I also hit the gym this evening. It’s murder when I haven’t been going, but so worth it.<\/p>\n

Free trials are over, now I must choose between gyms: <\/p>\n

On the way home, next to whole foods, monthly membership at the Y. Lousy elliptical cross trainers, $43 initial, $43\/month. full access. Has a cruisy spot in the locker room, larger clientele base, more crowding of the machines, eliptical trainers excepted it has better equipment. It’s close enough I might go some sundays.<\/p>\n

The other gym is downtown, maybe a 5-10 minute walk from work. $65 for a 10-visit pass ($85 if I want the option of using the pool as well, I don’t really, and crazy for monthly access unless I sign up for a year) Smaller, lower ceilings, less crowding of equipment due to much smaller clientele. Fabulous 27-31 floor views (including the city of chicago’s green roof), older\/richer\/less shapely clientele, decidedly not cruisy layout of the lockerroom. Not-lousy elliptical cross trainers (I’ve had good ones at the mpls Y, the berkeley Y, and the umn rec center, though the lousy ones at the rec center outnumber the good ones, and there are always lousy ones available, but not always good ones). I would never go on sundays. <\/p>\n

If it weren’t for my frequent out of town-ness, I’d lean towards the first one, based largely on the likelihood of sunday workouts, but my likely spotty use is making the second sound like a deal. <\/p>\n

Events I’m definitely doing this weekend: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. gymnastics saturday afternoon\n
  2. pre-pride-parade powwow at chili mac w\/ coworkers on sunday\n
  3. Dropping by ‘s house’s party at some point on sunday.\n
  4. pack for dc trip on monday. Early<\/i> monday.<\/ol>\n

    Combining 2 & 3 may require a little juggling, but I’m up to it.
    \nEvents I’m considering doing this weekend:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Watching another theater movie from my little list:\n
        \n
      • Enron: the smartest guys in the room<\/strike>\n
      • Howl’s moving castle\n
      • Madagascar\n
      • Batman Begins\n
      • hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy.<\/ul>\n

        Anyone wanting to join me for one of those is welcome. <\/p>\n

      • Going to the chicago gay men’s chorus concert saturday evening. I don’t think I’ll go alone. That’s a little too “alone in a crowd” for me. Though I have enjoyed the shows when I went alone, so maybe I will go.\n
      • hitting Alice & Friends Cafe. (Mock meat chinese features prominently in their menu, I hear. I want to try it).\n
      • Buying the D&D 3.5 player’s handbook. C’mon, I’ve done without a player’s handbook for over a year at this point. I’ve proven that I can make it, but I hate having to borrow other people’s books while playing.<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
