The past couple of days we've had cloudy skies and high temperatures around 70 or so. This is really my kind of weather, especially in terms of going to Wildwood or another park and just getting in a good long walk, but I hesitate to do that now just because I've finally gotten back on a real DDR kick for the first time since the start of the year, and I'm making real improvements there and I want to keep up with arrow-stomping until something (injury, sickness, the last-minute crush for my exams) stops me.
Actually, what I'd really like to do right now is go play some touch football. I don't know why, but I do. I guess part of me would like to see whether or not all the dance games I've played for the past two and a half years have increased my speed and endurance in other sports, because I certainly feel in the best cardiovascular shape of my life right now (although that's not really saying much). Alas, I don't really have anyone to play with here, and all things being equal I'm not in a position to be going out and making friends at this point. Le sigh. Le weep.
Oh, and the latest thing to test my commitment to non-violence: whomever from Audrey Hepburn's estate thought it would be okay to loan out that footage from Funny Face so the Gap could use it in that stupid commercial. You just don't do that to Audrey. On top of that, mixing Audrey with AC/DC is just ... ugh. Look, I like AC/DC enough, but I feel the same way about Audrey Hepburn and AC/DC that Denis Leary feels about Samuel Adams mixing cranberries and ale.
