It is so nice to be able to run outdoors again without the threat of falling on your face from slipping on the snow and ice. On top of that, running in shorts. It’s still too cool out to forget about something long sleeved, but good enough for me. The really weird thing is the multitude of cars that were honking at me on my route today. Perhaps since it is Sunday, it’s against some people’s religion to go out running on such a beautiful day and they were upset with me. I could not recognize a single car that blew its horn as it went by. Strange…
In the midst of my recent purchase of an iPod Mini, I dove into the world of being a prospective car buyer yesterday. I wouldn’t say that I am anywhere near being ready to make such a purchase, but my eyes can’t help but wonder in that direction. And you know, saying what kind of vehicle you would like to own versus actually getting into the candy store is a completely different story. I like this one, that one, oh that’s nice, that’s ugly, that’s unnecessary, and so on. After about ten dealerships, I could not find the one that I set out to find. However, I did find about ten other vehicles that are interesting, to say the least.
I found myself sucked into Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory tonight. It’s been a movie that I have loved since the first time I saw it as a kid. Every time I watch, a new element of the film pops out at me. Be it dark undertones or settle jokes that I never caught the first hundred times around, it always surprises me. On top of that, I always laugh. In particular, Charlie’s school teacher is hilarious. Oddly enough, I have yet to own this on DVD.
Happy Leap Year to everyone out there. An extra day onto the end of this month that prevents my paycheck from getting to me sooner.
