today is me and b's official one year anniversary. so we're done with celebrating milestones until next june. we're going to go out to royal angkor tonight to celebrate. delicious. what a year it's been. it's been my favourite year so far.

i went to goodlife for my first workout last night! i really liked it. i went to the women only location inside loblaws. what a step up from the YMCA! it's so clean and warm, and comfortable. it feels less institutional. i did 20 minutes on the eliptical while listening to my ipod, and 23 minutes on the treadmill reading my book. i felt great afterwards! i'm pretty pumped. i'm going back tonight after work to have a consultation, that should be pretty helpful. besides the fact that it's a nice gym, i love that it's in loblaws. first of all, it's DIRECTLY on my way home from work (instead of a few blocks out of the way). secondly, it's so handy that it's at a grocery store, after my workout i can pick up a few things that we need without having to get back into my car and make extra stops. i HATE making extra stops, errands are my least favourite thing to do. i'm really happy i made the decision to switch to goodlife, even though it was a 7 week wait and i had to pay upfront. it will be a very positive move.

after a quick dinner, i went out with shanno to a movie at queen's called "orgasm inc", all about the new disorder "female sexual dysfunction". there's no evidence that there's a physiological sexual dysfunction in women but rather psychological barriers that inhibit women sexually. the pharmaceutical industry keeps trying to come up with a drug that women can use to fix their "FSD" because they know that if they convince people that popping a pill can fix what's "wrong" with them then a lot of money could be made. it seemed pretty clear to me that most women are just greatly misinformed. so i'm going to try to do my part in dispelling the orgasm myth.... 70% of women don't orgasm thru sexual intercourse. it's normal, that's just how the female body work. if you can't or don't orgasm thru intercourse there's nothing wrong with you, and you don't need to be medicated. you just need to be a little more creative, and your partner actually has to TRY. it seems most people learn about sex from their peers, but the reality is not everyone openly talks with their peers about sex, so they never learn that. i wish that medical science didn't always just approach things as a physical problem that needs fixing.

afterwards shannon and i walked down stuart street while she ranted about the repression of female sexuality. i love that when she said "masturbation" the girl in front of us turned around and gave us a bad look. that shanno, she's something else.

this would be a red letter year,
they didn't mention how much shit
was gonna change around here.
