Memory-age and archive-ageinsidianMarch 9 2004, 11:27:15 UTC
Min keeps saying she'll show me how to do memories and stuff, and that it's easy and whatnot. I just haven't got around to doing it. No personal computer and all.
That said, if you want to archive them for me, go nuts! And I shall repay you in whatever currency you choose: lit, fic, booze, chocolate, or cold hard cash. (by specifying *cold* and *hard* you must understand that all payments in currency will be coins. Am poor.) Of course, a couple of the re-caps are buried in comments and not in the actual posts. Not that you have to go diving for them if you don't want to. Just a warning to ye.
Also, didn't know you were a runner! Are you training or just running for fun or.. are you one of those natural runners who pushes past the wall and all that stuff? Must I beat you?
I wouldn't say I was running for fun. I guess I'm running for my health.
See, I made up my very own exercise program called "Do Stuff You Don't Do". I've never been a runner. "Why run?" I would ask, "When I can walk and enjoy the scenery? Oo! A bunny!" Nor have I been particularly bendy. "Why bend?" I would ask, "When one is clearly supposed to sit still? Oo! A bunny!" Nor did I do the ab and weight training thing. "Oo! A bunny!" I was always the have a sit, drink some coffee, sort of exerciser. So the program I came up with was a Run, Sit-ups, Weights, Yoga style thingy.
I started at a quarter mile. When that didn't kill me, I did a half. When that stopped killing me, I went to 3/4. I'm currently at a 12 minute mile, and today was my first day of pushing for a 10 minute mile.
Someday, that shall not kill me. Then I will try for a mile and a half.

Quite possibly the best idea ever. Mine was a thing like "I enjoy doing x, y, and z. I bet I would do them better and enjoy them more if I had some cardiovascular skillz. Also, if I could mount a horse without a riding block." And now.. I'm .. y'know.. sporty. Cait calls it "Adult Onset Athleticism." I think we need a telethon.
I know it sounds cheesy and silly, but do you read The Penguin?
The game proceeds apace, the Admiral's team is winning, and Stephen comes to bat. He's carved himself a hurler instead of a cricket bat. Apparently he was an all-state hurling champion. There's some sporty things going on, then Stephen does something spectacular with his hurler which either wins the game in one stunning move or loses it in a humiliating fashion. It's hard to tell. I don't know anything about cricket.
the latter.
i hope you already know you rock so hard. 'cause you do. these things are hilarious.
I am reasonably acquainted with cricket and... I'm not clear exactly what the status of Stephen's contribution is. Instead of hitting the ball, he's caught it, run off with it and then thrown it at Jack's wicket. It's just... brainbending. Rather like if he'd gone onto a football field convinced that the point of the game was to load the ball into a cannon and fire it into his team's own goal, or caught a baseball in his hands and started running the bases in the wrong direction while singing the national anthem.
I very nearly convinced my husband to do an analysis of this using the historical rules of cricket, but he tells me under the modern laws Stephen would have been out (and thus lost the game for his team, as the tenth man out) due to "handling the ball" (everyone wants Stephen to get out handling the ball more often) but the fact that he then threw it at Jack's wicket wouldn't affect Jack as long as he was still standing right near it.

Then maybe I'll finally catch that fucking bunny.

And The Penguin is not cheesy and silly to me.
Mostly because I've never heard of it. Directions?

And thanks. About the rocking. They're Patrick's stories. I just like to share.
