Owwie!

Who ever thought a reindeer could be so much more...
My right shoulder is sore, likely from straining it at the gym last week. Im pretty sure it was when I was doing Dumbell Flys, I seem to remember accidentally drifting towards my head on one of the down strokes (using 30lb weights). That followed by lifting a few heavy things when helping a friend move as well might have done the trick. Tonight when I went into the gym again I only ended up doing 2 chest and 2 back (versus 3 and 3) because I didn't want to push it when the pain/soreness was kicking in. Oh well, just planning to try and take it easy on it (maybe scrounge up an icy/hot Pad tomorrow).
In commission news: Finally finished my locker room piece. While there are some flaws (they always seem to crop up to my attention when it's nearly finished naturally) Im very happy with how it came out as is the commissioner. For how much was NOT photo-referenced (SHOCK, I use photos for stuff :insane: !!!) I was happy with what I managed.
Next on the commission block is working on my Justice League piece, as well another project that shall remain nameless until the appropriate time. Ive also been approached on one or two other possible pieces that'll be in the works if things work out.
On a personal front: It looks to be that I will have a job, at least for the month of September, working in a research call center. It's part time (though a solid 20hours a week at a decent pay-rate with benefits) but it'll be something. The good thing will be the experience to levy on my resume (not to mention the paycheck in the meantime). It also happens to be in a work-shift time slot that allows me to seek/obtain a normal 9-5 style job as well if I can net one. So there's some improvements to the 14month dry spell career-wise.
On a personal personal note: Ive recently been venturing into the hobby/obsession that is Warhammer 40k. The newest edition of the rules were released this past June and it's a perfect time for someone whose never played to get started. For those that are unfamiliar with the game, it's a tabletop miniatures war game where you build and paint your army of choice (chosen from one of the 13 or 14 factions available) and battle it out with opponents with dice and mayhem. Ive chosen to start building a Dark Angels chapter of Space Marines and am loving every minute of it. I've only built a 10man squad of tactical marines so far (due to finances... it IS a hobby as much as model airplanes or the like). I'll probably post some pictures in my scraps for anyone interested in checking them out as well as some army lists and battles as I play them. Ive played out two games in the last week using borrowed/proxied units just to get some game play under by belt (lost both but Ive learned alot and had fun). It should be a nice addition to the list of things that vie for my limited cash and attention (and yet another thing for my parents to shake their heads at when I tell them about it).
I suppose that's enough for now, just felt like tossing a quick life-splat up for those that are curious ^^

As for the Real Life Muscle Furs group, Im not sure. I know I am/was following a couple of the members but can't say that Ive seen a journal about it recently (though I believe you're correct in the window of addmission)
Oh, for dimension reference to the above weights, Im 26, 5'8 and clocked in at like 210 last time I stood on a scale a few months ago . I haven't had a chance to weigh in recently due to the scale's battery dieing but given my inconsistent workout routine over the last month-month and a half I don't see that summation of gravitational pull being all that smaller just yet.
It's also nice because everyone in the gym is in the same boat in the sense of also being a pre-medical student, so it's much easier to approach, too.
