oh, i’m a feelin funky tonight.

So so so, didja hear? My fiance moved to Austin 2 weeks ago.
Didja hear that? Did you hear that?

That’s the sound of me and her slowly, slowly becoming one of them annoyingly boring couples who you schedule brunch with a week in advance, or casually bump-into at the grocery store and make small talk while wondering why they’re buying so many carrots and jugs of soy milk.

Ahh, yes. Time for a full-fledged outing of good ol’ ridiculously boring, absurdly smiling, no longer answering your phone calls immediately, fat getting, weekend sleeping inning, watching sports center on the dl-ing, waiting around awkwardly at the door of the restaurant for everyone to finish using the restroom before we walk out and officially say, “hey, that was a great time. we should do this again”, relationship style teddy!

Whoo-hoo!

It’s good to be here.

Maybe I’ll go buy myself a new blazer. Yep, cuz that’s what yuppie cupples do! Or maybe I’ll cut little heart-shape designs into the back of my neck!

Ha ha! Honestly, I’m loving it. Loving it. I’m just shocked at how incredibly lame I am when I’m a boyfriend again. Oh, I mean a fiance.

——————————————–

whine, whine, whine. Seems like that’s all we ever duz around these parts, huh?

Let’s talk about something fun!

So, I know I’m like a year late on this. But that Lupe Fiasco, he’s pretty awesome, huh? Wow!

Oh, and those Rockets! Hoo-ha, clinching the playoffs yesterday! Wow!

And that show The Wire, which I finally got to see a couple episodes of. Wow!

Or my impending trip to Chicago, where I get to stay in a sketchy hostel! Woo!

And all the weddings that been popping off in March, like Leslie and Olivers, and Mo and Jasons, and Althea’s little sister who I always forget her name! Wee!

Or Grindhouse coming out this week, which the 19-year old film geek version of me who thought getting high and watching Russ Meyer and Jack Hill all night was almost like seeing God! Wah-wah!

Um, Georgetown! Woh! And, um, Florida! Wer! Oh, and um, St. John’s! (Oh, they didn’t have any sort of post-season. Harumph!)

Okay, that’s enough of this. Weh!

Shout out to P, who’s doing great things with her life. It’s time to be single, and she’s doing it, doing it, and doing it well.  You’re living life the right way, girl.

So, I dunno if you know, but I ran a marathon a couple weeks ago.

Plus, I ran ran ran almost 20 minutes faster than last year.

Big ups to Alan and Vanessa who ran last year’s with me.

And much love to Mark and Megan who finished the last two miles with me this year.

To tell the truth, I felt great for this whole marathon. I even finished strong, speeding up for the last run, passing all the people around me and sprinting to the finish!

Part of it is the intense training I went through with Rogue (which also made me gain 15 pounds). And also the fact that it was a great day and the course finished in the UT/Downtown area, which led to a lot of familiarity.

Official chip finish time? 4:27.

How about that. Just 7 minutes off my A Goal.

Word up, word up.

Didja know my girl’s moving into town in 2 weeks? Didja know that I went vegan for 2 weeks before the marathon? Didja know that I’m no longer vegan and loving it?

Mmm . . . pizza, ice cream, cheese sticks, yogurt, feta, sour cream, real caramels, milk chocolate . . . . Ahh, I had no idea how much I missed ya.

Oh, btw didja know I’m engaged now? For those who haven’t gotten my hints.
