Did some DDR last night; still getting back into the groove, but made it through 20 minutes of Workout mode last night, scoring nothing less than a B (on moderate difficulty, so no half-beat steps). And now, this morning, my calves ache. Of course, having my calves aching is probably better than having my knees ache, since muscles tend to be a bit hardier than ligaments and tendons. :)

Felt good to do it, though. Slowly re-learning how to have a lighter touch on the dance pad so it doesn't slip around so badly. Not an easy task to do, considering that I generally clomp about a bit when I walk.

Just over seven hours until I get to see The Two Towers... Seven tantalizing hours...

And lo, I must chuckle...

That last one's a kick, considering how many women I know (my wife and my mom included) who are going just to see Aragorn and Legolas.

And while I'm at it...

Because, hey, guess what the government can do to you now!

Freedom of Association - Government may monitor religious and political institutions without suspecting criminal activity to assist terror investigation.

Freedom of Speech - Government may prosecute librarians or keepers of any other records if they tell anyone that the government subpoenaed information related to a terror investigation.

Right to Legal Representation - Government may monitor federal prison jailhouse conversations between attorneys and clients, and deny lawyers to Americans accused of crimes.

Freedom from Unreasonable Searches - Government may search and seize Americans' papers and effects without probable cause to assist terror investigation.

Right to a Speedy and Public Trial - Government may jail Americans indefinitely without a trial.
