And the most that I can summon about this happening is a "enh" and a shrug. Neither candidate was overly appealing and both of them seemed to have some sort of flaw that led me to think that they might not be the best person for the position. It's a runoff election and I don't feel like I have a dog in this fight ( Read more... )

Which reminds me of Doctor Who. I'm sure he's used the word "thinky" before, though I couldn't tell you where or when that happened ( Read more... )

I regret to inform my LiveJournal family and friends that my aunt has passed away after a three year war with cancer. She leaves behind a family who loved her very much but rejoins (among others) her father and one of her best friends on this Earth. The visitation is tomorrow evening and the funeral service itself is on Wednesday afternoon ( Read more... )

This is an achievement in which I take great pride. It's funny how the simplest accomplishments can bring so much joy (and the lack of aggravation in trying to find another printer on short notice). ;)

it went something like "Who rocks the house? ____ rocks the house! And when ____ rocks the house, _____ rocks it all the way down."

I could be completely wrong about it, but that is definitely going through my head right now. It's been a pretty good day in the work sense. And only one more hour before we go home! Even better.

I managed to run four miles today -- a mile of sprints with breaks in between, a mile on its own, and two miles after another five minute break. My best sprint time was 1:13 secs -- this is an improvement over my best time at the indoor track of four seconds. While at the gym, I also managed to do 65 sit-ups in a minute, 50 push-ups, three sets ( Read more... )

I'm not sure whether I'm going to go to the gym or try the track today. I've been doing a lot of outdoor running (up and down one particular hill near my house comes to mind!) so I might like to beat the heat today and handle this indoors. The only problem that comes to mind is that I wanted to do some sprinting... and indoor tracks do not lend ( Read more... )

Apparently, vampires are now in the business of causing car accidents, though getting them to appear in court for it might be a bit problematic unless Harry Stone was presiding...

Tonight or tomorrow night I will be participating in another time trial. I have rested from running as of last night -- having run three miles on an indoor track on Thursday night. Forty-five times around an indoor track leads to using your fingers as counters -- left hand then right hand, left hand then right hand, etc., and holding them in a ( Read more... )

I got this strange memory the other day of being at my friend Brooke G's house. It was one of my last sleepovers that could be considered such. She was a senior in high school and I was a junior. We watched Grease and I felt horribly sophisticated to be staying in a house where BG had the Whole Upstairs to herself -- it was just like having an ( Read more... )
