Races are fun.
(e:Janelle) was nice enough to drag me out to a race this Sunday. We both ran a 5K with 1,500 other people. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised.
My dad loves running. LOVES it. He used to run a couple marathons a year and would do 10ks regularly. I, however, loathed it as a kid. He was sign me up for a race so we could have some father/son bonding. But nothing pisses a 12 year old off like having to get up at 7 on a Saturday morning to jog.
But this was so much more fun. First, running with a crowd of hundreds is way more fun than doing it solo. I get to play little games, like running with someone for a few yards and then sprinting way ahead of them while making space ship noises in my head.
On the last mile I found the guy I wanted to beat. He looked my age and was about my build and we were making the same time about. He would pull ahead of me, then I would pull ahead, back and forth. Finally, I saw the finish and just gunned it and beat him by a few seconds. WOO HOO! Then I saw that a women in her 60's beat the two of us, giving me a lesson in humility, or something.
After, there was food and drink and a girl way too excited about pudding. But it was fun and I would do it again next weekend.
Thanks (e:Janelle) for inviting me.

Choose your own..... BRAIIIIINS!Remember those choose your own adventure story books from childhood? They always had so much potential. One second you are having a perfectly educational experience exploring pioneer life, then the next you are drinking booze from the mouth of a whore. The greatness of the genera was never realized sadly.
But you can relive the wonder with The Outbreak an interactive zombie movie. It has surprisingly high production values and all the classic elements of a zombie flick. A sure crowd pleaser and a fine way to spend ten minutes.
Go get 'em.

Was that Josh Brolin ?
Yes I watched it all, and I give it to him he has guts to do that and here is why:
1)singing on tv shows is often bad and his talent is way above that
2) His singing style doesn't fit theme songs
3) Tv show themes are classics
A)People know them and have memory attached to them
B) Even if not known well the second it sounds a bit different people freak
That being said Animal was Awesome. He got South Park perfect. I wonder how much control he had over how the band played the song or if they had to fit it to his style. Yes he does have a lot of talent but most of the songs sounded odd to say the least.

Seriously?!?!?!? I would be embarrassed to sing this song....
You need to look aroun 1:43 to see his interpretation of South Park's theme song.
OMG nows he's singing the theme to COPS - and he is way too white to be singing the theme to fresh prince of bel air theme.
Ok, so it looks like I'm going to be watching the whole thing, but someone had to do it. Surprisingly people actually clapped he was done. Maybe they are the real losers!

I was glad to see animal, but it was bad as soon as he got to the friends song.
Bad. Very bad.
The choir, I thought would help, but it didn't.
Law and Order twice? What's up with that?
I made it to the bitter end though.

I made it to the love boat, then quickly turned it off so nobody in the house would think I was enjoying it.

Furries, we salute you!With Hurricane Ike causing disaster it is important that we applaud those brave souls who stayed behind. And most of all, the Furries who stayed behind.

People are freaking weird. I saw other footage of someone waving the US flag in the face of Ike. That was fucked.

Sweet, Sweet RevengeThe lease on the campaign office lasted only until city hall processed permits for redoing our space. They sat on them knowing the developer was an ally of Sam's. If only they realized that it was our office they wanted to rip apart. So, yesterday we packed up and this afternoon we moved into our new office.
Now, where could be the sweetest place to move into? Sure, there are lots of nice spaces in great locations, but that is not why this space is tops.
No my friends, this space is infinitely better than marble walls and a view. We just moved into Barbra Kavanaugh's old campaign office.
We captured her castle, we win.
The only thing that could possibly make it better is if it came furnished with a throne of skulls taken from our foes.
But we all know the real base of operation was city hall. Maybe next year will will take that base too.

I find it hard to get excited about puddings and oh, also about running, in general.
Got any pics.
