My reaction when I buy a frozen dinner and there’s no microwave instructions. Cooking something for 20 minutes defeats the purpose of buying a frozen dinner.

100 Miles, 30 Days
With my 32th (holy shit!) birthday approaching, decided to challenge myself. My goal is to run 100 miles in 30 days.
I was suppose to make running a habit for 2013. I ran a bit in Austin but I was always coming up with excuses to avoid running.
I find it’s easier to accomplish a big goal when you break it down into smaller achievements. So I’m starting by challenging myself to run 100 miles in 30 days. For you non-math wizards, that’s 3.33 miles a day on average, but that means I have to run every day based on that math.
I’m pretty damned determined to achieve this. I’m tracking my daily running on a public Google doc to hold myself accountable. If you see I’m not running daily, feel free to publicly shame me.
I know the last stretch is going to be rough (just three days in and I’m already feeling the pain) so I’m trying to run an extra mile the first two weeks so I have a bit of a buffer come the final stretch.
For my Facebook peeps - I hope my Nike updates don’t bug. If they do become annoying (totally understandable), just click the upper righthand corner of the update to ignore future Nike updates.
When May 26 does arrive, I’ll probably need a new pair of running shoes, if anyone is thinking of getting me a birthday present. (size 11 1/2 or 12, depending on the brand).
Forget Casual Fridays. Casual Mondays is how ballers (self employed) roll.

Well, I finally got around to reading “The Great Gatsby”
I doubt the world needs another review of “The Great Gatsby” so I’ll keep this one short: it was marvelous. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece is the opposite of a pageturner. Instead of being in a rush to turn the page, I meticulously tried to absorb each sentence, passage, and prose. “The Great Gatsby” was like drinking a very expensive wine that you can’t afford; instead of being in a rush to drink it, you want to savor every drop. I would read, then re-read entire pages and chapters just to appreciate Fitzgerald’s masterful writing. The story was also beautiful, populated with hauntingly sad characters.
Unlike seemingly every high school student since the ’70s, I didn’t read “The Great Gatsby” in high school. Probably a good thing because I probably wouldn’t have appreciated it then. When I started seeing previews for the movie (directed by a favorite of mine - Baz Luhmann), I decided to finally read this book. The only downside of that was I could only picture Leonardo DiCaprio as Gatsby and Carey Mulligan as Daisy.
Day made. My highest Reddit submission (excluding my GW posts)
Wanted to buy Millie a kid broom because she kept trying to use our broom. Target only had a pink broom set, no blue or neutral colors. To compensate we plan to buy Millie a power drill set next.
