crying on tv
When people are crying on TV, it’s probably a 80% chance that I will tear up. The Tim Russert tributes are truly saddening (which is what started this post), but I’ve also cried at The Biggest Loser, The Simpsons, Freaks and Geeks, and Kid Nation. Kid. Nation. The little kids were running towards their parents, and their parents were running over a hill to see them, and…oh, I’ve started up again.
I once cried while watching the Boys and Girls Club commercial on TV—the one with Denzel Washington on a schoolbus, when he sees his former mentor.
On the Menu For Tonight
Fajita Friday!!!
Jalapeno-Citrus Flank Steak Fajitas, served with sides of Spanish Rice, Black Bean and Corn Salad, and my Guacamole. Eat it up, Fa. Unless it’s gross, of course.
“Each Gum Blonde is 100% pure chewed bubblegum on a plywood backing. No paint or dye is used. The colour is inherent to the gum–the mixing of colour takes place inside the mouth during chewing. Kronenwald has a dedicated team of chewers and prefers the texture of Trident. However, he does not chew gum himself unless he must.”
I know, technically, gum is not food, but it still goes in your mouth (That’s what SHE said…).
For my birthday:
Woke up at 4:30am (having gone to bed at 1:30am), got to Central Park by 5:30am for the 50th Anniversary NYRR 5-Miler (NYRR and I have the same DOB, apparently). Not only was it still dark out, but it was also raining. And cold. Very cold. But after about 5 minutes into the race, I was feeling pretty good.
My final time: 47:47 (9:33/mile). My fastest time yet. Yippee!
Oh and also…after work, on my way to dinner, a bird totally dropped a DEUCE on my head. And that’s the truth.
Also went to Buca di Beppo, for old time’s sake. So much crap on the walls, it’s like an Italian Ruby Tuesdays. “Now I’ve seen everything!”
