I shall now whine...  
I joined the gym the other week. They had one of those no joining fee things going which actually made the idea a great deal more plausible. However I also knew it'd be at least  a fortnight till I could go in because I work in accounts and it's financial year end...

Tonight was to be my first night...

I FELL OVER AND HURT MY KNEE.

Stupid rain and stupid body and and... dammit I was so motivated.

Worst thing is I didn't realise I'd hurt myself until after I'd done some time on the cross trainer (it didn't stiffen up until after I sat down later), so I may have actually done more damage. Its very slightly swollen, not tender to the touch but stiff and achy when I walk around. I am immensely unimpressed about this.

Sorry for the ranty whine. Figured someone here would understand.

I'm hoping it'll be right by tomorrow so I can go to pilates, even if I can't do everything I want to make sure I go so I get the routine going.

3 Types Of Espresso Coffee Machines  


There are a number of different espresso coffee machines that you can buy today. These include the manual, semi automatic and the full or super automatic. Below I will be taking a closer look at just what each of these machines are capable of doing.

1. Manual Espresso Coffee Machine

This type of machine requires the person using it to carry out all the various procedures involved in order to brew a great cup of espresso coffee. You will need to add both the water and the coffee grinds as well as controlling the frother if you are making cappuccinos or lattes.

2. Semi Automatic Espresso Coffee Machine

With this particular machine you will need to start the process by turning the machine on and then pressing a button. Then once the espresso has been made, you will then need to turn the machine off. However with this machine you will be required to ensure that they water reservoir is filled and that there is sufficient beans within the grinder (as some models come with an internal coffee grinder).

3. Full or Super Automatic Espresso Coffee Machine

This machine will produce a great espresso coffee without you having to participate in the process at all. These types of machines come with a fully integrated water system (which is attached directly to a water supply) and a coffee grinder for grinding the beans. With this particular machine all you need to do now is push a button and then the machine takes over and at the end will produce a great cup of espresso coffee. During each process, once the beans have been ground and used they will then be ejected and placed in an internal bin which can then be taken out and the contents removed.

When it comes time for you to find the perfect espresso coffee machine, you will need to determine just how convenient you want it to be. So if you are someone who wants to be involved in every process of making your own great cups of coffee, then the manual espresso coffee machine is the ideal choice for you.

However if you are someone who just wants to sit back and relax before they start drinking a great cup of coffee then the semi or super automatic espresso coffee machines may be your preferred choice. Also you will need to take into consideration the cost, unfortunately both the semi and super automatic machines can be quite expensive, plus they are quite large as well so may take up more space than you have available.

A great way of learning more about these various types of espresso coffee machines is by going online. There are lots of sites that can offer you reviews as well as offering great discounts on some of the more well known brands available today.

Tonight I had a pretty bad episode at home, where out of the blue I fell on the floor, twitching and screaming, and scared the pets.

After some discussion with Shade (we have had previous conversations in which he has brought up the possibility of seizures), I agreed to call my doctor tomorrow.

I have dreaded this, as an official diagnosis of seizure disorder could mean that my license would be revoked, but, as Shade pointed out it's better than no treatment at all. Plus there's always public transportation.

Denver for the rally  
I'm thinking about coming to Denver for Obama's acceptance speech at mile high stadium. I'd arrive Wednesday 27th and leave on Friday the 29th. My friend Felicia and I are looking for someone to host us for the two nights.

I've noticed a few of you are from Denver. Would any of you be able to host my friend and me? Pretty please...

Maverix Fashion Launch  
Rebel fashion at Lime
Actor and singer Christian Kane (Friday Night Lights, Angel) and stylist Heather Robinson unveiled their latest endeavor, Maverix, a swimwear and lingerie line, over the weekend. The show took place at Lime, on an elevated runway that ran the length of the patio, offering perfect views of the scantily clad models, who we hear were all flown in from L.A. especially for the show. Robinson's unique line refashions vintage rock concert tees into bikini tops and bottoms embellished with jewels and feathers that are sure to get you noticed at the pool or on the lake.

Check out www.maverixusa.com to see the designs and www.nashvillerage.com for more photos from this event.
