Apparently, its your shoes' fault.  This is what actually drew me to the book.  I was listening to a podcast where they were discussing the fact that running injuries have increased since the advent of modern running shoes (although I would like to see those actual statistics), despite the quarterly releases of shoes with better and better "motion control" and gel stabilizers and whatever.  I've trained barefoot in Tae Kwon Do for the last 11 years, which has had my feet in pretty good shape generally, but I've rolled my ankles twice in the last year while running in sneakers.

Oh, I heard Terry Groce interview that guy.  It was fascinating.  Basically he said you need to lean your body weight forward while you run, so that it's almost like you're falling forward and you just catch yourself with your legs.  I've been trying it out, but it's hard to tell a difference.

Do you know how disappointed I was when I found out she wasn't insanely gorgeous?

If you know, then you know infinity, because I was that disappointed.

In my mind, the "Fresh Air" lady was the hottest librarian of all.

This is how bleeding-heart liberal I am. I had a crush on the lady from "Fresh Air".

I feel your pain.  Although I still think she's kinda hot, in the sort of geeky way that I like.  But hey, hella sexy voice and she is without a doubt the best interviewer I've ever heard.

I had to Google her name because I remember seeing a photo of her before and thought she was quite unattractive.  I think she kinda looks like Woody Allen.

Also, Annie Leibovitz looks pretty much exactly like Brent Spiner as he looked for his small part in ID4.

I don't say this to be mean to a very culturally important photographer.

I say this simply because it is uncanny.

i think i can make a place in my cold, withered heart for greenkoolayd, based on that last post alone.
keep impressing me or it'll be curtains for you, noob.

tonight i cooked paella for 60 for a dinner party with 30 expected where 20 showed up, including "hey come over" last minute-invites. i fear i will be eating rice and chicken and sausage and shrimp and mussels for far too many days henceforth.

I'm going to pretend you used one of those giant paella pans that's like 6' in diameter.

Mull the whole day over that I should have probably been a little bit more... physically assertive on the son of a bitch rapist whom I caught assaulting this one girl yesterday night (As soon as I arrived running on the spot he leapt to his dingy bike and pedaled away, while I was checking if the girl was ok - she was, only scared and a bit roughened up, disheveled clothes, that sort of thing).

It's not the practical concern about clipping the wings of a rapist on the loose that bothers me (in this hood, you really don't need to worry about certain things: as more people started noticing the fracas, a lynch patrol was quickly organized to pursue the guy - in cars and motorbikes - and if he's not dead by now then he sure is wishing he was). It's just a slight discomfort at not being quite ready to speak with my fists when the time calls for it as I like to imagine myself to be*. Adding to the complication, I'm pretty sure that if I had detained the guy for a couple seconds more there, I'd be fuck*ng directly responsible for his lynching/murdering, and I don't need that shit. On the other hand... Fuck. Fuck it, I fumbled my Batman day that's what I'm trying to say. I don't think my type of people gets a lot of those, so sad face-> =(

* - However, if he was still clinging to the girl when I got there, I'm pretty sure the story would have been very different - and way uglier.

cort it's over 2' in diameter and i have a giant paddle. i'll post a link to the missus's blog about it (pics!) once she types up her article

[JorgeFabregas]

Wow! The missus must be impressed.

i respect you's that post here, so it wouldnt be terrible to be 'one of the guys'.

on an unrelated note, i watched 'Step Brothers' last night.  i laughed so hard that i almost crapped my #####.  thats neither a metaphor,  nor sarcasm.

we need a word for when the post and sig match so perfectly

Man, the idea of reheated shrimp and mussels makes me throw up a little in my mouth.
