I went running last night. It was overcast and looked like it was about to start thunderstorming at any moment, but it never did. It was, however, really humid in that “rain is definitely coming” sort of way. I did 9.4 miles and felt utterly exhausted at the end, so I spent the rest of the night lounging around. The rain did eventually come in a spectacular lightning storm around 10:30.
Bridget Jones’s Diary (the first one) was on TV, so I ended up watching that. I remember reviewing the movie for the Technique when it came out in 2001, and recalled that I really didn’t like it much. Last night was only the second time I’ve ever seen it, and I enjoyed it a lot more. Perhaps that’s because I’m now comparing it to the sequel…which, despite some great Colin Firth moments, was worse than the first.
Anyway.
My plans for the Thanksgiving weekend are as follows:
- Run the Turkey Trot 10K tomorrow morning with Rich
- Stuff myself with food at Jo’s
- Work a few hours on Friday
- Have lunch with Jo, since we will be the only two people here
- See Motorcycle Diaries, Finding Neverland, and A Very Long Engagement even if I have to go to the theater alone
- Watch the GT-UGA football game on Saturday (nationally televised, hooray!)
- Spend an absurd amount of time in my pajamas
Excitement abounds.
