*flash* one thou-...*bang*

Yesterday I posted about how it takes five seconds for the sound from lightning to go a mile. Well, last night we had lightning strike about 500 feet from our house! The flash was incredibly bright, and the sound was something akin to the atmosphere tearing open.

Went for a run tonight, it went pretty well. I'm still having a bit of foot pain, but I think it will work itself out. 3 miles, 28 minutes... 9:19 pace. I'm pretty happy with that. Now all I need to do is sign up for that triathlon in two weeks!

I also paid some bills today and transferred some of my money to savings... yay for that. Perhaps I'll keep my hands off that money this time...



LJ Interests meme results

  1. being messy:
    I may as well embrace my nature. My room is a total wreck right now... as usual. I am trying to change that, though
  2. coen brothers:
    Quite simply, they're brilliant. The Big Lebowski is probably my favorite movie, and Fargo is great. I guess you could say I celebrate the whole collection.
  3. f1:
    F1 racing. Not so much anymore, but you can't beat 200+ mph and 900hp.
  4. groove armada:
    If you haven't heard the album "Love Box", you have to.
  5. jazz:
    Charlie hunter trio. Dave Brubeck. Medeski Martin and Wood. Even if you don't like jazz, you'll like that.
  6. money mark:
    "The guy behind the guy" for some bands like the beastie boys... his album "Push the button" is brilliant.
  7. quiet:
    Mia: Don't you hate that?
    Vincent: What?
    Mia: Uncomfortable silences. Why do we feel it's necessary to yak about bullshit in order to be comfortable?
    Vincent: I don't know. That's a good question.
    Mia: That's when you know you've found somebody special. When you can just shut the fuck up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence.
  8. shiner:
    Jeez, enough of the music ones already! Shiner is a great indie band I heard about from some guys I used to work with. Definitely another one to check out.
  9. the big lebowski:
    A little redundant here, see "the coen brothers"
  10. tropical fish:
    I just like the idea of having a whole ecosystem sitting right there on a table. It's not just fish in a bowl, it's all the other little animals that make the whole thing stay alive.
