April is out! Happy Birthday to my mum! You're such a great mummy!
I didn't get much running in for April, but I did increase my ave mile to 4.4 which is the highest it's been in 9 months, so I'm happy with that. And I've thrown in swimming and biking too which is fun and fresh. Running after riding is different than just running. Obviously theres some inital muscle WTF, but it's something more. I almost seem to breathe better and have a more constant rhythm in my head. I wonder if it's due to my HR being lower while biking first.
Who knows, it may all even out at some point, but for now it's refreshing.
I am done with redoing the ceiling in the bedroom. I am sooo freaking happy that's over. I don't want to do another ceiling for at least 2 months. hahahahaha Seriously, at least 2. (raises eyebrows and points fingers)
The Beezer has left and it was a good visit. We got to hang out and drink some beer whilst eating some fine grilled meats prepared by my masterful self. We even managed to catch a flicker show. Cabin In The Woods! While not amazing, it was a fun slasher flick. I mean the plot twist was clever, and the comedy of say Aqua man was funny ( and gross) but let's get to the meat of the matter. Zombies and Stoners. They should make a movie like that. Just cheech and chong scared out of their minds and zombies. It would be cultishly funny I think.
Prometheous is bearing down upon the feverish cinematic hungers of the rabid Alien fanbase. Will it be rated R or PG13! AHHHHHHHHHHH That's the hot topic it seems. The latest International trailer shows us the blue vagina cobra as its being called. Some say it's cute! I kinda have to agree. I just keeping hoping the movie will be good. As Noomi says in the trailer, "PLLEEEEZZZEE!!" I'll be there opening night to find out.

Postis with the mostis
The Beezer comes to town tomorrow. Hmmmmm.
My cell phone is dead. At least I'm pretty sure it is. I've removed the sim card and battery a couple of times, dropped it some, and yelled at it. It just doesn't want to connect to the network now for a couple of days. So I guess I'll be moving forward in the tech world. Will I get a smart phone though? Hmmm prolly not.
I went crazy yesterday and rode 6 miles, ran 3 miles, and swam ~200 yards. The swimming portion was stupid slow though. You gotta understand, gerbils swim faster than me. But it felt very good. It had been 10 days since I ran, and I kept having to slow myself down. Was all good though, and today no crazy issues.

Birthdays and fixies
Happy Birthday to my dad! Keep on truckin mister!
Got my mountain bike back from Dragon yesterday. Finally donated my old Nashbar to Goodwill. That was a good bike! Now I'm wanting a new nashbar, only it's a fixed gear bike, or fixie. Unfortunately, the model I was looking at is out until August. So perhaps I'll just actually ride my mountain bike on some rougher terrain since I finally got my stupid Permit for the Timberlake Rec area. (Remember when we got lost man?!!)
I never mentioned that two weekends ago, I went to Chuck E Cheese for a birthday party. If you ever want to scare someone into not having a kid, take them there. Like 15 birthday parties all crammed into one area with a big mouse rapping and kids screaming. It was insanity. They stamp numbers on your hands when you come in that only show under blacklight. This is so that no one can leave with your child. Explaining that one is always kinda odd. But man, we musta caught some crud of the plague there. It's been a constantly morphing sickness train last two weeks, from stomach to bowel. 2012 is becoming a year of sickness!
Yay my ankle seems fine after a ride yesterday. I spent most of my time riding in a certain gear or two, even up the tiny hills we have here. Thing is, I like coasting. It's fun. A fixie may not be for me.

Angry Ankle
Bike is at Dragon Sports for tune up.
My left ankle decided on Monday to revolt for apparently no reason. All exercise has come to a halt. This has made my new Sugoi bike/run shorts sad.
Was feeling ill the other day, so I consumed large pizza quantity for energy.
Finally Game of Thrones has revealed Brienne of Tarth! She rocks!

Mulligan Sanders
I watched Never Let Me Go tonight on a whim. Jeez what a whim. What a downer movie! Carey Mulligan is so awesome though. The ending with her standing by a field and talking about how meaningless it all seems at times, is just sooo sad. Guuuuh!!!
Got 2 kiddie birthdays this weekend. Eyes wide!
Working on bedroom ceiling again. It was non stop sanding of the ceiling earlier in the week and it's official, sanding ceiling is the worst. Why do I now own two orbital sanders and 3 shop vacs?

