I was going to buy the alumni membership at $ALMA_MATER gym on Saturday, but I didn't have an alumni card and I was wrong about being able to get them at the library. Can only get them at the alumni center, which is only open during business hours. So I went to work early today in order to come home early. But it didn't work out so well, since I went to the train station right at the beginning of the only 20 minute lapse in service they have during rush hour. Otherwise, it's trains every 2-8 minutes at that station. I should still be able to leave early enough to get to the alumni house before close of business.

WINGS NIGHT. AND CHESS CLUB. I think what I'll do is chess club, then lift, then do wings. Or maybe lift, then chess, then wings. Hmm. I might not actually have time for all three. Chess is 6-7:30, I said I'd be at wings at 8:30. Well, we'll figure it out. The plan is squat, bench press, deadlift. Pretty simple. Next workout should be squat, overhead press, power clean, provided I trust myself to remember the last well enough to perform it.

I watched Ogniem i Mieczem over the last two nights. It's a fun and fairly accurate depiction of some crap between Poland and Ukraine in like 1647, apparently far more even-handed than the novel it is based on (which I haven't read). It makes me want to overthrow the Polish nobles ruling my land. I'm planning on talking to a Cossack (from Zaporozhe!) about it tonight at Wings Night. There will be great justice.

So I'm trying the non-web interface here. The database is still balking at the idea of giving me any information. @#$@#. I have a 9-11 meeting and I wanted to get this out of the way this morning. Whatevs. ... Yep, it's not going. Did I really have anything else I wanted to get done today? I'm not sure if I can think of anything. Hm.

I've got to get out of here.
