Trail NoteAs I ran up Wilson Street to Newtown early this morning, watching the sun rise and chase away the storm clouds, I decided to declare last week’s diet funk officially BUSTED. I feel really great. I ran two laps around Centennial Park Wednesday night and cut a minute or so off my time. (Albert…

Hey Aunt Deb, aren’t we supposed to be 1/32 Native American or something? Which tribe are we? I hope it’s the Sioux. They rock. (*wondering how one donates money to a tribe*)

CouchCam is currently SvenCam, thanks to a mischievous Snook who didn’t want people watching him while he was home sick. So now you get to watch me make frightful faces as Sven’s revolving shiatsu hands make it all better…

At long last, I have the footage you’ve all been waiting to see: me and the ladies from the Knitter’s Guild rockin’ it on Sunrise. It’s a fairly big file (about 10MB) and you may have to download the whole thing before it plays. Yeah, we’re like postage-stamp-size and the sound isn’t perfectly synced, but…

An Unpaid EndorsementI have a new lunchtime addiction: Vermicelli‘s rice paper rolls. They just opened around the corner this week and they’re great! I’ve had the lunch special twice now, and my favorites would have to be the Sesame Beef rolls (they taste like bulgogi!) and the Portuguese Chicken salad. My only regret is they…

Learning How to Run. Yeah, I need to go for a run tonight. Unfortunately my birthday dinner triggered a weeklong food depression in which I’m still mired. I’ve been really tired for days – like, sleepy tired – and I’m stuffing my face with carbs. I haven’t even bothered tracking my Points. This is BAD,…

Dudes! Shhh… The new Rowan magazine is here! Some of the patterns are freakin’ weird though. For example, what, pray tell, is the knitted item in this picture? (It’s that stupid armband.) And I just feel really sorry for this poor male model. (He probably thought he was going to be all Blue Steel, but…

Need a laugh? Someone asks MetaFilter for the funniest jokes that don’t involve making fun of anyone. They tend towards puns and wordplay, but there are some real gems in there. I like the one with the big horse and the little horse. Oh, and the Snoop Dogg jokes. I am a sucker for Snoop…

On a whim, I bought some KiwiBerries at the grocery store this morning and they’re currently ripening on my desk. Does anybody know how to eat these? Do I just chew them up, skin and all?

I have had a really busy non-busy weekend. (Busy in the sense that I felt like I was on the go constantly; non-busy in the sense that I feel like I got absolutely nothing accomplished.) Friday was St. Paddy’s Day so we headed over to the Papists’ for some beer and truly excellent Irish stew.…
