Morning Misc (excercise, mostly)

neadodsI thought I'd have something new to report when I saw the Washington Post had a front-page, above-the-fold article on Plan B, but it boils down to "Sales are up now that women can buy it for themselves: women's health groups thrilled, religious right groups appalled. End with quotes about how religious prejudice still makes it hard to buy over the counter." IOW, no new news.
The morning schedule these days, when I can peel myself out of bed, is up at 5am (gak!), feed cats, put on sneakers, get on treadmill. I'm using workout clothes for PJs. You can see why it's hard to be motivated in the mornings. However, the first of the custom-blend exercise music mixes was a resounding success. I've drafted up about 8 of them, all running approximately 26 minutes (because it's too early in the damned morning to spend half an hour!) with slightly slower songs at beginning and end as a warmup/cooldown.
Today's inaugural one was the one dubbed Dancing on the Treadmill I:
1 - C'est La Vie (B*Witched)
2 - I Don't Feel Like Dancin' (Scissor Sisters)
3 - Voodoo Child (Rogue Traders)
4 - I Want Candy (Bow Wow Wow) this version is particularly heavy on drums, which helps
5 - Cotton Eye Joe (Rednex)
6 - Midnight at the Lost and Found (Meat Loaf) you can get in some upper body if you clap over your head during the last part of the song
7 - Ticks (Brad Paisley)
25.7 minutes; if you walk with the beat, you'll put about 1.30 miles on the treadmill.
[Poll #1020649]
On the bento front, it becomes easier to throw one together as I fill the fridge with options. Today's is in the viva box (I'm almost becoming more fond of those than the thermos ones, although I'll be taking a thermos-style one to Shore Leave) and has cherries, rice pudding, two mini eclairs, two bonabel cheeses, and a half cup of seafood salad. There's a side dish container with some sweet potato chips in the bag as well; I wanted that separate so the chips didn't go in the fridge.
On the fannish front, look for me at Shore Leave tomorrow; I'll be helping with the masquerade and moderating the "Morality on Doctor Who" panel. I'll be the one in the New Who logo t-shirt during the day and the black "Bad Wolf" shirt at night.
On the crafting front, here's a video of how to weave in ends in knitting. Wow, that's so helpful! Sometimes even 1000 words aren't worth a video.
ETA: The ten words that should end Harry Potter *snicker*snort*
