personal updates - and - celebrity sighting!

1) i've made a relatively landmark decision, for anyone who cares: i'm going to try to train for a half-marathon. ideally, this will just be the first step on the road to a real marathon. i haven't decided which one i'm going to do, or when, but i'm going to start training relatively seriously and take it from there. feel free to be supportive.

2) my new athletic aspirations were slightly hampered when i injured myself friday night: in standard hubris, i felt the need to prove that i can still do a full split. i can't. old age has bitten me hard on the ass and i pulled a hamstring. i think it's ok now, and i ran an easy 4 miles today, but my pride will take a little longer to recover.

3) saw shopgirl tonight. aside from the score (which was outrageously grating), it was pretty good. but was even cooler than shopgirl was seeing b-rate celebrity david morse at haru beforehand. ok, i can't take credit for the celeb id; it was my friend patsy who recognized the guy. to be completely fair, i haven't seen a single movie he has been in. but still. i feel cool. and even cooler than seeing one of the stars of the green mile was the to-die-for sushi. i'm drooling all over my keyboard just thinking about it.
