I can walk and chew gum at the same time, not that I chew gum that often, but it's disconcerting to discover that I'm still apparently the world's least coordinated human being.
Or at least that's the impression I've gained from attempting to go along with an exercise dvd I rented, more out of curiosity than hope... it seems that, as I was in the days when my mother used to call me 'Calamity Jane', I am incapable of managing a sequence of actions without dire consequences. Single actions, yes, but anything that involves doing one thing, then doing something else and something else after that in quick succession, not so good.
So much for that version of Plan A. At least my use of the Amazon dvd rental system allows me to discover this cheaply! ;)
And speaking of dvds (hey, nice segway!), I probably shouldn't mention to a couple of people on my friendslist who're bound to get overexcited that season 2 of Judge John Deed is out in February.

I've got a black belt in Karate and a Silver in Ballroom dancing and even I can't seem to do them without looking like some sort of uncoordinated puppet with the strings all tangled. It usually works better for me if I do the workout in a gym with an instructor but on my own in front of a TV? Nope, can't do it.
They just aren't made for normal people ;-)

Random manager: Did you have a good weekend?
Me (in my head): Well, I spent all Saturday in my pyjamas, eating junk food and reading bad gay porn, so it could have been much worse!
Random manager: *head implodes*
