faux-Faux OT, Mar 30

Though it was fairly good when it was X2: X-Men United, which was a dumb name for a movie.

That was fun.

or go with some sort of classic ’50’s non-cheeseball format.

Cannot freakin’ wait.

At least I can do this one somewhat.

20.3 is my best, and this is unbelievably difficult at that point

I have seen a lot of contests on the Arsenal official site and on other sites that offer a fabulous prize if you can correctly identify something. The “skill question” is typically something like

Who was Arsenal’s top scorer in the 2003-04 season?

A. Kermit the Frog
B. Thierry Henry
C. A sheet of plywood

So it’s not exactly rocket science but it satisfies the law.

He pretty consistently runs a high BABIP at a premium defensive position. Doesn’t seem so crazy to me.

so I don’t really plan on playing it. I still have to try and finish the first.

I got about 3/4 of the way through it before I had to go out of town. Haven’t turned the console back on yet.

When we had the gif of the guy whose face caught fire because he didn’t blow out the shot before taking it, it made sense. This man lit his pants on fire and didn’t seem to be aware of the possible consequences.

I hate using the mouse and can’t figure out a way to bring up this search via keyboard.

Yay tickets and Ryan Rowland-Smith autographed baseball (before he was bad).

I won a birthday party at Chucky Cheeses when I was a kid. That was cool.

I entered the last-chance-to-win drawing from 99.9 contest. They pulled my name out of the box, which meant they took me out of the long line to get in, and me and my buddy instead spent an hour or two sitting in one of Audioslave’s tour buses listening to their new album before it had been released.

We got some signed swag, and Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk came in and hung out for a while. Then we got escorted into the show right before it started without waiting in line.

Oh yeah, and it was on my birthday. It was a pretty rad birthday present. The only thing that bummed me out is that Tom Morello and Chris Cornell didn’t come in and hang out too… since those are the 2 members of the band I actually cared about.

if nothing else it ends up being a good story.

We had lunch in a ghetto city at taco bell and they made you get tokens from cashiers to use the bathrooms and the mens room was closed so my friend had to use the girls. He ended up getting locked it when the token machine on the lock broke.

I run about a 12 min mile and I want to get it down to 10 before I start entering 5k runs.

I think for a guy in his 20s who is healthy but does not regularly exercise you want to go 8 minutes per mile for moderately long distances.

I usually ran a 7/9/8 minute split for each of my miles during the 5K which is meh but a 24 minute 5K is not too bad I guess. If you could pull off a 7 minute mile pace that would be excellent unless you’re trying to be a Varsity Cross Country runner then you’ll need to be closer to a 6 mile pace.

When running longer distances try to keep a constant pace. You could vary speeds which adds a little spice to your run, it could be something mundane as every other street light you switch from an 80% to a bit more. Or sprinting the up-hills and down hills while keeping that pace on level ground.

Just remember to build up your total mileage slowly per week, once you reached a certain mark cut that number in half and build up again, and don’t be afraid to take a week off, you’re not gonna go out of shape completely and it can help prevent stress fractures. To improve your time my advice would be varying your running workout. Hill workouts – if you’re fine with lunging uphill and doing frog leaps in addition to sprinting up hill, interval miles or 1200 metres w/ 400 metres of “rest” in between each interval, run long sustained pace distances if you’re sore but want to put in some mileage.

Finding a running buddy would be nice as well, if not then there is always running while plugged in. Eat well, sleep well, push your limits, and have fun.

that outfit, not so much.

and we the non-football-yay-soccer crowd were all mad because that meant no World Cup qualifiers or World Cup games should the US get the Cup again.

at the time

for baseball, you have to buy bats and gloves, and you have to have a decent sized open chunk of land to play it in. Basketball needs a hoop and a ball, soccer needs a ball, football needs a ball, and most city parks already have basketball hoops and spaces to play soccer (and thus also football). Baseball diamonds aren’t disappearing from city parks, but they’re also not being built a lot any more – baseball has become a very suburbanized, relatively affluent sport so a lot of inner-city kids don’t play it growing up. If you don’t play it growing up, you probably don’t have as much interest in it as you get older.

I mean, he worked while 90210 was on break, he chose a good role in Pike, heck even 8 Seconds grossed more money than Buffy did. Sometimes those things just don’t work out I guess.

Good cross leveraging with the video game.

It’s fun for everyone that likes to watch TV.
This is the way it’s meant to be.
So come on everyone let’s do Xfinity.
