Excited to listen to this.

So I took a bunch of body assessments…

And I failed miserably in all categories: posture, flexibility, and muscular strength. Looks like I have a lot of preparatory work to do before I can even think about lifting again.

So what should I shoot for my first Instagram pic?

One of the more well-informed and pragmatic takes on Kony 2012 I’ve read thus far. The most telling part:

“It would be great to get rid of Kony. He and his forces have left a path of abductions and mass murder in their wake for over 20 years. But let’s get two things straight: 1) Joseph Kony is not in Uganda and hasn’t been for 6 years; 2) the LRA now numbers at most in the hundreds, and while it is still causing immense suffering, it is unclear how millions of well-meaning but misinformed people are going to help deal with the more complicated reality,” Keating writes.

Highlights / observations from this week’s episode of Parks and Rec

Nick Offerman (@Nick_Offerman) wrote “Lucky,” and he knocked it out of the park — both as a screenwriter and as Ron Swanson.  Just in case, SPOILERS AHEAD.

  • “Oh… it says ‘Nympho’ on the butt in silver, sparkly letters. Nympho means you’re addicted to sex, and since it’s on the butt, there are other implications as well — so those are a maybe.”
  • Andy looks so weird with a full shave and his hair combed neatly.
  • Was Jerry getting high from licking envelopes?
  • The Tom and Ann relationship has become somewhat believable — and it’s finally breathed some life into her character.
  •  Ann’s Russian accent.
  • “Oh, she drowned immediately. It’s kind of a sad story.”
  • Chris vying for Andy’s professor’s affectations while Ron didn’t even try was a study in the differences between their characters.
  • Did Ron eat 3 steaks?
  • “I know what tiramisu is, and sheep don’t eat it.”
  • Aubrey Plaza was killing it more than usual with her facial expressions this episode.
  • “Well, it’s like I always say: it ain’t government work if you don’t have to do it twice.”
  • Fun Ben lives.
  • “Go buy yourself a Walkman. How much is a Walkman nowadays? Probably more than $20 — here’s $25.
  • “Yeah. Seems like we all had a phenomenal evening.”
  • “You know Ron, someone once told me that this is not how grown-ups deal with tough situations. Oh my god, Ron, it was you who told me that. That’s crazy.”
  • “I’m quite lonely.”
  • Tom and Ann went 48 hours without breaking up — until he gave her a present to celebrate.
