My friend Alex opened his own acupuncture practice in Vero. It's called 5 Seasons Acupuncture, located at 1928 14th Avenue, (772) 539-0240. I went in to check out the place and it was a slow day, so he offered to put some needles in me. I've never been acupunctured before. It was a little weird. I couldn't even feel the one on the top of my head, but the other ones all felt a little different. Going in, it doesn't hurt but it does feel strange. My left side felt like my right side which apparently means I'm in balance or something.
After you get the solid metal pins put in you (you know I hate needles), you lay there for a while and relax. I felt all kinds of different sensations all over my body, not just where the pins were. You should check it out if you're interested. If in Vero, go see Alex.

FSU Triathlon Sponsorship
If you didn't already know, I'm the new treasurer for the FSU triathlon club. I want to get some sponsors. I'm thinking of asking: Budweiser (PBR as a fallback), GU, Oakley, Moe's, Sunshine Cycles, Timex, Publix. Any other ideas?
We're going to put our sponsors' logos on our uniforms which we'll be wearing for about 15 races this year. We're hosting 2 races and we can put sponsor stuff in the packets and hang banners with their logos. We can link to them on our website. I don't know what else the team can offer the sponsors (except lots of business for the local bike shop). PLEASE let me know if you have any ideas.

Goal Setting
They say that if your goals are specific, attainable but challenging, and written down, then you'll be more likely to achieve them. I'm not sure why the written part matters...maybe it's to keep you reminded of the goal and/or make it tangible. Anyway, here are some of my physical goals for 2008:
Be able to:
Swim 2.4 miles nonstop (preferably not in a pool!)
Bike 112 miles nonstop
Run 26.2 miles nonstop (preferably at a race)
Get flexible again...enough to touch my head to my knees when I "hang it down" and both my knees and head to the ground while doing the quad stretch.
I think these goals meet the above criteria. Let's see if it happens.

The Earth Machine
Today I went to a sale of the Earth Machine in the mall parking lot. They had a semi trailer full of these things. The sale was from 8am-5pm. I got there around 7:20 upon recommendation from veterans of this sale. There is a huge line that forms.
Why so many people? Maybe it's because Tallahassee only has one of these sales per year. I think it's because these Earth Machines are being sold for $30 when their market value is about $100.

Black Light on that Money
I had my black light on last night and saw something weird on a $20 bill. I looked closer and the strip that's in the middle that says USA TWENTY glows under a black light! It's green! I wondered if the other strips glowed. Of course, I had to find out. The 10 is orange and the 5 is blue!
Tonight I traded a couple bills for a 50 and it's yellow! I wonder what color the 100 is. 3 cool points to the first person to post what color the strip in the $100 bill glows under a black light.

Some Serious Snoozing
Normally, I can tell at which point in the semester I am by how many times I hit the snooze button. At the beginning of the semester, I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed when the alarm goes off (except for mornings after special nights). As the semester wears on, I start to hit the snooze more times and more frequently. Near the end of the semester, it's almost impossible to make myself get up.
This semester was a little easier to ditch the snooze problem. One main factor was probably that my earliest classes were at 12:30 or 2:30 (10am on Friday). I love being able to sleep past noon on a school day without ditching class.
Over the summer, I have an 11am start time. That shouldn't be too bad. I hope that the snoozing doesn't start until at least halfway through the summer.
