running update: ouch my foot :(

my foot sprain has been acting up on me the past few days. i think i might be out to the boundary of my physical mileage per week without injuring myself even more. it sucks but i think i'll have to wait to heal this injury after the half marathon.

i took it 'easy' today by putting in 90 hard minutes on the elliptical machine. i got to work on my conditioning without all of the impact of outdoor running.

snakes on a plane

wow, that went above my expectations. would've liked more samuel l jackson versus giant snake end-boss fight climax though.

snakes + the neck = the reptilian win.

write it down

9 grueling miles in 89 degree heat. i don't ever remember being this exhausted.

gob!

glad to see him working.

i've made a huge mistake..

about running

so i had that scare with a stress fracture a while ago that was really a foot sprain that took me out for about two weeks.

since then i've been training for the philadelphia distance run half marathon. i think i'm where i want to be right now as far as conditioning. i've stepped it up to running three times a week with a disciplined program where i run shorter but faster-paced runs twice a week on a treadmill and i do a longer distance run outdoors once a week. so far i've been doing really well on it. this week, i'll be doing treadmill runs of 47 and 57 minutes and i hope to get to 9 miles outdoors on sunday.

one thing that becomes really important at these distances is taking care of your rehydration needs. i was going through tons and tons of gatorade every week until i ordered a few month's worth of gatorade powder online at the gatorade online store. the better you replace your sodium and potassium and lost nutrients, the faster your body recovers. or so their commercials and sports hydration specialists tell me.

also important is proper running apparel. like running socks. and compression shorts. yeah. seriously.

only one month left to go.

xbox, don't leave me like that again

i got my xbox 360 hard drive today in the mail and snapped it on and everything booted up fine and stuff.

selected the profile recovery option to download my profile and stuff. waited a few minutes. profile downloaded and loaded and signed back into xbox live. a fellow goon sent me a message asking me if i wanted to graw.

yeah, it's like that on live. good times.

now i'm just re-downloading all of my games that i bought (hearts, geometry wars, and the graw expansion) and demos (dead rising)...


p.s. my rage against ups burns with the fire of a thousand suns. it actually arrived in philadephia on sunday morning, held it all monday, and finally delivered it today (tuesday). a thousand suns, i say!

i remember doing this in grand theft

well, not so much.

things like this make me sick

Sometime between Friday night and Sunday morning, burglars broke into the headquarters of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation in Ardmore and stole money, wristbands - and bottles of lemonade.

"You can't get more despicable than that," said Haverford Township Detective George Christake.

A security camera captured the dark, grainy image of four juveniles as they climbed onto a van parked at a loading dock behind the building, hopped onto the roof, tore off the window screens, and broke into the office of the organization.

The foundation was named for Alex Scott, the 8-year-old who died of neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer, on Aug. 1, 2004, but launched a national fund-raising campaign for cancer research.

Once the burglars were inside, they pried open locked file cabinets looking for money. What they found was a jar of coins and a small amount of cash that children had dropped off Friday night from a lemonade stand fund-raiser.

When the burglars left, they also took bottles of lemonade and rubber wristbands that read, "One cup at a time."

more like sexbox 360, am i right?

Monopoly money will be phased out in a new version of the game in a bid to keep up with the times.

Instead players will use mock Visa debit cards to keep track of how much money they are winning or losing.

An electronic machine is provided, which allows the banker to transfer money from players and record their earnings and payments.

philly to boy scouts: plz gtfo

The Boy Scouts of America will fight to stay in the city-owned building they have occupied since 1928, saying the City of Philadelphia has no right to force them to change their policy barring gay members.

"The scouts intend to stand up for their constitutional rights," said Robert Bork Jr., a spokesman for the national organization, which has a youth membership of about 2.9 million.

"The policy [against gays] is not going anywhere," Bork added.

Late last week, Mayor Street called for the local Cradle of Liberty Council to denounce the national policy, pay fair-market-value rent, or vacate the stately building it occupies at 22d and Winter Streets, near the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.

i'm not in the business of subsidizing intolerance and discrimination with my city wage tax dollars so i agree with the stfu+gtfo.

sadly there's poor boy scouts that are unwillingly caught in the losing end of this that won't be able to camp, trail hike, tie knots, or do whatever the hell they do. i guess next year's cub scounts won't know what it would be like to discriminate against other people rent-free on public property. definitely breaks my heart.

really cool movie trailer

hey scott

geometry wars: 198,405

movie review: a scanner darkly

it came out in limited release this weekend so i saw it last night at the ritz. overall, it's not a great movie nor a bad movie; it kind of settles in that nook of a movie that didn't meet its full potential. at the same time, it's supposed to be super-authentic to the book's word and spirit. it's confusing and disorienting, but that's what it's supposed to be. i think the saddest part of this movie is that there's numerous scenes in the movie that are unbelievable but they don't sum up to an unbelievable movie. keanu reeves, robert downey jr, woody harrelson, wynona rider are so well cast in the movie and fit their parts so perfectly.

ign posted the first 24 minutes of the film, which i think is really cool and hope to see more commonplace.

i have to wonder

who actually reads my filth without knowing me in real life.

i'm just wondering who my audience is.

end of the world, guys

between israel versus the entire middle east, paris hilton swearing off sex for a year, valve announcing team fortress 2, pepsi helping coke out, and asians break dancing... i think the world is coming to an end.

and the sad part is that i probably won't see halo 3.

half marathon

adam convinced me to run the half-marathon this september. why? because i'm an idiot and i like inflicting pain to myself. and adam's a bastard too.

my maximum range right now is about 5.4 miles outdoors. i had been training on the treadmill for 5k speed for the past few months but i guess i have to switch over to endurance training now. i still train on high inclines and will probably keep doing so for the strength.

i'm hoping to increase my range to 10 miles over the next 6 weeks.

no one knows

this song has been known to kick my ass in medium.

expert looks insane.

update: this guy posted a bunch of expert vids

summer party is on hold, folks

looks like they're shutting down the community room because public house is moving into that space. seriously. a fine dining establishment in my building. wtf. hey, if there's a bar down there, i'm game.

the good news is that they're building a new community room in.... the basement. once they get that squared away, we'll be sure to be one of the first parties down there. i'm guessing fall.

the fall party is the new summer party.
