Is there something wrong w/ me? :)

So I was reading the comics today and saw the following Pardon My Planet strip. 

I thought to myself, jokingly of course, "Cool. Does that mean you're an RTSer?" (Real Time Strategy, like Starcraft.) And then my reaction was "God that was lame..." ^_^;;

Perception of distance

At Illinois, part of my run was on University from Lincoln to Mattis and back, about 6 miles. I have a similar run now here in CA w/ the same distance going down Stelling until it changes into Prospect and hits De Anza Blvd before coming back. 

For some reason the run here in CA seems much longer. I wonder if it has anything to do w/ me having done the run when I was younger, which colors my perception. But I still run it at my desired pace and it seems less imposing now that I've done it a couple of times, so I guess it's pretty much all mental. I think the density of the neighborhood, the knowledge of stores and stuff passed also make a difference.

Decline of patience

Admittedly, my patience isn't the best. But lately I find it falling off rapidly when it comes to reading non-critical stuff. If I see a blog entry that consists of long paragraphs, I automatically tune out and say "Next!" 

Is this my ADD forming or just years of training reading technical papers with concise paragraphs? ^_^

My loofah


That's a picture of my loofah. It started out white, w/ a slight blue tinge. Now it's an uneven light blue. Why? Because I wore a new gi and hakama today for kendo.

That is why I want everything in the bathroom to be blue, not just because I like blue. ^_^

写真は私のルファです。ルファは最初に白いでしたけど、今は青いです。理由は剣道です。今日のごど稽古で私が新しい着と袴を着ました。そしてシャワーを浴びて後でルファが青いになりました。だから、私が青いの浴室が欲しいです。^_^

Running

I always have such a hard time getting out of the door, and the first mile never feels good, but it always feels good at the end. Damn you...
