Searching for socks...

Last night was another night of discoveries.

My affinity for procrastination is ascending to a new extreme... i have three papers due this week. Two of them i've known about since June. Yet, somehow i'll still find other things to do.

Like blogging. Meh.

Perhaps that explains why i blog while i'm at work? ;^)

I also discovered that i need to do a better job buying socks. I have some awesome fitting socks from way back that seem indestructible. Seriously, they are seven years old and still have no holes... or any indication that holes are on the way. Hell, the ex bought me socks three years ago as a stocking stuffer and they have all since been thrown out. Holes in the heel and ball areas. Not comfortable.

So, i bought a package of socks at Target... but they move all over the place when i run and tend to bunch up in my shoes. Not comfortable.

Those, i was wearing last night for my workout. Nothing quite like having to stop the treadmill five times to rearrange your socks. Meh.

So, why don't i run out and buy more of these wonderful socks i'm wearing today? To be honest, i really don't remember where i bought them. Or what brand they are. Or anything about them. They really don't have any identifiable markings... other than green thread sewing the toe shut and grey patches under the balls and heel areas.

Maybe that's enough. The socks i bought last month have red thread... but can a person discern that through the packaging?

Finally, i discovered that Tuesday night is the night a lot of pretty girls on campus workout. I have a buddy who told me that working out around hot women is a bad thing... and results in a lousy workout for him.

For me, it gives me an energy boost... a desire to show off (now that i can), and i don't consider it a distraction like he does. If anything it is a pleasant diversion between sets. =^)

At least i remembered to take my nano to my cardio workout last night. The previous night, i discovered the hard way that my iPod battery isn't quite enough to get through an eight hour work day and then an hour or two at the gym. I suppose that's fair though... i got my iPod before they were cool, so it's getting pretty old.

And it does get used every day.

Anyway, my fifteen is over... time to get back to work!
