San Diego Rock 'n Roll Marathon
It was awful. Plain awful. I mean really, what can you say? I ran 26.2 miles voluntarily, because I thought it would be fun? So I can tell everyone how superior I am? It was the hardest thing I ever tried to do. So that’s what I’ve been up to the past 6 months. My training regiment consisted of 8 miles twice to three times a week. I had been ramping up my long runs every other weekend,...

Mass Animal Deaths Around the World
thousands of birds fell from the sky
i wish this was an isolated incident. however, two days after this event, millions of fish washed up ashore, thousands of crabs were found dead on the beach, and millions of seashells are appearing in pakistan. this is also occurring in south america.
i guess we’re just waiting for the locust?

New Year's Resolutions
Last year was a pretty big year. I bought condo. It was the biggest purchase of my life. I think it aged me, like any rite of passage would. Nicole bought a place too, and she too seems much wiser than before. My dad always said that your home will be the best investment you’ll ever make. In the end I thought the only recognizable difference would be that I would make my check out to Wells...

I started watching Avatar: The Last Airbender the anime series. I’ve heard from more than one source that despite the horrible movie, the series is pretty great and it has 4.5 stars on netflix so how bad could it be? If I told you it was produce by Nickelodeon, would you groan? Ah, maybe. I just don’t get how so many people know about this damn series. It’s not like they were...
I’m thinking of doing the unthinkable: terminating my facebook account.
It wouldn’t be much of a change to my current fb activity, but it would get me out of mundane conversations with my co-worker about the trailing saga of the dislike button - like I care, you know? People like him, parents, and weird characters of high-school past who leave unruly comments on my profile page ruin...

jeff was training alison and i to update a particular excel worksheet. alison is the cutest grad i’ve ever met, and jeff’s favorite game is pop quiz, so jeff pipes, “why’s this number wrong? how do we fix it?”
ali, who wants to reference a cell exclaims, “use C-4!”
hehe, it made me giggle, so i said aloud, “C-4 would solve about anything.”...

I bet you’re wondering where I’ve been. An endless number of unfinished drafts sit idle, not fit to fill you in. There’s too much ground to cover, so let’s start at the end. I’m happy and it begins with the question: What would you do if you could travel through time? Would you play the lottery? … ah yes, but when you think about taxes and greed, the lure of...

Have to massage your significant other? Rather play a video game? Why not do both?
*scratch scratch*
Haven’t written anything in a while. *sigh* I should just write SOMETHING.
I quit smoking cold turkey on January first because I turned 25. You just can’t smoke after 25 like you did when you were in college. It’s too juvenille.
Saw Avatar on my birthday, January second. I’ve never had a more difficult time trying to get into a movie. Went to the Box Office on Thursday...

Passenger Bill of Rights
You know, (I’m really embarassed to say this but I must confess), it was only last year that I thought Obama was the Anti-Christ. I even wrote a blog about it. Right here. Then I had to rebuttal because calling Obama the Anti-Christ made everyone really mad. Rebuttal. In all honesty I think he’s doing a fantastic job pummelling the Christian right. Maybe the Anti-Christ is what we...
Keep a personal diary for personal development
I haven’t written a personal post in a while, mainly because I’ve been reflecting on all the changes in my life and my friends… My birthday’s coming up in a few weeks. The big 2-5. It’s hard to imagine what life will be like a year from now because exactly a year ago I was living on Oahu awaiting to move to London. Now I’m looking for a home and a dog....

Steven Landsburg was chosen by the economics department at Oberlin College to be an outside examiner to “determine who among its top graduating seniors should receive an honors degree.” He posted the written exam, which consists of 10 questions, to his blog.

Congratulations, America: We didn’t trample anyone to death over slightly discounted HDTVs this Black Friday, probably! And God knows, we tried. Hope you call had a merry, chairbound Cyber Monday.
Last night, my boyfriend and I watched Glee. Jayma Mays tells Matthew Morrison that her fiancé has 74 flaws. In response, I tell Mike, “I’m so lucky. You only have 17.” So he curiously asks what they are. Of course, he doesn’t have any so I start making them up off the top of my head.

I couldn’t come up with anything else.

Remote location
I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There’s so much pressure. I love this show, but will you judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren’t watching this. It’s only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?

Public Service Announcement: STSs
There’s a lot of things in this world that scare me: plane crashes, the Thriller music video, global warming, Kimberly’s scar on Melrose Place, falling down stairs, fupas, violent ghosts, episodes of SVU based on a true story, testicular twisting, Mickey Rourke’s new face, cancer, and eHarmony. Just to name a few (what can I say, I’ve got nerves of cardboard). But I’d be hard pressed to name one...

Pants
Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty. You can wear them forever.
Amazing Sentence!!
“I do not know where family doctors acquired illegibly perplexing handwriting nevertheless, extraordinary pharmaceutical intellectuality counterbalancing indecipherability, transcendentalizes intercommunications incomprehensibleness”. This is a sentence where the Nth word is N letters long. e.g. 3rd word is 3 letters long, 8th word is 8 letters long and so on
