Feet on the Ground Go, Walk Walk Walk

Looking in the mirror this morning, I couldn't help but notice much redness around my face, and notedly paleness especially in the area of my eyes. I had a feeling something like that was going to happen.
Over the weekend, I walked somewhere between 5 and 9 miles. I don't exactly have a way of measuring, so it's just a guesstimate. All of which saw me in my sunglasses devoid of suntan lotion.
I got to visit with my favorite second cousins for a few hours. A part of my family I like, that I even arranged to visit without my parents. Kind of nice.
I saw Super Size Me, and finally, finally got my headphones back from Kristen, whom I won't be talking to again until she calls me. And I'm willing to be that'll be at the very least two months from now. This goes back to the, if-I-am-the-one-who-always-calls-you,-and-you-never-call-me,-then-we're-not-really-friends thing (and by the way you can go f*** yourself). My views on friendship are tough but more than fair, I think.
Anyway, I really liked Super Size Me. It's basically a documentary by/about this guy who undertakes to eat McDonalds for 90 straight meals (30 days, 3 meals a day). And the journey he goes through on that path. Consulting with doctors, keeping track of his health, as well as the emotional and psychological effect on his eating that food. It was disturbing yet entertaining. And it's appearance at the Sundance Film Festival last year was a week or two earlier than McDonalds ending of the availability of Super Sizing. Coincidence? That's what McDonalds claims. Ha! If it's playing near you, I'd check it out, it was pretty good.
In other news, I've discovered Dried Apricots. Now, I know what you're thinking, that sounds disgusting, but they are delicious! I'm eating probably more than I should, but they're good. Very juicy, and full of flavor. Try some today!
Did the last two paragraphs kind of feel like advertisements in between blog-commentary? Funky. Whoooa!
Over breakfast for the past few weekdays I have been watching Zach and the Gang's exploits (on Saved by the Bell, duh!) And it's all nostalgic and predictable because I think I'd be hard pressed to find an episode outside of the College Years or one of their movies that I haven't seen. But it's a classic nonetheless. I wonder if any of the kids actually need to work, if they get tons of royalties and stuff, because I recall an E! True Hollywood Story about Saved by the Bell, and it was like, they're syndicated in 39 different countries. Something ridiculous like that. So I wonder if Lisa Turtle needs work. Or if Elizabeth Berkeley really regrets doing Showgirls, other than it killing her career. I mean, monetarily, did it end up mattering? Munchies for thought.
The Lakers dropped Game One in LA last night. It was shameful. Kobe and Shaq combined for 50-something points, and the rest of the team was about worthless. I expect a much better display tomorrow night.
Omgosh! Stanley Cup Playoffs, Game Seven of the Finals tonight on ABC! Tampa Bay vs. Calgary, possibly the last NHL (Hockey) Game you'll see on tv for a while - their agreement dealy thing that let's them play nice is up after.. well, I guess tonight basically. And everybody's greedy and won't share the monies so there won't be any for any one. How's that for a lesson from childhood biting back?
