i can't decide...
so you may or may not remember or care that i've been doing this whole attempt at losing the weight i put on when i was coming to terms with the whole gay thing. it was a lot. i dropped about 20 of it over the last year and a half, but i'm hoping to do about that much more this summer. i've been walking/jogging (mostly walking) on one of columbia's rather beautiful trails, formerly a railroad, called the MKT. i do like columbia's park system. rather nice. anyway, i walk most of it because i can go a lot farther. you burn about the same number of calories walking as running and i have the time and i don't want to kill my joints (and i'm really out of shape), so i walk (and throw in the occasional jog or sprint). my goal was about 32 miles a week, which would work out to about a pound a week, and i've been hovering around there, with some weeks better than others, the others mostly due to illness or big rains, for nearly two months now. this week was the most, actually, with 44 miles. i was happy with that, but mostly happy because yesterday i was able to fit into my skinny jeans (30s). well, not as skinny as the skinny jeans i used to wear (28s), but happy still. they were kinda tight, yeah, but i wasn't muffin topping or ripping through fabric when moving around. but it made me feel kinda good. anyway.
the little bro is coming to hang out with me this weekend. i'm excited. 
his wifey is in mexico doing some spanish studying for a month and he wasn't traveling with work this weekend, so we'll be... well, we'll probably play a lot of wii. maybe see a movie. lol. nothing too dangerous. i'm trying to decide if i should take down my calendar of half-naked mormon boys for his benefit. oh, my parents might be coming on saturday. sorry, mormon boys. i don't want to have that discussion with my dad.
or should i not care? what do you think?
day two. your favorite movie.
this one's so hard! you don't understand. i love movies. looooove movies. i once stated that i owe my firstborn child to netflix. that doesn't really make much sense, but you can kinda see what i mean. i'm gonna cheat, though. these are the ones i have listed on facebook:
The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Matrix trilogy, Contact, Wit, October Sky, X-Men, Finding Forrester, Serendipity, The Sword in the Stone, Big Fish, Amelie, Top Gun, Ratatouille, That Thing You Do!, Batman Begins, Love Actually, V for Vendetta, The Chronicles of Narnia, Stranger than Fiction, Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, Donnie Darko, Latter Days, Cool Hand Luke, Howl's Moving Castle. oh, and Shortbus. i don't have that one on facebook. =)
so... yeah. laters.
