I just asked Jon Voigt to move outta way so I could get to the rest room.

Ha, I was watching him on my television last night (National Treasure).

Dude, I've been in Minearverse too much, I was expecting to see a toddler on a picket line.

Me too.

Is is SO cold out there! My run went ok, except for the very small stretch of the path where it was a little slippery. Why that part of the path was trying to ice over and none of the rest of the path was at all icy I do not know. I was careful on that section. The rain didn't bother me, either, since it was mostly spitting. My rain shell was quite wet however!

Now I am home, frozen. I'm trying to warm up a little, then shower and off for yummy food!

I wasn't as fast today. Started strong, but wavered in the middle. I'm sure race day (next week!) will be way more fun, since I'll have other stuff to entertain me. I didn't run with music today, partly as practice for races and partly because I need a new MP3 player, and I'm sure that kept my motivation waning.

I love hearing about everyone's Christmas traditions!

So last night's Feminist Majority celebration was amazing. I can't believe I got to hear Gloria Steinem and Ellie Smeal speak! My heroes!!! There were a lot of other amazing speakers and celebrities, but Gloria and Ellie were the high points. They were gracious and funny and passionate and brilliant and so very dedicated to continuing to make a difference to the women of the world. I'm still a little breathless think about it. The night ended with a local girls' choir singing "I Am Woman." Wow.

On a Bitchly side note, Margaret Cho did a hysterical bit about her Hitachi Magic Wand. Kathy Najimy made my cry with laughter, too, but Cho did a Magic Wand sound impression and said, "Are you masturbating or sanding the floor?" Too funny.

ETA: Oh, and one of my favorite parts of Gloria's speech was when she described how Ms. magazine has been wanting to do a fold-out clitoral map (to show how much of the clitoris exists below the surface) for years.

what did you wear?

Nothing all that great--just a lacy dress thing with a black top. Worked okay.

P-C, I was working the press junket for National Treasure 2, so it seems fitting you were watching NT1.

Ha! I really liked National Treasure, and now I want to see the sequel. It's fun stuff.

I just watched the trailer for National Treasure 2 it's looks like a lot more wacky fun.

Holy shit!

I can lift my arm all the way up to shoulder level!
