Daily Update

I had to work till 6:30 last night. Sometimes that can be a painful thing. I was
trying to leave early but they wouldn't have any of that. It was more of a 'wait
for me to be done' type thing. I was supposed to be somewhere between 5 and 7, but
that didn't work out. So when I actually did leave, I was so excited, but then left
empty inside because I was unable to make my own deadline.

After that I hung out with the roomates for a bit. We delt with some 'in house'
business, then I decided to squeeze in a run before the movie. I was again hit with
the realization that when I'm in a hurry to go somewhere, traffic is always slower.
I had exactly one hour before The movie would start.

As I looked down the path of the track, I held back my intimidation. I had to cut
back on stretching time due to the time constraint. I also had to force myself to
run faster than I wanted to. I scurried like a Racing Zebra, with determination
dripping from his brow. My hooves hit heavily upon the pavement as the sounds of
fright whisped past my ears. It wasn't my fright though, it was that of the people
I passed. I also wouldn't allow myself to turn around to see all the evil creatures
chasing me. I didn't see them, but I knew that they were there. I did quite well
up until the end. I ran into a few more nice people while on the track. We didn't
have much time to talk, but they looked like the good witch from OZ. By the end I
had noticed a pain from my shin and knee that I had noticed a few months ago. That
led to a somewhat weak finish. But by then I was paying more attention to the clock
than to my nerves.

So Josh and I met up with Jeff to watch The Astronaut Farmer. Oh, what an upset!
Now I realize why some people are so picky about what movies they see. I figured
that if it was good enought for some movie executives at Warner Bros. It should be
good for most of the country, right? Wrong. It was slow, uneventful, no character
development, no interesting characters, no unique cinematography, no artsy fartsy
stuff. no significant climactic point. Plot, sure a little bit of one, but it was
so rough aound the edges. I found myself thinking about if I was at home, or in a
hospitle bed, what would I rather do? change the channel, yell and scream at the
nurses, sleep, stair at the wall; all were valid options that I would heavily
consider if in that situation.

After that, Kristen was nice enough to let me invite us over to her flat for
cookies. Upon arrival, I started second guessing myself. Jeff hadn't eaten and was
beginning to act like a shark in a feeding frenzy in her kitchen. One thing I
didn't feel that I needed to mention was that the cookies that she was making wern't
all for him. Apparently I should have detailed that explanation to him like a
lawyer, cause he was a bit upset when he hear the words, 'no, thats not for you'.
Kristen was nice enough to let us use her house as a discussion forum. I think our
conversations made her fall asleep realy quickly. So then we left.

I'm listening to the morbid reports of the last few days on talk radio. Ya, I don't
know what i'm thinking either.
