• When I went to breffas with Lisa Sunday, she mentioned that she was doing somthing like this: The Couch-to-5K Running Plan. I think I'm going to start this plan too, in hopes that I can run the ENTIRE St. Luke's Womens Fitness Challenge in September. Last year I ran about 3/4 of it, but it was hard. I don't quite have 9 weeks, but I'll see what I can pull out...


• Brilliantly Weird Cars


• A friend of mine in Ohio has done a few posings for Spencer Tunick (Spencer Tunick Photo Shoot). I really think that this would be terribly liberating. I signed up to pose, but I doubt Spencer will bring his show to conservative Idaho. If you'd like to read about her experience, Check Here

• I haven't talked much about the whole 9/11 stuff that was detailed in this article: Cheney Authorized Shooting Down Planes. Phone troubles? Give me a break. As for authorizing to shoot down planes, I call bullshit. Before 9/11 there was no cause or reason to believe that terrorists would plow planes in suicide missions into our landmarks. *MAYBE* this is possible after finding out about the first incident, but with all the "communication issues" that were being had, how could they have known in time? It happened so fast. I so hate propaganda.

• I've seen This Picture running around in various places where people are asking OMG tell me what number I am??! Kinda disturbing, yet I kinda want to play myself. Don't answer please, but I'm guessing I'd put myself around a 4.5. I hope that's realistic. I hate not knowing if I have the "right" idea of what I look like....


• What is your Mythical Creature Quiz Very interesting results! Mine are below (and quite accurate, minus the hypochondria mention) if you are interested...
  

Your Primary Mythical Creature
Fire Types - The main strength of the Fire types is achievement. The second element indicates the most probable focus for this urge to achieve.

Wyvern - Astrologically associated with Aries and the First House.

Wyvern types are courageous, idealistic, and passionately concerned with personal rights and justice for the individual. They are among the most outgoing of all the types, highly sociable both at work and at play. They are tirelessly active with respect to other people and are rarely alone. They have a strong moral and ethical sense that makes them fiercely loyal and protective of those they love. They are implacable champions of the underdog and are strongly motivated to help others help themselves. They make good leaders of the democratic variety. They are drawn to competitive activities and group activities. They are exuberant, larger-than-life characters who are guaranteed to get things moving and make events fun, although quieter types may find them overpowering.

Your Shadow Creature
Earth Types - All the Earth types have problems relating to productivity and stability. The weakest element indicates the main focus of these problems.

Gryphon
Earth and Air

This shadow is irrational and unreasonable. They are plagued by a sense of uncertainty and are especially concerned about theft and loss of property. They can become quite paranoid about the motives of other people and despite being sociable in nature they have issues relating to trust. They are prone to bizarre delusions centering on lack of personal security. They are in different ways both self-neglecting and self-indulgent, ignoring genuine physical needs while simultaneously exhibiting hypochondria. Their frenetic lifestyle often reflects a neurotic need to escape a sense of insubstantiality. The biggest obstacle of weak Air is to overcome prejudice and ignorance; the biggest obstacle of weak Earth is to overcome self-centeredness and greed.

• Via Backwash: Eighties Dances. I always thought that Churnin' Butter was a mistake...I didn't realize it was an epidemic, unitl just now. I used to make fun of this guy that did it at our dances - OOOPS! Who knew he was embracing dance eliteness? I was a master of The Snake. My favorite on the list, by far, is The "Stand" dance - I used to do that along with the video. ;) GEEK.

I must agree that they are great - and you can carelessly shave your legs without worrying about nicks. It's great! However, I prefer to use my Gillette Venus razor for my bits; the Intuition can't really do the same job based on its shape, you see. ;)

• I'm sure by now you've heard of the madness of J.Lo's recent wedding. (Will third time be the charm for J. Lo?). I don't think I've ever seen someone want to be married so damn badly.

• More of Retrocrush's top 50 cools songs: The Doors - The End (I'm sure you know why), Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze, this excerpt sums it all up: The opening riff on Purple Haze is one of the most recognizable and coolest beginnings of any rock song. It's sex, violence, and non stop party all rolled up into one explosion of guitar, The Who's Baba O'Reilly which was kind of ruined (?) for me after I saw Summer of Sam- the song flat out creeps me out now, Metallica - One - Read this, if not for the commentary on Beavis and Butthead, and The Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil, which doesn't require any commentary by me or Retrocrush

• Inkblot Test - Some crazy blots in here! My results (which I found interesting and accurate, are below.

Lalajen, your subconscious mind is driven most by Curiosity.

You are full of questions about life, people, and your own potential. You spend more time than others imagining the possibilities for your life, and you're open to things others are too afraid to consider.

You have an almost physical need to know and do more. It's only through new experiences that you feel a greater understanding of yourself and the world. You also have a rebellious streak that shows up when you feel unable to truly influence the world or circumstances around you. Your appetite for novel experiences also shows an openness others don't have, but wish they did.

Your psyche is very rich; the more you learn about it, the more you will understand who you really are.
