khaoschilde, I thought of you the minute I saw this.

Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of breaking my leg. We had much discussion about it at school yesterday, with much amusement attached. I mean, it's funny now, even if it wasn't then.

It pisses me off (a lot) when I go to the gym to lift, only to have my workout interrupted by one the personal trainers trying to sell me a personal training package.

Especially when, about 30 seconds before, they walked by a very fit person doing an exercise very wrong. Hell, if they're as concerned about the health and well-being of the members like they're trying to convince me they are, they would've told the guy doing lunges that he was going to blow his knee out if he continued to do them and allowing his knee to go past his toe. In fact, I never see them working with the fit people. It's only the heavy, out of shape people I see them trying to sell their programs to.

I am firmly convinced that it's weight profiling. They look at me and see a fat person, someone who can't possibly know what they're doing. I told L that I was almost positive that if she and I were working side by side, her doing an exercise incorrectly, while I did it correctly, they wouldn't even bother to talk to her. They would, however, try to convince me to come in so they could "show me all I was missing by not having a trainer."

If you weren't able to catch Legally Blonde, The Musical on MTV last month, you've got a second chance.

MTV is rebroadcasting the show tonight at 7 pm. Definitely worth trying to catch. Especially if you're a fan of musicals. It's fun and clever and the songs are total earworms. It's definitely worth the time.

Apparently, it has taken 38 years (give or take) for me to find my political core/causes. But apparently now that I've found that side of myself, I'm constantly getting up on my soapbox. So....

*climbs up on soapbox*

Arizona, along with other states, is in the middle of a drought. Phoenix has been in a drought for over 15 years. Of course, you'd never know it from the lush green lawns and copious amounts of watering that happens. Phoenix is riddled with fountains, swimming pools and man-made lakes. The entire time that I've lived here, I've seen 2, count 'em, two PSAs reminding people that there's a drought and water should be conserved.

So how do I know there's a drought? Well, because I'm a science teacher and the state of Arizona is constantly sending us stuff on water conservation to teach to the kids.

Like Atlanta, it's really only a matter of time until Phoenix runs out of water. Most people here seem to think that since AZ currently has the rights to the Colorado River, we have nothing to worry about. It doesn't seem to occur to them that the river runs through other states and is influenced by conditions the state of AZ can't control.

There are so many ways that water can be conserved or reused and not a single one is in place in Phoenix. Or in most other places, for that matter.

I'm constantly amazed at the human capacity to destroy ourselves, one step at a time.
