The Tain - Vol 5 - Potpourri

Dang...why did I pick the Tain as my template for these posts? Five things?!? Crap. I shoulda picked the seasons, or the Three Musketeers (yes, including D'Artagnan). How the hell am I supposed to come up with five things in one day?

Here it goes:

I went for a bike ride this morning and learned two things 1) I'm not as adventurous on my own 2) I do a horrible job of pacing myself (and cycling is the ONLY area where I have this problem). I also realize that i'm horrible about the "On Your Left!" routine since I scared an old woman into the street.

I'm excited for the "24" season finale; I'm not a die hard fan, like some people; but i can appreciate a great show. I wonder what the twist is going to be. Having watched alot of TV in my time, I will make a few predictions: 1) Jack and Marwan find out that they're actually married when they find an old wedding certificate with a typo that says "Marwan" instead of Jack's original high school sweatheart "Marian" (Scene: they're both looking at the paper, then eachother, then the camera and say "Wha?!?" in a classic "Sutherland Take") 2) This is all Jack's dream and Jack actually fell asleep on the job as a security officer at the Calgary Technical University (the other CTU). 3) Jack saves the world by challenging Marwan [and winning, of course] to an ice cream eating contest [Marwan's lactose intolerant!]; Hijinx ensues. 4) Similar to #2, for the last two hours of the 24 hours, Jack realizes he's fuckin tired and sleeps for the last two goddamn hours. Cutting edge tv as we hear Jack snoring, then the apocalypse at 23:59.
Whatever it is, it looks like 24 finally jumped the shark.

I was all proud of myself for being aware of pace while walking, and was doing a great job of it at first. But sometimes I stop paying attention and make little games for myself, like "let's see if i can span this entire square of sidewalk in one stride" I slip up once and immediately get pounced on. Geez, I'm sorry.

I am newly fond of snicker's marathon bars. They're really candy bars but because they put the words "Energy Bar" on them, it totally seems healthy. I've eaten six just today. Boy, I'm just chock-full of energy now. good night.
