Frak, Frel and Other "F" Words

So, we're on to Book 2 of the series, "Caliban's War" in the show. Interesting that they're skipping straight to it though I wouldn't be terribly surprised if there's a timeskip. Exactly how long said skip might be though, we'll have to see...

Success. Although man, I'm paying for it now. Had a strong wind in my face for more than half the trip and I ended up so exhausted at the end that I walked the final mile in an attempt to avoid the wind issue and to loosen up the kinks in my leg muscles. Thoroughly hate that I live on the second floor right now because ... ugh ... that sucked.

Had to come in early today to cover for the morning tech support guy (really, I should just call him the tech support guy) who is off today since its Valentine's Day and his wife is going out of town later today. You know what? I fucking hate mornings. Getting up before 8 on Tuesday reminded me of this. Of course, on freaking Saturdays, I have zero problem waking up that early. Dammit.

Was mid-80s on Saturday, so I broke out the bike and tried a new route. Managed a whopping 44-miles. There's clearly been a big fitness improvement on my end because I didn't start to really suck wind until 2/3 of the way in, around mile 27 or 28. The next time I try this route (maybe this coming Sunday because it looks to be low-70s), I'm going to swing around Lake Overholser on the way back and try for 50-miles.

The hot chick at work was let go today. Dunno why - none of my business, really - and I feel really bad when my first thought is far too prurient to state aloud.

Finished it this afternoon and it immediately became my favorite book of The Expanse series.

Nope. Didn't watch even a moment of the Super Bowl this year. Instead, I finished Cibola Burn , the 4th book of The Expanse series. I'd started this book before - got about 1/4 of the way through it before something happened and I forgot about it for some reason - but once I got over that point this time, I sort of raced through it. Really enjoyed it, but I still think #3 ( Abaddon's Gate ) is my favorite of the series thus far. Have started #5, Nemesis Games this morning.
