08:45 pm - limited computer time
I'm on a really slow computer these days, I won't be doing a lot of online things right now. (Everything's fine though.) Update some day...

04:45 pm - Hello!
I'm posting this with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1) fingertrouble in mind, but it's of general interest.
This movie clip compilation "sings" Lionel Ritchie's "Hello" -- quite clever!

Paul Simon playing songs from my childhood, my sweetie going home for the evening -- this could work.

11:57 pm - Weathertop
I'm still running, slowly but surely. I started last November and just hit 240 miles, which is a far cry from my 10 miles/week goal but is way more than 0 miles/week. My 3-mile runs aren't getting easier but at least my leg muscles aren't perpetually sore any more, unless I go a couple weeks without running (due to injury or vacation).
240 miles puts me at Weathertop in the Hobbit's journey to Rivendell, where Frodo gets stabbed by a Nazgul. Just over half-way. (Day 14 for the hobbits.)
I've been wearing my iPhone on an arm band for the last few months since it's too warm for a jacket with pockets. By the end of my run it starts sliding down my arm, and I don't know if it is because I get sweaty or if it's because my life essence is leaking out like a Podling being drained by Skeksis.

09:22 pm - briefly:
- Went camping last weekend, was sore for a few days afterward from sleeping on the ground. But it was fun, and delicious, and had plenty of campfire. Now I'm tired.
- Very busy at work, my game should be done in a month or two.
- Rereading _Last_Call_, then I'll lend it out to people. (That's how I lost it last time, which is fine...)

10:38 pm - "smart" ads
Last week I saw a really cool piece of technology -- a tiny cube that plugs into a smartphone that lets small-time vendors take credit cards. You can even sign your name using the touchscreen! It's evidently a venture co-founded by Mr. Twitter, whose name I don't care to look up.
ANYWAY, ever since I did a web search on this I've been getting "smart" ads about it on all sorts of web pages. I'm sick of seeing them! I have no need of this thing, I just thought it was cool tech. Smart ads have turned something that pleased me into something that irritates me. :/

12:35 am - Blind luck
The pull cord on my living room blinds broke so I went to Home Depot to look for a replacement cord. They sell other replacement parts but not that one -- they told me I had to bring in my blinds and they'd ship them off for $25 and in a couple weeks they'd be fixed. (These are cheap metal blinds that cost less than $50 (31£).) So I walked over to the cord area, bought a $3.00 spool and restrung the thing myself in about 30 minutes. For being a giant hardware store they sure don't have much imagination.
