If you have not seen the movie Once, I urge you, I implore you: rent it. I wish I had seen it in the theater, but I missed it. But finally it came in my Netflix this week. My mom and I watched it tonight.
The story is so simple and [...]

Wednesday night marked my return to speed work. If I am going to finish a marathon, and finish it faster than I did the last time I attempted one, speed work is, unfortunately, necessary. For the record, when I started doing speed work last year to train for my abortive attempt at the Shamrock Marathon, [...] I probably will be laughed at by some for liking this song, and even moreso for liking a lot of songs I’ve listened to by the band, Needtobreathe. But whatever. So what if it was featured in the film P.S. I Love You, which was so schmaltzy that nearly made me roll my eyes a [...] “The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson “We do not act rightly because we have virtue [...] My friend Robin and I checked out the relatively-new Chix, on U Street and 11th.

Though really, this interview with the author alone offers lots of insight. Check it out. On my overpopulated RSS feed reader, I follow this woman’s personal blog. She’s a professional blogger, writing for Web Worker Daily among other blogs, but I have really liked a few of the posts on her personal blog. Her most recent post, reflecting on the past year, was really startling for me. [...] If you didn’t get a call/text from me wishing you a happy New Year, this is why. I honestly tried. But by 2:00 AM, I still couldn’t call or text anyone. Sooooo lame. Another New Year’s resolution: In July (when my contract is up), find a new friggin cell phone carrier. Because VZ, you [...] |
