So, I have just conceived of a title for my new novel which I'm very proud of (the title, not the novel)

Hmmm... It says a lot about the rate of said novel's production that the conception of a placeholder title is momentous.

In other news, my mind is active and prevents sleep so I'm scouring the internet for traces of the Avengers Superbowl spot.

I believe the Marvel Movies thread will Make you Momentarily Merry Mr Masters.

Turned on the Super Bowl for the Madonna half-time show. Wasn't expecting much, but I thought it was kind of great.

Where as I turned off the superbowl for the Madonna half-time show...

I think Clint Eastwood just volunteered to run for President in that advert.

[Mike]

We should let him.

[Tonycal]

I totally missed Clint Eastwood in that ad. Damn it!

I did think it was funny M.I.A. flipped the bird at the halftime show. I'm sure some stupid group will flip out over that.

Ok off to bed....

It's a decent Monday. Late starting work day, the team I wanted to win the SB won (if it couldn't be the Pack), and a solid workout to get back in the routine, after a week off.

Hope the rest of the week flows this way.

Signed up for a 10km race a few weeks back. Just got into the training for it today. Today's jaunt was fairly successful - got a nose bleed half way round and ended up running past a parked police car with my face, hands and arms caked in blood and then, later, ran into a bush.

[craggy]

when you're covered in blood, the sensible thing is to run into the bush before you run past the police car. or rather, instead of.

Or make yourself look really big to scare them off.

No, wait, that's bears, not cops. Sorry.

FINALLY went to work out at the gym. i don't dare say how long it has been since i last went.. god, to think of all that money i've wasted every month in fees! anyways, gotta love how they had the food network playing on the tvs, in which there was a pie baking contest. *sigh* i am always going to want a cherry cream pie more than a rock hard ass.

I'm struggling my way through an 'essay' laying out my theory for 'Citizen Kane Syndrome'. God it needs a second draft.

Got back from the first antenatal session today, it was pretty good but the midwife did seem to be reading from a script the whole time. It also seemed that she was bored by the material too...

What was scary that my wife appeared to be the most well informed women there and she manages that while currently doing two jobs...

Today I was calling chiropractors at work, and I came across a chiropractic center where the head doctor was named... Dr. Funk.

And then I had to call and leave a message starting with the words... "Hello, Dr. Funk!"

Let me tell you, not laughing while I was leaving that message may have been the hardest thing I've had to do in a long time. Especially because all the coworkers around me heard me leaving a message for "Dr. Funk," and were laughing hysterically or giving me are-you-being-serious looks.



I also discovered the most unfortunately named chiropractic clinic I've ever heard of: "Slaughter Lane Chiropractic."

I don't know about you, but I have absolutely no intention having someone twist and crack my back at any place with the words "Slaughter Lane" in the name.
