just informed me that she'll be moving back to Cali at the end of april...and as much as we'll miss her, i've decided to get the ball rolling in finding a new roommate for the extra room. now, i'm not sure if taylor (the other roommate) will take peachy's room...but either way, it's $500 includes, heat and hot water...excludes, electric, internet and cable.
and also pater's apt, downstairs from us is also going to be up on the renting block by end of may. ok...so tell your friends, relatives, knife wielding strangers.

so we here at Bloggy McB reported you a story a couple months back regarding on of our columnists' extremely dangerous high cholesterol level. if you recall, his total cholesterol level was 298. according to the powers that be...a number above 200 is already high risk for all sorts of bad things that would take away from one's livelihood and be a very unpopular subject at family holiday dinners and at the racetrack. the level of LDL's (evil cholesterol) was at 207, where the magic number is 130 or less and the HDL's (somewhat amiable cholesterol) at 44. the HDL number is good b/c normal levels are above 40. triglycerides (fancy schmancy name for fat) was at 237 which is through the roof from the norm of 180.
changes were made, some drastic, others not so drastic. and after a nice little blood draw yesterday...the new numbers are as follows:
total cholesterol: 228 (HOLY FUCKING SHIT...MY CHOLESTEROL WENT DOWN!!!)
LDL: 144 (COME ON, THAT'S STILL REALLY, REALLY FUCKING GOOD)
HDL: 34 (OK, THAT'S NOT TOO BAD...JUST GOT TO HIT THE GYM EVEN MORE...EAT MORE FISH AND SHIT(no, not feces...shit as an expression))
triglycerides: 248 (WHAT THE FUCK!!! DOC THINKS IT'S SOMETHING TO DO WITH MY LIVER PRODUCING THE STUFF AND PART DIET...MAN, I HAVEN'T DRANK A BEER FOR 2 MOS, JUST SO I COULD GET THIS NUMBER DOWN!!!)
in summary, we are very pleased w/ the overall picture. i will be contacting the good folks at united healthcare to see if they will pay for a nutritionist, b/c i may need some outside guidance on this one. as for working out, i promised nancy a washboard stomach, so i will be going to the gym even more. and my doc is still going to ride me about the whole thing---she suggested i take something called CHOLEST-OFF (with a name this catchy and schnazy, it's got to work) i actually almost bought this stuff...i've been taking these garlic pills too, so maybe w/ their combined forces, they will be the Superfriends of my vascular system battling the evil Legion De Lipids (LDL--get it??), led by the evil general Cole L. Terrol (i can be just as witty and schnazy as those madison ave. types)
bloggy out.

i hate my dvd player. i have this stupid toshiba that keeps skipping the crap of every dvd i put in there. i tried cleaning the lens and everything!!! i'm gonna have to take this sucker apart to see what the deal is. nancy and i tried to watch se7en on saturday but the skipping was too annoying. we ended up watching in on cassie dee and it kinda cool...but not.
so i climbed again today...there is only one route left for me to finish!! i wish i had the time to enter that tournament this weekend. but mommy's b-day party did come first and i am taking photographs so i guess that comes first. was direct to this awesome climbing website 8a they have links to cool pics of my climbing instructor vadim, when i grow up i want to be just like him. i tried this new concoction to keep my hands drier...a mix of rubbing alcohol and climbing chalk...works like a dream. can't wait to finish the wall...apparently there are 2 more routes that will go up. but i'm gonna have to hit city climbers if i'm ever gonna get better.
wanted to play tennis today real bad...but after that workout today...i passed out and then had to wake up to the arduous task of doing 3 loads of laundry...and still have more! i want a maid...real bad.
how bad is joaquin phoenix in gladiator? it's the only reason i can't stand to watch it...the fight scenes are awesome...but diet River is just bad. it's on tv now and that's why i'm bothering to mention it.
oh..and i have to put up pics of jubei and duncs new hairdos...i'm not crazy about it, but everyone else is. and jubei seems to like it..he looks like a lab now.
