random stuff...

-does anyone know if you can set it up so comments are threaded? it'd be nice to be able to reply to a specific comment and have it show up that way...

-while running today i came up on a cute girl running. it reminded me of something that happened a couple years ago when i was doing a "race for the cure" deal. this is going to make me look like a total pig and i apologize for that. anyways, when i used to do long races, the race would go so much quicker if i found a cute girl who ran about the same pace as me and i followed her for most of the race. when i'm doing ten miles or whatever, it's my brain that kills me. about the 6th or 7th mile, it'll start coming up with reasons why i should stop running. anyways, following the girl tends to help some. it's hard on the pride to stop when she keeps running. she's cute, so of course you want to keep following, etc. a friend of mine likens it to the greyhound chasing the rabbit. anyways, this particular race, she kept speeding up. it hurt, but so did i. at the end of the race, for some amazingly stupid reason i went up to the girl to thank her for prompting me to have one of my best times ever. she started laughing and pointed to a guy and confessed that she'd been doing the same thing with him, and when he kept speeding up, she felt he was too good looking to let him go...

-our stuff here is so cobbled together. after my run "hey, sgt so-and-so, can i borrow your truck to go take a shower? i don't want to take my hmmwv" "uhm... yeah, you're not an idiot. i tell these dumbasses not to go to fast through the water, but they all think they know more than i do. we had to steal some stuff off another truck that doesn't work, so the cables and distributor cap on that truck aren't the right ones. so when you go through the water, just put it in first and idle through. i'm sick of having to pull people out of puddles." your tax dollars at work ladies and gentlemen!
