Jogging, Birthday, Murderer

I went jogging with Virginia tonight and I nearly died. I don't know how far we went but it was too far. Then, since I'm a genius, when we came home I decided to eat edamame with a ton of salt, which dehydrated me so badly that I had the worst headache that I've had in my entire life. Exercising is awesome, right?

It was my dad's birthday yesterday so we went out for dinner last night and Virginia and I went to lunch and a movie with them today. We saw the new Clint Eastwood movie Gran Torino. It is fantastic. It is crushingly hilarious and very poignant. I'm not going to talk about the plot because I don't want to ruin it for anybody, but you should definitely go see it.

Work is going to kill me this week. Work tries to kill my every week. My job is trying to kill me. I've been seriously contemplating pursuing a career as a college professor. The varying work schedule, closer relation to my interests, and summers off seem like they would be right up my alley. Research will be done.

This post wasn't as meaningful as I'd hoped, but it's a start.

do you ever get so obsessed with a song that you have to find it and listen too it. got that way with the "Meet John Constantine" song off the Constantinte sound track. Electronic Cello is amazing in it.

Gran Torino was indeed fantastic. Quite a different role for ol' Clint. I was especially touched by his venture in composition for the title song.
