its 2:06 a.m. and i'm plagued by the inability to sleep. not to mention i'm suffering from heat rash, which seems to exasperate itself whenever i attempt to lie down.

i am catching up on my blog reading, though. i've read practically everyone on my link list and then some. john painted a piece that looks like trees in a purple winter (which is kind of funny because one time we had a discussion about how it would be impressive if the weather had a tint of color so one would know how hot or cold it was outside based on this. he mentioned frigid conditions should look purple-ish in tint). polly gets to travel to the central americas to practice some nursing and use some spanish. james is moving to austin. whitney recounted past spring breaks. jordan enjoys comic books. shelli hates spring fashion. all good stuff. thanks, everyone, for entertaining me during my insomnia.

and for everyone else's reading enjoyment, i am posting my favorite list:

Things I'd rather do than go see Catwoman
by Benjamin Kharakh

- - - -

Build a sandcastle for the sole purpose of having it kicked in my face.

Fall from a reasonably high ledge.

Swallow several Legos.

Rip a dollar into three unequal pieces.

Buy an expensive pair of pants and then spill grape juice all over the crotch.

Fill out a Mad Libs and then eat it.

Have a colonoscopy.

Wake up very early and go running.

His Excellency, Pontiff Gateway XVI


i have some recollection of posting this picture a while ago. i came across it today and laughed as usual, so i decided to post it again. the holy miter is actually a vacuum cleaner filter for our dust buster, and the righteous robe is a dishtowel.

kristen compston gave me the thumbs up on running a marathon with me*, so i've been researching anything and everything about it. there's so much more planning than i would have guessed, including preparation for weight training, post-running routines, and psychological issues.

this is where is get my info: http://www.marathontraining.com/index.html

*kristen will run assuming that her knee doesn't die in the process.
