thinking

Is it just me, or does the entire city smell like lighter fluid on a hot summer night? It certainly has me craving some ribs.

So the Lance American Century 8-story tall "poster" is creating quite the buzz. And while I feel sorry for all of us who have to drive beneath his watchful eye, what about the people who work at AC and have lost what I'm sure was a coveted view of the Plaza. I'm sure staring at the back of a building-sized poster is really helping them get through the work day.

I checked out my site meter yesterday, and someone found me via an Internet search for "fat writer." I don't know what to think.

My legs are sore. I think it's because I wasn't able to run the entire first 13 days of February. I was in the hospital or on the slopes, and so I've tried to make up for it by running more than 40 miles since the 14th. It's a bit painful, but SO worth it.

Speaking of the hosptial and my lovely time there. I got my "this is not a bill, this is an explanation of benefits" in the mail yesterday. I was there two nights and two days and boy do I know how to rack up some charges. The grand total? $16,500. Yep. The total I have to pay? $100. Thank God for good insurance.

And last but not least, I am totally digging Built To Spill. If you haven't given them a listen, you should. The best news of all? They will be in Lawrence at the Bottleneck on April 19. Afraid to go to Lawrence like I am? Lucky you. They will also be making an appearance in Columbia April 17 at the Bluenote. Enjoy, and go Tigers.
