The Handpresso. I need one of these! I hate the coffee that comes out of the machine at work.

Plastic Canvas in the 21st Century
Plastic canvas meets the 21st century. Sweet! I wish I’d thought to make the connection to computer pixels.
More Twilight
My sister has succumbed to the lure of vampire smut…

Week 8 distance: 12.25mi (19.6km)
Week 9 distance: 21.65mi (34.7km)
Week 10 distance: 11mi (18km)
After really pushing it last week, I had a planned cut-back week to recover. My lower back pain has returned a little bit, which is probably due to me NOT doing the stretches and exercises the physio gave me. (Yes, I suck, and I’m going to start again.) I may go see him again if I can’t resolve it on my own. Other than that, I’ve got the usual litany of minor running ailments: a couple niggling pains in my shins and knees, and a slightly tender hamstring. More worrisome is the sudden pain I felt at the top of my right quad as I was finishing my 45-minute run this morning. I put anti-inflammatory gel on it, and I’ll be doing some icing tonight. It hasn’t bothered me at all while walking, so I don’t think I’ve hurt it too badly. I just have to hang in there for five more weeks…
Hypercolor
ZOMG. Hypercolor is back. We really are doing this reliving-the-80’s thing, aren’t we?
HELLO, Daniel Radcliffe!
HELLO, Daniel Radcliffe! (Snookums is going to start calling me Germaine Greer again…)
Name Explorer
Baby Name Explorer. Pretty neat little graphs! “Kristine” peaked in the 1950’s, oddly, but poor “Rodd” doesn’t even show up on the list.
Rottweiler Plays with Kitten
Rottweiler plays with kitten. Awwwwwwwww. Trans-species friendship! Eileen is going to love this. (Note to Snookums: Envision our cat as the rottweiler. Won’t it be adorable??)
Fingerprint Art
Fingerprint Art. Hmmm… I’m actually envisioning that on the front of a sweater. Sort of a Kaffe Fassett meets Big Brother type of thing. Could be cool.
