- 01:10 Wonderful chat. Feeling happy and beloved. And--unrelated--*really* tired. Must sleep now. #
- 09:13 Today's outfit: Undershirt, shirt, tie, suit, overcoat... no, wait, I know! T-shirt and khakis! #
- 09:14 @juverna--de gustibus non disputandum est! #
- 11:21 @nullalux: Well, what were you doing in Tarshish, anyway? Bad prophetess! No lentils for *you*! #
- 11:46 Looking forward to discussion of SSM decision at www.volokh.com . Constitutionalist/libertarian, they'll annoy everybody. #
- 12:02 @mactavish--Ah, the Syllabus of Errors rears its head again! rurl.org/qol For the record, the Vatican now tolerates republicanism. #

- 12:32 @joedecker--This issue is definitely in my "discuss only with friends, only FTF, only with beer" box. You're one-for-three just now. ;-) #
- 12:36 @joedecker--sounds like a plan! We definitely need to schedule a beer. #
- 15:38 @nullalux: I don't see why you couldn't be there! I wouldn't want the salon to get too large, but more than two is certainly feasible. #
- 16:49 @nullalux--I'm not *entirely* sure I follow all your tweets, but regardless, I like how your mind works. #
- 21:25 Great, and long-overdue, dinner with @Heatherlynn! Feeling all super-happy now. #
A farmer in Somerset has a giant bullock--six-foot-six at the shoulder, weighing in at something over a ton.
Pictures here, along with this alarming detail about how he got so big:
There's good eatin' on a Swede. Lots of protein.

Despite his grand stature, Chilli only grazes on grass during the day and enjoys the occasional swede as a treat.

- 09:59 @juverna--does that mean you're going back to San Diego this weekend? #
- 10:00 @heatherlyn--you could have two twitter accounts, the "even-my-ex-can-see" and the "hidden-juicy-stuff"... #
- 10:01 @nullalux--thinking I may do my scheduled speed workout at the gym. Wonder if they can hold Bay to Breakers indoors, too... #
- 11:44 Synchronicity. JD's GF linked to a post by someone I kinda-sorta dated briefly in 1987, and haven't seen or heard of since. I commented! #
- 11:45 @juverna--seriously, if the hotel stil has your garments, they can almost certainly UPS them to you for a fee. It's what hotels do. #
- 12:04 @colonelfairfax--we're always willing to have fabulous alcohol-related events at your place! #
- 13:16 @colonelfairfax: I'll bake cupcakes, @nullalux has Buffy DVDs. You have booze. This shouldn't be hard to arrange! #
- 17:41 It is *too freaking hot* for a tempo run. I verified this experimentally: rurl.org/qmb #
So far, this picture has been favorited by four Flickr members.
This one? Nobody.
Maybe I'm trying too hard.
(That last picture is just kinda not-worksafe if you look closely...)

Me on Battlestar Galactica, a couple of weeks back. Not really spoilery.
"You notice how in the opening credits, they dropped that bit about 'and they have a plan'? They just went for a whole new opening sequence. I guess they decided against 'The Cylons were created by man. They rebelled. They evolved. And they're fucking winging it.' "

Grim indications abound.
This may be the year the Greens win the White House! Or the Wobblies! (Not the Libertarians, though. Don't be silly.)
- Barack Obama--the presumptive nominee, the guy Democrats are officially rallying around--just lost by comfortably more than two-to-one in West Virginia. John Edwards got almost a third as many votes, and he dropped out three months ago. His supporters are responding by calling West Virginians racists. Telling people "if you vote for the opponent in the primary, it's because you're a racist" does not strike me as a great way to win those people back in the general election--especially because people who voted for Hillary in, say, Ohio and Pennsylvania may figure, "they probably mean me, too."
- On the other hand, if the GOP can't hold on to a seat in Mississippi that Bush won by 25 points in 2004, it's not in great shape either.

- 14:33 @nullalux's tweet turns out not to be about AI & handheld computers. Huh! #
- 18:03 83F and sunny. Good weather for a *short* run. Three miles, not too quick. #
- 18:04 @heatherlyn--mazel tov in any event! #
- 20:02 Huh. Shouldn't the presumptive nominee get at least, oh, a *third* of the votes in his own party's primary? If he's all that presumptive? #
- 20:02 @nullalux: And love back, to both of you! I miss you like crazy. When do I see you again? #
- 23:55 Tonight I apparently missed Martini Time *and* the Sangria Zone. @Mactavish, can I get in on the Piñata Expotition, when that happens? #
- 00:27 @teawiththecheat--you coming to Karaoke Sunday evening at the Mint? That would be one possible martini time. #
- 02:29 Dinner with mum was... adequate. Movie afterwards with @nullalux was wondrous. Skritches with Spencer were spencerian. Bed should be soon. #

