Physical Fitness

The weather the past two days has been rainy, so I've been using the treadmill on the first floor. Yesterday, I watched MNN. They played a series of short documentary bits about labor issues, like how a Food Bazaar in Brooklyn has unfair labor practices, and then some examples of how past picketing actions have worked out well, like at Zen Palate. It was ideal, because they had a lot of captioning in Spanish, and I find it entertaining and challenging to try to understand written Spanish. Today I watched El Gordo y la Flaca and Primer Impacto on Univision. Primer Impacto had a pretty good story about exorcism which I vaguely understood. The main story was also on religion, it was about a nude man who climbed up the outside of a large church and sort of hung out doing whatever up pretty high above this large decorative archway. They had shown a couple promos for this story during El Gordo y la Flaca, too - it was one of those "video bites" (?) where they keep showing you the same three seconds of footage over and over in the ad, and then once you're actually watching Primer Impacto, they keep repeating the loop more. In this case, it was grainy footage of the dude with his crotch blurred out. The shocking ending to his saga was that someone got up to the roof of the church and held down a big red banner or something to him, and he grabbed it, but slipped off or let go, and fell to the ground.

Anyways, exercising is pretty annoying.
