Took the cat into the vet's this afternoon. Kitty has a canine at a weird angle and too much tartar--which probably means cavities. I guess your pet is a reflection of yourself--I had seven cavities my last check-up.
So, Kitty is on canned food until the surgery on Monday. I should have switched her over to canned a long time ago--but I am a confirmed...

Haha!
Tonight was the last race in the x-country race series. It was 4.95 km. I had two goals. Finish under 20 minutes (21:25 last year), and finish ahead of a certain individual (he has passed me mid-way in the last three races and beaten me by 40-60 seconds).
Time = 20:00
He beat me by 1 second.
Oh well, there is always the fall...

My 2 best ever 5K times are 20:01 and 20:03....I don't think I would run near that now... 
Races are the only way truely see where you stand...
I need to get out one weekend and do a race...if even just a run not at tri...I don't know about you, but where I'm at there are not many tri's close by and I don't feel like driving 2+ hours just to do a sprint distance...
I would say close enough on both goals...next time trip the guy...

The road trip did rock. Unfortunately between travelling to Duncan the day before my digi cam was dead the way there. But I bought film and hopefully will get some cool stuff up o_O
It snowed for 7 hours of a 13 hour drive. over the canadian rockies....in may...i love this country.
I used to be a sprinter in school. Then I broke, well, shattered my knee...I rowed for a while after that...then couldn't anymore...I've been told it's best to ride a bike over walking anywhere, or swim if at all possible...
I walk everywhere, have never owned a car, or gotten my license. Meh. Strong calves!

Did my 5 mile loop in 34:24. Two minutes faster than end of last week! The goal is under 32 minutes.
I am a little stiff and sore. The first time since last year I actually done a couple workouts everyday, for the whole week! Today is the rest day, and I am starting do descend into one of my apathetic moods--not a good combination.
A descent into the malaise usually means sleeping ten hours a day, on the computer for four or five hours (with...

Time for some pasta and a few ciders, and then head into work.
I have never gone into work drunk. First time for everything.
I did go in high once.
That sucked.
I was in a good mood.
And then that guy stole the pack of smokes. A grab and run.
Mood swing!
I have been looking at old pictures. I found a couple of rolls of film and had them developed last week. I have gone digital. I miss my old film camera. With digital you do too much self editing. With the old film camera it was more spontaneous. You took a picture and had too wait a few weeks until you finally got them developed. It was like a holiday--my film is ready! Let's see what we got.

Funny that you mention the film thing. I just recovered 13 rolls of film from my mom's closet. the oldest being 6 years old I believe. Just went on an actual holiday, so I'm going to get it all developed.
I too am mostly digital. I have a really ancient pentax and a mini digital cam. I, too am on my computer 4-6 hours a day so it's just that much easier.
I'm going to have a hey-day when I get them back, up to 6 friggin years ago. Vacations, people, friends coming to visit...gah, I remember taking so many pictures.
Anywho... Just dropping one. Cos you did. ^_o

For someone with such low expectations, it is surprising how much I am continually disappointed...

The worst part about my breakage (now - worst is a time dependent term, what was worst 2weeks ago may or may not still be worst today) is that I was just starting to put on some speed in my running at distance...
My last 2 10 mile times before were a 77 and a 75 min...The other day I ran 10 miles in 82min...I should get faster not slower....I did look back and my only other 12miler I have done was 4 min longer than today's....so maybe all is not lost...
I don't think they will even let you in Kona (much less compete with the big dogs) with a 10 mile time as slow as yours...kicks you while you are down... ...poke, poke, poke
In your defense my course is about as flat as you can get with only 3 gradual (supper small and supper short) up slopes per mile...circle course - 1 mile loop...
With regard to your entry...I think you only say you have low expectations...but even so in this world it is easy to get let down....I'm a believer in my fellow man's stupidity...

I dreamt I got my ears pierced 
I gotta get my ass in gear. I wish it would warm up...

I forgot Urge Overkill was in town tonight--they just came up on my Party Shuffle.
Three showers in one day. I am actually doing my workouts.
Less then five weeks until the first major race!
I can not seem to stick to a plan. Actually, I do not even know what is the plan. I seem to use actual races as training, rather than training itself. Good thing I signed up for so many races. Perhaps by the end of August I will actually be in shape.
Here is the plan...

The above statement has been rendered un-true...I went to the pool for the first time in 6weeks(the nap thing brought on a lot of guilt)...not too bad...250yards in 5:10...a little bit slower than my usual pace, but I think that would be expected.... I did sandbag a little I could have done some more, but I think I will wait and see how my arm feels on the morrow...if it feels like shit then I will be thanking myself for not having done more...

Cool stuff, I dig the shaved head thing myself, my girlfriend hates it. So I have really no choice but to grow it back out. I did it to piss her off in the first place and was quite happy knowing that it worked.
To answer your questions:
1) Soccer is for playing not watching. I'll hoot for whichever team has the hottest girls playing, if it's guys playing I'll hoot for whichever is my home team. International soccer games have never held my attention for long enough to have a favorite team.
2) The wallpaper and goo are HALF gone! yay! It's going to be painted once I'm done, tho I probably won't be living here for long enough to see the finished product. It's going to be a greeny-taupe with black cabinets. The counter will stay the same, beige/gold marble.

I've been going through the motions here a home and I think I will hit the pool some next week to see where I stand...

I might go to the pool and do some kicking only for the next few weeks...on my bike ride yesterday hurt when I moved it certain ways...I think if I tried to swim now I might do more harm than good
