Kill Bambi From The Comfort Of Your Couch...
Under the category of completely F'd up, I bring you online hunting and target practice. Leave it to someone in Texas to decide to hook up a gun to some sort of contraption to allow users to move and fire the rifle with the click of mouse. Think of all the wonderful possibilities that this has opened up to society! Seriously people, couldn't we have done without this one?

Whoops, I Did It Again...
Okay, so I haven't signed up for another marathon, but I have signed up for a Half. I just registered for the Half Marathon at the White Rock Marathon on Dec 12th. This somewhat crazy considering that I haven't really been running much since running Chicago, but I got a few 7 milers in this week and I'm feeling pretty good. I'll do my first long run tomorrow (I'll actually only get to do 3 long runs before the half) and will try for about 10ish. Its only been a month since the marathon, so I'm thinking I can get up to 13 miles pretty quickly. It will be a slow pace, but its good to have a race on the calendar.

Why I Could Never Live In Seattle
.jpg)
Don't get me wrong, I love a good thunderstorm as much as anyone. I enjoy having the window open and taking a nap. Watching the lightning fill the sky and then hearing the low rumble of the thunder. That being said, I do like to see the sun every now and then. I think its been about a month since we've seen the sun here (I realize its probably only been about 4-5 days, but it feels like a month)! I don't have a clue how people can put up with this for weeks on end. I need to see sunlight more often then not. Its just not good for the spirit! I have enjoyed running in the rain & drizzle the past couple days, but again - I'm ready for some sunlight. I hear we might get a break in the rain in the next two or three weeks (or by the weekend. But two to three weeks sounds more dramatic).
Cheers

Quirks
I was just im'ing with Jeremy while debating what to blog about, and I've decided to write about the strange appeal I have towards natural disaster movies. I'm not sure what this says about me, but I like them. Old 80's, made-for-tv earthquake movies = good stuff. Last night CBS aired Cat 6: Day Of Destruction. This had all the makings of a cheesy natural disaster movie. Bad title, bad acting, bad effects, horrible story line. And yet I like them. Twister - bueno. Day After Tomorrow - too good. Volcano - excellent. Yep, I'll watch any of them. So, what are your quirks?
Never Grows Old
I think I could listen to this album everyday and never tire of it. Cheers
