The trick, if you're interested, is cushions. Have enough cushions you could lose a pet or small child. If I can still see your couch you're not trying hard enough. Open

The web is dead, what's next?
Long live the web. If Apple strangled it, it's the tech bros finally put it out of its misery.

I signed up for Anytime again. I love my old gym but it's a huge pain how early they close on weekends; I'm just not a morning person. I am, however, an 8pm person. (Also I have DOMS.)
