e_julianaNothing major, really. Just a serious case of Short Timer's Syndrome. Not much to do and no motivation to do it.
Have been having problems with 1) getting enough calories into my maw and 2) vertigo. Went to the doctor, who drew blood for #1 (at least I've not gained any weight during this most recent eating mania) and told me that I have Benign Positional Vertigo for #2. I now have a scrip for PT for my inner ear, to get those wee stones back into place. Yippee.
Let's see, what else? I met Angela Bassett, Courtney B. Vance, and Reginald Vel Johnson last night. That rocked. Reggie is a big sweetie, Courtney is quite charming, and Angela is guh. So pretty. So nice. So tiny. It was cool. We have another Big Guthrie Shindig to go to tonight, which should be fun. This is, of course, after I run 8 miles. Don't wanna. Well, okay, do wanna, but will whine about it.
Speaking of running - prior to starting this traing program, I had had to reset my mental "standard run" thought processes, increasing the mileage up to 6 miles instead of 4 as well as increasing the tempo. Now, I have to reset the "standard run" mileage every two weeks, increasing every time. From 6, I'm now at 8. From 8, I go to 9, and then up to 10. Sheesh.
Oh! I also picked up Marvel 1602 at the used bookstore yesterday. So nice. I'm not a huge comic fan, and I tend to prefer the DCverse, but as it was written by Neil Gaiman and deals with one of my favorite periods of history, I had to own it. Mine, all mine....
Also, also - we saw Batman Begins on Friday night. It was precisely what I wanted it to be, and I'd like to see it again. (I loved the Blade Runner-esque visuals in some spots.)

Paraphrasing, merely: "You have the earnest look of the Old Jock keeping in shape. Now imagine me running down the beach. As I pass, people look up and notice, then look down the beach where I came from. Even though they see nothing, they begin, one by one, to fall in behind me, for surely someone like me would not run, unless pursued. And soon there is a veritable stampede of tourists, small children and mothers, pounding along in panicked dread. Believe me, I'm doing everyone a favor by not running."

Date: 2005-06-28 04:38 pm (UTC)Marvel 1602 looks all sorts of coolness, and I'll definitely need to find m'self a copy. (I still need to pick up "Marvels")
Fave scene in Batman had to be the "push-ups"- where he just sorta, falls into push up position. They really did the movie right. (After the 2nd screening, I started to notice Batman over-enunciate. 'Specially during the whole "what defines the man" speech towards the end of the movie. If you see it again, watch for it. ) It's nice to see a DC franchise get back on track after so many mis-fires. (We can thank Marvel for that. Blade, Spidey 1/2 and X-Men 1/2 paved the way showing what good directors, good actors, and good writers can do for a comic movie.) Why, oh why do I feel like Fantastic Four is gonna drop the ball for Marvel? And Brett Ratner for X3? Hello? Can anyone say Joss Whedon? Hollywood Dorks. For something truly geeky, and to see what WB/DC is doing with another franchise, check out "Bluetights.Net". It's Bryan Singer's web journal regarding the making of "Superman Returns", and it's pretty awesome.
I think I'm gonna go for a run now...right to Dairy Queen. Muh WAH HA HA HA HA!!!
