Biblical on yo ass

Heh. Always wanted to use that phrase, although I fear that in this case, it's not really accurate. Anyhow, here goes..

An the time come to go home from his place of work, Pat did step away from his work computer, turning off the LCD. His backpack with books he strapped around himself, and in his hand, there was held a CD player. The door to his office closed with his own hands, he placed the earphones over his ears, pressed play, and then adjusted the volume to his liking. Ahh, the joy of Oingo Boingo in his ears! He then did lock the cd player to prevent accidental button pressing, and walked out of his building. In the usual way, he ran home, taking the fun route down Westminster street (for he liked both the name and the beauty of the route). Finally at home, he showered, stuffed a change of clothing and a Slim-Fast into his bag, and briefly played on the computer, and then to his car he went. Yea! The car sat as it did yesterday, a humble servant to his needs. He took more garbage from the rear to the trash can, having continually been making lazy progress by moving a handful most times he used his car, and then placed himself and the bag in it. He then drove to the park near his future home, and parked, and with his bag, began to run the circle. There were a great number of people out, walking, running, riding bikes, with dogs, friends, and children in strollers. He stopped for a time at a lake down some stairs, and read a book he brought whilst drinking the SlimFast and getting some sun. Eventually, he felt like reading no longer, and went back up and continued the trail. Making it back to the top, he reached his car, and put the bag back inside. He then ran back around the trail twice, enjoying the scenery and the activity, and finally returned to his car. Fetching the Perl DBI book again, he continued to read for a bit, allowing his legs to rest. He looked down at them, and thought "Alas! I am such a wimp to be so tired from that jaunt". Finally, he got up, ran around the area a bit more, remembering the sad events that had transpired almost a week before there, and then returned to his car. He removed his shirt, which by then was very moist, and placed upon himself, after wiping off with the old, the fresh garment he had brought, applying new deodorant. He thought for a moment, and decided to seek the soap of the ancients. Starting the car, he took the .. oh, bleh, this style is really starting to get old.

Anyhow, I really like Lava brand liquid soap. It's strong stuff, and has a nice gritty feel on the skin. There are really only two supermarkets in town, Giant Eagle and StopNSave, with Giant Eagle being much more dominant. The closest StopNSave to Squirrel Hill/Shadyside closed because of some kind of earthquake damage, and Giant Eagle doesn't carry the liquid form of Lava soap. So, I drove back out to Timbuktu (McKnight road, near where my new landlord's dental practice is), and went to the StopNSave there. I hate driving, and especially hate driving long distances (I get bored, and traffic jams frustrate the foo out of me), so I bought 5 containers of the stuff (that's a lot of lava soap). I was going to pick up some food there too, and was wandering down the isles, but nothing really struck me as yummy -- all I got was grape juice. I no longer consider myself a vegitarian, but somehow the meat didn't seem all that appealing to me, so maybe I'll remain effectively so just out of habit and changed signals from what my body tells me. I know that at least Chicken no longer has any appeal to me, Pork never did, and Ham/Bacon/etc I always found disgusting (they have a nasty taste). I haven't tried Beef again yet, and maybe I'll be able to get back into steaks and hamburgers, but I really don't know, and probably won't until I sit down in front of one and try eating it. I've somehow gotten a dislike of the taste of chicken through my eating some the other day. *shrug*

My legs are pretty sore, but overall I think yesterday was worthwhile. I'm going to need to fix my bike soon though .. well, have it fixed. Anyhow, here are some things I'm happy about with my life.
