Connie Nielsen is an actress most notably for me from Gladiator as Phoenix's sister Lucilla. The beauty of IMDB and WIKI together really. Did you know she hooked up with Metallica's drummer Lars Ulrich. According to wiki, she can speak 8 languages. Wow! She looks so amazing in Gladiator too.

Good input =

Since getting a sink and cooking appliances back in the kitchen, my eating habits have already improved. In combination with the cool weather, my runs and my body definitely feel better. (its really just those chia seeds!)

I had a stroke of luck today. Our ovens came with a trim piece that was metal and white. It was a floor model from Tampa, so I thought we just got suckered into a white piece since it needed to be black or stainless. So I spray painted it gloss black, but there was a crack in the paint. I thought, ughhh I really should have put some primer on it first. So to heck with it, I began to peel the paint off and lo and behold...it pulled the white paint off perfectly revealing a perfect stainless finish. Awesome!

Off to get my flu shot tomorrow and do some xmas shopping. Yo ho ho!

A chilly day

Put my legs in the pool today. Temp was about 57 degrees or so according to the pool thermometer. Ooof man that seemed cold! I couldn't keep my legs in for very long before I had to let them out. When it felt like blood flow did return to my legs a few seconds later though, howww refreshing. I did this a few times before deciding I'd had enough. This is of course after running. Was quite chilly outside today. I prolly just got warmed up by the time I was done at 40 minutes. The whole run I felt slow and out of breath. Not the best run ever, but it's prolly just the cold messing with my brain. I gotta dig up my fleece sleeves for a windy cold run that soon to come.

Hawk Attack!

Spent 5 hours with the electrician today. It was an interesting time for sure. We went to the local electric supply store to pick up some parts where he knew everyone there and kidded around with them like old friends. Then we had to go to Home Depot to pick up some more parts and turns out, he used to be manager at this Home Depot. Everywhere in the store, employees would come up to him and greet him as a long lost friend. He told me a story about how a hawk got in the store for a while and hunted all the small Starlings in the store. He also said that there was a lot of theft in the store and that often crooks would get homeless people to steal stuff for them and then pay them for their theft right across the street at Wal Greens. My electrician was also in the 82 airborne in Vietnam and manager of a plant of GM. Wow!

We also managed to get my appliances installed. Gotta get a impact dril! but yah, I can actually cook in the kitchen now. It's like ...a real kitchen! Time to make some soup damn it! Hmm well as soon as I find the stock pot anyway.

NImsod

Scoopin the glush and floppin the leafy grittle

Yikes, not as bad as a busted water main, but 4 levels of excrement is pretty bad.

Clean, clean, clean and load, load , load

Go back you can't wear crocs here silly man.
Stop at the red light _ WE SEE YOU!
Green Light, go weigh yourself, check in, spin around, yell Mo-Chaka

Behold the 2 story mountain of cardboard and plastic. I fling my cardboard like giant killer saltines.

I suck down my fish tacos watching two guys who just make me squirm.

Later I recall the image of floating above bodies as if watching in on a warm place

Think Think Think ... hmmm, how about the term Halogen Snuggles?

Serisouly, 2 eagles screeching and then a thump of squirrel body, a flash out of my peripheral( whoosh)

What!! Really an Owl? Get inside Dory, quick.

127 Hours of VD

So I actually had some alone time today since Liz and Asa went shopping with the family. What to do?!! Maybe watch 127 Hours? Maybe go run till my legs fall off? It was so nice outside today though, and what better way to feel that then to drive my old car with the sunroof down and listen to some freshly downloaded music.

I went to the BX to do some Xmas gift checking as well. It was very crowded, with what seemed like a lot of extra perfume sprayed everywhere. Ughhh! The BX just left me feeling blaahhh. I didn't find anything cool, and it just seemed to make me tired. So I went to the commissary and bought some fruit. These past couple of weeks I have barely eaten any fruit. I keep seeing pomegranates on sale too. I finally have a sink now to eat me some POM!! I think my body misses fruit....though I must admit Fudge sounds pretty dang good.

Man....that Virgin Diaries show is on right now. I can't blog anymore. This is just too distracting!

Frito Bake Man

I wrastled...you gotta say that like a snarly cowpoke.. some sprinklers today. Well I fixed one and then another one exploded, so I had to snap that guy into shape too. Got plenty wet in the process which made it a bit nippy. Earlier I went to Ace Hardware and bought these small plastic washers for the sink plumbing. Somehow I lost them and had to go back and buy them again. Grrrrrrr!!

Watched a documentary on Superheroes today. Was interesting to see how these different people with different skills and backgrounds all came into being Superheroes. It's one thing to wear a costume, but to patrol the night streets as someone not in costume, but as a Superhero? It's interesting to me how philanthropy, having fun, and personal demons fuel these passions.

Finally ate at this small cafe next to my parents house. It used to be a hair salon for years when I was growing up. The special of the day.....Frito Bake! Ha! I haven't eaten frito bake in yyeeeeaaarrrrss! They were slammed and I had to wait a while for the food, but it was worth the wait. Lots of cheese and sour creme. Yum!

I like watching my dogs sleep. Usually about this time at night (1030) , they both are just crashed and often have dreams. They look so comfy and so peaceful too. I just want to sneak up on them and squish them. hahahahaha
