With Elliott being gone I have tons of time on my hands.  I am reading 2 books and the other night spent some time surfing the Internet – normally that is Elliott’s schtick.  I started looking for something don’t remember what now when shiny blinky things distracted me on the MSN page.  I read a few stories, watched a few videos when this caught my eye: http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=en-us&vid=cfbf32a8-2be8-4cdc-9791-8493896297d9 .  I had never seen the music video so I went looking for what was so leud and suggestive that warranted “I kissed a girl and I liked then I went to hell”.  I have a 2 friends who are gay who used to live in Ohio who left and moved out here looking for a better life where they would be more accepted, I think they made a good choice.

Looking for that link just now I learned that Paul Neman died.  I watched some of the videos, he was an amazing actor and gave back so much later in life.  That made me cry…  I love that he stayed with his wife for over 30 years. 

Running update.  I ran my loop the regular way today and ended up walking 1/2 of it, not sure why I wasn’t feeling as good this morning.  Maybe because it was hotter than normal since I went later.  I did go in shorts and a sports bra which was a big step for me.  It is my goal to be in good enough shape to feel comfortable out and about in shorts and sports bra, its silly although my goal.  So I did it and felt good.  It was nice to get some sun on more than just my arms.

I listened to quite a bit of the debate last night.  I didn’t see the video I listened to in the car and then on the Internet.  I found it frustrating at times.  I would be more impressed if they answered questions rather than spouting out their agenda without responding to the question.  I normally shy away from politics and taking  a public view although I think McCain was more direct about answering questions than Obama.  The other thing that frustrated me was their word choice.  I heard a lot of gonna’s and we got to.  I hate to be the snobby Toastmaster although I found it borderline offensive.  Do they think they have to talk down to our level so we can understand them?  Or are they just that poor at using proper grammar while speaking?  I was not impressed.

Elliott comes back tonight!  I have some errands to run and more reading to do, gotta run!
