Today I registered for the Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon 2008! Woo! On September 28, 2008, I will possibly be succeeding at running, like, 13 miles… I think. How long is a half-marathon again? I should really work that out before September I suppose. Actually, speaking of distances, there seems to be some sort of bizarre tendency in Toronto to hold races of indeterminate distance. I’ll see a pamphlet or a poster or an ad on the train for some race/hike/walk for charity and I’ll think “Sure, I’ll do that. It might be fun.” So I look closer to see how far the race/hike/walk might be, as I dread accidentally getting involved with things like that walk for breast cancer that is something like fifty miles long and takes three days. But they never says the distance! Wouldn’t you think this would be a crucial piece of information to include? This has happened to me four or five times already. Sometimes the information concerning the location or the date is also omitted. Sometimes you go to the website and the information isn’t there either! Who are these people designing these pamphlets and posters and ads and websites? Perhaps we should hold a charity run to benefit them, as they clearly must be too stupid to fend for themselves.

So anyway, now that I’ve paid 70 bucks for this damn thing, I have to do it. It’s like when Stark used to ask me if I was going to change my mind and not move to Canada and I would say “Honey, of course I’m coming there, I have non-refundable tickets.” This story makes me seem like a real bitch, doesn’t it?

Besides the boring running crap, nothing much is new. I’ve been plugging away at the website, but there is always more and more to do. I have a million photos that need processing and I never read the instructions for this new recording device that Stark bought, even though I keep saying I will. I wasted all of yesterday trying to compress movies (again!) and failed. I hate compressing movies so much! Wahhhhhh!
