• Sunday, Not So Bloody Sunday

  It's weird.  Running 3 miles now seems like a walk in the cake.  We did 6 today which was fun.  The weather was top-notch.
  
  I've been listening to Jim Rome Show podcasts lately instead of music.  I guess it just depends on what my mood is.  The Austin Marathon thing was today.  I hope to be participating in that this time next year. 
  
  I have been reading RunnersWorld.com alot lately.  It's a wealth of information.  I learned about how awesome black beans are for you.  I always liked black beans, but never really considered buying them routinely.  Now I can make incredible blackbean/tuna concoctions.  Also, they say oranges are great for runners.  I've loved mandarin oranges with a passion for years, and today I found some sweetened with splenda.  What luck.  That whole article is here.
  
  I feel pretty good today.  It's like the mist finally let the sun through.  I just realize I have a lot of potential, and good things will happen to me.  It's strange though, because historically Sunday night is the most depressing night.  Oh well, I can't complain about having nothing to complain about.
  
  It's tough to control my urge to speak in a New Zealand accent.  I can't help it after all the Conchords I've been watching and listening to.  I'm pretty proud of my ability to speak in a British/Australian accent.
  
  I first started working on it about 16 years ago when I watched this awesome yet short-lived sci-fi show called The Tomorrow People on Nickelodeon.  It was incredible.  I should look into finding it on DVD.  But anyway, there were some British people on there so I started doing the accent.
  
  Maybe when I move and start my new job, I'll use the accent and tell people I'm from New Zealand.  No one will be the wiser hopefully.  And I will seem cooler and smarter.
  
  If they remember from my interview that I didn't have a New Zealand accent, I'll come up with some excuse, like I was trying to use an American accent for a while but then I figured out I had to be myself.  A New Zealander.
