And P-C, if you're around, I met Mira Grant and got Feed signed (because the guy giving out the next one said I needed to read Feed first), and said, "My friend [P-C] has said incredible things about this book," and she beamed, and said, "YOU KNOW [P-C}?! Awesome!"

Aw, awesome! I didn't realize you were both at the same thingy! I hope you like the book!

I am sad that we've said goodbye to Spirit. What a good little rover.

I skipped to the end recklessly to say Buffistas are awesome, as usual, and I saw FOUR of them today, which was pretty cool.

I had dinner with Brenda! And what we lacked in numbers (being only 2 and not 5), we made up for in sheer AWESOME. And dog talk.

I am sad that we've said goodbye to Spirit. What a good little rover.

Me too. What an amazing journey! Sad it's over.

5K

Someone please explain this undoubtedly obvious thing to me. It doesn't mean 5 thousand miles... what's the "K"?

Kilometers, Zenkitty--it's a little over 3 miles.

It doesn't mean 5 thousand miles... what's the "K"?

Kilometers. For some reason footraces are in increments of 5K (3 miles), 10K (6 miles), half-marathons (13 miles), and marathons (26 miles).

Unless it's on a track, in which case it's the 100m, 200m, 1,000m, 1500m, 5,000m, and so forth.

No, it doesn't make much sense.

Oh, of course it is! Thanks!

I might be able to walk 3 miles. I looked at Couch-to-5k but it seems so complicated...

Oh, god.

Saint Bernard farts. Heaven help me.

8 teachers at my school have been let go. That's a DAMN lot.

Ugh Kat, that is just so angry-making. I think for me right now, that's one of the most disheartening things about the district, watching it bleed good teachers as they get laid off and class sizes get bigger.

I would like to do a 5K if it weren't for the pesky running part. I don't know why, I hate running. It seems so frigging healthy, I really should try to get over it.

Do you think they're hiring Street View drivers? Or rather Crater View?
