I sing some, mostly in the shower, but most people who know me tell me I have a decent voice. (I've occasionally thought of asking a friend of mine who's the lead singer of a band if she needs a Baritone/Bass backup, but I always chicken-out at the last minute. Two reasons there, have a crush on this girl *she's married*, and I've got crippling stage fright.)

85% or so through Stephen King's "Tower Aligned" novels. Reading Insomnia right now.
Ooh. Good luck to you. I was making that journey, trying to read all related novels before moving onto the next book of the main Tower series. I made it most of the way through
Insomnia before I hit critical mass and burnt out. :o
I'm reading
The Man Who Was Thursday by G.K. Chesterton and
Glue by Irvine Welsh.
I'm on the last Tower Aligned book (that I know of). The Regulators. (So far it's confusingly like Desperation, but it'll probably straighten itself out soon, other than that it's a good read)
Also, Insomnia's a good book. It goes through fast and slow spells, but I'd say the ending is worth it for its poignancy.

I do yoga, or try to, every morning. Lately I haven't done so well in that regard, getting to bed a bit later than I'd intended yada yada yada. But I'd like to know if anyone else here is also into yoga? Right now I follow a program called Power Yoga: Mind and Body with Adrienne Reed. I can approximate most poses, but for some there's just too much of me in the way for them to be possible. So, that brings me to the second part of why I'm posting this. Does anyone know if there are any good "Yoga for the Obese" programs out there? I've tried to find them before but turned up nothing. If there isn't I still do reasonably well with what I'm working with now.

If you want to go bigger though, play Guts as an eating game (pun is coincidence, I learned the name as face-f**ker). Read about it here:

The pot grows quickly, so you might end up having to eat a lot of food pretty early into the game. If you loose a showdown, you eat the pot. to make it pure evil, give the pot a hand. winning player of showdowns or only player will play the pot. If they loose, they eat double the pot.
I really like this one. Just call it eat the pot!
I've done monopoly and replaced the rents with food. Boardwalk with a hotel was a large pizza. If you fail to eat the entire "rent" within a timely manner, you are out of the game. Couple of things happen...first is that people are more open to trading for some reason! Second is that you don't need to bother with money, nobody really cares about what property you own, just distribute them and get to the eating. Thirdly, I haven't had the chance to do this, but it would be nice to play with teams-one feeder and one feedee. Feeders feed the "rent" to their feedees. Free Parking could be a free belly rub. The game would still take forever to play but it would be fun as hell going shopping for all the "rent" and then eating it with fellow fat friendly people.
Amazing!

Who want to play with me?

I do!

If it was real possible I would really go for 2000, hell if it were physically possible I would just be a giant blubbery whale big enough to take up a small wharehouse.
Lofty goals lol. I'm sure it'll be attainable some day though. After all, human kind is practically built for obesity.
