Haruki Murakami's "The Strange Library" has to be the most beautiful and intriguing cover art for any book. It actually has a library card like a little pocket.

It's so fascinating and the illustrations inside are also quite whimsical.

Welp, my streak of never having a conversation at the gym is over. 6 months. :(

I was on a bike watching a soccer game.. earphones in, etc. This girl comes in.. she's probably 33-34 and there around the same hours I am, so it's usually just us for a bit. Anyway, she asks me if she can turn the fan off, then goes into some story and the whole time I was looking back n forth between her and the game XD - I'm not even entirely sure what she was talking about lol.

I just hate being bothered during workouts, idk why. Sorry, kid.

Here's me at the gym....

"Excuse me fitness instructor, but what workout device is this?"

"That's just a bench sir."

"Perfect." :eek:

Lol! Been there. When I first started, I went super late at night when nobody else was there so I didn't embarrass myself figuring out the machines.

Ah. Yes. But he's far more likely to get me with the pointy end of his flame-thrower. :p
Well... yes, of course. That's what a flamethrower is for. Dealing with matchmakers.

What, there's another use for it?

pet peeve #(i don't know because i have plenty of them): patient walks in 10 mins before closing.

i don't mind walk-ins, but for the love of chocolate, look at the time before you decide to come in w/o an appointment!!!!

p.s. if the parking lot has more than 5 cars (we have a small parking lot), chances are we are booked!

the end.

I would think that the man with the flamethrower would have very little use for all the matches those matchmakers are trying to make. I also think that the man too eager to use said flamethrower should be kept far away from other people and anything flammable.

You would be correct. I do in fact have very little use for matches. Or match makers. :p
