drowning on dry land

i’m in a blogging slump. i don’t really mind it though. i’m working more, beginning my training for some big runs, and also trying to get to bed earlier. that said, i haven’t spent as much time in front of my laptop recently. come ash wednesday you will see me taking a haitus from here for quite a while, as i am giving up a couple things for lent this year, one of which being spending time on-line. i will still check my e-mail and use the internet for church-related things, but no AIM, no blogging/reading blogs, no viewing of the latest grey’s anatomy episode’s music, no facebook (which i suspended in lieu of lent), etc… i am quite excited to do this actually. i think it will be a great time in my life and have several plans for the lent season.

but… back to grey’s. (if you haven’t seen it there is a slight spoiler to follow) i won’t lie. i am hopelessly addicted. ever since the fall of ’05 when i was sick one day at school, i ventured outside my dorm to a local blockbuster. no movie proved worthy of renting so i wandered to the t.v. section and thought “hmmm, didn’t grey’s anatomy win some award?” being one who appreciates such things, i decided to rent it… after watching the first season in 2 days (sick, i know) i was hooked. i got all caught up and now its the middle of the 3rd season and tonight was intense. i’m still not over it. in fact, i even looked up hypothermia afterwards on wikipedia to see what could possibly be happening to meredith. i don’t care if you think i’m lame. besides, most of you were probably watching it and wondering the same thing as well. (p.s. derek is officially my hero. patrick dempsey is a great actor.)

nothing else to say at this point. the show totally put me in a solemn mood. a few recent events: i am reading a great book right now. it makes me want to go visit a synagogue. ordered rob bell’s latest. my nose ring fell out. (strangely, i don’t mind. this is the second time, so i’m thinking its a sign). my managers at starbucks want to promote me to a shift supervisor position soon which is quite cool, i think. 🙂 i downloaded the new bloc party cd. it’s pretty great. really good running music. anxiously awaiting the new ones by maria taylor, rosie thomas, and arcade fire.

ttfn- tata for now.
