Yesterday, as G and I were watching the Olympic coverage on NBC, it occurred to me that the Biathlon is the single most zombie-conscious sport in the games. Think about it. It focuses on two main events – cross-country skiing and shooting. Skiing directly relates to endurance, stamina, and cardio. If you can ski 10 km faster than anyone else, then you can most certainly outrun a zombie. Hell, you can probably even outrun an entire horde with that kind of endurance. The shooting speaks for itself. I mean, these people have to hit five tiny targets practically dead center…

I’m hoping for a fantastic weekend. First of all, therapy was great yesterday. Considering the fact that I pretty much randomly selected a psychologist from the internet, it was amazing, really. She basically said that since my life is pretty much in order right now and I’m in a happy, supportive environment, it’s the perfect time to finally deal with all these issues that I’ve so far been unable to resolve. That’s a good sign, I think, and I’m ready to get to work on those things. It makes me feel as if things are heading in the right direction….

I start therapy today. To be honest, I’ve been nervous about this for most of the week. I’m nervous about spilling everything to a stranger. I’m nervous about whether she can really help me or if it will be a waste of money. I’m scared what I might find out about myself. I’m scared it will get worse before it gets better.

Yesterday, I spent most of the morning dying a purple streak into my hair. Why? Well, sometimes you just need a change, for one. Also, the heroine in the book I’m writing has purple streaks in her hair, and I am hoping that by having this in common with her, I will someone be more connected to her. Of course, I don’t know how I can expect to me more connected to a girl I created in the first place, but what the hell. Anything is worth a shot. Being relatively new to the process of dying my own hair…

Just a couple of random things to share this morning. First of all, G and I have been slowly watching all the episodes of “The Office” on Netflix. They have all of the first 5 seasons on instant play, so we watch a few episodes every night while we play EQ2. It’s definitely one of the funnier shows on TV. Dwight Shrute is one of the funniest and strangest characters I’ve ever seen, but so incredibly well-developed and consistent. He really makes me laugh out loud, which, let’s face it, doesn’t happen enough in life. Last night, we were watching…

G and I watched the Super Bowl last night. To be honest, we aren’t really huge pro football fans. Or even little ones, for the most part. But I like to watch the Super Bowl. Okay, so mainly we watched it for the commercials. This year, here were my top 5 favorite ones: My #1 Favorite was marked by Google’s first push into television advertising: #2. The Doritos Commercials were all really good last night, but this one was awesome. It had me laughing out loud, which is always a good thing: #3. The unexpected Dodge Charger ad. I wasn’t…
