so this animation has been making its way around our office, and i have to say, it’s pretty hilarious. it originally went to becca from the “no weapons in space” email list; apparently this is one of the few good things that has gone out on that list. anyway, it’s a funny take on nuclear war. i know that sounds contradictory–funny and nuclear war–but just watch it.
the new york times has an article today on traveling to my lovely hometown, charlotte! yay charlotte. though i’ve never heard of half the places they mention… i guess that’s what happens when you haven’t lived someplace in 7 years. still, they mentioned one of my favorite stores in charlotte, the paper skyscraper; they carry everything from boxing nuns to test tube vases to little statues of buddha.
anyway. i went running last night, and my legs felt sort of weird. but the good thing about doing these long runs on tuesday is that i am already starting to cope much better with the boredom factor. i used to get bored really quickly on a run, but last night i didn’t. in fact, the whole half hour (three miles) passed in a blur or my listening to good music and looking in the windows of other people’s houses, and before i knew it, it was time to head home and get my stuff for softball. we lost the game in extra innings, by one run, so that sucked. and last night i not only bobbled a catch and screwed up some baserunning, but i also still can’t hit worth crap. i really need to go to the batting cages.
sigh. i know i’m probably too hard on myself when it comes to athletic skill, and it’s just a coed rec league…but still! i don’t want to suck!
