Of Bikes and Horribleness

Today's bike ride went much better than the last attempt.  By which I mean I actually made it all the way around the block.  Go me!  I went in the other direction this time, so the uphill part was both shorter and steeper.  I think that makes it easier.  I may have to work harder, but I don't have to work for as long.  Way better.  So I'll definitely try again tomorrow, and may even attempt to go slightly further.  We'll see.  Getting in shape is hard, but it'll definitely be nice to go on hikes and bike rides with Boyfriend once the weather really starts warming up.

For Christmas, Boyfriend got me tickets to a live production of Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog.  The show was last night, so we made an evening out of it with dinner and everything.  It was tons of fun.  The cast and crew incorporated a bunch of the commentary songs into the musical.  Between each of the three acts, they sang a few songs from Commentary! The Musical.  Even with the added songs, the entire show was barely longer than an hour.

They followed the official version pretty much line for line.  Only the choreography changed, as they had to adapt to being on stage.  And they added a song called "Nobody Wants to Be Moist".  That may have been in the commentary, I'll have to double-check, but I think it was original.  Also, the actor who played Captain Hammer looked a lot like a guy we went to college with, which made some scenes even funnier.

And now it's time to go clean the apartment, because we have a friend coming to stay with us on Tuesday and more showing up next weekend.  It's going to be all sorts of fun.
