titans. what a disappointment.

borat looks disturbingly like a boyfriend i had in college.

coffee. brilliant.

went for a workout with my old man at his gym today, and it was stellar. one can visit this gym 4 times per calendar year, so tomorrow i have four whole new fresh visits to spend.

must sort mail, pay bills, do filing, change calendar, etc., etc., but read in the newspaper it's bad karma to do these tasks on new year's day. wouldn't want to get karmalized, so likely will just leave it all to tuesday and then kind of freak out over how much there is to do.

marathon training begins jan 28.

my banana bread is good, but that of mini-me is stellar.

here's a cure for feeling misunderstood, underestimated, and generally maligned: talk. tell other people about yourself and what you're up to with regularity and detail. being uncommunicative, imagining it's too much work to share -- insures misunderstanding. if you are in a situation where you were more communicative in the past, becoming uncommunicative can exacerbate the situation and foment an environment of misunderstanding because your image will be frozen in folks' minds at that stage where you were last communicative. that is, they will have no way to know you have changed or a context for your new self. understanding each other is a two-way street, and there's no way for us to understand each other without communicating.
