and when you realize that, and start titling your posts in all caps about how much you suck, there's only one remedy: blogging, bullet style! here goes:
-if you follow my twitter, you may have noticed that i finally went to the doctor for that pesky little running injury that i incurred, oh, three months ago. the one that forced me to pull out of the marine corps marathon? yeah, that one. he x-rayed the crap outta me and yup, turned out, i have a stress fracture. of the inferior pubic ramus. which, as dan pointed out, sounds kind of creepily kinky. or maybe that's just him. anyways, my doctor is apparently insane and tells me i can run through it if i don't mind the pain. uh, I MIND THE PAIN. but i've eased up on the yoga and the cross training and of course haven't run in three months and am just getting generally really fat, and it does seem as if the leg is feeling better. he says in two to three more months it should have healed completely. here's hoping by march i'll be running all over the place. side note: i have suffered two fractures this year; this one, and my elbow, from snowboarding last january.
-we had a great seafood fest two weeks ago. the nabob called us one sunday afternoon while we were lying in bed watching the skins game (we being like five of us) and said he had, oh, a billion extra oysters; did we want them? we sure did! we hiked out to arlington, picked up the oysters, and hit up the seafood market on the way back and got lobster tail, snapper, and shrimp. stu shucked like a master, and we drank a lot of wine, and sang christmas songs, and it was just great.
-i got a christmas tree and had people over to decorate it! dan, ray, josh, amanda, lana and ben all came over a couple thursdays ago and helped me tree it up and drink mulled wine and egg nog. perhaps too much mulled wine and egg nog. as a result my tree is topped with a heineken bottle.
-i went to the big bear cafe staff holiday party! i drank beer and party punch. perhaps too much beer and party punch. as a result, i did a lot of ill-advised dancing.
-i went to amanda's christmas/house warming and ray and dan and caitlin's (SECOND!) housewarming! on the same night! i drank beer and wine at those. perhaps too much beer and wine. as a result, i actually managed to do...nothing too embarrassing. this time around.
-in other news, amanda and i decided we're starting a bloomingdale's anonymous, if anyone would like in.
-i can't remember a saturday in maybe six weeks where i've gone to bed before 4am.
-galaxy hut is as great as ever. so is pho 75, also in arlington. i guess i've got a few good reasons to keep going out there.
-i watched die hard, which is the best christmas movie ever.
-i went to a pie party! (i made genevoise, which is less a pie and more a coffee cake, but hey, it is an old family recipe, and also, uh, circular, which in my opinion makes it of the pie genre)
-resolutions. 2009 style. any of you got some? my only one is to start running again. and get back more on the yoga horse, because i've let that start slacking a lot, mostly due to holiday madness. i think a good one would to be continuing the generally awesome time i've been having the past six months. without turning my liver into a piece of cheesecloth, if possible.
-i also spent a few hours putting together my songs of 2008. i've got all of the mp3s in my itunes; is there a way without uploading them somewhere else to compile them into an easy-to-blog-and-easy-to-listen playlist for you all?
-i realize this is a shitty blog post to put up after nearly two weeks of not blogging. i am sorry. er, happy holidays! may 2009 see craploads more blog posts!
