to do, saturday:

Wake up at eleven. Drink a mug of chocolate Silk and go back to bed.

Watch Scrubs.

Wake up at two-thirty.

Run to Taco Bell. Eat a mess of chalupa and cilantro for breakfast. Or is it lunch?

Watch bad television: Police Academy, a few episodes of Fraiser and SATC, more Scrubs, and Law and Order: SVU.

Debate ordering Chinese food.

Begin drafting copy for author web site. Realize that writing a semi-amusing autobiography is nearly impossible today.

Feel like it's an old-school Saturday--say, fall 2005. Reread old journal entries. Remember what it was like to spend the entire day inside with old roommates, watching bad television and debating what to order from Yu's. (Answer: cream cheese wontons and sesame tofu.)

Send Jeano texts regarding Eliot Stabler.

Debate Netflix options and decide to send both back without watching.

Ignore lesson plans, projects and other necessary to-do items such as brushing teeth or showering. After all, there is always tomorrow.

  1. Did you finally see the underwear episode? Is that what you texted to Jeano?

  2. Underwear episode?! Is that Stabler in his underwears? His tighty Stabler-whities?

    I just read that marathon post. If it was to make me want to run...it sort of worked a little tiny bit. I'm not sayin' anything, I'm just sayin'. I'm going to run 6 miles today...but I might die or blow away.

  3. I'm not going to lie to you. I get sick to my stomach this week thinking about twenty-six miles. Instead, I'm focusing on the fact that I can say that I did it. Be prepared for me to wear a t-shirt for months afterward that reads, ASK ME ABOUT MY MARATHON. I'm a validation whore.

  4. They were dark red or black, but yeah, Stabler in his underwear. Yum.

    Jeano: Yay! Congrats! Let us know how the run goes.

    X: it is way too early to think about twenty-six miles. In fact, you never think about more than a couple of miles: the couple of miles you add on to your long run every week or so. We have ample time to work up to it. Take it one step at a time.

  5. I know. It will be fun, I promise.

    Back to the underwear. Tighty-reddies? Or boxer briefs? Or full, flowy boxers? I demand to know.
