Daily Update

So now that I've recovered from illness, I've been staying at work till later. It's not always fun, but it is sometimes necessary. This Friday it will be the big '1 year anniversary' at my job. They'll probably start reminding me to take the Licensing exam tests, poop. But I feel that by me leaving early, I can't mope around my apartment as much, which still puts me on the same schedule, there's simply less down time, which leaves plenty of time for me to be productive. So staying at work a bit longer isn't that big of a deal.

So when I'm getting ready to send a well crafted Daily Update, I always re-read it, to cut down on errors, and also to make sure I correctly portray each and every story. But there are still items that still fall thru the cracks. For Example:
Ryan Plewe and I went running on Monday. (It completely slipped my mind yesterday.) I told him to call me to see if I was up when he went. (unfortunately) I forgot to silence my phone, so yes, he woke me up at 9am. I reluctantly went with him. We both did pretty good. My time was 17:05, the best recorded time at this track. I was like the great Springbok of the wild safari, leaping from knoll to knoll. The tall grasses and prairie-dog holes did not bother me, for I could jump over them all in a single bound. My keen Hawk-like eyesight also helped me spot each graceful landing. I conquered this feat today with ease, well, with 17 minutes of ease anyway. At the end, as I awaited Plewe to finish, I of course was greeting all the other runners that came by, especially the new 'Miss Brentwood'. I mean wow. I'm pretty sure she was flaunting it. Then as Plewe arrived he had to help me settle down, and stop drooling. Then, as a champ, while driving away, he started honking at her as we drove by bringing an annoying reality to my temporary dream girl. Thanks a lot Ryan!

And yet a gain, I went running yesterday, on tuesday as well. It was a little later in the evening. Not as many people. A little colder. A little harder to move my legs. I did see pirates there for the first time though, two of them in fact. One wearing red, one blue, I wonder if they were together. This time, my race was finished in a whopping 17:40. I now have timed checkpoints at each corner of the Country club, so I know if I'm fast or slow compared to each corner. The average times are 5min, 6min, 11min, and 16min. at each corner. I've been doing better on the uphill parts, and slower on the down hill parts. At the end, I think I saw Miss Brentwood again. I was going to say hello, but then I remembered that Plewe the obnoxious Perv ruined that for me.

Jeff was itching to eat, so immediately after running the kids picked me up, and we went to the Indian food place on Westwood and Olympic for 'Supper'.

Then we stopped by Selby cause Greenfield was avoiding us. Starting this Friday we'll be showing the Harry Potter movies at their place. It should be loads of fun.

I've started painting. The stuff I got to clean my brushes didn't work, turns out it instantly ruins them. And the paint I have dries really quickly. So I'm down two nice brushes. Its lots different than in Utah. So last night I had to try some new stuff, On saturday I'll have to yell at the people at Utrecht for selling me crap.

I'm listening to Lilly Allen right now.
