Woohoo! Habibi just called to tell me that 24 hour fitness has a special ending tonight. [I had reminded him to check about me joining on to his family's plan before he left.] Because of this special I get to join his family plan for some ridiculously small joining fee and a monthly fee that has ended up being $3 cheaper then what I would have paid for a single location membership at the Y downtown. With his family membership I can go to any 24 hour fitness, which means I should have access to tons of great step classes or whatever else seems to float my boat. [C, maybe i'll try kick boxing] I might even sneak in and use the weights which I actually secretly like as long as I don't have any macho crap going on around me telling me to push harder and that surely I can do another set, in a condescending tone. I HATE that FUCKING SHIT! ooo, not going to walk down tirade lane.

Habibi and I went to Hippie Hollow in Austin on Sunday. That lake is just gorgeous. The water is Caribbean Blue surrounded by amazing natural cliffs and limestone shelves. Oh yeah, covered in licentious looking naked people. No not really, there were some nude people, but most were bathing suit clad.

Older wealthy gay men seemed to anchor there boats a bit off the shore, this one guy paddled over on his silver floaty raft and offered a beer to a rather striking looking college kid, they chit chatted then the older guy paddled back out to his boat. About 30 minutes later I saw the college kid dive off one of the cliffs and swim over to the boat. They chit chatted on the deck for all of 30 seconds, then went below deck. huh-hum. I kid you not that boat was a rockin'! I was laughing my ass off. They must have not been very creative cause after about 5 minutes the boat stopped rocking. A short while later they appeared back on deck the kid swam back to shore, and the older guy proceeded to lay on top of the cabin and bask in the sun. It was kinda' like dinner theater, but we weren't eating dinner.
