I wish Buffy would really do this. And more post-apocalyptic soap opera names.

This was sent to me by an awesome friend of mine the other night, and I laughed so hard. Apparently it was posted on George Takei's Facebook page. I wish this would really happen. I despise Twilight. This has probably been around for a while, but I'm one of those people who's always like three years behind the meme scene, so it's new to me:

Who knew Sulu was a Buffy fan?

We have a few more soap opera titles for you, but some of them are really challenging! I still haven't found anything good for The Bold and the Beautiful. I tried The Old and the Putrefied, but that wasn't cutting the mustard. If you come up with any, please do share in the comments. Hmm... The Cold and the Miserable? Anyway:

• End Days of Our Lives
• Fighting Blight
• Rations
• One Life To Give
• The Young and the Restless Dead

I know the last one is a redo, but this was better than the previous version so I had to add it back in.

We tried goat's milk for the first time last night (I was deeply curious after reading about it in various books of mine, so we got some), and it was tasty! It's no wonder goat cheese tastes as distinctive as it does. The milk is creamy and very flavorful. I'd say it's more of a sipping milk than a gulping milk, though. It's got so much taste (and it's so crazy expensive) that you're better off savoring it slowly. Strangely, it's also a lot whiter in color than cow's milk. Side by side, cow's milk appears rather yellowish, like an old nightgown left in a drawer for too long and now covered in weird, inexplicable stains.

You're welcome for that fun comparison.

We went to the gym last night and I went through the first session of the Couch to 5K running plan while Patrick lifted weights and then ran a bit himself. Treadmills have really gotten a lot better since I was in college. Now they're all fancy, with fans you can turn on yourself and a way to immediately switch between different speeds instead of pressing and holding those little buttons. Yay, innovation!

I was really glad that it didn't hurt my lungs. They've been kind of gurgly lately with all the pollen swishing around in the air, and usually when I'm having breathing issues it really kills them to do a bunch of exertion, but the first session of that program is so easy on your body that my lungs (and legs) were fine.

This is all part of our grand push to get ready for November. We're planning to go out hunting with the family this fall, and I'll be damned if I'm going to suffer up and down mountains when I have months to get ready for it. So it's the gym and then nice long hikes on the weekends for us. Hopefully this will have the pleasant side effect of weight loss, but we shall see. At any rate, I'm determined to not be a miserable sack of pain when hunting, and this plan should help with that. I might not be able to exactly replicate dragging a deer carcass through forest snow, but I can at least improve my cardiovascular fitness beforehand.

Mind you, that won't take much. I currently have about as much endurance as your average sloth.

Yep. That's me.
