I can walk a 5K easily. I do that almost every day. Sadly, that hasn't led to any weight loss. Hence running.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sign up for this one with me! We can run/walk it together. You get a jacket and tons of chocolate!
CRAP. I totally would, but that's the day of my niece's 2nd birthday party!

Scariest American haunted houses.
Wow. On the one hand, those fascinate me. They sound amazing!
On the other hand, I'm not even clicking the embedded videos to see the ads for them, because I am easily startled, freaked out, and scared. Aaaaand I'm going to Halloween Horror Nights one night we're in L.A. I may never sleep again.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I am now 0-for-2 in finding black pumps at Easy Spirit. I asked about 6 or 7 different shoes, and only 1 was available in my size. It was too tight. (My size is 6 1/2 D, or 6 1/2 W at Easy Spirit. And if the shoe is too pointy in the toe, it won't fit. I hate my feet.)
On the other hand, I picked up a travel sized tube of Photo Finish. While I was in Sephora I saw something that I decided to buy for a friend who I was going to see next weekend at a con. Alas, she isn't able to come after all, so I need to see if there's someone who can bring it back to her.

I will make sure you have excellent handlers traveling through the mazes with you.

Huh. There's a new show that's like Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, except they renovate schools. I'm uncertain about it so far. The stuff they're doing is good, but almost all of it is stuff that shouldn't have to rely on private donations at all. And they're redoing a science classroom and lab, but they haven't said yet whether they're going to provide anything for restocking the supplies.

Thank you? I think? Because I know this statement could have a couple of different meanings.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I did a couch-to-5k thing. It went pretty well and I was in much better shape at the end of it. Then I slacked off and rejoined it the next year. I think I ended up doing it three times, and stopped when I wrenched the hell out of my ankle. On a walk. Now I'm hitting the stationary bike instead.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I can't believe I'm celebrating a $550 outlay, but it's a $1500 savings, so you know, I'll take it.
Any chance you can take advantage of the delayed opt-in thingy and not lay out the cash? You know, have the paperwork and only send it in if you end up needing the insurance during that window.
(I realize that you of all people cannot assume you will not be needing your medical insurance, but since you can pay COBRA retroactively there isn't a risk if you're still in that window and you need to use it.)
ION, sister is not yet in surgery she is still in pre-op. Turns out her surgeon is behind schedule. Surgeon! Take your time! Seriously, do what you need to do with the patient you have, take whatever break you need -- sis is dosed to the gills and waiting comfortably. The fam can sit here freaking out for a while.
