I started off the day beside myself. Hot, and hungry and tired and damn cranky. I really wanted to cry.
The reason? I had a tough day at work yesterday and then I decided to ride 10 miles last night and run the 3.3 mile loop this morning. Then I had volunteered to pick up some Chinese snacks in [...]
Here’s what I’ve done in the apartment buying front:
§ Spoken to friends/co-workers. Made plans with others to talk with them.
§ Ordered three books about coop/condo buying.
§ Gotten the name of two realtors, one of whom has of a lot of experience with first time buyers in the “lower price echelons”
§ Madly looked at real estate [...]
I went off to Queens today to observe the shoot for the 1nfant f33ding video I’m involved with at work. This one just started production and is aimed at the Chin3se community. The shoot was about 4.5 hours and I was there for about 3 of those hours. Sadly, I missed a lot of the [...]
They came! Three lovely charming men came with my new AC and installed it. While they were at it they charmed Miss Pumpkin, who wanted to leave with them. Go with them, Cat!
Triathlon training continues–NYC Tri here I come. Maybe. This morning I managed with difficulty to get myself out of the house and onto [...]
Tiredness has overtaken me. I had been planning on going to the pool, but now I’m not so sure.
Part of my reluctance to swim after work is that I am (sort of) voluntarily cutting my long weekend short. Our next video starts production this weekend and I want to go out to Queens to see [...]
I’m trying to get back to a post-sick triathlon training schedule. Today we ran our 3+ miles, tomorrow I’ll swim 1500-1700 meters, Saturday is a long overdue bike ride, and Sunday we will do a longer run. I think that the Sunday run may only be 6 or 7 miles; I need to map out [...]
Last night’s run was a zoo, but I managed a personal best time anyway. I did a 10:33/mile pace in a 3 mile race. My previous PR in a race that distance was a 10:50. Part of the reason for the improvement was that there were so many people and I was SO freaked out [...]
Yesterday at the dentist, Doogie Howser DMD took a look in my mouth and whined, “There’s NEVER anything wrong with your teeth.”
Yes, Doogie and that’s the way I like it.
Last night I watched the Bachelor. I don’t know why this type of emotional porn sucks me in. Maybe because I’m not-so-bright. It’s terrifying HOW [...]
My friend K is freaking out. One of her gentlemen callers just sent her this email:
I have 2 options, one more adventurous than the other:
1. Go to the airport, take the plane and fly over Long Island over the sunset (and grab dinner in Nantucket)
2. A nice dinner in town (my own pick)

She decided to [...]
After our run this morning, we went to eat brunch at a local overpriced greasy spoon. Soon before our departure, two unlikely pairs of diners sat next to us. Two professional-looking white women were taking out two teenaged Black kids and everyone looked a bit uncomfortable.
I had my ears open to try to figure out [...]
