Saturday was a busy day!

At 11 I had a physical evaluation from the physical trainers.

They checked how much oxygen I consumed per breath, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, basal metabolism, strength tests, lifestyle, height, weight, diameter of various body parts and on and on, even how far I can stretch my fingers below my feet while sitting with my legs stretched out in front of me.

Then they plugged all those numbers into the computer and it boiled all those numbers down into one single number: 23. That represents my body's biological age! Apparently I can get it down to 18 with some adjustments to my lifestyle.

Then at 3 I went down to Foley Square and participated in the No Pants Subway Ride www.improveverywhere.com/2008/...s-2k8/ and met some very cool people. We all took our pants off and rode around on the subway, pretending we didn't know each other. Whenever anyone asked what was going on, we'd all say "I forgot my pants." Then if they'd say "What about all those other people? Did they forget their pants, too?" we'd say "I don't know those people. I guess so. You have to ask them." One guy timidly asked me "are all those people Scientologists?"


I had planned to hit a House party that night, but met some new pantsless friends who dragged me (now pantsful) to:

"Screen Test", an avant-garde performance piece set in a post-apocalyptic NYC starring Theo Kogan (from Lunachicks) and the Skyscrapers. Here's a video montage www.youtube.com/watch and its MySpace page: www.myspace.com/thescreentest An amazing, amazing piece of art. I don't know what the hell was going on, but I don't think you were supposed to, completely.

And, sadly, my expensive-assed phone was stolen at that theater. I guess I left it on my seat and when I went back in a heartbeat, it was scooped up and *gone*. I'm getting a new one today.
