your ex-lover is dead

Source: (http://www.arts-crafts.ca/stars/songs/setyourselfonfire/yourexloverisdead.swf)

i heard this song last night and it's still in my head... i ended up listening to it a few times at work today.

this song has a strange hold on me. i suppose there's relevence.


God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
In that instant it started to pour,
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across pont champlain
And all of the time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name...

Given that EA has dedicated a specific group to Revolution development, it stands to reason that the game will take advantage of the console's unique capabilities. While many details will have to wait until E3 kicks off, GameSpot was given an advanced scouting report which said that the gameplay will make extensive use of the Revolution controller's motion-sensing capabilities.

Players will hike the ball by mimicking a quarterback receiving the ball from the center, and then pass it to a receiver by making a throwing gesture with the free-hand controller. The faster the passing motion, the more of a bullet pass it becomes (in previous Madden editions, bullet passes were made by holding the passing button down longer).

Kicking the ball will be accomplished by sweeping the controller up as if it were a kicker's leg striking the ball. A fast, level swing will make for a hard, straight kick.

The Revolution controller will also come into play when running the ball, as jerking the controller left or right will make the ball-carrier juke to either side, while shoving it straight ahead will make him stiff-arm the opposition.

5k training

run twice a week, total distance 6-8 miles.

if i run twice in a week outdoors, everything gets really sore so i usually don't do that. just once a week is fine for me.

outdoors: 2.2 miles up the parkway to fountain drive and then back. i usually just jog this because it's usually so nice and relaxing. i'm aiming to be able to do this in less than 45 minutes though. 4.4 miles.

indoors: 20 minutes running on a high incline treadmill and then a 20 minutes fast run on a moderate incline. i hate treadmills though; it's so boring and i'm afraid i'll fall off if i keep my eyes on the tv too long. this is roughly 3.5 to 4 miles. i've never lasted the whole 20 minute fast run though.

i'm hoping for a better time at the university city 5k. it's got a really interesting route that i've never run before. i think i liked last year's route better where they went from drexel u to roughly city hall and turned back around.

i have no explanation for why i do this to myself.

NEW YORK (AP) -- ABC will launch a global interactive game based on the hit TV show "Lost," the network announced Monday.

Details, however, are about as mysterious and convoluted as the plot of the island castaway drama. The "Lost Experience" will be Internet-based and will feature a parallel story line that is not part of the TV show.

It will begin May 2 in the United Kingdom, May 3 in the U.S. and May 6 in Australia. There is no winning prize, but the experience will offer clues that could unlock some of the island's many secrets.

"It's like a giant, worldwide mysterious jigsaw puzzle that will come to life for all the world to solve," Mike Benson, senior vice president of marketing for ABC Entertainment, said in a statement.

What is known about the challenge is that it includes the introduction of new characters and the mysterious Hanso Foundation. The first clue requires finding a toll-free number that will be released during the show or commercial breaks.

Clues will vary by continent, so participants will benefit from coordinating their information. ABC said the game is designed to appeal to both fans and people unfamiliar with "Lost."
