Omigawd! Omigawd! Like, It's An O.C. Sighting!

I'm working out at the gym, doing lower back exercises, when I see a guy walk by, and I think to myself "hey, he has the same hairstyle as that Ryan character from the O.C. Must be a trendy thing now. He's kinda got the same physical demeanor as Ryan too. But..nah, it can't be him."

15 minutes later, as I'm doing lateral pulldowns, I see the same guy walk up to the dumbbell area and start doing bicep curls. I have a better look at his face, and shit my knickers, it IS Benjamin McKenzie, the actor who plays Ryan, the kid from the other side of the tracks on Fox's The O.C.. Hell, I'm more excited to see him at my gym than I was to see Shaquille O'Neal or Magic Johnson (but not as excited as I was to see Mr. T). First thing I notice is that his legs are kinda skinny, not that I'm Captain Treetrunks or anything. But, yeah, he's got rather slender legs. He also naturally does that little hunch/slouch thing in real life that, with his character Ryan, you kinda interpret as an instinctive defensive ducking he's developed from having grown up on the hard streets of Chino.

He then does a bunch of sets of ab crunches on three different machines before ending up on one of those cardio cross-country/step machine thingys, at which point my workout is finished. Very exciting day at the gym. Except for the drive home where I feel like I'm going to puke water. I have GOT to stop working out on an empty stomach. I drink a liter of water every time I work out to slake my thirst and keep my muscles quenched so they don't get overly sore. If there's nothing else in my tummy, the water just sloshes around and every so often tries to creep back up my throat.

That's all I wanted to share. Yay!
