Twilight
Ha! I just watched the second Twilight teaser trailer and suddenly realized that evil James is Volchok! The evil surfer who killed Marissa on The O.C.! THAT’S AWESOME. (Hm. I wonder if Bella will be as annoying as Marissa. Quite possibly.)

World Flip Cup Championship
Duuuuuuuuuuude! The World’s Largest Flip Cup Tournament will be taking place in New York next month. If I were in the US, I would absolutely be trying to talk Kel, Crawf, Pants, and RT into entering. AND WE’D WIN.

Another light week on account of my cold. I did two 3K walks to the city (during my training course), an easy 5K run, and then the 9K Bridge Run.
Week 11 distance: 26mi (42km)
Week 12 distance (SICK): 6mi (10km)
Week 13 distance (SICK): 12mi (20km)The good news is, I’m just about fully recovered! I went out for a 6K run this morning and, though my legs are still a little sore from the hills, I was surprisingly speedy. This is meant to be my last hard week before the Half, and I’m scheduled for a 17-miler on the weekend. (I may break that up over two days though.) Then next week I’m officially tapering.

Melbourne Recommendations
Melbourne Recommendations: We’re less than three weeks out from the race, so I’m getting organised for our trip down south. Last time you guys came up with some great tips for stuff to do (including an ACE restaurant recommendation). So what should we do this time? We get into Melbourne on the morning of Friday, October 10, and we fly out Sunday night. (The race will take up most of Sunday.) I’m thinking we could go to a nice dinner on Friday, and then Saturday I’m working on a meetup with crumpet and gusseting. Any other suggestions?

Palin: The American Idol Candidate
Roger Ebert on Sarah Palin: The American Idol candidate.
“There’s a reason “American Idol” gets such high ratings. People identify with the contestants. They think, Hey, that could be me up there on that show! My problem is, I don’t want to be up there. I don’t want a vice president who is darned near good enough. I want a vice president who is better, wiser, well-traveled, has met world leaders, who three months ago had an opinion on Iraq. Someone who doesn’t repeat bald-faced lies about earmarks and the Bridge to Nowhere. Someone who doesn’t appoint Alaskan politicians to “study” global warming, because, hello! It has been studied. … I would also want someone who didn’t make a teeny little sneer when referring to “people who go to the Ivy League.” … There a lot of hockey moms who haven’t seen London, but most of them would probably love to, if they had the dough. And they’d be proud if one of their kids won a scholarship to Harvard.”
EXACTLY. Exactly exactly exactly. When did we start thinking it was a bad thing for our leaders to be educated and informed?
