Daily Update

I got up early today. By early I mean 8am. For me it is anyway. With as much stuff that I have to do though, it probably should have been earlier.

So right after work I met up with Kristen and Courtney. We went running up at the track, the Australian Outback Track that is. I felt good about it in the beginning, you know, on the walk up to the starting point. My how that changed after lap one. There were lots of other kangaroo's and a few hyena's hopping around in teams. I did better than most of them, at first. I was like the great desert Fox. The one who blends into his surroundings and waits for the prey to come to him, then he's ultra fast for a short distance till he catches his victims. Although I didn't have any victims today, I reserve that right for later as needed. There were surprisingly a lot of people running around the Outback this night. I think Kristen was there jsut to show them all how to run like a champ, and Courtney was there to make fun of them all. I was more than willing to help. At the end of my running it was like my motor was sputtering out of gas. But when the desert fox went back to his hide out cave he took a shower and felt tons better.

While at lunch with the kids I heard Angry Pants announce that she was going to attend a movie all by herself. I assured her that I would be gracious enough to accompany her. When she realized that she wasn't allowed to be a lonely victim she invited more people too. We went to see Stardust. It was surprisingly good. At first I told myself I wasn't going to tell any of my guy friends that I saw it, but it was pretty darn good. Funny, sensible, clever, creative, and then of course romantic and magical. I think the best way to describe this show for girls is 'cute'; and the best way for guys would be 'fun'. It defiantly fits the bill. A few weeks ago when I watched the trailer for it I imagined it would be different, but it turned out very nice. Thanks CB.

I spoke with Switzerland today during lunch. I think it was Walter. My German was funny. I was giggling at myself the whole time, as I tried to impersonate a swiss mountain man. I was trying to make a hotel reservation. It will be interesting to see how much my 1:43 phone call will cost. I've stayed at this place twice before. Both were exhilarating.

Tonight I'm going to maybe get a haircut and do laundry, and play computer games. I found a new one that I'm addicted to. Its called Mahjong Tiles. Its just like dominoes, except Chinese... therefore its a lot harder than it should be.

Lunch was sponsored by the ever so healthy Jamba Juice again.

I'm listening to my old Yodeling CD's. I know what you're thinking, and yes, I can already hear Kristen mocking me for listening to such music. I couldn't keep away from it forever, I figure I need to prepare for cultural difference starting in 3 days.