- 19:05 Bumped tomorrow's run up a day. Heat wave's a-comin', trying to clear Wed & Thurs. tinyurl.com/5krwd7 Glad I have A/C at home... #
- 19:05 Anyone who wants to sleep in a place with A/C, now's an excellent time to start kissing up to me. #
- 19:14 Tasks for tonight: 1) Clean up for maids. 2) Go through my voter booklets, possibly at bar, definitely with beer. 3) BSG? Mmmaybe. #
- 19:17 Oh, and tasks for the next couple of days: a) Set up my offiical TNT donation page; b) Design and order "please sponsor me" moocards. #
- 20:14 The Whole Foods dlemma: food so good, service so very very bad. My imperfect solution: eat here, vote for candidates they hate. #
- 22:35 @mactavish--I may let tonight's Most Unsatisfactory Experience convince me to stop eating dinners there. It's a silly extravagance. #
- 22:37 Bought mini-cupcake tins! May try baking with them soon. Probably not for Saturday's parties, though--the weekend is looking too busy. #
Just faxed in my registration form for Team in Training. Signed up for the Portland Marathon, October 5, 2008. Kick-off meeting is in about three weeks, at which time I'll start groveling for money. I'll keep it to a tasteful minimum, though.
Oh, and Bay to Breakers is on Sunday. Don't suppose anyone's interested in carpooling? My current plan is to drive up to the Millbrae BART station at Too Dang Early o'Clock and catch the train up to the starting line. Gun is at 8 AM, and BART claims that on an ordinary Sunday, it takes 40 minutes to get from Millbrae to the Embarcadero. First train is at 6 AM (leaving every 20 minutes thereafter); I'll probably aim for the 6 AM train (on the theory that not-enough-sleep is not-enough-sleep). I'll carry my cellphone with me (memo to self: need some kind of sport armband for cellphone), so if you're going to be there, give me a call or text or summat. I'm figuring I'll wander the post-race party for a bit, then make my way home for an afternoon nap, before heading back up to the city for karaoke at the Mint that evening. (Carpoolers for the karaoke are also eagerly sought.)
Anyone else got any races in the works? I'm hoping the TNT schedule will be compatible with a summer race or two (some training schedules include/encourage/require test races along the way). And I know the lovely and talented Mr.
colloquialme is doing a half at the San Francisco Marathon, so I'll definitely be there to cheer.

- 19:00 Picking mom up for dinner. My bliss can scarcely be contained. #
- 02:33 Wondrous evening at @nullalux's! Home safely now, found a bizarre numeric message on twitter, allegedly from me. Baffled! Sleep now. #
- 10:57 Happy birthday, John @Scalzi! #
- 10:59 Belatedly awake. Musing about the day's run. Rancho San Antonio? There just *might* be goats... #
- 12:20 @nullalux: Well, dang! How about an alpaca? They're cute too! #
- 15:36 @teawiththecheat--Oh no! Are you all right? Where are you? #
- 15:37 9 sunny miles! Maybe a little *too* sunny... or too hilly. Anyway, ready for a bath now. Oh, and MY TITS HURT. #
- 19:26 Paschal vespers was very Paschal, and very vesperal. Feeling spiritually refreshed! Might seek more carnal refreshment too. #
- 22:17 Well-fed and home. Considering wandering over to Neighborhood Pub for live music. #
- 23:28 Aw man. Fat Tire Ale and electric blues. Ain't *nothing* wrong with that. #
- 00:16 Home after only two drinks! Am I getting old? Or worse yet, *mature*? Anyway, enjoying a bedtime orange, and missing @nullalux terribly. #

- 10:50 @basykes--if your husband's cool with you being the mother to Henry Winkler's children, that's enough. Don't expect him to *thank* you... #
- 11:02 @nullalux--well, Google will help you with "WBAGNFARB". Though it might not with "DWTFIWWJP"... #
- 15:39 Wondering if the Bourbon and Branch (tinyurl.com/5haw7y) is any good. Maybe @nullalux will let me take her there some time? #
- 15:59 @juverna--Nasty things, adventures. Make you late for dinner! #
- 16:00 I fetched my mobile phone from my car. There was an electronical Hug waiting on it. Science! #
- 16:01 @nullalux: Well, I should be delighted to put on the pinstripes (or, if you prefer, the dinner jacket) and squire you to the B&B. Please? #

Just called Team in Training to ask a couple of things. If they return my call today, I may fax the registration form to them by EOD. If not, Monday seems entirely plausible.
Hope it doesn't suck!

Utterly delightful dinner with CD last night. We talked much about running--she did a half-marathon last weekend and will do another a week from Saturday. We had been planning on going running tomorrow, but she seems to have slightly pulled a crotchal muscle of some sort, and is taking it easy tomorrow. Soon, though!
I'm going to go ahead and sign up for Team in Training. I will keep the begging to a tasteful minimum, though there will be a give-moneys link over on the side of the page, some time soon. I'll be donating enough to actually cover the costs of the trip, so everything you guys give will go to the actual cancer stuff. Just in case you're wondering.
( toys )
Not much going on this weekend. 9-miler tomorrow morning (may go back to Rancho San Antonio), dinner with mom Sunday (o bliss). Feel free to invite me out for drinks. Good weekend, all.
