it's 3:30am and i'm still up. just finished watching thurs episode of vampire diaries. i'm hating that watching tv online, especially on the cw website, is beginning to feel like watching regular tv. so many damned commercials, the same ones over and over at least 3 times...all promoting that particular networks fall season shows. i mean, c'mon...3 times? so, cw people, just so you know...i open a new window and check email...visit my diary etc and mute the volume. i don't listen or watch until the program i was watching is back.

in shock after reading deardiary1's new entry that only 25 diaries are updated daily. what a shocker. back in the day, 2000-2001-2 it seemed to be a writing frenzy. but, back then, there was ALOT of scandal. lots of flaming going on. i don't miss the drama.

i do miss some of the diarists that have moved on:
Moonman
Slipperman
Sezrah
Lilith
Pringles
i hope they're all okay.

got the cd out that was stuck in my car stereo. was determined after getting home from work/and an errand early this Monday morning. there i was, long screwdriver in hand and my barnes and noble card. in the process, i ruined the cd and the stereo...so now i have to purchase a new one. :-) sucks big time, but i CAN'T live listening to the radio. radio sucks. sure, the new stations start out great- limited commercials and cool b-sides, then after a year, they seem to go into million commercials mode and repeating of the same damned songs. i hate radio. the only radio i can stomach is the college stations. and i don't get such good reception for those. so, i'll probably purchase a car stereo that allows me to plug in my iPod. will go shopping tomorrow to Best Buy since the Geek Squad can do the installing. while i'm there, i'll check out the new Nano iPod.

orangehead will visit the heart doctor at my job today. hopefully, her heart hasn't gotten any worse. there have only been small signs and for short durations of respiratory distress. no open mouth breathing and her color stays pink. just a slight increase in rate and effort that will last 15-20 min and then she settles. we'll see what the cardiologist says. i hope they do rads as well. made sure that the last two blood results were faxed to the hospital and i'll bring the last echo report with me. will leave early to avoid crazy traffic. at least it won't be hot out... she stresses easily and the hot weather makes it worse.

will go to see The National this week. not as excited as i was when i bought the tix. marathon training is sucking the life out of me. not enjoying running as much this time around. too much going on with family, work, pets... did the required 16 miler this past friday (ran 12 in the AM and 4 in the PM at the gym) long runs are basically to push your legs when they are tired. did well. the park was a mess on account of the "tornado" that blew through park slope. branches everywhere. i ran the perimeter of the park instead of following the trail inside. just not motivated although i can tell my legs are getting stronger and my body is changing. i'm mentally exhausted. not sure how to get that spark back that i used to feel when i ran. i am working 12 hour overnight shifts so maybe that has something to do with it. when i ran the first one, i worked at a "desk" job and for 8 hours. had plenty of time to sleep and eat well. now? i'm older, more physically tired, and haven't been eating as well as i should (mostly due to laziness). ah well, today, i'll run 8 miles, check out car stereos, do food shopping, and take my orangegirl to the doc.
