the office

that season finale was pretty sublime. creed's blog is kinda rad too.

Today in my office where I work as Director of Quality Assurance, we went to the beach for some reason that was never adequately explained. When we were there, our manager told us to eat hot coals. I thought that was a little bit untoward so I ate a fish. Then a woman I have literally never seen before in my entire life started talking very loudly about something involving Halpert. She was agitated, I’d say. From what I could guess, she was definitely on drugs of some kind, perhaps cocaine, or maybe ‘drines. Also, she is a knock-out. She reminds me of a young Daphne Du Maurier. Also, I stupidly ate the fishbones. I told myself “never again” after the last time, but then you turn around, and bam, they’re in my mouth. I also ate 55 hot dogs in 15 minutes, which is a world record.
you can relive the final minutes here and be all :D. and this is from a goon.

We said Fall 2007, but did you expect Halo 3’s release date to be just two days into the Fall? On September 25, 2007 (just two days after the Autumnal Equinox), players will be able to finish the fight they started in Halo: Combat Evolved and continued in Halo 2. Halo 3 will release in Europe on September 26, 2007. Worldwide dates may vary slightly depending on local rules and conditions.

fuck your tickets, move on up and get closer

when win said that after "black mirror", entire rows in the back of the theater vacated into the aisles and turned the arcade fire concert into a small block party in front of the stage (glad there wasn't a fire marshal present).

win: "i love philadelphia. only city where you can park in the middle of the street. right in the middle of the fucking street."

fan yelling out: "it's more convenient!"

holy shit, it was a fantastic show. the national opened for them and they were also very good. check them out.

ovarian cancer race results

46  10/47    24:01  7:44

this race was advertised as flat and fast... totally not true. it was curvy and hilly. i did pretty well until mile 2; i crossed mile 2 at 15:30 but i completely fell apart like a chinese bicycle not too long into it. overall, i still finished at 24 minutes which i'm pretty happy about. i think i could've definitely taken it down to 23:30 if i had more steam going into the last half mile.

4.88k

Source: (http://pub30.bravenet.com/forum/2500995625/show/1043265)

some drama in the philly runners message board that i didn't really run a 24:21 5k this past weekend:

Using Sheila's assumed course length of 390 feet short, the course was 16014.1944 feet instead of 16404.1944 feet (5280 feet per mile, 5K=3.106855 miles). Therefore, racers ran 97.6225593% of a 5K (short course divided by 5K), a 4.881127965 K.

To extrapolate your time for a 5K, multiply your time by 1.024353395 (5K / short course). First, convert your time into seconds, multiply by above, then convert back.

24:56 would be my extrapolated time.

incoming paradox

Emilio's mother, Catarina Gonzales, on the other hand, is fighting to keep her son on the ventilator, allowing him to die "naturally, the way God intended."
i also found this quite ironic:
The law, signed in 1999 by then-Gov. George W. Bush, gives Texas hospitals the authority to stop treatment if doctors say the treatment is "inappropriate" -- even if the family wants the medical care to continue.
and then we have the bush of today, "The children here today are reminders that every human life is a precious gift of matchless value." delicious.
