Thursday
Just getting back from the gym. Waking up wasn’t so bad this morning… it was the “get your ass out of bed” factor that was the hard part. I did it in under :05 today; I was proud of myself. The workout wasn’t bad, either. Still, no Land in sight…

Song of the Day: Thursday. Three-fer Thursday, at that. Today’s selections come from Sting: Windmills of Your Mind (from The Thomas Crown Affair soundtrack), Shape of My Heart, and La Belle Dame Sans Regret.

Stray toasters…

  • I had one of THE most random thoughts while on the way to the gym: If you were playing “Chicken” (with cars), which way would you turn? And, is there a correlation between someone who is right-handed (or left-handed) and the way that they would turn?
  • A friend left this link in an IM for me this morning.

    [08:36] Sp4sm: I can think of no one more deserving of that car than you.
    [08:36] ShadoRunr: I’m almost afraid to ask “Why so…?”
    [08:37] Sp4sm: Because… You are the ‘keeper’     (referring to my title “Keeper of Useless Pop Culture Trivia Knowledge”)
    [08:37] ShadoRunr: Ah.
    [08:38] ShadoRunr: “Who….. who are you!?!?”
    [08:38] ShadoRunr: “I’m Blaqman!”
    [08:38] ShadoRunr: ::: swirls cape :::
    [08:39] Sp4sm: exactly.

  • Cats are still funny. Xena has this habit of laying across Jess’ hip… no, I guess it’s more “down her side…” when she (Jess) is lying down. She will wait for Jess to lie down and turn on her side and then… ::: perch :::. She then proceeds to look around, like a queen being carried around, as if to say: “All of this is mine… I just allow you to be here in my presence.” It’s cute… in a cats-are-funny way.

And now… time to get ready for work.

Peace.
