Bebo and stealing music

First off, I am so damn tired from working out. Between yesterday with James, then buying the weights last night, then working out this morning and then going to the gym tonight - I am seriously tuckered out.

This evening, I was busy stealing Dj Fresh music from bebo after I saw Bad Company

was playing at Circa this friday in Toronto

His music is pretty awesome if you like that style, which I do

Unfortunately, he is not with them anymore.

I am fascinated with the amount of information people media sites make available to the flash debug log.

It makes downloading the music a snap. Then a little ffmpeg flv to mp3 conversion and I have a new playlist. Way faster then trying to limewire it.

Anyhow, I also found this ultra dramatic buffalo, ny video. Thought someone might enjoy it.

While I was tailing the flash debug log, I noticed that I left debugging of the flash storage for the restore backup button in the journal on, which slows typing down a bit in a big journal. I will fix that for the new site, which I promise is coming out soon.

Here is a screen capture of it, although you can't tell much about new functionality from the screen capture.

Heavy whipping cream 50 x 32

I knew that heavy whipping cream had a lot of calories but yesterday
evening I read the nutrition facts. 50 calories per serving sounded
reasonable till you realize that it has 32 servings per container.
Holy crap.

This explains ice cream's calorie count. The last time I went to
nutritionist a while back they suggested adding some igh calorie
snacks like ice cream to my diet.

Working out with James

I went to the gym with (e:james) today. It was fun to go with someone who seems really into it. I tried the free weights room for the first time. For some reason I just hadn't done it before. I feel like I would have no problem doing it by myself next time. Using the free weights feels different because you get more movement than the exact up/down, left/right motion that you get with the machines. I think I am going to buy some additional ones.

I wish Allentown Atheletix had the same stomach twist machine that they had at the BAC downtown. I am determined to have a ripped stomach for summer. If only I had some more danicnig opportunities I could make it happen faster.

I want to gain 10 more pounds so bad. It feels liek I am always saying that. I am hoping the addition of free weights and more food will help. This morning I made my protein smoothy with left over heavy whipping cream from last nights dessert (e:paul,47360) instead of milk for extra calories. It tasted so freakin good but then I was in a food coma for like an hour.

Update: I found someone with exactly the body I want, one that I think is attainable for my body type.

Peanut butter on wheat toast with apricot jam is a good start.

metalpeter writes at 06:55:25 01/12/09 - Comment #44386: In theory you should be able to lift more weight on a machine then with free weights. With a machine you are just using your muscles to push the weight and then let it back down. but if it comes down a bit to fast it just makes a big loud bang and people know you are using to much weight. But see with free weights you use more muscles. The term used to be stabalisers . There are muscles that say keep the bar bells in a bench press for example as opposed to a one using a bar from falling over. I wish I was better at explaining it

paul writes at 07:03:12 01/11/09 - Comment #44337: It was a whey protein and banana smoothy, lol. Normally I use almost milk as the base to mix into, but this time I did half almost milk, half heavy whipping cream. I just added the cream and peanut butter for extra calories.

I need to gain some more fat too. I have no fat reserves and all the olive oil and fish fat I eat does nothing to give me an body fat it seems. I just want some body fat to be warmer. The year before I had a little more fat on my body and was warmer in winter. Since working out I lost like all the of the minimal fat I had and I hate that.

james writes at 05:41:23 01/11/09 - Comment #44334: There are a few dozen exercises that work the same muscles that twisty machine does without the injury that machine usually causes. I could show you a couple next time.

And with calories, quality needs to be balanced with quantity. That extra saturated fat isn't as useful to building muscle as lean protein. Is whey protein a problem? If so :::link::: protein factory has pretty cheap egg white protein and rice protein. And I know how much you love rice. yum, yum.

Ditto. But I am lazy and have poor time management. :(

Human and Tortoise Strawberry Treats

Today, organic strawberries were on sale for $2.50/quart. They were pretty yummy.

I bought organic cream, raspberries and ghirardelli chocolate to go with it.

I whipped the cream with out new beaters, it felt like cheating because I have been using the old fashioned crank ones for years, till (e:lilho) insisted we get the electric ones during her visit. I added a little vanilla nd sugar. Then I sliced the berries and rubbed them in a little organic, evaporated cane sugar and hand grated the chocolate over the top.

Basra (e:paul,32584) got a treat out of it too. He loves the strawberry tops.

Speaking of treats for Basra, he got a new UV lamp today and also discovered humping things. I think its like a whole new world for him.

Possessed by the devil

I cut my beard and then tried to take a pic of my new facial hair.
Each pic came out crappy because of low light. The iPhone is pretty
terrible with low light conditions. This one was especially scary
because it only blurred my eyes.

Organic grass fed beef sirloin

How is the coop going to compete with this? Wegmans now has organic grass fed beef at such a great price, and it looks really good too.

These two cost $7.60. Considering that each one is enough beef for a
whole meal, that is a pretty good deal.

It's also super tender.

Applework smoked bacon chocolate

The shedding tool?

We just saw this by the cash register at pet supplies plus on
Deleware. Each person that walks by does a double take. What can it
possibly do for $50. Does it come with "happy ending" LOL. Somehow I
think I might have written about this before.

Winter In Buffalo Pics

As a side note, I also updated the pics from the trip to the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens (e:paul,47265)

Why do people always use the snow on our porch as an ashtray. I can't stand smokers of filtered cigarettes that leave their butts everywhere. They do not biodegrade. I am fine with rollies being left around, but the plastic filter thing is redic. The lack of responsibility smokers take in their trash disposal is astounding. (E:iriesara) being an exception as I saw her storing her butts in her purse.

I walk to work every day and the path is usually covered in snow. Depending on how fresh it is, it is in many differnt states.

Clean Snow

It was so cold that day, the door got ice in the hinge which froze it open.

Dirty Snow
Two days later, it started raining a bit and warmed up. You guys probably remember seeing it was only like a week ago. This made for messing sloshy, muddy, scum snow.

Korean vegtable?

We ate at Korea house the other day and had the Korean barbaque. It's so awesome, you sit around the grill while the matronly Korean lady cooks your food. Then you get letuce leaves and rice along with a
multitude of side dishes from kimchee to radish and fish cakes. You take all the side dish things and put them on the rice with the meat and then wrap it all in a lettuce leaf, kind of like a lettuce taco.

God, it is so tasty. Anyhow, this time they had something she refered to ask Kohare. At least I think so. It was a delicious vegtables that resembled some sort of plant stem. Does anyone know about it? I want more.
