a shacker posted a link to some images on flickr.

update for zombie waldo.

omg, megaman

anand's home-made megaman costume is very excellent. (repost from facebook and myspace with permission of anand.)



so far, i think this is tied with geoff's home-made he-man costume for best of 2006.

what's wrong with philadephia?

(link goes to eddie's post. also updated text.)

we're a horrible city filled with horrible people.

and look, there's even an interactive murder map! you can even sort by age and race! (would people would call me a racist if i pointed out that 211 of the 296 murders were black males? too late.)

all of us who have played simcity know that crime is a socio-economical problem and this whole murder pandemic thing will take many many many many years to correct (and full police department funding!). and there's a fuckton of causes and symptoms but no one magic silver bullet. let's see: our public schools are awful and our kids are apparently dumb. our police department is shrinking. we've got unemployment. there's guns everywhere. we have a street culture and mentality that embraces violence and police noncooperation. we have shitty civic pride, civic self esteem issues, and an inferiority complex to new york city. and our sports teams haven't won anything in forever and are downright disappointing all the time. one out of four philadelphians live below the poverty line. i also blame grand theft auto.

would more and better schools help? would more police officers help? would more jobs help? would citywide anger management and therapy help? would citywide internet help? would martial law help? would just one freaking championship help?

there's a magic affluent bubble around center city where none of those really affects those of us who live here. we read about the new daily death count online while sipping our chai teas and shake our heads before clicking on the next link blissfully ignorant of what it really means to us, if anything. meh.

the city is on fire, folks. and i can't wait for guitar hero 2.

about running

well i didn't do the philadelphia distance run half marathon two weeks ago. i was nursing a pretty bad foot sprain at the time that took about 3 weeks to clear up. i definitely trained too hard too fast. then i had a cold that kept me down for a week. it sucked; at my peak condition, i was running 9 miles outside. there's always next year.

i was able to do the parkway run 5k on 9/24 though. i placed #425 with a little over 27 minutes. wasn't my best where i got a slow start with the crowd and i ran out of gas in the final 1/2 mile. it's amazing how quickly i lose my conditioning. that was for the children though.

if you remember from last year's parkway run:



this was the same 5k that took away 4 months of my life last year. and i avenged myself and i felt a burden lifted off my shoulders.

right now i'm getting ready for the marathon relay in november. there's a team at work i volunteered to either do the 4 mile segment or the 6 mile segment, depending on who we can get.

to tune up for the marathon relay, i'll be doing the dash for democracy 5k on november 4th. that should be fun.
