Work up a sweat!


Dear Meredith:
It's so easy being sedentary, especially given that we largely have desk jobs. So I try to look for workout inspiration where I can. iTrain has a whole bunch of downloadable mp3s and podcasts by celebrity trainers. You can even train "with" Olympic gold medal winner Natalie Coughlin. While the majority of them are for a fee, there are some free ones online you can check out.

Sparkly procrastination


Dear Meredith:
Sorry for the prolonged absence! This being-a-professor thing is stupid. In addition to teaching, I'm still expected to write papers? What? I don't understand how I'm supposed to have time for all of this, especially when I spend an inordinate amount of time playing the below-linked game. I think it's the gems. You know how anything related to jewelry transfixes me, even if it's fake.