Seriously Dead
Riding in my old neighborhood today. Things have gotten a little older and a little rougher round the edges for sure.
I saw a big calico cat squeeze itself into a smallish street drain today. Those kitties can compress when needed. Later I scared a drunk guy walking on the sidewalk. Then I couldn't help but notice this obese woman dressed in bright blue from head to toe. It was like a sweatsuit I think. She had her hair twisted up and was reading a book while walking a small yorkie. Then I saw a Corgi in a driveway. Then I witnessed a 500 pound woman in her front yard crying. At first she was crying and talking, but it soon intensified to moaning and wailing. Another woman was in front of her with her hand on her hip and a posture that said 'impatience'. I found it to be very sad. Later, I saw a couple fighting on their porch. The woman was bent forward and you could see her teeth and neck muscles flexed all vibrating behind a pointed and curved finger. Later, I turned a corner and saw a buzzard on the ground. I headed straight for it and it flew up carrying something dead like a large squirrel but when I passed the spot, it smelt of seriously dead fish. Ughhh! Finally, I thought I was being attacked by a wild Jack Russell Terrier, but this little black and white JRT just wanted to sprint right next to me for 50 yards or so. It was fun, but he scared me at first since he seemed like he was going to cross in front of me. Wild JRT attack!

An exercise
There she is, made of corroded metal scraps
slinging bolts, bits, and sexy vectors of red
a stomping, clashing squall of crushing seduction
that bleeds you willingly
there's the hand
there's the turn of the head
chest out and down
watch the normal world peel away
what should I say
what could I have said
this is what I will do
no, it's all too broken
it's all poisoned to the core
I just lay there zooming in and out
rolling the distaste around in my mouth
at least it isn't black licorice
fists clenched, raging teeth
the matrix of everything hateful
glistening on his oily black flesh
ooooh blaaaahhhh I was trying to write a little something for each song I was hearing. Yah, not feeling it.
here are some kinda bland pics, minus Dory's little goofy self that were just an exercise of sorts.

Bean Dip Buttocks
Had a pretty killer weekend. Yeah baby..kill-errrr. haha Am I too old to use such a word? Seems wrong in text. But hey, it WAS killer. Melting Pot, Hunger Games movie, swimming, lots of tasty liquors, a bean dip that was insanely good cuz I don't know why, and the season opener of Game of Thrones. I even busted out the mountain bike for a quick little 10 mile run through the neighborhood.
So Hunger Games the movie. I was pleased! Very pleased with how they adapted it to the screen. They didn't glam up the relationships like I thought they would. It was great to see Lawrence give Katniss some dimension that the book couldn't quite portray. The only thing I would've changed was all the shaky cam work in the beginning. That was a bit much. How often do I get to read a book and then see the movie days later?!! Very cool!
It's been since last June that I rode my bike and man, those bike muscles were like whoah dude! Slow down! My butt-tocks were dying afterwards. Anyway, I figured I'd give my calves/shins somewhat of a rest for a couple of days since they continue to be little wussies. I finished up March with 70 miles which is great since I dipped down to 30 in Feb. However, I didn't get in any real long runs this month like I had hoped. Hoping I can get to that in this April-ness.
Speaking of running long distances, congrats to a certain blog reader for his PR in the Knoxville Marathon this weekend. You had some obstacles for sure, but I'm certain they will only propel you forward in your next endeavor!
Liz had surgery today in her sinus cavity. Luckily they didn't have to break her septum to reset it, so she didn't get smashed by hammer face. Although her uvula ( thats the little dingle berry in the top of your throat) looks like it was put in a vice. Ooof!
I had bloodwork done last week and my HDL came up to 37 which is good considering it was 24 last time I had it done. Still could be higher. Need to up those fish oil pills perhaps. And I now I have a prostate baseline! Ha! You wanted to know this didn't you! But seriously, the bloodwork is the way to do it now. You don't need the pokey pokey to find out!
