selenak is watching The Wire and blogging season reactions. I find it really enjoyable to see the reactions to the show sort of in real time. So far she has posted about the first two seasons. (In other words, don't spoil her beyond that.)This is such a brilliant show. ♥
Yesterday I was in town to unload a couple of records and CDs, and while they were assessing the goods I had half an hour to fill. Dear Lord, half an hour downtown is dangerous to the budget. Good thing I rarely do it.
Anyway, I went to Karstadt Sport, just to see if they have rock rings which of course they didn't... but suddenly my gaze fell upon this pull-up bar for the door frame (scroll down to see it in action.) I had seen this before on Amazon and never trusted its stability, but the guy at the shop assured me it works. And it does!* Which is great timing because my gym membership expired last month and with me barely working any more I don't have the cash to renew it... but it's cool because this thing, along with my Yoga mat, makes a practically 99% adequate replacement.
Cyn, I hope you're reading this 'cause you want this, I know you do! It's perfect! It's got a great grip as well, more comfortable than a normal bar.
So I earned 13 Euro for my old records and spent 25 on this gadget. So much for making some quick cash. ;) At least I resisted the temptation to get a tasty treat from Starbucks. (I know they're evil and all but damn if they don't have delicious cakes.)
*my version works for doorframes >11cm and <16cm (which I could convert into inch but am too lazy right now)
