I got up at 6 am and drove into San Francisco with the family to do the Run to the Far Side in Golden Gate Park (I waved virtually at the Zmayhems and DebG, since we were in the neighborhood). Quite a production for a 3-mile run, I have to admit. But now I have a spiffy t-shirt with a Far Side cartoon on it.
There were lots of great costumes, including the entire bus of dogs from the comic "Dogs Go to Work". And a "Meaties" box, with the dinosaur about to eat the fat kid.
I ran with my 13-year-old niece, which was great until the end -- at the finish line they channel you into lanes so they get your time right. And she decided to change lanes at the very last minute, cut me off, and I tripped and fell down and knocked down the stanchion and her too. Lots of fun, but no real damage.
I need to run more often. Juliana, if you're still running, there's a half-marathon in GG Park on Superbowl Sunday...
On edit: Silly me, I forgot to say hi to everyone, particularly Nilly. ::waves::
Timelies all!
Just got back from Darkover convention.It was basically a relaxicon with music for me. I am very tired, though...
I'm recovering from my birthday with a bloody mary at the bar. In addition to my beautiful black iPod, my girlfriends, Linz znd Sarah, got me a silver necklace from Tiffanys. There may have been tears at the sight of the little blue box. They also tried to surprise me with FE.
What should I do?
Watch Toy Story 2?

Emmett and I are back from playing tennis, playing catch, stopping at the French bakery for a Quiche Lorraine and a PERFECT almond croissaint. Now we're back at home watching the 18th consecutive hour of Zim. All Zim all the time.
Also I have discovered a brilliant new plan to vary my turkey sandwiches. Serve them on toast! Bow before Zim! the sandwich!
We're supposed to get the laundry together but despite my fervent efforts at telekinesis it refuses to assemble itself while I jam turkey sandwiches into my face.
If you figure it out, give me the heads-up, bunky.ETA: But I have had a turkey sandwich and a haircut so I figure as far as you're concerned, decent Sunday, right?
Vacuumed the house and came to work to move furniture and put up holiday decorations (unpaid, bah humbug). Not tons of fun so far. But I will be having turkey for dinner and Deadwood DVDs to watch, so the best is yet to come.
Yes! Another of the earworm song I couldn't identify bites the dust, as I just tracked down "The Groove Line" by Heat Wave. I think for years I'd been mis-hearing the last line of the chorus as "We put the groove out tonight," preventing me from actually finding the song with a lyrics search.

No sandwich should taste this delicious!
I need to forage for dinner, myself. I'm thinking I'ma order in tonight. Indian, perhaps. Mmm. Yes. Lamb Korma. And naan!
Mmmmm, naan.

This cold is kicking my butt. I have mostly been asleep or hopped up on cold meds. (Sometimes both at once.) Noe I am trying to do laundry, because the pile is threatening to take over.
