so much for the good life.

boy, it's been a tough stretch if you are a twin cities sports fan. kevin garnett, tori hunter and now the best pitcher in baseball all leave. while i have some faith in the abilities of the twins to succussfully judge talent (see: a. j. pierzynski for joe nathan, francisco liriano and boof bonser)and it very well may work out over the next 3 to 5 years, giving away a 'once in 20 year pitcher -in his prime- is a tough pill to swallow for a 'small market' fan. at least they sent him to the mets, a team out of the a.l. and also known for a plethora of talent but rarely the ability to take that talent all the way.

btw, what kind of name is boof?

i rode the trainer last night watching the last half of 'running.' it's clear why the movie is...um...a cult classic. it's mostly michael douglas running around. however, the way douglas finishes the olympic marathon at the end reminded me of how i finished at milwaukee this year (but at least i finished before dark). it was like 'night of the living dead goes to the montreal olympics.' maybe that was the sequel?

school starts tonight. i got up this morning to ride the trainer but ended up reading for class instead. it's really hard to get on the trainer once. but to do it twice in 12 hours is damn near impossible. i will say, i'm ready for the mental stimulation that comes with school...however, the time impingement...not so much.

happy thursday.
