Mish-mash time

I have to start out by saying that I totally called it about "Lost" - Sun and Jin DID conceive on the island.   But, this leads me to my next question - why, oh, why, does she have to face imminent death after going through the hell of IF???  That is just too twisted and demented and now leads me to believe that none of the writers are IF'ers.   Because if I was writing this show, I'd say that Sun got pregnant on the island, then went on to have healthy fraternal girl/boy twins. Afterwards, Sun and Jin and their two perfect babies find a huge mansion on the island to live in which holds everything they ever dreamed of including their own personal spa!!   Seriously, though, as far as the plot progression goes, I'm thinking that of course Juliette will find some miracle cure for Sun...

Ok, onwards to my real life, which is not so unlike "Lost" in certain ways.   I've been trying to up my running, or should I say keep up with my running now that the heat has kicked into higher gear down here in the South.  It's not so much the heat that bothers me, as the humidity and blazing sun.   I'm lying, it's actually all three of those factors combined :)   I did not make my goal of running 30 miles this month, but at least I got 2/3rds of the way there, so that isn't too shabby.   I'm also considering joining a running clinic that meets three times a week and helps you meet and attain your goals.   The clinic starts in June and I figure if anything will get me heat conditioned, paying someone to whip my butt into shape and motivate me to excercise in sweltering temperatures will do so.

I went out on Sat night with a couple of friends to see a band that some of my co-workers are in.   They were really good - an R&B/funk vibe complete with brass horns section.   One of the co-workers was really interesting to watch, as he is in a more senior/authoritative position in the company, so it was quite the sight to see him jamming out on his bass guitar and bopping along with the music!!   On Sunday, Kyle and I logged in some beach hours - he was studiously reading his school book, while I was taking in some important heady magazine articles.. .actually, it was "Self" but it's very environmentally friendly, so whatever..

Oh and apparently it's "turn off the television week" at our place, because the DLP lamp in our TV burnt out.   Not only that but the lamp is on back order with the manufacturer for weeks, so it's seeming as if everyone that bought this model two years ago must be in the exact same predicament.  But, thanks to the wonderment that is Ebay, we should be receiving a new lamp in a week or so.. it actually is kind of nice to have the peace and quiet but the Stanley cup finals are on, so it's bad timing for that!
