Monday Workout

Monday workout: 2 sets each chinups, dips, foot-elevated bodyweight rows, pushups, sliding hamstring curls and ab-wheel rollouts. On the second sets I managed to get an additional clean rep of chinups and dips, two additional pushups and three more ab-wheel rollouts. Not too shabby if I say so myself. It’s still my intention to gradually increase the volume and variety of exercises each week or so, this week I’m adding the hamstring curls to my workouts whether I ride the bike that day or not.

Went to the library and got the Babylon 5 season 3 DVD set. My method of watching DVDs is a bit convoluted: my main PC doesn’t have a DVD drive and my laptop’s screen is too small to see from my bed so I have to rip the DVDs onto the laptop HDD, then transfer the ripped files to the main PC over the gigabit ethernet dingle-dangle-dongle you see coming out of the right side of the laptop, then I can use VLC or whatnot to view the decrypted and ripped DVDs on the PC with its larger screen and better audio output.

Probably be easier to just spend $25 or so and get a DVD drive for the PC.

Anyway, I’ve been watching the series before bed again recently, sorta skipping some episodes, not necessarily paying close attention to others, and falling asleep through yet other episodes. I’ve already seen the series straight through on maybe four or five occasions by now so I pretty much know what’s gonna happen and when. At this point, the show is just very comfortable, something I can turn on and it requires just enough of my attention to distract my brain from itself but not so much attention so as to require a mental investment which would cause restlessness.
