So my workout schedule is still working for me. The weights are beginning to be much easier to lift. The ones I could only lift ten at a time before I can now lift 25 times so I guess it is time to start changing the amount of weight. Well, actually I would rather wait one more week till I do it, because I don't want to risk hurting myself as I am in no rush.
I only work out like 20 minutes a day. That seems ok. It makes me feel happy too afterwards. A similar feeling to smoking a cigarette. It makes me wonder if half of the draw of a cigarrette is that it makes your body feel like you did something.
I still have a long way to go before I am the size I want to be - like the guy in that yoga book [inlink]paul,3941[/inlink], but here is a preview of my arms.
I am not stopping till I look like these guys.
UPDATE: We discussed this painting in (e:paul,46890) where (e:james) suggested that it is by William-Adolphe Bouguereau.

Google MapsCategory: maps
I was watching a couple minutes of the Geraldo show about sex offenders that escaped from New Orleans. I noticed that in the computer screen at the police station they were using google maps to track them.

Jimmy MacsCategory: food
As part of my gain weight plan, I went to Jimmy Mac's with Katie tonight to eat one of their death inducing bacon cheeseburgers. Once again we were the only diners in the place. I don't understand why this place is failing. Now I know that it is a Monday night but it seems really strange. Katie thinks that it is because it looks too fancy on the outside. (e:terry) says it is because their sandwiches cost $1.00 too much at $8.50. I honetsly thing that the price is not bad considering that it is a 3/4lb burger and you get an insane amount of giant fries and a pickle. For that much food you would spend the same at Wendy's.
Katie seemed pretty excited that (e:matthew) has awaiting list of 12 kids for the day care center they plan on opening.

Interview ProcessCategory: work
So I had the interview at Roswell today. I think it was very successful. The job sounds fun and challenging in a good way and it's all about reducing paper in the workflow, which I am all about. I am so into web application development. Especially since AJAX makes the web so much more fun to work with.
I really think that soon, most applications will move toward web-based solutions. It would be cool to make a web based operating system. Maybe next year, haha. Wednesday night I am teaching xmlHTTP with Sherbert 1.0. I have a couple fixes to make before class but I think it will be a great introduction to AJAX.
One of the guys who interviewed me and who would also be my prospective boss is the husband of a childhood friend who I haven't talked to in a long time. So even if I don't get the job I at least get a chance to reconnect with an old friend, who I haven't seen in about four years. Guess who it is (e:iriesara), it's Chrissy Galla.
On another note, (e:lilho) cut my hair last night for the interview and about an hour before it was about to begin she calls to ask what I am wearing. I told her brown pin stripe pants, a sweater and a suit and she said, "You are never going to get the job without a suit." Nothing like getting totally stressed o ut just before you leave. I think it worked out ok without one. Maybe with this job I could afford to finally buy a nice suit!

NOOO I am supposed to be the stronger brother!!! (and trust me I used the term strong loosely) but my weakness was always stronger than you at least!
Hey Paul, if it's easy to do 25 reps with the weights your currently using, and you're not ready to go to a higher weight, try doing your reps real slowly - that will increase the strength of your core muscles before you move on to the heavier weight. You're probably ready to increase a few pounds though.
