In a break from my Derby Coverage viewing I went to the local library where I ran into a friend who mentioned in the course of conversation that the guy who plays the convict ex husband of the annoying nurse with the little boy whose name I cannot remember also played the junkie in Pitch Black and I checked the IMDB and sure enough there is an actor from Pitch Black who has also been in er.

I intended to watch er this week, but it didn't engage me and I wound up watching Texas Ranch House instead.

Well, Boots weighs the same as she did a month ago, so everything's fine.(Had a little trouble wrangling her into the carrier, but that's not too odd)

I thought I wanted to take a long walk in teh gorgeous weather. My body decided it wanted a 2 hour nap.

I feel better though.

Now I really need to do errands. So, a short walk, I guess.

Frank, no

Thanks! The one thing I've been pissed at Next...Star about is that they bumped the new Iron Chef season. Glad it's back.

So - thanks for the thanks, Cass, but it was actually Brenda that helped you out in regards to freecycle. Still, very cool to be mistaken for Brenda!

Thanks, brenda!

Famke is a looker.

Came home from teaching and gymming and buying comics and workout clothes (running has informed me that at least one of my sports bras isn't doing its job any more--and I've pledged to replace each one with the DKNY sports bra, so I also need to do that soon) to pretty pictures in my inbox that I must sort and upload.

Having had a Lush bath with tea and chocolate cupcakes, I wonder if I'll make it to the post office before it closes. Don't want to move anymore.

Maybe I'll promise myself I'll wear something fetching. That might make me leave the house.

Maybe.

That was a beautiful race. I started tearing up when Barbaro made his move.

And why are none of my friends at home when I want to talk?

Sumi! Details!

I just got home, and BH doesn't have info up yet.

(Yeah, yeah, for someone who doesn't officially follow the races any more, I'm still pretty invested. I just don't *watch* them. On TV. MumblemumbleMSNBCOTOH...)

He ran a perfect race. Well, apparently he stumbled a bit at the start.

He was the favorite all day which made me worried and then just before they got into the gate Sweetnorthernsaint became the favorite.

Keyed Entry made the early speed. (They ran the half in 46, I think.)

He was just behind the frontrunners and was asked to run at the top of the stretch and just moved. He won by 6.

Bluegrass Cat was second and Steppenwolfer was 3rd. There was a deadheat for 4th between Brother Derek and I can't remember who.

Time was 2:01 and change.
