I finally went for a run today, 16 minutes. "So what!" you might say. Well, it’s been 10-11 months since I last went running, so that’s "What!"
Normally I ought to be up to at least 30 minutes by mid-May, but this isn’t normally. The important thing, of course, is that I keep at it. This is a good week to begin as I actually have some free time for once. Here’s hoping the weather is good for the rest of the week and maybe I can get out a few more times. If I can get the 1st 3-4 in then I might do OK keeping at it.
I will be walking even more this summer, but I still need to run. I got my practicum paperwork signed by my practicum supervisor today and checked the distance on the way home (I drove). On the days I walk, which will hopefully be those it doesn’t rain and is not 95+ degrees out, I’ll walk to work (28 min.), to the practicum (32 min.), and home which is another 3.2 miles.
I went to see The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy last night. When I 1st heard that it was coming out I practically screamed and swore I wouldn’t go see it. (Yes, I can be overly dramatic.) Since it was released, I have read a few posts about it across the web and changed my mind. I swore to myself not to judge it based on the books. It was OK. Was definitely funny on occasion. I’m just glad I haven’t read the series in quite a while, although if I could fit them in this summer…. Hitchhiker is just the kind of ’skiffy’ I love.
At the theater I noticed a poster for a new Pink Panther with Steve Martin. Why the fuck can’t those assholes in Hollywood have an original idea? It’s been like 30-40 years since those pukes thought up something for themselves. Incestuous is way too polite of a word for what they do—especially considering the versions of DRM and copyright law the MPAA wants to force on us!
