I wish I was the moon tonight...

Wildly inaccurate tracking today, but I did the workout. The app said I did 1.18 miles in 19m 35s. Now, I was going for 30 minutes, so it lost about 1/3 of the workout. Got an approximate actual distance from my husband, which I then put into the app (1.56 miles). Seems low since I ran much more today. But I guess I had the extra 2.5 minutes the other day because of another app screwup. 

Next time I’ll use runkeeper and C25K at the same time and compare the stats.

Days 1 & 2 of Couch to 5k…with some extra walking. I’m slow, but I’m doing it.

Long Island Medium, Neko Case, Couch to 5k, and bed.

That’s what today is about.  And it’s awesome.

Ask Amy: I love you Boston

This is how I feel about all mass violence.  After being so close to one of these episodes, I just can’t allow myself to be a spectator to it all.  When I was there at Virginia Tech, I resented the media so much for blowing everything up.  For repeatedly showing the things that had ripped all of our hearts in half.  For making careers out of the blood-stained sidewalk I had to walk on.  I just can’t watch the coverage of any of the mass-killings that have happened since.  I can’t encourage the media coverage.  I can’t look at shootings or bombings like a sideshow.  They’re TRAGEDIES, and I guarantee the people hurting the most aren’t the ones watching the coverage.

I have to let myself not be so involved in these stories, even if it means I can’t be an activist for change.  It’s too hard.

“There’s this inescapable moment in your early 20s, no matter how you get there, of feeling like everything you’ve known up until then is either wrong or doesn’t fit… and suddenly you’re faced with this feeling of `Who the (heck) am I? How do I do life? HOW is life DONE?’” — Zosia Mamet

This is a really nice tutorial on breaking down a chicken that is applicable to just about any game bird.

“…when people talk about the subject of “manhood” I feel like it’s something that’s applicable in modern times to both men and women, so we need a new term for it. I don’t know if it’s “integrity” or “authenticity” - I’m not sure what the term is, but I think the answer lies in owning what it is that you do, what it is that makes you yourself, and for me, that involves a lot of weirdness - like a lot of what I now succeed with is what people made fun of me for a lot of my life.”
— Nick Offerman, when asked about his status as an icon of “masculinity” on the Nerdist podcast (3/25/13)
