And another one down. We had our season ending banquet and big swim today. The team that is. 5k race this morning. That particular conundrum resulted in me not drinking at all last night for Monica's b-day which prolly resulted in more success than it did failures.
Aight...so having said that...bout that 5k....boy howday was today an exerise 'not preparing' proplerly. Actually I've done worse. But today was one of those times where I was actually racing..as in, it was a swimming event, verses a tri or marathon where basically finishing is the end goal (although I _SHOULD_ be fairly competitive for tri's next year). I had a buffalo chicken sandiwch @ Bridget's and boy howdy did that do a number on me right around a half hour into that set. FUCK. I mean FAWWWWWWWWWWWWWK. Suffice to say, a duration of a rage wherein your stomach feels like it is on fire and you extremities (hands, feet) have gone numb like 10 minutes ago is basically pure hell. I made do. Ya gotta remember this particular race was indoors in a 25 meter pool which meant 200 lengths. That's two hundred flip turns people. Yeah...you fuckers who bitch about "eating food that disagrees with you" before boarding a flight in nothing short of a blue angle test flight better not bitch to me 'bout shit ya see!!???!!!!
That said..your hero didn't too too bad. Took 4th (out of about 300) in the race today. And @ the banquet I was the #3 for "Swimmer of the Year" (#1 was given to Sarah Randag...a bird I don't even really know myself...cos she's so fast you see). So...what ya think of that! I really need to get better at sports that are spectator events. Monica says she wants to come watch me swim, but well, swimming isn't known for being a spectator sport. It's certainly known for weeding out the pussies, but nobody wants to watch that part....(sigh)
That said...new Batman Trailer out today. I'm not one to be a fan-boy...but well, this one's got me giddy. Heath Ledger's Joker OWNZ the fuck out of everything I've ever seen prior. Sorry jack, but well, c'mon...this is what it is. That said...it looks like about 90% of this movie takes place in my neighborhood. If you recall, this summer when they werefilming it, I captured some of the malarchy. But if you watch that trailer...almost all of the outdoor scenes are occuring in my neighborhood. Yeah, I live there.
