Remake
Not that I really care about this usually, and haven’t they been talking about it for a while? MTV is supposedly remaking The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I really hope it doesn’t work out, and I really hope that if it does work out they don’t overrun the picture with special effects and crappy music.

The Final Brick
We did our final brick swim/bike this morning at Webster lake. We’re as prepared as we’re gonna be for our Danskin Sprint Triathlon coming up on the 27th. Now this is where the nerves kick in and the training will either get us to the finish line or leave us staring into they eyes of failure. Ugh. On a super-positive note, tapering + carbing up = best week ever. Rovezzi’s here I come!

Mamma-Mia
As a nearly life-long Abba fan I’m having some trouble getting behind this movie. Despite the fact that the entire group made an appearance at the premiere (they’re presumably making a great deal of money off of it) I still don’t have any interest in watching Meryll Streep and Pierce Brosnan sing some of my favorite songs. I know this show has been on Broadway for a while, and call me a pessimist, but I still have no desire to sit through it, even if it is 95 and humid outside. Maybe it’s just the Swedish in me?

Sometimes exercise sucks
Really…I know a lot of people feel this way, but I like to think I’m not usually one of them. With my first every sprint-triathlon 10 days away I’m having trouble motivating myself to get these last few workouts in before I start tapering in preparation for the big day. It’s the best feeling in the world after the workout, but this week I have just been exhausted and haven’t been able to talk myself into it. Right now I am my only competition, and all I ask is to finish the race regardless of my time. Worrying about my times will come later, since I am already hooked. I figure if I give myself more than 2 months for training next year beating my time for this year should be easy. Now I promise to wake up early and go running tomorrow before it gets too hot.

Motivate me
I think I’m gonna leave that picture up for now, I’ll call it motivation.

My comedy
(I believe this is semi-autobiographical, what’s that called now? A memoir?)
Chocolate is my friend. Chocolate has been pretty much my only friend ever since the break-up.
Okay, that’s not really true. The honest to god truth is I couldn’t have got through it without my real friends, but chocolate sure did help.
Chocolate was there with me late at night when I would have regularly been having sex. But since I wasn’t with the ex anymore, and hadn’t yet found a replacement for the ex, I decided to replace sex with chocolate. It only makes sense, right?
(Who needs to get out of the house? Screw it, just get me some chocolate.)
